Disclaimer: Me: "I am the one and only Hunger Games owner, bow before me" Cinna: "No she doesn't" Me: "Do you want to challenge me?" Cinna: "uummmm no, she owns Hunger Games!" Me: "That's what I thought you said" Haymitch: "She doesn't own Hunger Games" Me: "Oh so now YOU want to challenge me?" Haymitch: "Sure" Me: "Okay let me just go get my throwing knives J" Haymitch: "Help me"
Today was the reaping. The reaping where I might be chosen to get killed in a slow and agonizing death. My name is Primrose, I am 15 years old and am going into the reaping for the first time. The Hunger Games is a "game" that selects one boy and one girl from each district between the ages of 15 to 25 years old. The Capital puts the boys and girls in an arena where they fight to the death. 24 go in 1 comes out. I am thinking about this when my sister Katniss comes in from hunting with Gale. "Why aren't you lovely?" I am in my sisters old reaping clothes, and my hair is braided in two sections. "Thank you' I say blushing. My sister Katniss was really the beauty, her hair was a rich dark brown, her skin was tan from being in the woods hunting all the time, she had a tall stature instead of my short one, and she had an amazing singing voice. My sister may only be 2 years older than me, but people could guess that we had a 10 year difference. "Katniss I put a dress out on your bed" Mom said coming in the room. "Got it" Katniss gives me a hug than goes into the bathroom to wash up. Once Katniss goes into the bathroom I start to feel tears at the corners of my eyes. Mom leaves before she sees. I was scared. My name COULD get picked! If my name got picked I would be going into the Hunger Games. That place had the rules kill or be killed. I couldn't kill people. I start balling, but too soon Katniss comes out and runs over to me. "Oh, Prim, listen to me" Katniss holds my head tightly so I would look her in the eye. "Prim, your name is in their once, other names are in their over 20 times. You are not going to get picked, do you understand me?" I nod while she wipes away my tears. " Come on we have a reaping to get to" "Okay" As we walked to the town center I couldn't help, but start to feel that something bad would happen today. I tried not to think about it, but the feeling just wouldn't shake. I see the area where they prick our fingers and I shiver. Katniss sees and gives me a quick hug. "Don't worry it only hurts a little. Now go to the kids you're age" I give her another nod and walk towards the finger prick person. She pricks my finger and on a small machine it shows my name. "Okay go join the other kids sweetie" The woman gives my hand a small squeeze and I walk away with that small comfort. I knew Katniss hated every Capital citizen and anyone in league with the Capital, but I could never get myself to have that opinion. The Capital might have a lot of bad people in it, but they are people to and maybe some people in the Capital are actually really nice and considerate people. I never told my sister about my opinion because I didn't know how she would take it so I kept that in my heart always. Effie Trinket came up on stage in her silly outfit and Capital accent talking about how excited she was about this year's Hunger Games. They played through the Capitals documentary about the Hunger Games which I paid attention to in great detail. "Now for our tributes" Effie Trinket says walking over to one of the big glass bowls. "Ladies first" Effie swoops her sharp talon like claws into the bowl and snatches out a small piece of paper. She reads through it and "Primrose Everdeen" My mind goes into complete and utter shock. I feel the tears coming and try to stop them failing miserably. I slowly make my way to the stage when I hear my sisters screams. "PRIM! NO! I VOLONTERE! I VOLONTERE AS TRIBUTE" No I couldn't let this happen, I just couldn't bear to see my sister in the Hunger Games. "No Katniss, I'm going" "What? No Prim, I can go in for you" No Katniss, I'm going and you're not" "But, Prim-" "No Katniss you have been protecting me my entire life now it's ,my turn to do something" I turn away from her and walk to the stage where Effie starts talking again. "Well I think we have some sibling rivalry here, now on to the boys" She leaves me standing in the middle of the stage to find the boy tribute snatching at the paper once again. "Peeta Mellark" She calls. I faintly recognize the name and then like lightning I remember. The boy who gave my family bread when we were starving! No why did it have to be him? Please anyone volunteer for him, anyone! I didn't want to see him get killed, he was far too kind. I am thinking all this as he walks up to the stage and Effie guides him to right in front of me. "Now you two shake hands" Our eyes connect as our hands shake both sets of eyes showing inner turmoil. "How about some applause for the tributes of district 12" Effie asks, but instead everyone in the crowd puts 3 fingers to their lips and extends them towards us. I was shocked. What did we do to cause this? I was nothing special. I guess everyone knows just how kind of a person Peeta is. After a moment Peacekeepers come and guide us into rooms in the Justice Building where we get to say are final goodbyes. I sit down on a couch that I guessed was velvet. After a moment I get up from the couch and look out the window. I look out the window because it would be one of the last glimpses I ever had of district 12. The door behind me opens and I run and hug Katniss tears now flowing freely. "Prim you need to win okay? You need to win" She tells me. I nod my head, but I knew that I wouldn't kill so instead of just putting my sister into depression I would let her have hope for now. My mom comes next hugging me without a word. My mom no matter how detached was still my mom so this was some of the best comfort I had ever had. I stood there in my mother's embrace until a peacekeeper come and takes them out and while they are shutting the door they are shutting me out of life.
So what did you think? I hope I portrayed the differences between Katniss and her story and Prim and her story. Thank you SO much for taking you're time and reading this. I hope you enjoyed the story and I will try to update quickly-Moonandsunprincess
