Yosdellillan's P.O.V.

Waking up at the morning was very difficult for me today. Today is the reaping for the 74th annual Slaughter Games that is created by the family of Shredder. He is the one who is controlling the Games for thirty years now.

Every year they select four brave men and women to participate in the Games. I just hope they don't pick any of my friends. But I hope they don't choose me. It's not that I'm afraid of the Games. I am afraid of what will happened to my baby brother if I go.

But it might not happened as long as I have my mocking jay necklace. It was originally a pin that use to belong to my brother but my dad made it to a necklace. It's the only thing I have of him.

I quickly got up and got dressed for school. Since Shredder not only wanted the tributes to suffer but he wants everyone to suffer as well. Everyone has to work or find a way to make money in order to buy food, water, shelter and clothes.

I would usually have traps set up in the woods near my house for small animals to come in. That is basically the food my family and I got.

To my disappointment, no animals.

So I grabbed my book bag and gently lifted my brother from his crib and held him in my arms. I went out of the house and headed to school.

During lunch, I didn't want to eat anything. In the table, Raph and his brothers were sitting here, especially Sunny, April, and Phoenix. To be honest, Phoenix and I just became friends a few weeks ago since Raph and Sunny introduce me to her. She is really nice and I like her already, but she doesn't know much about me.

Like she didn't know that James was my brother instead of my son. It was a honest mistake and she didn't know, but I treat James as my son anyway.

Phoenix is really pretty, she has a tan skin, red v-neck short sleeved shirt, a black vest that goes over the shirt, a short red skirt,ripped tights, knee high black boots, black gloves with the fingers cut out of them, black hair that goes down to her but a red streak in it, and red eyes.

I can see why Raph has a crush on her.

It pains me to know that Raph likes someone else while I have a crush on him. But as the old saying goes, if you love someone set them free. I will do anything I can to get Phoenix and Raph together.

When I saw them talking to each other, I couldn't help but smile.

Just then, the speaker turn on and our principal announced, "Attention students. When the bell rings, please report to the usual location of the reaping as soon as possible. Happy Slaughter Games and may the odds ever be in your favor."

I hope the odds are not in my favor, or my friends.

When everyone in town was at reaping, it was silence. Except for Effie, she was giving the speech about the Slaughter Games. I was nervous and terrified that I was glad that I didn't eat any breakfast and lunch. If I ate anything then I would have throw up by now.

I looked at my friends. Sunny, Phoenix, April and Lucy were next to me. Lucy was looking nervous than I was. She was trembling until Sunny out a hand on her shoulder. I looked over at the boys' side, there was Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mikey, and Josh. Raph saw me and gave a small smile to calm me down. I smiled and nodded slightly.

I looked at the adult section, there was my mom and dad. They had James with them.

Effie announced, "As always ladies first." She walked to a glass bowl that had a just of strips of paper that had the names.

"Sunny Jene Denson, April O'Neil, Phoenix Majestic, and Yosdellillan Anne Johannes." She announced in the microphone.

I silently gasp and looked at my friends, they were as shock as I were. But Phoenix and Sunny had a poker face on so I don't know how they feel now. The four of us walked to the stage but I stopped when I heard an infant cry.

I recognized that baby cry anywhere. I looked back and saw James crying and struggling to be out of my mom's arms. I turned back and went straight to the stage. But I was struggling, at least I made it on stage. We were in line but the order we were called in.

Effie said, "Our female tributes for the 74th Slaughter Games. Let's give them a round of applause!"

Nobody clapped their hands. They kept staring at us with pity, and sadness.

"Well then, now for the boys. Leonardo Hamato, Raphael Hamato, Donnatello Hamato, and Michelangelo Hamato."

We gasped. Raph and his brothers are going to be in the Slaughter Games! This is an outrage and completely unfair! They all made their way on stage and I looked at them and I gave them a nod.

Effie told us to shake hands and we did. It was painful knowing that they were coming with us to get killed. But everyone in our teams knows how to fight and they know what to do and not to do.

If I remember anything my late brother said, he told me that in order to survive the games, we need to work together.

The peacekeepers lead to us in a big room and we stood there. None of us knew what to do. Until our families came bursting through the door.

I quickly embraced my mother and father. But I held on to James and said, "Mom, Dad, I need you to take care of James and not work so much."

They seem shocked but mom said, "Honey...I'm not sure if we ca-"

"Mom this will not be the same! James would be by himself without anyone to take care of him! I won't be around to take care of him."

"Look if this about what happened with Troy then I'm sorry if we abandoned you."

"Don't say sorry to me. Say it to James, he was an infant and you and dad refused to take care of him. No matter what you two hear or see don't turn your back on him. Understood?"

Dad nodded and Mom was in tear and they gave me a hug. It was strange to have all of us together as a family again. But it felt like there maybe a ray of hope left for us.

My mom whispered, "Yose are you sure you want to take the necklace with you?"

"Positive."

"I'm worried the killers will recognized the Mockingjay. They will remember that it used to belong to your brother and they might kill you first."

"They're going to have to catch me first." I told them with pride and winked at them. They looked worried. Do they even have faith in me? I looked at my friends. They were saying goodbye to their parents and Lucy was sobbing in Sunny's arms while Phoenix was staring at me. She looked at James the most.

Just then Foot Clan soldiers came in and guided our family out, but James was hanging on to me as tightly as he could and started crying.

"Jamie it's okay, it's okay-" ,before I could continue they took him away from him and he kept crying until he said, "Mama Yoyo!"

As the door closes, I just stared at the wall. I went to my friends and said, "Guys this is where the danger comes in. My brother told this that I think it might be useful to us. 'Don't let the Slaughter Games change you. Kill the killers that Shredder trains to destroy us. Most important try to make a good impression so you can get sponsors.'"

Phoenix spoke, "How does your brother know about this? I didn't even knew you had another brother."

"That is a story for another day and-" I was interrupted by someone who came in. It was Effie. Phoenix mumble, "Ew clown."

We tried our best to not laugh but Effie didn't noticed and she said, "Time for all of you to meet your mentors!"

Mentors? Did they changed the mentors this year or did it remained the same?

During the 72nd Slaughter Games, Troy told me about the mentors. There was eight mentors and each tributes get one mentor.

Troy told who the mentors were.

There was Maggie who is now eighty years old.

There was Bruce who is forty seven and I remember him since he is always drunk every year.

There was Yathwa who might be seventy one? I was not familiar with any of them.

I do remember Troy told me there was two mentors who were younger than the rest.

Effie guided us to an large room in the train where the mentors were. Bruce was drinking a glass of wine as always and always drunk. I wonder who gets him?

Maggie the woman who was the oldest of the mentors came up to me. She had a wrinkled face, grey hair but she seems to still be fit. Except she moved a bit slower each year. As soon as she reached to me, she smiled and said, "Are you related to Troy Johannes?"

I nodded and she said, "I used to be his mentor. He won but I was so devastated when he died days after the games. Did he told you what the Mockingjay meant to him?"

I whistled four times in a high tone. Everyone stared at me confused. Maggie's eyes lit up and she whistled back in the same tone as me.

Phoenix came up to me and said, "What was that?"

"The Mockyingjay whistle."

Let the Slaughter Games begin.


I would to say one thing before I go. Happy Hunger Games and may the odds ever be in your favor.
