The song remains the same

Arya had run these trails so many times over the past five years that it gave her mind time to wander. This was unfortunate because her thoughts always ended up in the past and she had to shut those thoughts out, they were just too painful. She tried to snap her mind back to the present and focus on the hunt, but it was difficult. It was always the same on this day. This day and Arya had history and some unfinished business. She sighed and looked around at the lush, thick forest that surrounded her and decided that there was no point. She usually went hunting with Daniel almost every day but wanted to say with his family today witch was understandable. She still had some squirrel left from yesterday's trip into the forest. She started to unwillingly jog back to the fence but stopped at a hollow log at the mouth of the trees. After she stored her bow and quiver in the log she walked to the fence that once powerful electrical currents radiating down its length but now stood silent. Arya walked slowly down the quiet streets of district still trying to keep her mind from the painful past. She usually did a good job of blocking these particular memories but the reaping day always managed to force her to rember. Another reason she hated this day so much. She ducked into her door quickly because she saw one of the peacekeepers coming toward her and she could not stand the sympathetic looks she always got on the day of the reaping. She walked up the stairs to her bedroom and bathroom. She was in no hurry to get ready; no one in district twelve was. She quickly washed her face and took of her hunting jacket and washed her arms. The house was quiet well it was always quiet because of this day. Arya looked at the cracked mirror above the basin and stared at her refection she saw a girl with dark brown hair, icy green eyes and a straight nose. Petty she guessed but there was something different about today and got furious when she realised what it was. I was fear. She closed her eyes and let herself be scared for ten seconds. After that she opened her eyes made her face completely expressionless put on something a little nicer that her usual outfit of leather boots, leggings and a soft leather jacket. After she had put on some shoes she walked out of the door shut it behind her and joined the crowd that was making its way down to the square as she walked she looked around at the faces of the kids that were forced to be there and tear streaked faces of their parents. Most of them were still saying goodbye, maybe for the last time. Though this year would be whoever got picked chance to win we had the best chance of winning since Haymitch was sober. They had the mentors in possibly Panam: Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Melark. Though it is true this is there first time couching ever still one of the best chances of winning. She had reached the square and went to go stand with her age group. She looked and the faces of the other kids and tried to find Daniel. She saw him almost at the same time he spotted her. "Good luck" He mouthed and she nodded feeling sick. Everyone's head turned towards the podium because Katniss and Peeta had just come on the little stage along with Effie Trinket. Effie walked up the microphone and tapped on it to presumably get everyone attend although there was no need the entire square was dead sigh lent. Arya tuned everything out as Effie's voice bubbled into the microphone. She looked around and her eyes fell on Katniss and Peeta and she saw Peeta grab onto her hand and squeeze it. Katniss looked over to him and gave him the tiniest of smiles and then suddenly she looked straight at Arya like she felt her eyes on her. Katniss looked away first to Effie and suddenly Arya was aware that Effie was about to choose the girl tribute. She held up the slip of paper and said:

"The girl tribute to represent district twelve in the 75 annual Hunger games is…." Her unfolded the paper and Arya heart hammered against her chest and she squeezed her eyes shut.

"Arya Wayland"
