Prim, mother, and I all sit in anticipation waiting for the reading of the card. President Snow coms out with the venomous glare as always and grabs the card, he reads it in his head then looks up and says, the names shall only be put in the reaping bowl if related to a living victor. I can't think of anyone except of Prim, mom, Gale, Posy, Vic, and Mrs. Hawthorne. They are all my family and "cousins". I run over to my fiancés house and knock. His mom says he went to see Haymitch, with a glare in her eyes that I am guessing is meant for me. I walk over to Haymitch's house and open the door not bothering to knock. Haymitch jumps in surprise, then gets up gathering that I am upset and hugs me then sits back down. I sit beside Peeta and say what we all are probably thinking about, what are we going to do? Peeta wraps his arms around me and says maybe we can get the fighters to go in, or ones with useful skills. I think "Prim can heal, Peeta's mom can bake, his dad is strong, Gale can hunt, and mom can heal too, but the only warriors and ones that will most likely have a chance of coming out is Gale, Peeta's mom or dad, and Prim." Then Haymitch says get one from both families that way the loss isn't too big. No I finally say, we will let it happen, and then mentor them good. Okay they both say. That night I go home and change then jump in the shower. Time Skip It is reaping day and Peeta, Haymitch, and I all stand side by side looking over the small group that is district 12. I look at our families that are in a roped section away from all the others. Effie comes out, with bright hair and clothes, looks at the crowd just not as happy as last year. Welcome let's get started shall we, okay women first. She walks to the bowl with a look of dread it could be Prim, mom, Posy, Mrs. Hawthorne or Peeta's mom. She sticks her slowly in the bowl and pulls out a small slip. I look up at Peeta with tears in my eyes. This year's female tribute is Posy Hawthorne. All the sudden before I can look at Gale I hear I volunteers as tribute. Not that voice that I know so well it cannot be her please don't except volunteers. Well than come on up dear. What is your name sweetie, Effie says. Primrose Everdeen I hear. I am numb I cannot feel anything all I know is that Peeta pulls me into a hug and that I am crying very hard, I look at mom with tears in her eyes, at Effie with empathy and tears in her eyes, then I look at Prim who is standing up tall, with a bun, 13 years of age, already a solider. It shouldn't have happened to her, to none of us we all are just kids. We were all just kids. Clove, Cato, Glimmer, Marvel, Rue, and Thresh. All too gentle and too soft but had to be made into soldier's way too soon. Now than Effie says time for the men, this year tribute is Vic Hawthorne. In a flash I hear I volunteer and just like that I may lose 2 people I love. Come on up her son, she says your name is. And I hear Gale Hawthorne and I know that my heart has been walked on by 500 peacekeepers. Peeta holds me tighter and with both arms this time. Well than I hear Effie say the tributes of district 12 for the 75th year. Mentors get to say goodbye so we go to the trains. I go straight to my and Peeta's room and lay down crying myself to sleep. I wake to Peeta gently shaking me awake for dinner than the opening ceremonies. I braid my hair then walk down and take a seat next to Prim and Peeta. Okay Haymitch says after 10 minutes of silence and waiting. I think Peeta will give camo skills and lifting tips. Katniss will give hunting and edible food skills. I will give pointers on getting sponsors. I hear Haymitch say. Okay I say my voice strained, let's start tomorrow, I say. After dinner we go and help the tributes get to the stylist and then Peeta and I go down to the chariots and I pet the horses. I am interrupted by Johanna Mason district 7 victor wanting to ask me about the dress I am supposed to be wearing to the wedding. I tell her about it and she says well I hope we will have a great time because all the victors and important capitol people have to go. Then she leaves and I head over to where Peeta is talking to Finnick Odair district 4 victor. We talk about our games and then the tributes come down and we head to different chariots. Prim and Gale look amazing. Prim is wearing a floor length black dress and a crown, Gale is wearing a jumpsuit of the same style but instead of a crown he has a band around his wrist. Prim tells me that Cinna said that when he presses a button there will be flame on it like the are a fire reflecting against a black wall. I say awesome and help them into the chariot and tell them to smile and wave. Then I instruct Gale to wrap his arm around her so he seems protective over her. Then they are off, then me and Peeta walk and stand beside Mags district 4 victor and Annie Cresta also district 4 victor. When they get back we all head to our rooms and fall asleep right away. When I wake up Peeta is asleep, so I slide out very softly and get in the shower. Then I get dressed leaving my hair down. When I walk out I see Cinna and run to meet him grabbing him in a hug. I am so sorry Katniss but in 3 days it is your big day. Your wedding day and I wanted to try makeup and hair tomorrow, then throw the whole thing together the day of the wedding. Porta is here to work with Peeta on tuxes and hair. So until after Haymitch will be working with the tributes. Okay I respond just then Peeta comes out, with Haymitch and Cinna tells them the plan. They both agree that it is a pretty good plan and then we eat breakfast. Prim and Gale head off and train, Peeta and Porta off to do hair and tuxes, and me and Cinna off to do makeup and hair. What a joy. We are also going to try on the dress to make sure it fits and other things too.
