I wake up early and tippy
toe out of the worn old matress I share with my mother and siblings.I take out some leftover tessera and start making some bread.After I prepare it I go outside and collect some damp fire wood and add it to our small hearth.I put the bread in and wait for it to cook.As I stare at the fire I think about the reaping which is today.I think of my name in that ball,I put one in since have to,5 for my sisters and 1 for my mother,Rue Wild will be there 7 times.I'm safer than most girls who have their names at least 10 times.Soon I take out the bread which tastes bland and hard as always.I gently wake up my siblings and make them sit at our wobbly table."Thank you Rue."says my mother.I nod and dress up my sisters in my old dresses."Thank you Wue"says my smallest one Izzy.I smile and whisper "No problem.".Soon enough I dress myself in last years dress,that I have worn since I was 10.The clock strikes 1 and we head to the sqaure."Welcome Welcome to the 74th annual hunger games."says our escort Ajax with her hot pink wig."Now let's watch this amazing video shall we."she says with a high pitched giggle.After the video and the borning speech it's time for the tributes."Rue Wild."I gasp and silently walk my way to the stage.Ajax smiles at me showing her big gums and I look at the 18 y/o for help."Voulnteers?"The crowd is silent not shocking really and I accept my fate."Males next."..."Thresh Wildersoon!"A buff 18 male comes and I shake a little."Shake hands."says Ajax.Thresh gently squeezes my hand and we are escorted to the visting rooms will I will say goodbye for good to my family...
