Prologue

"The Reaping is next week." I looked up and Katniss sighed. "How many times are you signed in?" I asked. Katniss took a deep breath. "29 times." She said bitterly. "You will be fine." I said, to be honest I didn't really know what to say. In every way, Katniss was different than me. I sometimes honestly wondered what was going on in her head. Did she worry? Did she feel sad sometimes? I guess she did. But her eyes didn't tell me anything of what she was thinking. It frustrated me sometimes. "Katniss." "Yes April?" "What will happen if one of us is chosen?"

Katniss kept quiet for a second. She was thinking of an answer. "Katniss. Promise me you will be fine. Promise me when one of us gets chosen, we will take care of each other's family. And most importantly, don't forget who we are and who loves us. Promise me."

Katniss stopped staring at the grass under her feet and looked me straight in to the eyes. "I promise."
