Zoe woke up early that morning even though she didn't get enough sleep last night. The reason was because she needed to hunt and trade some food before going to the reaping this afternoon. As she made her way to the kitchen, she saw Nico sitting near the table, eating some rabbit stew. Immediately at the sight of him, she rushed up and hugged him. " Oh my gosh Nico you're back! Nico smiled back at her with joy. " Of course, how can I miss a day with my little sister, besides we were given a break because of the you know." All the joy was sucked out of the room when he said it, leaving behind an eerie feeling. " Nico, do you think one of us will be picked?" " really don't know sis, but I know that whatever happens, we'll get through it. You better go hunting now though, I'll pick your clothes." After what had been said, Zoe quickly grabbed her double-headed throwing axe and some knives, with a bag and headed out. Once she made it to the fence, she saw her best friend Maddie standing by the fence with her bow and arrows. " You ready Zoe?" " I'm always ready." Both slide under the fence and began their hunt.

Adrik woke up, the sun shining through his window right onto his face. Standing up he shook the sleep from his tired bones, quickly dropping to the floor to start his daily exercise before going down to the docs and working more. He looked up, hearing the quiet thumps of clumsy feet walking into the tiny living room.

"Daddy!" Felix yelled, climbing onto his back as he went up, and then down, holding it long enough for the child to slide off, pushing himself up into a standing position, stretching his arms above his head and then grabbing Felix's hand, walking him into the kitchen.

"Morning Nonna," He said, flashing his charming smile to his grandmother, already knowing what was on her mind. Today was the day of the reaping, after this one was just one more and Adrik would be free, free from the blood thirsty eyes of President Snow and his followers, using the people of the districts in their sick game. Adrik pushed the thought to the back of his head, placing Felix on a wooden chair at the table, ruffling his hair as he was served the plate of cut up fish and three apple slices. Sitting down, Adrik decided to explain what was going to happen today.

"Hey buddy, today isn't going to be like any other day," He started out, thanking his grandmother when she had set both of their plates on the table, "Daddy has to go into town today, and there is a chance he is going to go away for a while okay?" He asked, his Nonna took hold of his hand under the table. She hated the games with a burning passion, her fiance- and Adrik's grandfather, was a tribute in the games when he was eighteen, although he never made it back to help take care of his newborn daughter.

"I'll go get dressed." He decided, picking up his plate and shoveling the last few bites of fish onto Felix's plate, his brown eyes practically begging for more.

Flavia got up and, shooing away the handmaiden, got dressed on her own, wearing the homeliest clothes she could find in her closet and pulling her hair back in a simple ponytail. She wore no makeup as she stepped outside into the morning, letting the large crowd walking to the main square pull her along with them.

In the morning, Lavender felt herself shaken awake. "Lavender, sweetie, you need to get up." She opened her eyes to find her father standing over her. "Hi dad." She muttered. "Get dressed and eat something. The reaping is today." Lavender sat up. The reaping.

Once dressed, he made sure everybody was ready to go. Once he got into the busy center of life he handed his son to Ara (His grandmother) kissing them both on the forehead and turning away, signing in and standing in between the older boys, his head held high and his facial expression solemn.

He scoffed when a lady in bright blue clothes walked out, her pale face covered with both turquoise eye shadow and lipstick. He scoffed as she welcomed them, a little too cheerful for his liking.

"Welcome to the [insert what number game it is] annual Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!" She exclaimed a bright smile spread across her face as she placed her skinny hand on her hip, gesturing with the other.

"Alright, let's get this over with." He whispered to himself, crossing his arms across his chest as he waited.

Lavender gave her father one last hug. "I love you dad." She whispered. "I love you too, Lavender." He kissed her on the forehead. She signed in, trying to take deep breaths and calm the butterflies in her stomach. As she joined the group the of girls, a man in alarming orange stepped out.

"Ladies first," She announced.

He zoned out, his eyes focusing on his grandmother and son. The sound of the escorts claps snapped him out of it.

"Now, for the boys." Rosaleen said excitedly into the microphone, reaching her hand into the clear bowl, picking out a random piece of paper. Her brown eyes scanned the crowd of boys, clearly unimpressed.

"Adrik Gethen."

The crowd around the exquisite stage was loud with anticipation. As the District 1 equivalent of Effie Trinket, Valentina Zoe, walked up the golden steps, they all fell silent, watching her swish her fingers throughout the fishbowl-like container with all of the names inside. “Ladies first!” Valentina trilled, and she fished out a slip.
Flavia prayed silently for her name not to be drawn.
“Flavia Atala!” She called. The crowd cheered and turned to stare at Flavia as she numbly got up from her seat and stalked to the stage.
This was not happening, she promised herself. This is a dream. I will wake up.
She didn’t.
Holding her composition together, Flavia made it to the stage and smiled at the crowd as best she could, but something inside her broke when she saw her parents smiling and cheering for their doomed daughter quite happily.

After their successful hunt, both Zoe and Maddie split their share of the game and decided to go home early instead of the hob. Besides no one will be there today because of the reaping. Wishing good luck, Zoe ran home early so she could change into her clothes. Once she got home, Nico had picked a white and simple dress for her, that was laying over the chair. After 25 minutes of preparation it was time. It might be the day if her brother or she was leaving. Dread filled Zoe as she and the district were walking to what would be 2 of their deaths.
Effie Trinket was of course picking the names today. Zoe squeezed Maddie's hand as Effie was about to pick. " Ladies first!" She delightedly said in her shrilly voice. Seconds go by slowly as if time had stopped when she wretched the little paper fold out of the jar. " Maddie Henderson." Time officially stopped when she said it. " No she can't go." She thought to herself. Then she did something, she wouldn't expect. " I VOLUNTEER, I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!" A stunned silence went over the crowd as Zoe stepped on the stage. She could hear Maddie screaming in the distance, but this was it. She was going to the Games.

If we are allowed to play two people, i could abandon my district 4 girl because I really just planned on having her there until someone wanted to be female for 4…I could jump in as a male for one….if that's cool, I'm honestly better at being males…tbh :b
