(Allyson Wildnight,17,Female,Artemis)

I wake from my peaceful sleep but that feelings gone when terror seeps through me. Today is the reaping. I look around at the other beds in cabin 8. Some of my siblings are awake but most of them are still sleeping, currently oblivious to the world. I look at all of them wondering which ones will be chosen. The boys are safe but not the girls. You see 2 months ago the gods and us demigods had an argument. The gods won and now they're forcing us to compete in a game called The Demigod Games. 2 children of each of the 12 Olympian gods have to go into an arena where we will fight to the death. Hades will replace Hera though and the tributes that represent Artemis will be 2 girls not 1 boy and 1 girl. Hera will be choosing the names, as she isn't actually competing. I slowly sit up and rub my eyes. Will I be chosen?

I don't want to. Especially if I'm going to be up against one of my cabin mates. Of course the chances of me killing them or both of us getting to the final 2 is highly unlikely. Out of 24 tributes it's not going to happen. Well...I hope not. A bell goes off in the big house, signalling the reaping. All at once everyone wakes up and starts to get ready. I pull out my reaping clothes from my trunk at the end of my bed. I've had them picked out for weeks. A green blouse, a black pencil skirt and a pair of gorgeous black high heels. I tuck my blouse into the skirt before looking at myself in the mirror. After I approve I get ready to go to the reaping. Our head counsellor, Joseph Arturus, tells us that he has orders from Chiron to line up alphabetically.

So I line up behind Bianca Velanossa and stand in front of Cameron Willis. We walk out of the Artemis cabin and follow Joseph to the front of the big house. Already the Athena, Ares and Poseidon cabins have lined up in alphabetical order at their cabin's designated spots. One by one each cabin files in until finally the Hades cabin comes in and stands at they're designated spots. Their late coming doesn't surprise me though. Hades kids aren't morning people. With a bright flash Hera appears on the stage, dressed in a white dress with white high heels. "Welcome campers to the reaping of the first annual Demigod Games! May the gods be ever in your favour! Now before we start we will go over some rules. When I call a demigod's name, I will ask for a volounteer.

You may call out I volounteer and you may take that demigod's place BUT you may only volounteer for a tribute of the same gender". She claps her hands together before saying "Well let's start!" She clicks and 2 bowls appear. In the one on her left is about 6 slips and on the bowl to her right is about 7 slips. Chiron told us that the one to her left is for girls and the one to her right is boys "Now because we're formal and polite we will start with the ladies!" Hera walks over to the left bowl and says "We will start with Zeus, then Hades, then Poseidon, then Demeter and so on until we reap 2 tributes for Dionysus".

Hera pulls a name from the bowl and walks over to the middle of the stage. Somehow, magically, her voice is magnified without an actual microphone. I'm sure she's enjoying this. Reaping her husband's kids. The ones that aren't hers, sending them off to they're deaths. She opens the slip and pauses for suspense before saying "Brianna Easton". There's a pause before Brianna steps out of the Zeus line. She looks about 15. She's clenching her fist and you can tell she doesn't like this. Hera beckons her forward "Come on dear, onto this chariot". Brianna goes and stands in the Zeus chariot, waiting to see which one of her brothers will be chosen. Hera quickly bounces over to the male bowl, plucks out a slip and hurries to the middle of the stage. "Kendall Martinez".

A really cute boy with blonde hair and electric blue eyes steps away from his cabin mates. He looks around 18 and is very tall and muscular. I automatically rule him out as a threat. Even if I'm not chosen it's better to be safe than sorry. Once Kendall is up in the chariot with Brianna, Hera clicks her fingers and the Zeus slips disappear and the bowls fill with about 7 in each. Hades, I think. That's what Hera said. First Zeus, then Hades, then Poseidon and so on until Dionysus has tributes.

She walks over to the female bowl, grabs a slip and announces "Rihanna Marke" Almost immediantly someone yells "I volounteer!". I crane my neck hoping to see the first ever volounteer. Kiamia Vontu steps out. I recognise her because the Artemis and Hades cabin do the climbing wall together. Her long straight black hair flows down her back as she walks up to the stage, walking up to the Hades chariot. Hera smiles "Congratulations!" Next Hera crosses over to the male bowl pulls out a slip, walks to the middle of the stage and announces "Ace Ashford!". A really hot guy steps out of the Hades line and starts to walk to the stage. I recognise him now. Pitch black hair with blood red streaks. Icy blue eyes. Too bad he might die.

Hera quickly changes the bowls to the Poseidon cabin names and pulls out a girl's name. "Jessica Hamilton!" A 14 year old girl steps out of the Poseidon cabin. Her brown hair is pulled into a pony tail and she has peircing green eyes. Her lips start quivering and I start to feel bad for this poor girl "I volounteer!" A 17 year old girl steps out of the line. The girl that was originally reaped bursts into tears,runs up to the girl and hugs her "Thank you so much!". Some of the Poseidon boys pull the girl back into the line and the volounteer walks to the stage. She has chocolate brown, shoulder length hair and deep sea green eyes. She steps on to the stage and Hera asks her name "Charlotte Lace".

Charlotte goes and stands in the Poseidon chariot. Hera reaps a boy who looks exactly like Poseidon except he has ocean blue eyes called Taylor Moses. Next is Demeter. From Demeter she reaps a 16 year old girl called Cora Blen and a 17 year old boy called Lewis Elliot. From Ares an 18 year old girl called Bureaka Shaze and a 16 year old boy called Toby Collins both volounteer. From Athena a very pretty 16 year old girl called Marlee Ambers gets reaped and an 18 year old boy called Simon Willis volounteers. Now let's see which one of my cousins get chosen from Apollo. Hera plucks a name from the female bowl and says "Aria Shallows!" Aria walks up and is quickly followed by Michael Wood.

I've only really talked to Aria on one occasion and I've never talked to Michael at all. Hera changes the bowls to Artemis. Well more like the bowl. The 2 bowls drag towards each other and mold into one big one. I take a deep breath as Hera pulls a name out of the bowl and opens it "Allyson Wildnight!". What? That's my name! I slowly walk out of the Artemis line and start towards the stage. I'm suddenly aware that everyone in camp has there eyes on me. Once I'm on the chariot I focus my attention to Hera. I can't let myself cry. "Danielle Rosewell!" Not Dani. Dani walks out of the line and joins me on the chariot.

Maya Santiago and Hayes Hendrix are both reaped to represent Hephaestus. From Aphrodite Trisha Wainwright volounteers and Zachariah Montgomery gets reaped. Haylee Dixon and Cooper Griffin are to compete for Hermes. Finally the bowls fill with the Dionysus cabin names. Payton Johnston and James Veneto are reaped from Dionysus.
Once James climbs onto the Dionysus chariot the chariots glow and we're transported up to Olympus.
