Chapter one

When I wake up, the otherside of the bed is cold. My hand searches out for Mikasa, seeking her warmth but only finding the rough canvas cover of the matress. I curse inwardly, she must have gone hunting without me again. Who was I kidding, I knew she would. Today is the day of the reaping.

I look around and see that dad is still asleep. He was a doctor, until my mother died and he turned himself off. Stopped doing anything, Mikasa and I was forced to take care of the household ourselves. The only real thing he has done the years mom have been gone was to go crazy once and injected me with some weird thing in a needle. It didn't do anything but he became even more distant after that.
I swing my legs out of bed and put my shirt and boots on. I walk out of our house intending to find Mikasa. Our part of district 12, nicknamed the seam, Is usually full of coal miners heading out to the morning shift at this hour. Men and women, dirty from the coal, sunked faces from the lack of food. The reaping isn't until 2. May as well sleep til then. If you can.

Our house is on the edge of the seam. Not far away from the Meadow. The thing separating the meadow from the woods is a high chained fence topped with barbed wire loops. In theory it's supposed to be electrified 24 hours a day. But since we're lucky we have 2-3 hours electricity at night, it's usually safe to touch.
I flatten out my belly and slide under a meter long stretch. There are other weak spots on the fence as well but this was the closest one to our home. As soon as I'm in the woods I retrieve a knife from a hallow log. I find Mikasa after 5 minutes of looking. She has an unreadable expression, which she only has when she's very worried or on the day of the reaping.

When she noticed me she immediately smiled
''Look what I got'' she said holding a loaf of bread. It was from the bakery. ''Mmmm still warm….What did it cost you?'' She didn't answer but took a bite from the bread. I sigh, she never tells me things like this. She tells me to not worry but…..She wasn't my real sister and you could see that clearly. She was a pretty girl with raven black hair and gray eyes while I had brown hair and blue green eyes.
''We could do it, you know.'' She says quietly.
''What?'' I ask.
''Leave this place. Live in the woods, we could make it.'' Says Mikasa.
''You know I can't…'' I answed quietly.
Mikasa looked understandingly at me. I promised long ago that I'd go to the ocean with Armin. Armin was my best friend; we have been together ever since we were toddlers. I loved him with all my heart, a little too much than acceptable….I just couldn't bear to see him hurt and Armin was quite physically weak and could be hurt if they lived in the wood, And I would never ever leave him.
''Let's go home and prepare for the reaping.'' Mikasa said.

We walk towards the seam in silence. You become eligible for reaping once you turn 12 til you turn 18. When you're 12 you have your name entered one time and at 13 two times, and so on. It were the same in all the districts. But there's a catch if you're starving you could add your names more time in exchange of tesserae. I had my names entered 4 times at the age of 12, and now at the age of 16 my name will be on 20 reaping.

Mikasa went in and dressed before me. She decided to wear her mom's old dress, it was white with red flowers on it, matching her red scarf. Dad had left a nice white shirt and black pants for me. I took a bath before I put them on. We then walked to the reaping, on the way I saw Armin, he wore a white shirt, a grey vest and grey pants. I felt my face heat up, he looked really cute, he turned his head and smiled at me. This made me blush even more.

The reaping was held on the square. The camera crew was on the roof, ready to start filming any moment. I find myself standing in a crowd of 16 year olds. I stare at the two large glass balls, one for boys and one for girls. They would choose one girl and one boy to be tributes, the only way for two of the same sex to be tributes was if one volunteered. This has only happened in districts 1 and 2.

Just as the towns clock strikes two the town's mayor and begins to read the story. It's the same story every time. The history of panem, disasters, the war and how it gave us the hunger games. The rules were simple all districts sent two tributes and they fight to the desth with all the other districts tributes. The last one standing was the winner. That was how the capitol controlled us. Make us watch kids and teenagers fight to death. He then reads the disctricts winners. In 74 years districts 12 had 2 winners. Only one still alive.

Levi, a short, middle aged man. He walked on the stage with a grim expression. The crowd responds with its token applause. He walks besides his wife, Hanji zoe. The mayor introduces Hanji Zoe, Hanji Zoe happily and bubbly said her signature ''Happy hunger games! May the odds be be ever in your favor!'' Her brown hair was worn in a pretty ponytail, she had black framed glasses which brought out her brown eyes. She talks about what an honor it is to be here, everyone knows about her fascination with all of the districts. She used to be a scientist but they refused to let her go outside the capital, she chose this job, met and later married Levi.

I looked for Armin through the crowd, and saw him looking at me with a sad smile. As reapings go this one at least has the entertainment factor. I think of Armin and his chances of being chosen. It horrified me. It's time for the drawing, Hanji says as she always does ''Ladies first!'' and crosses the glass ball with the girls names. She reaches in, digs her hand deep in and pulls out a slip of paper.

Hanji Zoe crosses back to the podium, smoothes the slip of paper, And reads the name in a loud clear voice.
