Chapter 1: I Volunteer
Hunger and poverty is what he constantly sees around him.
It made him sick thinking about when he went to the capital all those years ago and saw all the rich people eating like pigs and throwing up just to eat some more, while the people here in District 12 will do about anything for just a loaf of bread. It brought back painful memories of his early childhood when he had to live on the street looking for scraps just to make it thought the day.
This is what a blond eighteen year old young man dressed in a button-up shirt wearing black slack and shoes saw as he walk the streets or more like dirt roads. You may be wondering why he was all dress-up well today was the day every family dreads the most, due to the possibility of either losing a daughter a son or in some cases both today is the day of the reaping.
He let out a sigh as he made it to his destination with two officers sitting behind it taking blood samples who were called peace keepers who all were dressed in a full body white suit with matching helmet. There were two long lines one for boys and the other one for girls each ranging from the ages 10-18 all in a straight line while other peace keepers holding guns patrol the area making sure no trouble breaks out. It took him 15min before he made it to the front of the line he gave the officer his hand, so he could give them a blood sample which they scanned before letting him go through. Everyone was standing in a horizontal row formation all staring at the stage with two giant bowls filled with papers filled of names of all the boys and girls in the district. The boys in the left and the girls in the right with a gigantic gate behind it providing shelter for the two who will be called today.
He stand there waiting for what felt like a life time not liking standing still till finally a lady with a ridiculous amount of white powder on her face and an equally ridiculous hairstyle and an even more ridiculous clothing walk to the stage towards the microphone at the center. She taps the microphone testing it till she decided it was acceptable she clears her throat getting ready to talk.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome! Before we begin, we have a very special film for you, brought to you all the way from the Capitol." she said as a short film of the Games played in the background.
'Wonderful my ass they are just using this to cause fear in order to control these people.' thought the blond heatedly.
The film was finishing the women said the last sentence alongside the film as it was the music to her ears. She then proceed to talk "I just love that! The time has come to select one courageous young man and woman for the honor of representing District 12 in the 74th annual Hunger Games!" she said smiling.
"Well let's begin. As always Ladies first." she the proceed to walk to the bowl on the right reach into it and pulled out a folded piece of paper. She walk towards the microphone slowly unfolded the paper ever girl were quiet waiting for who was chosen.
"Primrose Everdeen." she announced.
'Damn it out of everyone one why did it have to be her sister.' cursed the blond.
A small girl at an age of ten slowly walk towards the stage tucking in a loose end of her shirt into her skirt not believing that she was called in her first year of the reaping.
"Prim!" a beautiful young women who looks to be eighteen with gray eyes, pale skin, black hair tied into a braided-bun yelled out trying to reach the scared girl only to be held back by two officer who wore the exact sane white suit helmet combo.
"I volunteer! No! I volunteer!" this caused the police stop holding her back.
'Fuck I know this would happen I have to protect her guess I'm saving some lucky guy's life today.' the blond cursed at the events that just unfolded.
"I volunteer as tribute!" she repeated with no hesitation and a look of determination in her eyes. Primrose ran to her savior and hug her waist crying her eyes out, but was pulled away by a muscular boy who look like a friend of theirs before the peace keeper had a chance to do it only in a more harmful fashion.
"Well, I do believe we have a volunteer." Effie said.
The young women walk onto stage. "District 12's very first volunteer! What is your name?" Effie ask holding the microphone towards the women's lips.
"Katniss...Everdeen" she introduced herself.
"Well! I bet my buttons that was your sister, wasn't it? The powered face women ask.
"Yes." Katniss answer her eyes never leaving the crowed.
"Well people let's moved on to the boys." she repeated her action as before only to the left jar instead of the right.
"Peeta Mellark." she announced a slightly lean, messy blond hair boy shakily began to walk towards the stage.
"I Volunteer." the blond said in a deep powerful voice. All eyes turned to the blond taking in his features he has ocean blue eyes, slightly tan, had zero ounce of baby fat on his face, with a body built that says power yet speed as well, but the most noticeable thing were the three whisker marks on each cheek he has most of the girls in the district started to sport blushes. Peeta gave the blond a thankful and confused look only for the blond to give him an understand look to him before walking on stage.
"O-my two volunteer well come here young man introduced yourself." Effie said.
"My name is Naruto Namikaze." he said.
"Our tributes: Naruto Namikaze and Katniss Everdeen now shake hands you two." Katniss look at Naruto and vice versa before slowly shaking hands."
"Now would anyone like to say goodbye to them." all they got was the whole crowed raising three fingers in the air for the two tributes signifying goodbye.
"Well everyone these two are your tributes for the 74th annual Hunger. May the odds be ever in your favor." as Effie finish the two teenagers were escorted to the now open door in the gate by the peace keepers.
