Prologue 1: Kris
EXO Hunger GamesMy name is Wu Yifan. I am from District One. And today, I sit here, wondering what could become of my fate. I could die in the Games, or I can live for another year. I don't know. So, I'll just sit in my house and ponder over fate.
I stood alone in my room, dressed formally for the mandatory reaping process for the Games. It was a nice set, it was. My district does, in fact, specialize in luxury goods. I wore a blue suit, and it was quite classy, but the classiness kind of canceled out with the large matching feather brooch I wore on the right side of my chest. My hair was washed and styled with some kind of sticky gel. I examined myself in the mirror, wondering why I had to look so nice for this reaping.
"Respect for the Capitol," my mother would say. "It shows that you put time and effort into such an important event."
Whatever. As if dressing nice will affect how I will battle in the arena. I'll win this year anyways. I'm a Career tribute. I trained for years just for this day. I'll kill them all, and win the crown, I know I will. When I hear of the Games, I feel my adrenaline rushing. I feel ready to fight. Because I know that very soon, I will be put in the shoes of every past Hunger Games tribute.
The Capitol...they've made me a beautiful madman.
And I love it.
