Of course Cato will come a little later on, but for now there is Finnick :D I hope you enjoy it and review ? I just want to make sure that people are actually reading it, and I am not doing it for nobody ! I thought this chapter would be a bit longer, but ehhh it wasn't ! So review.. Enjoy and that is pretty much it !

I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES... Although, I wish I did ! I think we all do. Haha

Ok here it is ...

Falling Hard

Chapter 1

My name is Isabel Scott. I live in District 4, and today is my birthday. People dread this day because it also has the other name. Reaping Day.

I heard knocking on my door. It was probably either my sister or my mother. "Isabel, you have to get dressed for the reaping, mother is already stressed and she doesn't need you to make it worse." That was Adrina, my younger sister. She is twelve years old, and this is her first time going to the Reaping.

I heard her footsteps, indicating she was leaving, but then they turned around. I heard her stop outside my door. "Happy Birthday Bell", she said in a softer tone. I smiled. I finally managed to drag myself out of bed and into the shower. I scrubbed my body and hair very well. After I was done, I went to my room and saw a beautiful emerald green dress laid out. I put the silky dress on. My mother came in dressed in a faded blue dress. She looked tired and sick, but I know she is just worried.

"Isabel, let me do your hair", said my mother in a raspy voice. I nodded and went over to her. She told me to sit down on the chair. Her delicate fingers weaved through my hair braiding it. She was finished sooner than I had wished. "You look beautiful", she paused," and happy birthday, my dear", and with that she left. I wanted to cry but I had to be strong.

I walked down the creaky stairs. I reached the kitchen where my mother and sister patiently waited. I went to the only mirror in our house, which is the kitchen for some reason. I looked stunning, but most importantly, I felt stunning.

"We must go now Isabel," said my mother. I sighed knowing I could never escape the games. I followed my mother and sister out the door of my house, hoping, wishing, I would come back and see it again. We walked down the barren road to get to the reaping.

We reached, and the peacekeeper pricked my finger. I was identified and sent to my age group of fifteen. I looked at my surroundings. I saw my sister. She looked pale. It didn't surprise me. I felt bad for her... I gave her a thumbs up, wanting to cheer her up. She smiled faintly. I looked up onto the stage and so our escort, Sephranina. Ugh, the Capitol look. Purple wig, colorful clothes...

"Welcome, welcome, District 4 to the reaping of those lucky two men and women representing us. Let us now take a look at the Capitol video," she said. I scoffed. Stupid.. I looked up and saw a pair of sea green/blue eyes staring at me with interest. Those eyes belonged to the one and only Finnick Odair.

He looked and looked at me. Finnick Odair. The capitol's playboy, every girl's dream guy, and the Hunger Games victor and mentor.

"Instead of ladies first, let us start with the men", said Sephranina. She went over to the bowl currently holding our District 4boy tribute. She picks one.

"Ian Summer", she said in an annoyingly high pitched voice. A well built boy, maybe sixteen. He held his head high and did not show any fear, well at least if he had any.

"Congratulations, now for the girl tribute to complete our reaping," said Sephranina. Oh god, how scared I was! The moment we have all been wanting to get over with. I took a deep breath. She walked over to the girl's bowl, walking in her ridiculously high heels. She swirled her hand around and picked one. Just like that, picking a life that could die, and I hope it wasn't me.

"Isabel Scott", she said, That was my life. The only one I had. Mine. I took a deep breath. I heard my mom's strangled sobs and my sister's cries. I walked up onto the stage and stood next to Ian.

"Now, now let's shake hands," said Sephranina. "Our District 4 tributes". no one clapped.

I was ushered off stage, and into the Justice Building. I couldn't believe it. I was now fighting for my life. I will never see my family... my friends... again. I am certain.

Ahhh... How did you like it? Well I hope you did! Please review! I know this chapter was very short and maybe boring, but I promise. It will get a lot better and a lot longer ! OK.. so I hope I get some reviews from you guys ! I will update soon.. it all depends. OK bye for now ! Hope to here from you :D
