{THE HUNGER GAMES}

Part 1

Ugh, Today was my least favorite day of the year.. Reaping day. I clearly wouldn't be surprised if I got picked. I have my name in there at least 30 times. It seems if my family with my older brother and my father are the poorest in District 4. I always have to go get tesserae every week. My father and brother work at the docks catching and selling fish. Anyways, I'm Silver Bloodwrath. I am 17 years old and I am clearly alright with being in the games.. If I get picked. My father , for my safety taught me how to spear at the age of 12. I'm quite good for my age, Even better than my 20 year old brother, Raylex. I'm glad I have a special skill, or I'd be toast. As my father and brother walked me down to the reaping area, I gladly walked to get my finger pricked. I clearly wasn't worried, I was actually glad my name was in there 30 times. I'm not the girliest girl in District 4. I am the only one, along with Marcellia , Who learned how to spear and or kill at the age of 12. I simply wore a light grey dress with my hair pinned in a golden bun. It seemed Marcellia stood beside me for a moment, looking me up and down. Stopping at a light scar across my green eye and saying, "Good luck, Silver.." She usually did that to "competition".

My heart pounded in my chest, The girls were up first. As soon as our escort, Sophelia Monomark got done with her happy little speech on how the Hunger Games are 'Wonderful" and show "Strength" of our district, Yeah.. Sending kids from 12 to 18 to fight and kill innocent children would sure make our district 'Strong'.. My thinking was stopped when I heard 'Silver Bloodwrath' out of her bright red crimson lips. My world, was crushed. I wasn't ready for this after all. I shook the fear from myself, dragging myself to the stage, trying my best to not cry. I slowly shook Sophelia's hand and smiled fakely. "Ah, you're beautiful! You should survive long too, you look tough, madam!" Sophelia squeeked with pure delight. 'I'm gonna die..' I thought with pure horror in how I would die.. "Next up are men!" Sophelia shrieked into the microphone. Pulling out a piece of white sheet paper, she read aloud, "Caldawell Edenthaw!" Everyone's eyes shifted to a young, scrawny boy that looked about 13. Before he could walk a step, A young, strong looking boy lunged and yelled "I volunteer!" He then looked at the boy and bent down, hugging him tightly. The young boy burst into tears and screamed "NO! NO, LEONIS! NO YOU CAN'T GO!" He slowly walked up, staring back at his brother for what seemed as an eternity. I could tell they had a strong relationship.. The boy, Who was named Leonis I guess, was not bad looking at all.. I even found myself blushing.. I have a thing for dark grey eyes and light blonde hair. But I was NOT going to like this boy.. I might have to kill him for gods sake, Or.. He could kill me..
