1. The Reaping

The Final hunger games!
Chapter 1

The third quater quell didn't go as planned... So the Capitol dicided to have 1 FINAL Hunger Games! The rules are the same! There are still careers. The Reaping will be ages 12-18 and districts 1-12 need to participate! Katniss and Peeta Mellark are the mentors for the district 12 tributes!

My name is Stav Spectral. I'm 16 years old. I live in district 12. I live in the Seam. My family is poor. I have 2 siblings. I had to take care of them since I was 11. My best friend is Niko Ivory. He has a little sister who is my little sister's best friend. He also lives in the seam. He also has to take care of his family. He is my hunting partner.

DISTRICT 12:

I wake up in the morning. I check my alarm clock and it says: 4:59. Hmm well I'll be able to get some hunting done. Theres enough light to see my little sister, Zoe curled into my side, and my little brother, George lying next to her, holding her like she's a stuffed animal. They have their own beds-well, worn out matresses-but they came to sleep with me... of course they did... Today is the Reaping for the FINAL hunger games!

Zoe has light curly brown hair, and blue/green eyes. Same as George but he has straight brown hair. Their eyes are so diffrent from anyone's in the seam, and their hair is lighter then most people in the 're both 12. They're twins actually. But Zoe's 3 minutes older. I call them the twinnies.

"NO! NO!" Zoe starts trashing in her sleep... nightmares. I try to wake her up gently but she just moves around more, so much she pushes me off the bed.

"Zoe wake up!" I tell her. She sits up suddenly. She looks around the room and realizes where she is then she relaxes. "It's ok Zoe... it's only a dream. Do you want to talk about it?"

She nods. "It was... it was me!" She starts to cry. "I was in the Hunger Games... and then I was being k-k-killed, by a career!"

"Shh," I take her into my arms, "It's ok."

"What if it's me?" She asks. She's so innocent. She would never win the games.

"It wont be you. Zoe it's only your first year your names only in there once. They're not going to pick you, or George, or Sophia. Now go to sleep."

"Ok... can you sing to me?"

"Ok." I tuck her into my matress and sit on the edge. I strt singing the valley song. "Deep in the meadow. Under the willow..." By the time I'm done the whole song she's fast asleep.

With both of them asleep I take this time to pick out their clothes for the Reaping. I take out a pink skirt with a white shirt, and black flats for Zoe. I lay it down on her matress.
For George I take out a white shirt and navy blue pants with some black shoes. I lay that on his matress.
For me I pick out a soft blue dress with matching flats. I lay it on a chair next to my matress.

By the time I'm done it's 5:32. I take a quick bath. Then I put on some black pants, and a forest green shirt... green... it's so calming. It's my favourite color.

I braid my dark brown straight hair then I walk downstairs into the kitchen.
I find some goat cheese wrapped up in some mint leaves, (The cheese is from the twins goat.) and some blackberries in a plastic bag. I silently thank Zoe and George for the snack and make a mental note to pick some apples while hunting.

I leave a note telling Zoe and George that I'm hunting but I'll be back in time for the Reaping.

I put on my hunting boots and walk to Niko's house. I find some rocks and put them in my pouch on my belt. I hide in the bush under Niko's bedroom window. I throw a few rocks at the window. I wait a minute. Nothing happens.

I look into the window and see him sleeping on his matress. I open the window and take the rest of the rocks and chuck them at him. Then I duck down and hide again. "What the heck!" I hear him call from inside his room. (Niko has dark brown hair and grey eyes he could pass as my family member.)

He walks over to the window and yells out: "Who's there! Show yourself!"

Show myself... this will be fun! I jump up infront of him and yell "BOO!"

"Ahh!" he stumbles backwards onto his matress. "Stav! Sophia's sleeping!" He gestures over to a sleeping Sophia. She has dirty blond hair, and green eyes. She only looks 10, but she's actually 12 and she's so sweet! She's also Zoe's best friend.

"Sorry," I whisper, "You coming hunting?"

"Yeah, give me five minutes."

"K," I say and duck down into the bush.

A few minutes later Niko comes out and we head to the woods. When we get there it's about 6:15. We duck under the weak spot in the fence then we go into the woods. We sit on a log that we always talk on. Niko turns to me, "are you worried?" he asks, "about the Reaping?"

"A bit... you?"

"Yeah."
"What if one of our siblings gets Reaped?" he asks me.

"Well I would volenteer for Zoe, or Sophia and you would volenteer for George."

"Yeah..." He agrees. Then there's awkward silence.

I aks the question that's on my mind, "How many times is your name in there?"

He takes a deep breath then he says, "31..."

I gasp, "31! 31! Niko why- why so much?"

"I needed the food," he says simply.

"But you're only 16... you don't need your name in there so much."

"Whatever... how many are you in there?"

"21 or something." I answer.

"Oh."

"We should get hunting," I say.

"Yea." He agrees.

I retrive my bow and arrows from the hollow tree, Niko does the same. Then we take our knives out from the bush we keep them in.

In about an hour and half it's about 7:45. In total we got 6 birds, two rabbits, and 4 birds. We walk over to the lake, and I go to the tree we keep our fishing spears in. I climb up the tree and get them. I drop them down to Niko then I jump out of the tree.

We spend 15 minutes fishing and we catch 8 fish in total. We clean the game and divide it. When we finish I ask Niko if we can pick some apples. He agrees then we walk over to the apple tree. He can reach the higher branches but the good apples are always at the top. I climb the tree and pick some good apples, I tuck them in my bag then I climb back down. We sit on the log and we count the apples, we have 19 all together. We both get 8.

We sit on our log. I turn to Niko, "I almost forgot!" I exclaim. I dig around in my pouch until I find the cheese and the blackberries. "Zoe and george left this for us."

I give him some of the blackberries and we cut the cheese in half with my knive. I give him half and 2 mint leaves. "Now I have something. He digs around in his game bag and pulls out some raspberries, "Sophia gave these to me." He hands me some then grabs something else out of his bag but I can't see it. He puts it behind his back to fast. "Yesterday we went hunting and I got a turkey right?"

I nod.

"And I didn't walk you home or bring Sophia over to play with the twins. Well we went into the town. Sophia said I should trade the trukey. So we went to the bakery and..." He pulls a loaf of bread out from behind his back.

My eyes widen, we never can afford bread unless we trade our game. "We got two loafs," Niko says. "One for us and one for Sophia and the twins. Sophia is probably eating with them right now."

I snatch the bread from him, "Oh my god! Is this real?" I smell the bread to make sure it's real, "mmmm" I say.

"Yep it's real!"

I cut the bread in half and spread my cheese on my half, "Are you gonna put the cheese on it?" I ask Niko.

"Yeah," He spread his cheese on his bread. "Today we are eating a feast!" He jokes, "Bread with cheese and berries!"

"Yeah this is a great meal," I say.

"True... Oh! I almost forgot!" He take out his berries, "Black berry or raspberry?"

"Uhh... black berry," I say.

He takes out two blackberries, "Good luck..." he says.

He tosses me a berrie. "And may the odds be EVER in your favour!" I say mocking the capitol accent.

I eat the berrie and smile. "We should get going," He says.

I agree and he walks me back to my house. We knock on the door and George answers. "Hey guys!" He greets me and Niko.

"Hey George, is Sophia here?" Niko asks.

"Yeah," He turns around, "SOPHIA! NIKO AND STAV ARE HERE!"

Zoe and Sophia come running to the door. Sophia jumps into Nikos arms, and Zoe hugs me. "We should all go get ready for the Reaping." I say.

"Yeah... Lets go Sophia. Bye Stav, Zoe and George, See you guys at the Reaping."

"See ya." I walk into the house and close the door. I turn to my siblings. "Go get your Reaping outfits on. They're on your matress'"

"Ok!" They say and run into our bedroom.

"Zoe, I'll do your hair after!" I call to her.

I go take a quick bath, I rinse my hair. Zoe and George knock on the bathroom door. "Stav we're done!"

"Ok! I'll be out in a minute." I call out. I get out the shower then I put my Reaping outfit on.

I walk out of the room to find Zoe and George running around the house. I think they're playing tag. "Zoe, Want me to do your hair?"

"Yeah! Yeah!" She comes and sits on the ground in front of me. I kneel down behind her and start braiding her hair into two braids. When I'm down she turns to me and says, "Do I look ok?"

"You look beautiful," I tell her.

I flatten George's hair so it doesn't stick up. I put my hair up and I check over Zoe and George. I fix the buttons on George's shirt and I flatten out Zoe's skirt. "Tuck in your shirt," I tell them.

The bell rings signalling it's time to go. Zoe and George are staring out of the window. They seem so scared.

We walk to the town square with Niko and Sophia.

"A dress? Wow! I never thought I would see the day! Anyway you look nice," Niko says.

"Thanks you look good too." I say. He is wearing a white top with black pants.

"And I wouldn't be caught dead in this dress, but if I get Reaped then I want to look nice."

We keep walking to the town square. I turn to Sophia, "You look so beautiful Sophia," I say to her. She's wearing a white sparkly dress with her hair curled.

Zoe and George are holding my hand. They see all the people lining up. Sophia, Zoe and George freeze and it looks like they are about to burst out in tears. I kneel down infront of them. "Shh, it's ok. Now go line up. They just need to take a little bit of blood it doesn't hurt much. Ok?"

They nod and we all go line up. Zoe and Sophia hold hands and George is holding Zoe's right hand. When they're down they go to the twelve year old section.

I go to the 16-year old section and say bye to Niko.

Effie Trinket hops onto stage and the crowd goes quiet. Effie is the district escort. This year she is wearing a purple wig with a bright green outfit. "Welcome, Welcome!" she says "The time has come to select one courgous yound man and woman for the honour of repersenting district twelve in the FINAL Hunger Games! May the odds be EVER in your favour! Ladies first!"

She walks over to the ladies bowl. I think of Zoe and Sophia's name in the bowl only once. Then I think of my name in there over 20 times.

She sticks her hand in the bowl and then she pulls out a slip of paper. She opens it carefully as if she's going to rip the paper. She looks at the name then walks over to the mic. She peers at the name once more then she annouces into the microphone, "Sophia Ivory!"

Sophia!

Sophia Ivory!
My siblings best friend!

My best friends sibling!

She walks to the stage she's right infront of the steps. I'm about to call out I volenteer when someone beats me to it.

"I VOLENTEER!" The voice calls. A person runs up to Sophia before the peacekeepers can grab the person to pull them back. Then I notice who it is... my little sister Zoe! "I VOLENTEER FOR SOPHIA!"

I step out of the crowd and start making my way to Zoe and Sophia. "Zoe! Sophia!" Two peace keepers grab me. "No!" I yell at the peacekeepers. "No! NO! I VOLENTEER! I VOLENTEER!" I'm struggling to push the peacekeepers away from me but I do. I grab Zoe and Sophia and push them behind me.

"I volenteer as tribute." I say confidently.

"No! NO! NO!" Zoe and Sophia are screaming at me. I turn around to see George carrying them away on his shoulders. "STAV! NO! THIS ISN'T FAIR! STAV YOU CAN'T DO THIS! STAV!"

I turn back to the stage. "Well, well, well!" Effie exclaims, "Districts twelves second volenteer ever!" Then I realize I am the second. Only one other girl from district twelve volenteered before. She was my age when she volenteered... and won. Her name is Katniss Everdeen. Her and Peeta Mellark won the 74 Hunger Games. They're going to be the districts tributes mentors... so my mentors!

I see Katniss gasp and whisper something to Peeta.

"Come up here darling!" Effie tells me.

I walk up to the stage without showing any emotion. I can NOT appear weak. I take my place next to Dixie. "What's your name?" She asks me.

"Stav Spectral..." I answer.

"Hmmm... well ok! Now for the boys!"

I find Niko in the crowd he starring at me sadly. He mouths "I'll volenteer."

What! If he volenteers then who will take care of Zoe, Sophia and George!

"NO!" I yell out-loud.

The whole crowd is looking at me. "Is something wrong dear?" Effie asks me.

"Oh.. u-uh NO! Nothing is wrong." I say the no looking at Niko.

"Well Lets go on to the boys!" Effie hops over to the boys bowl. I give Niko a glare telling him not to volenteer. He nods his head. Thank god he's got my message.

She pulls out her hand and opens the slip. She looks it over then goes over to the microphone. She looks at it once more then she annouces, "Adam Hayes!"

Oh crap!

Adam! Adam Hayes?

Ugh! I look for Adam in the crowd. He's a merchant-so he has blond hair and bright blue eyes.

He hates me!

He makes his way to the stage. He's tall, and strong. He also came in first for the sprints (Races) And the wreastling at school.

Your probably wondering why he hates me...

It all started in grade 6... I was 11 or 12? Yeah I was 12.

My birthday was just a few weeks ago and my dad died in a mine explosion a month ago. Me and Niko were sitting against the wall just talking about how hard it has been for our families. His dad died form the same exoplosion as mine.

Niko went to the washroom and I was just playing with and elastic band that was on my wrist. I felt like I was being wastched. I looked up and looked around. Then I saw Adam looking at me. I just kept playing with my elastic. Then Adam came and sat down next to me.

I gave him a sideways glance. Then I asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"Um Uh huh Hi Stav." He stuttered.

"Hi. So are you gonna tell me what you want?" I wasn't very friendly since my dad died. I was only friendly to Niko, Sophia, Zoe and George.

"Umm I heard your birthday was a few weeks ago."

"Yeah... it was..."

"I heard about your dad."

I turned my head at him and said harshly, "Yea! I heard of it too. It's been hard but why do you care!"

"Well..." He clears his throat, "I heard your families low on money..."

Why does he care? I raised my eyebrows at him.

"So I- I got you these..." He handed me two loafs of bread. (His dad worked at the bakery.)

I gasped. I was shocked. Then I was angry! "So are you giving me these because you think I'm a charity case!" I spat at him, "I don't need your or your families help! I can fend for my own family!"

"I just thought that you could use these until you get enough food for your family." He said.

"Get away from me!"

"But I just wanted to help."

Now I'm standing up and yelling at him. "I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO HELP ME ANYWAY!" Peope were starring at me but I don't care.
He grabbed my hand and he gently tried to make me sit down.

"Look... I know you want to help me but... I don't need it. Why are you doing it anyway?"

"Because you and your siblings are starving... and if you don't eat anything soon you're gonna die..."

"Yea but why are you trying to help me?"

"Because... because... adkjfkjhflka"
"What?" I asked.

"Ldjhfld."

"Excuse me?" I questioned.

"Because I have a crush on you!" He said.

I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. "Well say something... anything..." He urged me.

"Oh..."

"That's all? At least tell me what you think."

"Well..." I started, "I don't have time for boys so you can forget about me."

"Oh..." I see the pain in his eyes. "But how about Niko?"

I didn't know what to say to that. So I just kept my mouth shut. "That's what I thought!" He said and stomped away. He left the loafs of bread. I moved them a bit closer to me so no one would take them.

Then Niko came back. "What's that?" He asked jesturing to the bread.

"Oh... It's nothing..." Just something that made someone hate me! I added as an after thought...

"Our Tributes for District 12! Stav Sprectral and Adam Hayes! Now shake hands!" Effie instructs us.

We do and then we turn back to the audiance. "HAPPY HUNGER GAMES! Good luck... and may the odds be EVER in your favour!"

Then we are being taken into district twelve's Justice building, and I get my last glimpse at district 12.
