Probably the most feared day for the whole of District 12, the reaping.

My name is Zoe, known probably because of my brother Luke, one of Katniss Everdeen's classmates. We use it as our advantage though, some people -about only three or four- who are attention seeks often come over to my brother and tell him that they want him to talk to Katniss for them, and give him bread or some sort of food that would last for about a day for the both of us.

I am fourteen years old, turning fifteen in a few days.

My birthday wish ever since Luke and I were eligible to join the Hunger Games, was that we don't get picked.

"LUKE!"I yelled really loudly, waking up from my terrible nightmare, bawling my eyes out.

I dreamed that the both of us were chosen, and it resulted in me having to murder Luke by tricking him with Nightlock berries. That was horrifying.

Zoe. Zoe, relax."Luke told me, coming over and hugging me comfortingly, as I cried into his chest.

We actually had an older sister, Rosa.

I looked exactly like her, Strawberry blonde hair, grey eyes and olive skin, we probably look like little versions of our mother. She was a beautiful lady.

Rosa died when she was eighteen, two years ago, exactly, when she didn't make it through the Hunger Games, and I still have had terrible nightmares ever since I watched one of the guys stab Rosa on the heart with his knife after a whole week of surviving in the Hunger Games.

"Zoe. I'm pretty sure you aren't going to get picked."Luke told me, looking me straight in the eye and wiping my tears with his thumb.

"P…Pro…Promise?"I sniffled.

"I promise, Zoe."Luke smiled at me, which also brought a smile to my face.

"Now, there's that smile. You can go back to sleep. I'll be out, alright?"

I nodded, as Luke left my room, leaving me with my thoughts, before I fell back asleep, thinking about mum, Rosa, Luke and the reaping.

Hey guys! I re-did the chapters again, because the previous version of the story is pretty weird. So, the part I changed is basically that she is a guy named Luke's little sister, instead of her being a Hawthorne. Also, this story happens in the 77th Hunger Games, but District 12 still stands, and Thread is the head peacekeeper. The plot-line will still be the same, though.

Thanks for Reading!
