Chapter 1:

"Our Tributes for the annual 76th Hunger games." "HUH, HUH, HUH" Katniss breathed heavily as Effie slowly pulled a name out of the big glass jar. "Katniss Everdeen" Everyone went quiet. "I was the only name in the jar…" Katniss thought to herself" Katniss looked at Prim quickly and then looked at her Mother thinking "i might never see them again" But as the guards from the capital came and took Katniss and Peeta into the train, she looked at Gale trying to hold Prim back. Her Mother kissing the three fingers of respect knowing that Katniss will be alright. The guards pushed and shoved their way through the crowd and came and took Prim, Gale, and Katniss's mother. Katniss started flailing and crying out "NO DON'T KILL THEM! THEY WERE INNOCENT!" The guards looked at Katniss. "they were innocent" the guards dropped them on the stage letting them go free. "why do we have to live like this?" she yelled. She pulled her arms out of the guards hands and tripped up to the microphone. "Why do we have to live like this? Just for the Capital's entertainment they have to pick tributes from every district and watch them kill each other? That shouldn't be out entertainment." Katniss looked at the shocked crowd. "we need to find another way to entertain ourselves. Everyone knows what theater and music is right? Why not entertain ourselves with that?" Everyone's faces were in shock. "And if they kill me? That will be there loss" Katniss walked slowly back to the train as she heard some sort of sound in the crowd. She turned around.
