Chapter 1.

Huddled together on the old sofa, the 4 of us sat watching the tape from years ago. There on screen, my brother James slow footsteps echoed through the house. He had made it to the final 3. Though he was not a career, he was sure built like it. James was always there for me, he was like my best friend not just my brother.

FLASHBACK:

"Now for the boys" Angel sung out. She tip toed over to the boys bowl. Please don't let it be James, please, please. "James Green," She called out into the anxious crowd. "NO JAMES!" I screamed out pushing past people to get to him. My parents were so in shock they didnt try to stop me. My face was red and covered in tears as I finally saw him. His face remained emotionless but his eyes were full of fear. I sprinted over to him. wrapping my little arms around him crying into him, "no, no, no." James didn't try to push me off, he just stood there hugging me silent tears escaping his eyes. The peace keepers raced over to us and held me back while the others carried an un-steady james to the stage. They then dragged me back to my family. My dad engulfed me into a hug but i pushed him off. I pushed people to the sides until i made my way to the 16 year olds section and found Annabelle. She had a few tears on her cheeks but that was it. Why wasn't she screaming and crying like me, it was her brother too. I stumbled over to her, tears blocking my sight. She stepped towards me leaning down and picked me up and buried her head into my hair while I rested my head on her shoulder, silent tears streaming down my face.

END OF FLASHBACK

He was tall, strong and had ears like a hawk. So when he heard footsteps, he ran as fast as he could the other direction. Little did he know it was a trap. I could feel my heart sink watching this, 3 years ago or not, it still brought tears to my eyes. I focused back on the tv to find James run right into the district 2 girl, Rose. She threw a net around him before he could comprehend what had happened. She stabbed his leg so he wouldn't die, but couldn't get away, like he had a chance. She grabbed her knife James winced in the pain. Then slowly, she cut off each finger making him suffer. James squeezed his eyes shut letting tears fall. He let out a few more piercing screams before he stopped and I was sure he was dead. Rose must have agreed because she leaned down and kissed his cheek then laughed and stood up kicking dirt into his face. I screamed and ran out of the house. I ran as far as I could, ignoring my name being called through the night. I just running until I couldn't feel my legs and I collapsed, screaming and kicking anything in my way.

I woke up the next morning with cuts and blood covering my body. Looking around, I realized I was in the meadow. I laid back down, letting the sweet smell ingulf me. Oh how I love the meadow. I tore off pieces of grass and rubbed then against my wrist. I sat up suddenly feeling light headed. Remembering last nights events i laid back down crying slowly rocking myself. After a couple hours, I reluctantly dragged myself home. Opening the door, I was immediately wrapped in hugs filled with muffled sobs.
