(Flora Chims,12,Female,Demeter)

I am super scared as I shuffle along the pavement with my brothers and sisters of the Demeter cabin. Like super scared. As all the cabins line up we get in
alphabetical order. I'm first, then my brother Adrian Dale,and so on. After all the cabins have lined up in alphabetical order a flash of bright light appears as
everyone waits to see who it is. After the first demigod games, the gods told us that every year a different celebrity demigod would pull the names out.
Katy Perry, Daughter of Apollo walks up. Some of the Aphrodite girls scream but Katy looks at us all sadly. I've seen her on TV before and she's really nice.
I wonder who next year is.

Katy says a welcome speech Athena wrote for her which is wierd cause i know for a fact that Katy writes all her songs and stuff so it's strange . After the speech
a clip is played telling and showing us about the argument between the gods. It also shows how us Demigods rebelled against the gods so they thought of the
demigod games. Every year one male and one female would be chosen for each of the olympian gods and so on,blah,blah,blah. After the clip Katy welcomes us and
starts the reaping. My belly is doing flip flops as she starts.

First is Zeus. Each of the reaping bowls fill up with only about 6 in each. Katy Perry walks over to the girls bowl,high heels clicking against the stage. Chiron
swishes his tail nervously as Katy Perry pulls out a name. She walks over to the microphone and hesitates before saying "Riley Stanford". Everyone knows Riley.
She's one of the only Zeus kids that aren't snobs. She smiles and waves at the cameras showing Olympus and all the other future tributes that she isn't scared.
Once she's up on stage standing under a yellow flag with the Olympus logo Katy Perry walks over to the boys. Once again she pulls out a name, walks to the mic and
reads "Lennon Wesley". Immediatley a strong voice shouts "I volounteer!". Everyone looks over to the Zeus cabin. A handsome guy who looks about 18 steps out of
the line. He marches too the stage head held high with a look on his face that makes him seem like he's daring anyone too look at him. I hate him already. I've never
seen him which is weird because all demigods are claimed by the time their 13. Well not ALL demigods so maybe he's one of those exceptions. Katy Perry watches him
stride up the stairs with a little disgust written on her face. She quickly switches to eagerness and asks "Hello, what's your name?" He grins and winks at the camera,
"My name is Dominick Knight and I am the 2nd Demigod Games Victor!" He yells pumping his fists in the air. He looks like an absolute idiot.

As Dominick goes and stands under the yellow flag with Riley the slips in the reaping bowls dissapear and then the bowls expand to twice as big as they were and
they're still somehow filled to the top. It's Hera's turn. After a little investigating done by Athena it turns out the argument between the gods was Hera's fault
not Hades' so they replaced Hades with Hera. Hades kids CAN STILL BE REAPED THOUGH. Every one in camp is at risk of being picked for Hera as she has no demigod
children. Katy walks over to the girl bowl, pulls out a name. She steps up to the microphone "Stacee Rixon,Daughter of Aphrodite." Stacee's scream is cut short
by "I volounteer!". Everyone cranes their neck to see who volounteered, including me. An 18 year old girl from the Hecate cabin steps out into the open. I
recognise her as Isabelle Smith. Why would she volounteer though? She goes and stands under Hera's white flag and then Katy pulls a name from the boys,crosses
over to the boys and says "Collin Drake,Son of Apollo". Once again someone volounteers. He's also a son of Hecate. I don't recognise him but he marches up to the
stage and announces that his name is Andrew Horus.

Once Andrew goes and stands underneath the white Hera flag Katy Perry gets ready for the Poseidon tributes. She pulls out a girl, walks to the microphone and reads
"Coraline Shade". Coraline screams in terror. She won't move so eventually Centaur guards come and pick her up and then plonk her underneath the dark blue flag for
Poseidon. She tries to hold her tears in but is failing miserably. Once Katy pulls out the boys name she reads "Drew Elwin." "I Volounteer!". Jake Michael
walks out of the Poseidon line trying to look intimidating. He obviously volounteered to protect his sister but the thing is...he's dating Riley, the Zeus tribute.
How horrible these games are.

Katy Perry gets ready for the Demeter kids. My stomach starts doing gymnastics. She pulls out a girl's name, walks over to the microphone and opens the slip. I drop
my eyes to my feet. Please don't be me, please don't be me, please don't be me. "Flora Chims!"

(Tyra Steel,15,Female,Hermes)

Flora Chims starts bawling her eyes out. That poor girl, she's only 12. The Centaur guards eventually have to come and force Flora to the bright green flag
representing her mother. I don't even know how our parents can think of something so cruel to do to their kids. I don't think Flora will make it through the bloodbath.
Katy Perry pulls out the male tributes name "Jackson Hall!". A 14 year old boy stumbles out of the Demeter line whimpering. I nudge my twin brother,Timothy "Doesn't
look like Demeter has much of a chance this year, she had a better chance last year." "Yes I know Tyra, now sssshhhh!" The difference between me and my brother is
that I'm the fun one, he's the boring one. I look at the 2 Demeter kids. They both look like Bloodbath tributes.

Katy pulls out a girl for Ares but before she even announces the tribute we all here "I volounteer!". We learn that the girl who volounteered's name is Kennedy
Engler. She walks up to the stage with a smug look on her face. She's definantly a career. She has bulging muscles and she looks really intimidating even when
she's not trying. Once again the male tributes name hasn't even finished being said when a mean looking boy called Alexander Cortez volounteers. I'm not really
surprised Ares has two volounteers this year, I mean his children are the only ones who like the games.

As the two Ares kids go and stand underneath the blood red flag representing Ares, the reaping bowls fill up with the Athena children's names. Athena's children
are dangerous in the games because they are smart and cunning. Once again there is a volounteer. As she walks up to the stage I realize how much she looks like
the female Athena tribute last year. All the Athena kids look kinda similar but this girl is like nearly a doppleganger. Oh no, it just realized it's Marlee Ambers
sister,Jilla Ambers, not her half sister her full sister. They have the same mum (Athena) and the same dad. I shake my head, I don't think Marlee would want her little
13 year old sister to risk her life JUST to avenge her death. A 14 year old boy volounteers and I immediantly recognize him as Jilla's best friend, Emanuel Stone.
Athena doesn't have a very good shot this year either. She has a 13 year old and a 14 year old.

The two kids go and stand under a gray flag and the bowls fill with Apollo names. Now this should be interesting because the Poseidon cabin is currently at war
with the Apollo cabin because last year Apollo's girl tribute tried to betray Poseidon 's girl tribute. So now they hate each other. Personally I think it's
stupid because people are going to end up dying anyway. Another volounteer is brought into the games. Her name is Jenna Archers and she looks REALLY strong. ANOTHER
person volounteers called Dylan Lawrence. Their sure is alot of volounteers this year. I don't know why so many people volounteer because these games are horrible,
ghastly things. The two tributes get sent over to an orange flag which represents Apollo.

Now it's up to cabin 8, Artemis. There's only 4 more cabins left until the reaping is over. Hopefully I don't get chosen when it comes to Hermes. Katy Perry pulls out
the female name, walks up to the microphone, opens the slip and says "Sara Nash". Once again someone volounteers "I volounteer as tribute!" everyone turns to see who
it is Michelle Aswan. Michelle is only young, I think 13, so I think she's extremely stupid for volounteering. Once Michelle is standing under Artemis' silver flag
Katy walks over and pulls out a male name. Once she's behind the microphone she says "Ryker Knight!". Obviously he's very shocked but he looks like he expected it.
Oh my gosh why am I so stupid! My hand flies to my forehead. He's the only son of Artemis! 3 are on a quest and one got killed last year on a quest. He walks up to
the stage and stands next to his sister.

Once the Hephaestus names are in the reaping bowls Katy walks over to the female bowl,pulls a name out, walks to the microphone and says "Lilac Willows!". I girl
screams and for a second I think that it's Lilac but it's actually her big sister Avery. Avery stumbles out of theline and grabs Lilac's arm "I volounteer!". Lilac
shakes her head "No Avery don't go!" Centaur guards take a screaming Lilac away while Avery goes and stands underneath a black flag. Once the commotion Katy
pulls out a male name. Once she's at the microphone she reads "Hal Gordons!". A 15 year old boy steps out of the line. He has brown hair and dark brown eyes.
He seems ok with being reaped. He goes and stands next to his sister.

My somach starts to feel weird. Only 1 more cabin until mine. Once Katy pulls the girl name for Aphrodite she walks towards the microphone. Aphrodite has like
a million slips in each bowl. No that was an exaggeration but she has like nearly 40 kids in her cabin. Katy opens the slips and announces "Lucy Destefano".
Not Lucy. Lucy is really nice. Lucy looks up and keeps a straight face but you can see fear in her eyes. She walks up to the stage and stands underneath
the pink Aphrodite flag. Katy pulls out a male, walks to the microphone and reads "Fernando Wood". Wow for once something good happened in the reaping. Fernando starts
crying and when the centaur guards pick him up he starts screaming and kicking the air like a toddler when they don't get something they want. Pretty much everyone
hates Fernando. I think even Chiron doesn't like him. Once the Centaurs finally get him under the pink flag the reaping bowls fill with the Hermes kids names.
I'm so nervous I want to cry.

I look at the female bowl. One of those names has mine written on it and that slip could be my potential death. Katy Perry walks over to the bowl, picks a name and
walks to the microphone and says "Tyra Steel". What did she say? I can't seem to process this. Tyra is my name, mine. And Katy Perry just pulled it out. Am I going
into the games? Wait, I am...Oh my gods, I'm going into the Demigod Games. I can't let them see that I'm weak. I raise my head high and take a step forward.
My twin brother, Timothy, Grabs my arm "Tyra don't go!". I turn around and look at him "I have to". Slowly I make my way to the stairs. They seem a thousand times
longer and bigger. Finally I get to the top of the stairs and stand underneath the light brown flag representing my father, Hermes. Katy walks over to the boys and
pulls out a name. Let's see which one of my brothers i'm probably going to have to kill. Katy steps up to the microphone and reads "Smith Hackett" My sigh of relief
that it isn't Timothy is cut short by "I volounteer". No, Timothy you idiot! I see him walking up to the stage. If I got out of the games I would be able to see him
again but now he's going into the games, there's no way I can win AND see him live. After he tells Katy and Olympus what his name is. As he stands next to me I hiss
at him "You Idiot! Now at least one of us is going to die!" He looks at me "As long as that means you live."

Once the bowls are empty of the Hermes kids names they fill up with the Dionysus kids names. A girl called Nikki Vanelle is reaped. She smiles nervously at the crowd
and the cameras and slowly walks to the stage. She's only about 14 poor thing. Well if you think about it she's only 1 year younger than me. Katy pulls out a male
name, walks to the microphone, opens the slips and says "Teddy Beck" "I volounteer!". A volounteer from Dionysus? A 16 year old boy steps out of the line. He walks up
the stairs and onto the stage. Katy Perry pulls him over towards the microphone and asks "What's your name?". He puts his mouth in front of the microphone and
hesitates before saying "Brandon Miller, but you can just call me Bud." Katy Perry smiles and says "Ok BUD go stand with your sister." He goes and stands underneath
the purple Dionysus with Nikki. The reaping bowls dissapear and Katy Perry says "Happy Demigod Games and my the gods be EVER in your favour". All 12 flags glow and teleport all us 24 tributes up to Olympus to get ready for our slaughter.
