Ok so this is my first fanfic so I may make a few mistakes
And I do not own the hunger games even though I wish I did.
And this is set between the first hunger games, the opening of 13 and 13 blowing up.
Chapter 1
Lurel Jadeine POV: District 13: Reaping day
I wish the sun didn't rise today, that the moon had to go away, that it could stay before midnight forever.
This is my third year putting my name in the glass ball and I had no need to apply for a tessence as I'm the youngest and all of my 4 older siblings apply every year. Normally this early in the morning everyone would be going to work at the nuclear labs stationed around the district, but I think today most people wanted to stay in bed. The sky looked dim the same as my attitude. Around 9am I climbed into a dress that belonged to my older sister Briar it fitted fine other than it was too short showing off a lot of leg out in the cold breeze. As 10:00 came closer I got even more nervous than before and I felt sick, really sick. We walked to town square and I looked at my sisters Neve with her long slender legs and bright green eyes and Briar with her curly dark hair framing her face. Then I look at me in the glass of the shops I look pale paler than normal and my eyes look sunken and the normal golden glow is slowly fading and my normal ginger ringlets are dropping with every step I take.
Town hall was crowded with kids aged 12 to 18 us girls go off to the right and my brothers, flux and Ovid go to the left. Everyone quiets down as the man from the capitol with bright green hair walks to the stage and gives the same speech he gives every year. I look to my dad he is in a roped off area with all the other parents bighting there knuckles and weeping saying goodbyes and love you to their sons and daughters, my dad is not like that he was frozen still with fear he doesn't want to lose one of us to the capitol like they did with our mother.
A voice boomed over the loud speaker and I snapped out of my thoughts "I think we should do ladies first hey what do you think" he was gesturing to the crowd hoping for an answer. No reply. But still with a smile on his face he dipped his hand in to the bowl. He held up a piece of paper no one could tell who they all looked the same he opened it and in this thick capitol accent said the nameā¦. Lurel Jadeine. Everyone looked at me the peace keepers started to come forward and I stepped back only to find a wall. 'Oh shit' I thought to myself.
I curled into a little ball on the ground my stomach now hurting bad. The peace keepers pulled me up and commanded that I walk. I did why was no one volunteering it ran though my head 100 times before I snapped out of my find a boy next to me he went to school with me, but we never talked "Cordo?" I whispered but snapped my hands over my mouth I felt so ill, I could feel my breakfast coming up. Geez no capitol man no speech no "so Lurel how does it feel to be 13s female tribute for the 14th annual hunger games" I didn't answer. He nudged the mike closer to my mouth, I had to answer but what was I going to do "come on say something" he said his voice booming around the square "are you trying to make me look bad kid or what" he whispered. It was so overwhelming. I fell to my knees and vomited up my breakfast all over the floor. "That was a first" the man commented on me and chuckled. I closed my eyes and wrapped myself in my arms, stood up slowly vomit dripping down my face all I did was wipe the vomit off and punched the stupid grin of the man's face.
i never got to say goodbye to my family but ebfore i got forced into the train. My sister Neve forced somthing cold into my hand. it just still didn't make sense, nothing made sense
