Chapter 1: Growing up in District Twelve
A/N: This is my first book crossover and obviously it is between Twilight and The Hunger Games. All tributes and characters are from Twilight and The Hunger Games. The other characters belong to me. In saying I don't own Twilight characters or the locations of The Hunger Games they belong to Stephenie Meyer and Suzanne Collins. I hope you will enjoy this and yes again I'm focusing on the relationship between Carlisle and Esme because they are the best couple ever. Please read and review xxx.
Every year one girl and one boy between the ages of twelve and eighteen from twelve districts are chosen to compete in a tournament where each tribute fights to the death til there is only one victor thus this is known as The Hunger Games.
"Chels, Chelsea. It is ok." Esme said as she cooed her twelve year old sister as she stared at the calendar. Today was the day of the Reaping. District 12 was one of the worst districts in the land of Panem "Chels it's your first year of the Reaping you won't get picked ok. Now rest Pumpkin okay, I'll be back okay." Esme continued before heading out "It's going to be ok Chels." She finished as she closed the wooden door she started to walk before she bumped into someone "Oh sorry." Esme apologised before noticing it was her best friend Carlisle Cullen. "Whatcha doing Essie?" Carlisle asked in a teasing manner "Trying to help my family." Esme answered as they began to walk together "On Reaping day Esme are you serious Peacekeepers everywhere it is not safe." Carlisle said in a caring manner.
Esme and Carlisle had been best friends since the age of six and met when they were walking through the woods they were so close that they would do anything for each other. They were the same age and liked the same things such as Anime, Art, helping others and most importantly each other they knew everything about each other such as they had both lost their mothers. Anne Platt died in a freak tree accident four years after Chelsea was born while Carlisle's mother had already had a son Matthew died giving birth to Carlisle. Esme's father Tobias took Anne's death hard Esme was only ten at the time and had to become the provider of the family. Meanwhile Carlisle's father Andrew in some way resented Carlisle for the death of Margaret Cullen.
"All I want is either a duck or a pigeon just to feed Chels." Esme said as they snuck into the woods "I don't get The Hunger Games. I mean innocent souls lost in a pointless game where children die it is not worth it." Esme confessed as they sat underneath a tree "I totally get it Essie I do. And by the way Happy Hunger Games." Carlisle said "And may the odds may ever be in your favour." Esme finished and laughed before shooting her arrow and killing a small duck she quickly picked it up and the pair walked back to the District without getting caught. "Ready to hear Lila's squeaky voice." Carlisle asked chuckling Esme rolled her eyes and giggled as she enter the Gob to sell the dead duck.
"Ok. Let's get ready for The Reaping." Esme said glumly
"Yeah I guess so… oh I bought you this." Carlisle replied giving her a necklace of a Mockingjay
"Carlisle it is beautiful. Thank you." Esme said sweetly before kissing his cheek "See you at the Reaping." She continued.
"Yeah…" Carlisle replied "See you with Chels." He continued holding her hand both smiled at other and went their separate ways for the Reaping while doing so Esme bumped into another boy but this boy was not sweet or handsome like Carlisle he was rude, obnoxious and never gave a damn about anyone else but himself his name was Charles Evanson.
"Watch it." He roared at her
"Geez. Sorry." Esme said as she walked past him and continued to walk home.
"Yeah you should be." He muttered angrily and stormed inside his house.
Meanwhile Esme was comforting Chelsea who was having another panic attack Esme began singing the chorus of 'Safe and Sound'
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Chelsea smiled "Come on my pumpkin let's get you ready for the Reaping." Esme said as their dad sat still in his wooden rocking chair "ok my little butterfly I've got your light grey dress and white socks and tattered grey shoes. Alright I need to change too I'll meet you here soon ok." Esme said reassuringly leaving Chelsea to get dressed while she did the same thing. A little while later both girls were dressed nicely Chelsea's light brown hair in two plaits while Esme's caramel hair was in a braid. "Oh Butterfly look how beautiful you are." Esme beamed "Dad doesn't she look beautiful." Esme urged her father "You both look beautiful…my beautiful little girls." Tobias said "Thanks Dad." The girls said in unison "Come give dad a hug girl's family hug time." Tobias said getting out of the chair and hugging his girls tightly. "It will be ok. Mum will watch over us." Esme said making her family smile. Just as she said it the horn blew and everyone in the District knew it was time for the annual Reaping Esme quickly tucked in the tail of Chelsea's blouse and tucked her necklace from Carlisle under her own blouse and held it tightly before taking Chelsea's hand and exiting the house.
