This is a BajanCanadian, ASFJerome, MrWoofless, TBNRFrags fanfic) not too much explicit content maybe just for people 14 and up.

I'm just a normal boy out of a small broken down district (district 8) and over the past 76 hunger games my district has only won 12 and for many years after I turned 17 I was determined to bring home another victory for my district even if I had to volunteer for it. I was out hunting for my families meat shop and I was happy with my bow skills after I killed 2 deer and 4 rabbits. While I was hunting down a small bird I heard a loud screech and I thought, it must be for the reaping. I heard such a loud commotion as I was rushing through the lush forest with trees and flowers everywhere. I wasn't sure who was also going to go from my district but I really didn't care. I wasn't friends with anyone here, I only care for my family mainly to take care of my five year old brother who has been recently diagnosed with some lung disease (that has a really long and scientific name that I can't remember). The only cure is at the Capitol and the price is way beyond what my parents could make.

The year before my brother, Jack, went to the hunger games for the same reason but he was killed during deathmatch. I was watching the video... He was not where that boy shot that arrow. I stood watching the whole speech and I saw the giant fishbowl with all the names in it but that didn't matter for the boys. The girls bowl was slightly more empty. I guess not many girls met the age limit. When the oddly dressed girl picked a guys name she said the name Teddy Jackson. I sighed and knew when it was my time to step in. Teddy's family was all crowded around him hugging him and crying, I stopped looking for a second just in time to yell "I volunteer. I'll take Ted's place". I knew my family wasn't shocked because the same happened with Jack. My dad just nodded and said "this time buddy" and my mom said "Just be careful sweetie". All I could do was say "Ill do my best" but when I saw a hole being pushed through the crowd I couldn't help but to cry when my little brother, Hunter, came barreling through the crowd and when he jumped into my arms crying and screaming "you will come back right?!" he said "you have to!" I just whispered "of course I will I promise".
