-PART ONE-

Prim's Story

After waking up from a nightmare I get up and look over at Katniss. I look at how beautiful she looks like when she sleeps. Then remembering my nightmare I walk over to my moms bed and lay down next to her and try to go back to sleep.

When I wake up, my mom is up and out of the room. I get up and notice that Katniss is gone to. Then I think to myself "She's hunting with Gale, she's safe." Then I whisper "She's safe" to remind myself. I walk over to my clothes that are laid out for today and put them on. When I walk into the kitchen and find my mom I remember what day it is, reaping day. I take a deep breathe and try to forget and not worry about it.

While Katniss is gone I help my mom in the kitchen making dinner for tonight. I look over to her, "Are you worried?"

She looks at me, "Why would I worry?"

"Because me and Katniss might be reaped and go into the games"

"No, I don't think that will happen."

"Yeah, I guess your right." I sigh.

She looks at me and smiles "Even if you get picked, I know Katniss will take your place. So don't worry."

"Thats what I'm worried about."

"Katniss can win. She can hunt and I know she is strong enough to win. She's just like your father, if he got reaped he could easily win."

"Okay." I look down.

"Prim, it will be okay."

I walk around waiting for Katniss. Then my mother calls me to get ready so I get in my bath and I wash my self. When I finish my bath I dry off then get dressed. After my mom does my hair Katniss comes in and she walks straight over to me.

"Don't you looks so beautiful!"

I smile and look at her "So are you"

Then my mom says to Katniss " I laid something out for you too."

Then Katniss Gets up and leaves. I look over at my mom and I get up and walk over to her and hug her. "What if I get picked?"

"Remember what I said. Katniss will volunteer I know she will. Even if she doesn't someone else will. Don't worry about being reaped."

"Okay." I sit back down and wait for Katniss to be ready so we can go to the reaping. When she walking In the kitchen my mom does her hair then we go. "Does it hurt?"

"Does what hurt?"

"The finger pricking."

"Not really."

When we get there I walk then stop. When Katniss notices that I stopped she try's to get me to go.

"Prim its okay. You only have one slip. You most likely won't get picked."

Then I start to walk, then when we check in and get our finger pricking I flinch. Then I walk into the 12 years old section and wait for the reaping to start. When Effie Trinket starts talking I get nervous. When they play the video they show every year I pay attention. Because there has to be some use of it if they play it each year. After that the Mayor speaks and I don't listen because I know what comes after that. So after the mayor sits down and Effie comes up bright and bubbly as always I try to calm myself down.

"Laddies first!" She says walking over to the bowl. She grabs a slip then walks back to the microphone. "Primrose Everdeen"

I freeze, then I try to think of what my name is. Because I know that, that can't be me it just can't. Then everyone starts staring at me so I know it was my name. I slowly walk to the stage, when I get to the top of the stage I try to look for Katniss because I know she was going to volunteer for me, was she?

Effie walks over to the boys bowl and pulls out a slip and comes back to the microphone and reads clearly "Peeta Mellark"

I look over and I see Katniss and she fell and now is on her feet and walking towards the stage screaming my name but she is slowly coming because she hit her head and can't walk straight. Peeta comes on stage and Effie makes a point to end it fast. They move us fastly into our rooms for our last good-byes.
