"Today we draw for the Hunger games 4th quarter quell." The crowd roared in anticipation as he pulled the note out of its letter. The New head of the hunger games cleared his throat as he began to read out loud.

"In order to show that the Capital shows mercy to some and only hurts those who deserve it. I am pleased to say that this year, 3 contestants will be sent into the arena from each district. The tributes gender does not matter. However the tributes must either be 12, 15 or 17 years old. This year there will be no cornucopia. The items you start with depend on your rating. We believe it is best if you do not know what will give you good items, high or low, it could even be in the middle. We look forward to the reaping. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor."

District XII

Daniel and Caitlyn were talking as if everything was ok, even though they knew it wasn't. Daniel looked concerned as the reaping drew nearer and nearer. The tributes were being selected in only a few minutes and an uneasy tenision was settling over the crowd. Caitlyn knew that Daniel had absolutely no tessera in his life. Caitlyn had to take an extra two tessera each year. The odds were not in her favour compared to daniel, they were slim compared to every one else but she knew that some one had to be picked, actualy... three people had to be picked. "So, do you know whats happening at school tommorow?" Daniel looked over at Caitlyn and rolled his eyes.

"And the first tribute is!" the croud went silent as the man stopped for suspence.

"Daniel Perish!" the croud remained silent except for Daniel. "What... WHAT!" Daniel screamed as loud as he could. "Some one, any one! Tell me i heard wrong, SOME BODY VOLENTEER!" Daniel broke down in tears as Caitlyn helped him walk to the stage. "Its alright, everything will be fine."

"No it wont, i'm going to die." Daniel had already given up on himself.

"Promise me you will win."

"Alright... I promise." he conceeded.

"And the next tribute is... Caitlyn Dare!" Caitlyn stopped walking and almost strangled Daniel in the process. Caitlyn then continued walking with Daniel to the top, but now both of them had tears rolling down their eyes. "I can't beleive your going to die Daniel." Daniel glared at Caitlyn then they both started laughing as loud as they could.

Caitlyn and Daniel knew that she had nearly no hope of surviving the games. "Hey Daniel, if were gonna get smashed in the arena wanna at least do somthing totaly stupid before we leave?" Daniel thought about this for a few seconds.

"I got an idea, watch this." Daniel walked over to the edge of the stage and punched the air repetedly as he began to yell "Do or die, they'll never break me. They can try but i will not back down, because this is who i am, this is who we are!" The crowed cheered as David grabbed Caitlyns hand and jumped into the croud. Minutes of being carried by the audiance ended when the anouncer began to speak. "And the next tribute is..." The announcer dipped his hand in and pulled another name from the clear ball with the names in it. Caitlyn and David walked back up to the stage and looked at the clear ball with the names of the children in it. Caitlyn felt her blood run cold for two diferent reasons. The first reason was that the peice of paper was diferent coloured then all the others. This person was chosen by the capital to die. The second scary thing was the name on the paper.

"Sarah Dare."

Caitlyn stared in horror as her tweleve year old sister walked onto the stage and stood next to her.

Nothing was said by anyone for few minutes. Two sisters had never been in a hunger games together. Daniel saw the chance and whipped his brown hair back and looked into the camera with big blue puppy dog eyes, The crowed went wild and began booing the capital. Caitlyn scratched her face a few times to make herself look more inocent and then also faced the camera as she swished her head back and forth to make her long golden blonde hair sway from side to side. The crowed cheered as Caitlyn smiled majesticly at the camera. Finaly Caitlyns sister, Sarah looked at the camera with tears pouring down her face. The crowed seemed almost at breaking point with these tributes. Every one seemed to love Daniel, Sarah and Caitlyn. And they were going to use it to their advantage. "Hey Daniel, wanna do the star crossed lover angle to make every one like us even more?" Daniel leaned over and wispered to Caitlyn. "meh, ill love you, you can do somthing else."

Caitlyn thought to herself. The capital had specificaly chosen, me, my sister and my best friend to all be killed. life sucks
