The sun kissed my skin as it entered the window. I stirred and rolled around. Oh great today is the reaping. I slowly get up and toss my sheets aside. I slip out and my feet thud loudly against the freezing wood floor. I quickly change to some cargo pants and a a green tank top. I step out into the livingroom. My little sister is asleep on the couch again. Great, Tide didnt get in before midnight. I poked her slightly and she woke up with a vibernt expression in her sea blue eyes. I smiled at her.'' Hey Wave. Did sis get in late again?'' I asked.'' Yeah. really late.'' She replied. I smiled slightly. ''Come one we need to get you ready.'' I said with a fake smile plastered on my face. She nodded and went with me to my room.'' Stay here. I'll go check on sissy.'' I comanded softly. She plopped on my bed with a thump and I swept out the room. I knocked on tha door. It echoed loudly but just as I thought, no reply. ''Tide todays reaping.'' I said as I walked in. She was asleep on her bed with do one else. Thank god. I sat down next to her on the bed. I shook her soft shoulders slightly. ''Comon.'' I erged. '' I'll wake her.'' Finnick said from the door.'' K. Good luck.'' I said. I went back to my room.'' Comon.'' I murmmered to Wave. She stood up and we picked out a long white dress that cascaded around her feet with blue covering the cest plate.
I brushed through her hair. She reached back and held my hand gentaly. ''I'm twelve I can brush my own hair.'' She said. I sighed deep.'' I know you can, I just dont want you to grow up, not yet.'' I replied. She smiled at me, which was my cue to leave. I ran into Finnick in the hall.'' Well?'' I asked.
'' I got her up, it took a big bucket of cold water but shes awake.'' He replied. His sea green ees were filled to the brim with playfulness. I laughed and shoved the brush into his hands.'' Brush that golden hair of yours. You'll need it so you can help the tributes this year.'' I said. He smiled his dazeling smile that makes women swooon to their knees for him on me.'' It doesnt work on your sister.'' I teased as I returned it with my sea green eyes with speks of blue. I turned and walked back to my room. Once I was in I stripped down and put on a sea green silk dress that falls to my knees. Its soft and sea through but a back up layer of blue is behind it. It has straps but they fall limply on my arms in blue. I brushed through my curly golden hair that falls to my waist.
'' Hey.'' My twin sister walked in in and tight green dress. Her hair only goes as long as her chin that is strait as a board. She smiled at me which I returned. ''Lets go. Finnick and Wave are waiting.'' I nodded and followed her out. Finnick smiled at us as we all started to walk.'' Is Annie mentoring with you?'' I asked. ''I think so.'' He replied bubbly. Wave walked to the twelves, Finnick to the stage by Annie, and Tide and I to the fourteens. I dont have as big of chances as most of the other girls, but I do have moderate chances.
The treaty of treason was read by our announcer, Kelp Kinston. He has kelpy green hair and bright yellow eyes.[fake]. Its all fake. Finnick says everything and everyone is fake in the capitol, and I agree.'' Gentalmen first!'' He squeeled. Her voice and accent hade some of the words sound weird.'' Trident Loss!'' He announced. A tall and muscular boy walked to the stage. His muscles were clearly visable from his tuxedo. His brown hair was short, but almost like my brothers. He had watery blue eyes, pleading for someone to take his place, but no one did. Then he dipped his hand in the girls bowel. ''Tide Odair!'' My sister walked up. The blood roared in my ears. I pushed past several girls and shoved my way to the front. ''I vulenteer!''
