Chapter 1
"WAKE UP, WAKE UP!" screamed my brother, Holman.
I got up praying that I still was asleep. Today was Reaping Day, worst of all, my brother's first Reaping Day. But unfortuneally I am forced to start my day. As I get up from my bed I moan in pain. I check arm to confirm that my bullet wound started bleeding. You see, I just got back from the battle of District 2 which the Peacekeepers drove back the rebels and won the war. I was a rebel from District 5. 14 years old, too young to fight but my size tricked them.
I walk down the hall clutching my wound and sit down in table. Flash my wound to not show my brother and Mom gets right to work. Holman brings plates to the table. Bacon and eggs with buttered toast. "Well, kids lets get to the Reaping" says my mother. So we change into our reaping clothes and head out. "Did you hear of the twist this year?" a girl tells me. "No, I didn't. What is it?" I say "4 people are going and 2 from one district are victors" "wow that's great, 2 victors? Probably we'll get 2 victors this year!" "I know" she says "I-,"she gets cut off by Effie Trinket "Boys and girls get ready to get reaped!"She squeals "may the odds be ever in your favor and goodbye" I say to the girl. "Bye, and you too" she says. So she reaps two girls Angle Bell and Kate Brad. "and know the boys" she says."Jin and Holman Woo" I gasp. My brother and I going to the games?! I turn and see my mom faint.
