Chapter 1- District 1 Reaping
"Max! Hey buddy." Alex said, trying to act like he wasn't nervous, this was his last reaping but he had his name in there 128 times. Everyone knew he was going to be reaped. Max wheeled up to him and grabbed his arms.
"Deep breaths." He said, Alex just nodded. Then Molly ran up behind them, her short black hair in pigtails in a green frilly dress. She had tears streaming down her face as she hugged Alex, her chubby little arms thrown around his middle. He was a good foot taller than her so she didn't see the tears begin to stream down his face.
Max took her hand and led her to the pen for girls; he gave her a hug and rolled off with Alex. Amy, the helper for district one grinned at everyone, assuming that as it was a career district everyone would be psyced to be picked. She began to read the capitol speech:
"The Hunger Games are a way to show the 12 remaining districts what happens when the rebel against the capitol and in memory of district 13" she read the rest quickly and then flung her hand into the girls basket, she pulled out a newer looking piece of paper and read off "Molly Adams." A small chubby girl with short black hair in pigtails and a long frilly green dress walked up to the stage. Her face was red and blotchy as she shook hands with Amy. She stood, waiting for some crazy pumped up girl to take her place, but they were all grinning thinking of how the girl would be slaughtered.
Amy cleared her throat and went on; she drew a paper from the boy's basket and gasped.
"Max Adams." She said shakily, she saw a man weeping, and then a boy in a wheel chair tried to go to the stage.
"I VOLUNTEER." A young man said, he walked up, shaking slightly. Amy nodded.
"What's your name?"
"Alexander Hayes." He said. She grinned sheepishly and walked them to the justice building where they were told they had an hour before being transported by train to the capitol.
Molly was standing crying when her father ran in, he tried to sooth her but he was crying too. He handed her a small heart locket, she opened it to see a picture of a younger version of her dad holding a beautiful baby girl and sitting next to her mother while Max grinned broadly at them from next to the best, both his legs working perfectly. She sniffed and threw her arms around him before walking into Alex's room. He stood there hugging Max tightly and Max was crying his thanks. Molly went and hugged him too.
"Thank you for keeping Max safe." She whispered, he nodded. Max handed him a leather bracelet with 'Max' written on it in gold thread.
"Thank you." He said one more time, and then the peacekeepers were there to take them away.
So what do you think so far? I will be posting all of the reapings, but they won't be very long. Then I plan on one person's pov for chariots, and maybe three interveiws before the games start. Please review and I will be keeping track of sponser points, here's how it works.
*Chapter reviews 5 pts
*Submiting arena ideas, mutts, clothes etc 10 pts
*Extra sponser points at the end of chapters will change but they will be there so look for them
