Morning of the reaping

(Bella POV)

I woke up to the sun creeping through my window. I rubbed my eyes from the glare remembering what today was. It was the day of the Reaping. A tear slid down my face. I got out of my bed wondering if I will ever see it again though, that thought was crazy. I am in the reaping 20 times today as I just turned 16. There would be thousands of names in the reaping bowl so my chance was unlikely, I told myself. I took my time in the shower washing and brushing my long brown hair trying to make myself as presentable as I can. When I got out of the shower I spent a good twenty minutes picking out a perfect outfit. In the end I settled for my knee high deep blue dress with white piping at the waist of the dress. I put on my white ballet flats on I then put a crystal white bow neatly in my now braided hair. I made my way downstairs to see mama and papa and what was made for breakfast but I was to nervous to eat. "Isabella, you will eat right now, young lady. Everyone eats even on bad days like this." Snaps my mother I turn to look at her and sigh. I look down at the plate of food that she had sat there for me. So the three of us, Papa, Mama and I, sat and ate our food in silence. When I was done I told her that I was going down to meet Edward Cullen, My Edward, and the rest of the clan. Before she could respond I was already out the door grabbing my bike and riding off to the park my friends and I usually go to. Like I thought they were all there waiting for me with big smiles though I could see the fear in their eyes. I jumped off my bike, not bothering to put down the stand, and ran to my Edward's arms. "Bella, Love it will be okay" he said with a kiss. "I know" I responded as I put my arms around his neck. We looked into each other's eyes. He has stunning bright green eyes and silky bronze hair. I ran my fingers through his hair to calm me until someone clears their throat. I blushed 5 different shades of red as all eyes were on us. I took my hands from his hair and he caught one of my hands, holding it like It was his most prized possession. I smiled at the thought turning my head to look at the others. Emmett, of course was the first to talk "Hey, bellsy boo" He boomed I laughed as we walked to our little spot by the river. I sat on Edward's lap playing with his hair and taking in the view. I looked around at all my friends, Rosalie is sitting in Emmett's Lap talking in a hush to each other. Alice was sitting next to Jasper, hands linked laying her head on his shoulder as he played with her hair. "So…." says Alice "So…." I repeat. Edward bends down and kisses the top of my head whispering "It will be ok, love, I won't let anything or anyone hurt you!" "I love you" I replied " As I love you" He answered crashing his lips to mine. We stayed this way till it was time for the reaping. I looked over to Alice and Rose who were shaking and I knew I had to be strong. I lent into Edward as we made our way to the Main Hall where we would separate into age and gender groups. The line slowly move I made it to the front a lady asked for my finger and pricked it making it bleed.I gagged as I hated to look and smell the blood even my own. She then told me to dab it on a small paper square, I then see that the lady is holding a small metal machine over it it beeps twice and then says Isabella Swan. I then make my way over to the female, 16 year olds. I wait about an hour for all the children to be pricked and then we are all waiting for something to happen. I look over to try and find anyone I know and I spot Alice and Rose together so I make my way over there. They hug me and I hold there shaking hands. This is it, I thought, at least I know how to fight, use a sword and how to survive. I was top in my fight class but I don't need to tell anyone that. I have a better chance then my friends so I decided right here

right now that if they get picked I will volunteer. Just as I thought that I heard a clicking on the stage. We all looked up. It was a Capital lady with bright Green hair, Pale white skin head to toe. She wears a Green dress to match her hair and an oversized Pink bow on the side. To top it off show wears 6 Inch Goddamn heels to make her taller than she is.

"Hello, Hello, Hello All...Happy Hunger Games and... May the Odds be Ever in Your Favour" She all but yelled She then showed us a short clip about 'The dark Days' And a few of the previous games and A comment from our President Snow "Well wasn't that Exciting" she Exclaimed. She scoffed when she realised we didn't care. "Well than, as usual ladies first" she said while making her way to a bowl to pick up a slip. "Ok, Do we have a ' Isabella Swan' " she boomed into the mic. Me, She said my name, well I guess I don't have to volunteer. I heard a scream from beside me. I turned to look at alice and rose, I hugged them telling them I loved them and began my way to the stage. I could still hear them screaming in pain while Emmett and Jasper held them whispering things I could not hear. Then I spotted Edward. He had tears down his face screaming out "No" Then he ran up to me and held me in a bone crushing hug, kissing me over and over again before the peace keepers took him back to his place. I had to be brave so I marched up there with a smile on my face keeping my tears at bay. I shook the ladies hand then I stood off to the side with my eyes on edward. His pained expression scarred me but I wasn't about to cry. Edward my Edward how I would miss him. He stared at me while I mouthed the words "I love You" He did the same with new fresh tears running down his face. I wanted to run and wipe all of his tears away but I couldn't as all the people including the Capital were watching. "So..um..Well now for the boys" Said the lady that we are yet to know her name. She went over to the boys bowl pulling out a boys name that would be my other tribute. " So..Edward Cullen" she said and my world came crashing down. There was a scream of pain which I realised was me. I covered my mouth letting my tears fall down my face. Edward my Edward was called. He would come to the hunger games with me. My love was going to die with me, The thought made me cry even more and I could see all our friends crying even the boys. As Edward made his way up to me everything was silent. He came up pulling me into the biggest hug, Kissing me and telling me it would be fine. But would it?

(Edward's POV)

The reaping was today. That's great, just perfect. Bella my love would be going to our spot in just under 2 hours so I forced myself to get up and take a shower. Once I was done I grabbed my Green polo and jeans, I rushed downstairs where food was waiting. Of course Alice my little sister was down there waiting. She was best friends with my girlfriend bella. The term 'Girlfriend' was way too cheesy for me. She felt like she was more then that and she was. She is my life, My true love, My soul mate and I loved her as she loved me. "How are you" whispered Alice "Fine I answered dully As I sat down in My chair. My mum Emse came over and kissed my on the head telling me she loved. I ate quickly want to see my friends, Mostly bella and I am sure Alice wanted to see Jasper who was the brother of Rosalie which was our best friends Emmett's girlfriend. Confusing I know but that's us and we have all been friends since we were 8. After Alice was done I was practically pushing her out the door wanting to see my love. We got there first , Then Rosalie and Jasper. We talked for a while till Emmett came. We began talking about till I heard some riding a bike. Bella. I looked up watching my love come riding to a stop. I opened my arms to her and she came running not evening bothering to put down her stand. "Bella, Love it will be okay" I told her kissing her forehead. She smiles "I know" she said putting her hands around my neck. We looked into each other's eyes. She has stunning chocolate brown eyes and soft brown hair. She ran her fingers through my hair as she said it calms her until someone clears their throat. She blushes 5 different shades of red before she composes herself. She took her hands from my hair and I grabbed her right hand, holding it like It was like it was my most prized possession. I saw her smile so in response I smiled back. "Hey, bellsy boo" Emmett boomed. She laughed as we walked to our little spot by the river. She sat on my lap playing with my hair and taking in the view. We looked around at all my friends, Rosalie is sitting in Emmett's Lap talking in a hush to each other. Alice was sitting next to Jasper, hands linked laying her head on his shoulder as he played with her hair. "So…." says Alice "So…." my bella repeated. I bends down and kisses the top of her head whispering "It will be ok, love, I won't let anything or anyone hurt you!" "I love you" She replied " As I love you" I answered crashing my lips to hers. I don't know how long we stayed like that but soon it was time to go to the reaping. We separated into age and gender groups. The line was so slow. I spotted bella getting pricked so she wasn't looking. She is so beautiful I really don't know why she wants me. When I made it to the front a lady asked for my finger and pricked it making it bleed. She then told me to dab it on a small paper square, I then see that the lady is holding a small metal machine over it it beeps twice and then says Edward Cullen, Cool. I walk over to where all the 16 year old boys were and took my place. As I was 16 I was in the reaping 20 times. All my friends were. I was beside Emmett and Jasper. Then a pale white capital chick walked up to the mic. She wore a green dress with some sort of pink bow to match her..um...hair? "Hello, Hello, Hello All...Happy Hunger Games and... May the Odds be Ever in Your Favour" she exclaimed And I had to roll my eyes at that. After clips about 'The dark days', deaths from previous hunger games and a message from snow our president, it was time for the girl tribute to be chosen. "Ok, Do we have a ' Isabella Swan' " she boomed into the mic. No! No! No! NO! NO! I heard A scream. Alice. She was clinging onto My Bella. I watched her hug alice and rose before turning to stage. No this could not be happening I watch as Jasper and Emmett ran to their loved as mine was walking to the stage. I didn't realise I was crying until I screamed out "NO" and we met each other's eyes. Then I was running pulling her into me never wanting to let her go. I kissed her until the so called 'Peace Keepers' took me back to my friends. I was to shocked to do anything, I couldn't even cry. I watched her march on to the stage shaking the unknown woman then stepping to the side with a fake smile on her face. When she met my eyes she mouthed "I love you" and I did the same before tears blurred my view. "So..um..Well now for the boys" Said the capital lady. We watched her walk to the boy's bowl and pick a slip. " So..Edward Cullen" she said. My friends looked like they were going to break. I then heard a high pitched scream coming from the . I turned and saw bella there with her hand over her mouth, tears staining her cheeks. I walked up to the stage not bothering to shake the ladies hand but into the arms of my love. She looked like she could faint any minute. I kissed her saying it will fine. At least we have each other, For now.
