by 74hgpeetakatniss

Prim was reaped, but Katniss does not take her place. Peeta and Prim go in the games together, and Peeta is determined to keep her alive. What will there journey be like and how will Peeta and Prim use there talents to make sure Prim survives? Not a Peeta and Prim romance story. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES!

1. Primrose Everdeen!

Today is my first reaping. My name is in there only once so everything should be okay. However, there's still a chance Katniss or I will die soon. I'm not doubting Katniss being able to survive those games, I know she could win, but I have to prepare myself for the worse, even if her chance of dying in the games is just as likely as me being reaped.

Katniss and I walk to the square, and I am extremely nervous. I suddenly stop walking and Katniss kneels down in front of me so we are now eye level to each other. "Prim, shh, it's okay they're just gonna prick your finger to get a sample of your blood. It barely hurts. I want you to go find your way to the little kids after you sign-in. After the reaping make your way to go find mom. It's going to be okay Prim, I promise."

I register than walk over to the back where all the 12 year olds are lined up. I see my friends from school, but know one is talking. They're all very serious. The mayor, , District 12's only living victor, Haymitch Abernathy, and Effie Trinket, the District 12 escort, are all up on the temporary stage. We watched the Treaty of Treason and a lot of things were said, however I didn't listen to any of it because I was too worried that my name will be chosen. I don't want to die in the arena.

"Ladies, first!" I do hear that part because I know its possible that Effie will pull my name out. She holds her wig while walking over to the glass ball. She puts her hand in and pulls out one single slip of paper.

"Primrose Everdeen!"

No. My name was in there was once and out of the thousands of slips mine was chosen. How? I know I better start making my way up to the stage because people are starting to stare. I don't even dare look at Katniss right now. She is probably going in hysterics and is about to volunteer to take my place or she is not even clearly realizing whats happening due to shock. I don't want to see her have to go through this.

I'm walking up the steps to the stage when I hear it. "Prim. No! Prim. I volunteer. I volunteer as tribute! Katniss screams. I turn around and stop walking, waiting to be given instructions on what to have happen.
