Chapter 1:
There I lay, still as a rock, deciding on whether or not I shall go to the reaping. I mean its another year of sorrow and complaints, I highly doubt it will be me out of hundreds of people. But I have what it takes to be in the hunger games, my parents trained me and my brother when we were little.
I decided that I would go to the reaping just to see who is this years tributes. As a sat there I smelt a sweet aroma coming from downstairs. I went downstairs only to find my dad making loaves of bread and eggs, I guess he wanted to make a special breakfast before the reaping today. "Oh hey sweetie, I didn't see you over there, but I made breakfast." "I see, so when is the reaping?" "I think at noon, your mom is upstairs picking out your outfits to wear to the reaping." I sat down with a plate of food, and munched on the delicious bread. I guess that dad knew that this was my favorite. I began to eat the eggs very slow because I wanted to take my time before the reaping had begun. Afterwards, I threw my plate away and I went upstairs to tell my brother, Deen, that I was going outside to practice my hunting skills. I grabbed my hunting gear and headed outside. I hoped that I would be able to catch dinner for tonight. When I go there it was quiet for some reason. But I ignored that and began hunting. I shot a rabbit in the side, then a bird in its wing. When I saw a deer go by I got ready to shoot it but suddenly the wind picked up and there was this buzzing sound in the sky. I looked forward to see a capitol blimp. It was for the reaping, it carried all the supplies and people needed to do so. I thought I should head home since the reaping was about to begin. I packed up my gear and headed for the house. I went upstairs and put on a gown my mother had sewn for me, it was sky blue with gold lace. I began to do my hair in a braid like how my mom did hers when she was younger. I finished getting ready, and waited for the bell to ring for the reaping to start. I waited for awhile but then the bell had finally rung to. One by one the boys and girls lined up to get their fingers pricked and scanned. Most of them looked nervous, but I wasn't. As soon as they pricked and scanned my finger I stood with the rest of the girls who were 15. We waited some time before the reaping actually started, but once it began Maroona Gloom, the representative for district 12, showed us a video that they played every year about the past hunger games. The video finally ended and Maroona said 'And may the odds be ever in your favor.' That was kind of a capitol saying that they use for luck. "Lets get started, and as you know ladies first." She reached in the glass bowl and dug her way to the bottom, finally she grabbed a slip of paper. She paused and said "Rose Mellark." That was my name, out of all the people it had to be me. I gulped several times, and managed to cry a little. I trembled as I walked up there, no one volunteered or anything. I tried to pretend I was brave enough to take this place in the hunger games, but you know that every thing happens for a reason, but im pretty sure that this can't get worse. There went Maroona again scrambling in the bowl for another name. My mouth fell open as wide as it could possibly go, The other tribute was my brother,Deen. I could see my parents crying in the background, probably thinking that this was a dream. The only thing I could think of was that I was going to have to kill my brother or him kill me.
