Chapter 1
Katniss' P.O.V
it's that dreaded time of year again: reaping day. No one wants o get chosen to go into the hunger games, but two people will. Every year I pray and hope that Gale and myself don't get chosen, my sister Prim is now added to the list. I'm all ready and I'm now helping Prim get ready by braiding her hair and helping her with her dress.
Prim's P.O.V
I'm really nervous that I'm going to be selected in the hunger games. Katniss has reassured me that since my name is only in there once and other people have their names in there a hundred times that I have almost no chance of getting chosen. Katnass is braiding my hair and she has picked out a light blue dress for me with matching ribbons.
Charlotte Everdeen's P.O.V
I know that the girls are nervous, and I'm probably just as nervous as them! I've already lost my husband and I don't want to lose one of my daughters too. Katniss has been a huge help and so has Prim. I know that Katniss has the skills to survive, but Prim is far too young to even have a chance. Lets just hope that my children don't get selected, but I also feel sorry for any parents who have to allow their child to experience this horrible thing.
Katniss' P.O.V
Prim and I are standing in line to check in at the reaping and Prim is back into freak out mode, scared that she's going to be selected. 'It's ok Prim,' I soothed, 'I have a better chance of getting selected than you do. Calm down, it's going to be ok!'
Prim's P.O.V
I know Katniss is telling me that it's going to be ok and that I'll be safe at home and everything, but what if I do get selected? I definitely won't be fine then! Effie Trinket has appeared on the stage and everyone has gone silent so she can began talking. Katniss is squeezing my hand and looking at me with a smile that says 'it will be ok, I promise.'
Katniss' P.O.V
I know Prim does have a chance of being selected, but I tell her she doesn't so she doesn't worry. I love Prim and I don't want anything to happen to her. Effie has began talking. 'The twelve districts have to participate in the hunger games each and every year to remind me of what the Capitol can do.' She started, 'it is our way to prevent you from stepping out of line because we care.' I zone out around this part every year and I know that she's lying, those Capitol people obviously don't care, they just want to watch kids kill each other! 'Now comes the part you've all been waiting for; we will pick the tributes for the 74th hunger games. Now, before we start drawing names are there any volunteers?' Effie asked. I honestly don't know why she even bothers asking anymore, no one has ever volunteered from district twelve. 'The female tribute for district twelve is ... Primrose Everdeen!' She announced
