I woke up and saw my sister, Alice, sleeping with my mother. I totally understand her, today was reaping day. She was scared she mght get picked for the 'Hunger games'. In case you dont know, in the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlaying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one girl and one boy between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. My name is Ariel Triton, im sixteen years old so of course, this isnt my first reaping. I have red fiery hair and blue eyes like the ocean. I saw Alice sleeping so close to my mom, their cheeks were pressing against each other. Sitting on Alice was her cat, Cheshire, hes the ugliest cat ever. Hes an Obese purple cat, pink stripes, and yellow eyeballs. It doesnt even like me. I dont like him either, but he was everything for Alice. I think he still remembers wen i tried to drown him the day Alice brought him home. It hisses at me everytime time i pass by or when he looks at me. I would kill him, but that would break Alice heart, and i dont want that.
I stood up from my bed and put in my hunting boots, a supple leathe molded to my feet, I pull on trousers, a shirt, tuck my long red hair braid up into a cap, and grab my forage bag. Before i got out of the door i saw the cheese Alice gave me as a gift on reaping day. She made it with the milk of her goat. I took the cheese, put it in my bag as i got out. I live in district 12, my home nickname is seam. A lot of people are poor here, starving, even my mom, Alice, and I. I have to hunting to sell what i get and feed my family. Where i live is close to the edge of Seam, i have to cross gates to get to the security fence. It seperates the Meadow from the woods, in fact enclosing all of District 12, is a high chain-link fence topped with barbed-wire loops. In theory, it's supposed to be electrified twenty-four hours a day as a deterrent to the predators that live in the woods, since we dont get much electricity in the evening, its safe to cross in the mornings. I went through the fence and went straight to the woods. I was looking for my secret hiding place where i put my bow and arrows. As soos as i found my hiding spot a i took out my stuff. I was searching for something to hunt and i found it. A deer. If i really get him i can sell it and win some money. I was aiming and inhaling, focusing in not getting distracted.
It mustve heard me because it ran away, but the i founded a squirrel. At least its something useful that i mostly sell. I aimed and shoot, i got him. I ran to it, and i saw i hit him in the eye, like always. Im really good wth my bow and arrows, especially at aiming. I saw my friend, Eric approaching to me.
"Hi Ariel" Eric says. "Look what I shot," Eric holds up a loaf of bread with an arrow stuck in it, and I laugh. It's real bakery bread, not the flat, real food. I take it in my hands, pull out the arrow, and hold the puncture in the crust to my nose, inhaling the fragrance.
"Its still warm just the way i like it," I say. He must have been at the bakery at the crack of dawn to trade for it. "What did it cost you?" i asked. Food here either is traded or sold. So i had to ask.
"Just a squirrel. Think the old man was being friendly," says Eric. " He even wished me luck." Eric is my best friend, more like a brother. I take care of my mom and sister, feeding them and helping my mom. He cut the slice of bread in hakf with his knife a d gave me half. I pulled out the cheese that Alice gave me and shared with Eric and we both were eating the cheese and bread. We sat down in the grass and looked at they view in front of us, the woods and mountains. Eric was making a serious face, every year in reaping day is the same. Were scared, nervous, and we have nowhere to go.
I was eating my bread before Eric said quietly "We could do it, you know,"
"What?" i ask He looked at me with a serious face.
"Leave the district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I, we could make it," says Eric.I don't know how to respond. The idea sounds impossible to accomplish."If we didn't have so many kids," he adds quickly. Eric has two little brothers and i have a sister. If we run away we would have to take them, including our moms. I dont think we could make it, we would starve even more. Besides, they will know we ran away and search for us.
"I never want to have kids," I say.
"I might. If I didn't live here," says Eric.
"But you do," I say, irritated.
"Forget it," he snaps back. This conversation turned awkward we just stayed there completely silence. I dont want to argue with him, hes the only friend i got. Reaping is at two, but im stll scared. I wish this place was different, and by that i mean no Hunger Games. It will be so happy here without them, but in the capitol they just watch the games for fun. We head back to get prepared for reaping, but before i got home i went to the market that operates in an abandoned warehouse that once held coal. I saw and old woman, she was selling bowls for soup. I observed what she has and something got my attention. I hold it and felt it with my fingers, it was a mocking jay pin.
"How much?"I ask the women. She just smiled.
"Take it, its yours" The old woman said.
"Thank you" i said softly. I got home and went straight to the room and in my bed i saw what i least wanted to see, my reaping clothes. I took a quick bath and out my dress on. My mother made me a braid and wrapped it around in a bun. I couldnt recognize myself, i felt like a different person.
"You look beautiful, Ariel," says Alice in a hushed voice.
"And nothing like myself," I say. I hug her, because I know these next few hours will be terrible for her. Her first reaping. She was afraid that the unthinkable might happen.
I protect Alice in every way I can, but i cant do anythin against the reaping. I notice her blouse has pulled out of her skirt in the back again and force myself to stay calm. "Tuck your tail in, little duck," I say, smoothing the blouse back in place.
Alice giggles and gives me a small "Quack."
"Quack yourself," I say with a light laugh. The kind only Alice can draw out of me. "Come on, let's eat," I say and plant a quick kiss on the top of her head. I tried my best to calm her down. Alice is too young, and she cant get picked on her first reaping.
We walked to the reaping place and we were nervous. Our mother came with us she was beside us all the time. Until we got close to signing in, a peacekeeper told our mo she had to go with the rest of the adults, and of course she did as she was told. Peacekeepers are like guards of the capitol, every one of them are born in the capitol. As we got close Alice started to panick, i tried to calm her down.
"Alice listen to me, they going to take a blood sample and send you with the small kids" I told her.
"You never said tey were gonna take blood from me" Alice sobbed.
"Just a little, doesnt hurt much. Go with the little kids after youre done and ill meet you when this is all over." I said. She obeyed and went ahead of me, i couldnt see her no more. As son as they took my blood sample and searched for her, i wanted to make sure she was ok. Then we all gathered up in two piles seperatly. The girls and boys were seperated. I saw Eric and he mouthed "Its ok" and i nodded. A woman then appeared in front of the huge screen that was in front. Her name was Madame Gothel she represented the competetors on district 12. She had pale skin, shiny curly black hair, gray eyes, crimson dress with gold trimming and a square-cut neckline that shows her breast cleavage, red belt with a gold buckle, spiky gold-colored earrings. She then tested the microphone and started speaking.
"Welcome, Welcome. Happy 74th hunger games!" She said. "And may the odds be ever on your favor" She looked a little scary, but she worked for the capitol so i cant argue with her. "As usual, ladies first" She then went to the right on my point of view and checked the bowl of glass. She was choosing a card and picked it up. My heart started racing fast. She was opened the card and spoke again through the microphone. I thought she was going to say my name, but it wasnt.
"Alice Triton"
