I woke to the sound of Katniss coming through the door. She had just gotten back from hunting. I watched as Katniss took of her hunting boots

and brought the bag of game to our kitchen. I wondered how Katniss could kill those innocent animals without felling guilty. Wait yes I did,

Katniss was the only reason we were still alive. She always brought in food from hunting in the woods just, so we had food on the table.

" Hey Prim" Katniss said " do you know where the mint leaves are?"

" In the cabinet" I responded quietly.

" Alright, thanks" she said as she put some in the water.

That's when it hit me. Today, was the day of the reaping. And I was eligible. So I did the natural thing, I cried.

" Prim, what's wrong?" Katniss said.

" Today is the reaping Katniss, I'm scared" I said.

" Your name is only entered once"

" So there is still a chance I go to the Hunger Games and fight to a certain death"

" No Prim I won't let that happen" Katniss reasoned.

I had no choice but to wipe away the tears and listen to her. I won't get picked, I won't get picked, I kept thinking. I went to go wash up and

then put on Katniss' first reaping dress. The tail was to big so I tucked it into the dress. The dress was a light blue and I kept Imagining how

beautiful Katniss must have looked in it. That's when my mother came in to do my hair. She put my blonde hair in 2 pigtail braids on each side of my hair.

*******Time passes

" Prim come on it's time for the reaping" Katniss called me down.

I followed her out into the square. She told me to go with the other kids my age, and I obeyed. I hope me or Katniss don't get picked, I thought

as the Peacekeeper pricked my finger with a pin. I went and took my place to sit, as Effie Trinket walked across the stage. She repeated the

same boring speech about the Uprising and the Rebellion and thus the Hunger Games was made. Whoopee.

" Ladies first, oh me I almost forgot, we will take 2 girl and 2 boy tributes this year so" she said in her Capitol accent " may the odds be ever

in your favor" she finished. " And our 2 ladies are, Katniss Everdeen and, i bet my buttons their sisters, Primrose Everdeen."

My heart sunk. My sister and I would be tributes together. Only one would survive. Together, we walked up to the stage. Katniss looked at

me and then, I cried.

" The boys now" Effie said handing me a handkerchief at the same time " Peeta Mellark and Rory Hawthorne" Effie finished.

I knew Gale could volunteer, but he had to keep my mother, and his own family safe. That's when we were taken by the Peacekeepers.

PART 2: THE CAPITOL

My first guest was my mother. She looked at me with sympathy in her bright blue eyes.

" I'm so sorry Prim" my mother cried " now you and your sister are going into a battle for life" she finished.

" I'll be okay Katniss will take care of me but, promise me one thing " I said, " you will, go visit Katniss."

Then the Peacekeepers took her away. I was very surprised to see that my next guest was the baker, Peeta's father. He looked at me and gave me a plate of

(my favorite) chocolate chip cookies.

" Please keep my son safe" he said, and walked away.

I was confused. He wanted a 12 year old girl to take care of someone who was 16? How could I manage it? All I was sure of now, was that when we got to the

games, Katniss would be my ally.

They took us to the Capitol in some fancy train.

" Prim, Peeta, Katniss, and Rory Hawthorne, huh?" Haymitch said studying us carefully. I looked at Katniss for help, while Haymitch played with my pig-tails.

Katniss gave me a look that meant, ignore him Prim okay?, but I couldn't ignore Haymitch forever.

" Don't touch her Haymitch" Katniss said jumping to my defense.

" Oh yes Katniss, I remember you, you gave me strawberries from the woods , yes?" Haymitch said tauntingly.
