I don't ownThe Hunger Gamesnor Xiaolin Showdown or any associated characters. I only own Jemma and Jade. I also had to make Chase younger for the story but I didn't want to make him too young.
Effie POV
I stood on the stage of District 1 and observed the children waiting.
"Ladies first." I said, leaning into a basket full of paper with their names on. I chose a random paper and walked back to the microphone and unfolded the paper. "Glimmer Rambin." I called. A girl about 16 years old with blonde hair in plaits and grey eyes walked up to the stage. I then moved on to the boys. "Marvel Quaid." A 15 year old boy with light brown hair and grey eyes walked to the stage.
In District 2 I chose two more papers with tribute names. Clove Fuhrman, a young 16 year old girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes walked to the stage, closely followed by Cato Ludwig, also 16 and with light brown, almost blonde, hair and blue eyes.
District 11 saw 12 year old Rue Stenberg, a child with curly dark hair, skin and eyes, and Thresh Okeniyi, a 17 year old boy with short, curled black hair and dark skin and eyes.
And finally, I walked into District 12. I took the name out of the girl's jar. "Jade Renn." I called, and a small red-haired child, 12 years old, walked towards me. Before she could even get a few steps towards the stage an older girl with light blonde hair loose down her back ran forward. "I volunteer!" The girl shouted, and she ran forward and hugged the child before a boy grabbed her and pulled her away. The blonde girl walked up to the stage.
"What's your name?" I asked the girl.
"Jemma Renn." She replied.
"Well, I bet my buttons that was your sister, Jemma." What a shocking turn of events!
"Yes." Was her simple reply.
"Well, let's have a big round of applause for Jemma Renn." I never expected what happened next. Every man, woman and child in the crowd kissed three fingers and held them up. I quickly regained the microphone. "And now for the boys." I grabbed a piece of paper quickly from their jar. "Chase Young." I called and a boy about 18 years old with long black hair and eyes a shade of yellow walked to the stage.
