Hey Guys! This is my 1st Fanfiction. Its about a brother and sister named Lilly and Cedar who both go into the 81st Hunger Games. Without giving away too much info, the story will have a twist ending. So This is my story. Enjoy!
Lilly's POV-
I wake up to my twin brother, Cedar, shaking me. "What Cedar?" I yell.
"Well, I had to come wake you up. It almost time for the reaping," he replied.
I jump out of bed and look at the clock. It's 11:30 and the reaping begins at noon. I run to my closet and try to decide what to wear.
"Lilly," my brother says, "wear the green dress. It brings out your eyes."
"Thanks, Ced!" I say smiling. I push him out of the room and begin to dress in my green dress. He is right. The silky green ruffled material brings out the green in my eyes. I quickly pull up my long black hair into a fancy bun. I have to look good if I am to report to the Capitol. I look at my reflection in the mirror and smile. I look more beautiful than I could ever imagine.
I run to the kitchen where Cedar is eating a roll. I give him a "look" that says," Hurry up!!" He pulls on a jacket and runs to the town square by my side, still eating a roll.
Cedar's POV –
I run through the square. I hold on to Lilly's hand until the stupid Peacekeepers split us up. The clock in the square strikes twelve and the reaping begins. First the mayor gives the speech. I can almost recite the words before he says them.81 years ago, the districts rebelled against the capitol. They lost and the punishment was the Hunger Games. Now, 23 teens die every year for something they had nothing to do with. "Great," I mumble sarcastically. Next, the district representive, Miss Vivian Williams, says the signature line for all representatives," Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor." She gives a perky little laugh and draws a name. Vivian walks back to microphone and announces the name. I feel tears run down my face as she says, "The female tribute from District 4 is… Lilly Marina Ellis!"
This can't be happening. It had to be a mistake. Lilly only had 7 entries of thousands, maybe millions. But her name had been called and it was done. Lilly was going into the arena. Her face suddenly appears on the screen for the whole district to see. She puts on a small smile and walks to the stage."That's my girl," I think. She'll get sponsers for that. Vivian Williams walks back to the microphone and draws the male name. It is a shocker. "The male tribute will be… Cedar Thedore Ellis."
