Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was dark and cold, Pinkie Pies mane flat from depression and the heavy rain that was pouring down in district 8. Pinkie sighed. She was hated the reaping day because she had lost her sisters Maud Pie and Marble Pie to the hunger games, as they had been called at the reaping and nopony had been willing to risk their life for pinkies sisters. "Hey, look. It is that loser pony Pinkie pie! Hahaha!" Caramel Apple, the pony who hated her, laughed at her. "Why don't you pick on some pony your own size!" Pinkie snapped as she slowly trotted to the reaping.

When she got there, the town square was packed with ponies. Pinkie managed to get a spot up the back. She arrived just in time to hear the friendly voice of the mayor call out the Colt. "Bubble berry and Pinkie Pie! They are this years tributes to the Capitol for the hunger games!"

Pinkie wondered if she heard correctly, as she walked home and collapsed on her bed. She started sobbing when she realised what had just happened. She hoped when she got to the arena, the other tributes would just kill her straight away, so she didn't have to suffer the guilt of killing somepony.

As it grew dark outside, pinkie fell asleep but her dreams were filled with dying ponies, herself killing ponies but she was dying at the same time. Then she didn't move till the next morning.
