LINKS TO OUTFITS ON MY PROFILE!
"NO!CATO!"I yell as Cato slips from the cornucopia.
I run to him,trying to catch his arms. I grab his hands which are clutching the cornucopia.
I'm Angel Caydens and I am in the 74th annual hunger games. You know what? Let me start from the beginning.
It all started back in my district. District 3...
I brushed my long dark brown hair as my brother knocked on the bathroom door.
"Angel,you've been in there forever!"My 14 year old brother,Damien,complained.
"I have not!"I yelled while slipping my reaping dress on.
I put my shoes on and opened the door.
"All yours."I said pushing past Damien.
I went to the kitchen to see our mother eating.
"Morning."I said hugging her.
"Hey,you nervous..."She trailed off as she always did.
"Nope."I lied starting to eat.
Truth is,I was terrified.
"See?I take a few minutes to get ready where as you take all day."Damien said coming in,all dressed and ready.
"Shut up!"I yelled annoyed.
"After you do!"Damien yelled.
"Stop..."Mother trailed off.
"Sorry."I whispered going back to my food.
A few minutes later,we were on our way to the town square.
I looked around district 3. We're known for technology. I think it's cool because I know alot about electronics and wiring and stuff.
Soon,we were at the town square. I went and got my finger zapped before I went over to the division for 16 year old girls.
I saw my best friend,Hayley. She bounced over to me,her red hair bouncing with her.
"Are you excited?"She asked smiling.
"Yeah!"I lied.
"Well,if you're picked,I'll volunteer for you!"Hayley said seeing through my act.
"Thanks!"I said smiling.
We then heard something.
We looked to the stage and saw our district's escort,Nicki Mullins,tapping the microphone.
"Hello and happy hunger games!Before we pick the tributes,we want to show you all a video from the capitol!"Nicki said in her silly capitol accent.
Everyone turned their attention to the screen that was by the stage before a video was put on.
It talked about why the hunger games happen. They happen because of a rebellion 74 years ago.
They wanted something to keep the district's in line,so the hunger games were made.
"We will first draw the name of the female tribute!"Nicki said as soon as the video was over.
She went to the glass ball that held the girls names,drew out a name,and came back to the microphone.
"This years female tribute is...Angel Caydens."Nicki said into the microphone.
WHAT?ME?
Everyone in the crowd moved so they could see me. I looked at Hayley,waiting for her to volunteer.
But she didn't.
After I was standing in the same spot for too long,two peacekeepers came and each grabbed one of my arms.
"HAYLEY!VOLUNTEER!YOU PROMISED!"I yelled while being dragged up to the stage.
I was put down beside Nicki.
"Well,um,let's pick the male tribute!"Nicki said after a few seconds of silence.
She went to the glass ball that held the boys names. She came back to the microphone after she had gotten a name.
"This years male tribute is...Damien Caydens!"Nicki said.
WHAT? NOT MY BROTHER! PLEASE LET THERE BE ANOTHER PERSON WITH THAT NAME! Damien emerged from the crowd and came to stand by Nicki and I on stage.
"Well,I bet my hat that you two are brother and sister!"Nicki said.
"Yes,we are."Damien said.
"Please shake hands."Nicki said smiling.
I shook Damien's hand before looking back at the audience.
"I present to you,this years district 3's tributes!"Nicki said clapping before everyone in the audience joined in.
The only person not clapping was mother. Damien and I were then taken to separate rooms to say goodbye to loved ones.
Mother came in first.
I walked to where she stood in front of the door. I engulf her in a hug.
"Come back..."She trailed off due to her tears and craziness.
"I Love..."She trailed off.
"I Love You Too."I replied before I pulled away from our hug and she left to go see Damien.
Hayley then came in.
"YOU PROMISED!"I roared at her.
"I'm so sorry!"She yelled before she started crying.
I quickly pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry."She whispered.
"It's okay."I whispered back before we pulled away.
She then left.
Nicki came in and told me it was time to go. I left and went with her and Damien to a car.
We got to the train station and we went on the train. There was food EVERYWHERE.
"Let me go find your mentor."Nicki said before walking off.
Damien and I shared a look before we hugged each other.
"I love you."He said to me.
"I love you too."I said.
Nicki then came back in with an older man who had pale skin,dark hair,and glasses.
"This is Beetee. He's your mentor."Nicki said while she sat down.
"One more year of getting amateurs!"Beetee complained.
"Hey!"I yelled.
Damien then held me back from charging at Beetee.
"Let's watch the reapings!"Nicki said trying to make sure a fight didn't happen.
We all sat in front of the big screen. The reapings came on and it started with district 1.
District 1 was a girl named Glimmer.
I had a feeling that she was a total flirt. The boy was Marvel and he looked like he was very cocky.
District 2 was a girl named Clove and she looked very deadly.
The boy was Cato and he was very attractive but he still looked like he could snap my neck in an instant and not think anything of it.
Then our district came up. Damien had a calm look while going up on stage where as I caused that scene.
I didn't find any of the other district's until district 11. District 11 was Thresh and he looked to be about Cato's size.
The girl was Rue and she looked like she was only 12. Too young to be in the games.
District 12 was the most interesting.
A girl named Primrose Everdeen was called but before she could make it up on stage,a girl who looked to be about 16 years old stepped out and volunteered for the younger girl.
The girl who volunteered was Katniss Everdeen and Primrose was her little sister.
For the male tribute,Peeta Mellark was called. After he came up on stage,the reapings were over. I got up and left the room.
I found a bedroom and I decided to stay there. I got in bed and within two minutes,I was fast asleep.
