Easton Cullen

"'I'll only slow you down.' ~Easton to Willson just before death."Easton Cullen was the male District Ten tribute for the 99th Hunger Games. Known for his mental instability, he caused a lot of drama and scenes for the other tributes, something the Capitol very much enjoyed.

Early Life
Until the age of 4 he lived in the center of the District with his Dad, Mom and sister- Nina. When he was 4, his Dad was taken to the Capitol and never returned, Easton never found out why and would always demand his mother to tell him. She would stay strong and quiet. Because they couldn't afford living in the center, they were moved to the edge of the districts as Easton had to get a job of slaughtering cattle. When the 92nd Hunger Games came around, Nina was picked at the age of 13. Easton and Nina had always been very close and would share a brilliant friendship. Nina was very smart, pretty and athletic but, being a girl, she had no experience with weapons as in District 10 men kill the animals and women look after them. She survived the bloodbath and managed to pick up dead tributes' packs to survive. But, when only 9 were left she was ambushed by the careers and killed. His mother was driven to insanity by this act and forced Easton to kill her. After a few weeks of being alone, he had to move to the Children home.

Once there, he did everything he was told to do which meant he was trusted more with wielding knives to kill the cows. As he was so well behaved we was rewarded with an extra break, during this time he would visit the library to get books. These would be read at night and so he built his knowledge. One day during work, his only friend, Butch Cleaver, swapped his knife with Easton while they were sharpening them. Easton's was nearly done whist Butch had barely started. Easton was blamed for being lazy and was whipped 15 times on the back. After this he began to go mad. For the 98th Hunger Games, Butch was reaped and died in the bloodbath. After Easton's small collection of books had been discovered and he was thrown in the Pit- a dark hole in the ground that's hard to breathe in. He was left for 3 days with no food and only a bottle of water.
