Katniss's POV

Today is reaping day. Peeta and I have to mentor kids... So far no one has made it alive. We should have done the rebellion after the quarter quell. Today is the 88th year of the hunger games. Our daughter Rue Mellark is 12. She's in the reaping bowl, only once, but anything can happen like Prim's reaping. I am brushing Rues long silky brown hair, just like mine. Peeta walks in.

"Hey Kat." He says sweetly.

"Hey" I say sadly.

"I made some breakfast."

"Okay we'll be down soon." I say back.

We have been teaching Rue how to survive just in case she gets reaped. She knows just about everything I know and more about the games. We go downstairs and I am greeted by my beautiful baby boy Finn. He is 9 months old. Peeta is feeding him some applesauce and he spits it out.

We all laugh. "Hi my baby boy! It's not nice to spit." I say to him.

"Mama!" He says. He had learned that just about a month ago.

"Yes it's mama!" I say to him.

We sit down and start eating. I notice Rue isn't eating anything. I glare at Peeta. He looks at me to; we nod, knowing what's wrong.

"Rue, I know you're sad about reaping, but we're sure you won't get picked." Peeta says to her.

"I know but what if I end up like auntie Prim? Who will volunteer for me? She says in return.

"I know but it's a very less likely chance, plus you're very prepared for the games, we know you will win." I say.

"But what if I don't?" No one responds. We go down to the reaping square.

Renee's POV

Today is reaping day. I am so nervous that I tried to forget how many times my name is in that bowl. I am fifteen, you count! Everyone feel bad for Katniss's girl Rue. It's her first time in the reaping so we all know the pain and fear Katniss is having. If rue gets pick I'm pretty sure someone will volunteer for her saving Katniss's pain. We are all sent to the reaping square. I stand next to Rue, who looks nervous, I grab her hand and she squeezes it knowing I am here for her, no matter what happens.

Katniss's POV

Peeta and I are behind the stage waiting to mentor the next kids who will be reaped. I glance over to see Rue holding another girls hand. I think that is her friend. I'm so nervous as I see our old friend Effie Trinket walk onto the stage.

"Welcome to the 88th annual hunger games!" So, let's get started. Ladies first!"

She reaches in the bowl, my heart pounding! I clutch Peeta's hand.

"R..." My heart pounded even harder, I am starting to cry. "Renee Jackson!"

I breathe, almost passing out. Rue is safe for another year. I look up to see the girl. Oh no. Rue is crying, it was the girl comforting her, holding her hand.

The girl walks up on stage. "Our girl tribute for district 12!" Rue holds up the three finger sign. I look at Peeta; this girl must mean a lot to her.

"And now for the boys!" She reaches into the bowl and slowly picks up a slip. "Hayden White!" An older looking boy walks up on stage. He reminds me of Gale.

"And now for you to meet your mentors!" Our cue, we walk on stage with drunken Haymitch, Peeta holding him up.

Renee's POV

I am waiting and then I hear my name. Great. I walk on stage and Rue holds up the three finger sign. No one volunteers. I wait for the boys. I stare at Hayden; I have a HUGE crush on him.

Effie says, "Our boy tribute is Hayden White!" I turn pale. He walks up and I turn to look the other way. "And now for you to meet your mentors!"

Peeta, Katniss, and Haymitch walk on stage, I say hello to Katniss. Effie breaks the silence, "Okay you two, shake hands." We shake hands but I don't give eye contact. We are taken to the justice building where I say goodbye to my family. Rue doesn't come in but I know I will see her because her parents are my mentors.

Hayden and I are on a train going to the capitol. Katniss and Peeta are showing us the other reaping's.

Katniss cries and leaves the room when they announce district 11's reaping. It was her friend Rue's youngest sister. Hayden and I still haven't talked but we just go to bed. Tomorrow is training day. I think I know who I want to be allies with.

Katniss's POV

I can't believe district 11's reaping. Poor Rae. I want her to win and Renee. Peeta and I have to train these kids. Hayden, I found out, is Gale's cousin so I want him to win to. Ugh. What am I going to do?
