Hey guys! TishTash here, doing a joint story with ma pal Dragonerin. Check her out, she's awesome. Anyway, she's gonna do the same story but from Haymitch's POV and Imma do Maysilee's POV, y'know, Madge's aunt who dies in the 2nd Quarter Quell. Hope you like it... (Dragonerin's version has the same title and cover picture, so just search Beautiful Murder...)

May's POV

I sat with my family in front of the TV in their living room. Tonight's the announcement of the Second Quarter Quell. I play with my mockingjay pin, which is pinned on my top, something I do when I'm nervous. I think I have a pretty good reason to be nervous though. The point of the Quarter Quells seem to just be to find more entertaining ways for 12-18 year old kids to be killed. I'm in that age range, along with my sister. Either of us could be chosen. That makes me even more nervous, so I play with my smooth blonde hair. My sister notices me playing with my hair nervously, unlike our parents and brother, who are concentrating on the TV.

"May, it's okay, stop worrying. We won't be picked." My sister, Annalise, tells me.

"Anna, how do you know? And even if we don't get picked, there are still going to be 23 families who lose a family member to whatever horrid thing they pick this Quarter Quell. In the first Quell they had to pick who went into the arena, and this Quell will probably just be worse!" I say to my sister.

"I just know, okay?" She says to me.

"Kids, be quiet! They're about to announce the Quell!" Our mum scolds us.

Anna takes my hand, something she's done ever since we were little to comfort me, and smiles a little at me, before we both turn our attention to the TV, where Caeser Flickerman, who has green lips and hair this year, and President Snow sat on leather armchairs. I HATE Snow. He encourages this. He wants 23 children to die every year.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, its the time you've all been waiting for," Caeser Flickerman told the crowd. That man has always been way too perky. "The twist of the 50th Hunger Games!"

The crowd goes wild, which disgusts me. They're happy that 23 kids are about to be killed?! An Avox walked onto the stage holding a small box filled with envelopes. You could see the sadness in the poor Avox's face, but she couldn't do anything about this. The Capitol cut out her bloody tongue, which sickens me. President Snow stood, which hushes the crowd. He steps up to the podium where the Avox stands helplessly. He takes an envelope out of the box she's holding. He opens it, and reads aloud,

"In the honour of the Quarter Quell, there will be twice the number of tributes."

All 5 of us, us 3 siblings and our parents, gasp while the crowd cheers. 48 tributes. 47 deaths. Annalise squeezes my hand so tightly I think she's going to stop the blood flow, but I don't care. I turn to my sister and wrap my arms tightly around her. Soon enough, we feel 3 more pairs of arms wrapping around us, all of us praying to whoever there is above. We pray for every single family in District 12, we pray for every single teenager who could be reaped in a few days. While we sit like this I know one thing for certain.

There's gonna be a lot more grieving this year...

Hey guys, I know it's pretty short, but the other chapters will be longer. We need OCs for the other tributes. Yes, the OCs are gonna be for tributes, so they're going to die ):. Here's the layout:

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Preferred District (No guarantee they will be in it):

Description:

Personality:

Weapon of choice (No guarantee they will have a weapon):

Dragon has the same story, and the same OC layout. I hope we get a lot of feedback, and bye for now!
