The reaping
Percy:
Today was the reaping. Me and my friends, Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Thalia, Nico, Reyna, Dakota, and Natalia (A/N: Natalia is my OC) were headed towards the arena to see who would die this year. They were my only old friends in district 12. The others were new demigods whom I hadn't a chance to meet. The others had died in the giant war, Calypso had been moved to the capitol where see Leo again, all the rest in different districts.
I guess I should explain:
Gaia won the giant war, and forced demigods into districts. She tore up families, and only let enough mortals live so they could have children with the gods, who were enslaved to her. Every year, each district gave a boy and a girl to fight to the death in an arena. The last one standing would be crowned victor and have eternal glory.
People from our district rarely won.
You might think of us as all strong and stuff, but Gaia weakened us. She didn't feed us or give us proper attention. We were basically twigs with skin.
"Alright." Said the mayor. "Welcome to our 10th annual Hunger Games!"
Nobody clapped. What's to clap about?
"Now this year, we're doing something special, we are going to be picking two people of each gender from each district. That means 48 tributes, 4 from all twelve districts!" (A/N: I am aware that it is only the 10th, Percy and friends should be like, twenty-seven, but pretend they're not, just for my sake.)
He said it in a cheery voice, but no one was happy. That meant nothing but more dead children.
"And here we have Effie Trinket, here to pick out tributes."
A few people clapped half-heartedly as Effie, a bubbly, wigged, maniacal, woman bounced up to the stage.
"Hellooooo! And weeeellllllcome to our 1000thhhh annnnual Huuuunger Games!"
She stretched out her word as usual, which was really annoying.
"Ok, well, time to pick! And may the odds be ever in your favor!"
She walked over to the girls. "Ladies first!"
After swishing her hand for like, 3 hours, creating much tension, she pulled out a name
"Arianna Daybook!"
A girl with short, choppy brown hair stepped up, her face white as chalk. I was pretty sure she was a town girl. I could see she was trying not to cry.
"And now for our second girl, Hazel Levesque!"
My blood ran cold. Not her. Not her. Not her.
Annabeth clutched my hand. The rest of my friends were red, biting their lips and looking down. Frank looked absolutely horrified, he was grasping Hazel's hand, who was struggling from his grip. He finally let go and she stepped carefully to the stage.
"Well now! The boys." She walked over to the boys bucket and reached deep inside. Finally, she pulled out a card.
Not me. Not me. Or Jason. Or Frank. Or Leo-
"David Cornell!"
I let out a breath, as did my friends, but my heart sank. David and I had been partners one time for a school project. He was a nice guy...
"Second boy!"
I barely had time to think before the words of death left her talkative mouth.
"Percy Jackson!"
Well, that is this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. So... yeah!
