Reaping day.
Once a year every eighteen year old from panem ,after a series of tests ,are matched up and most likly separated from their original districts to marry a total stranger and have three kids. You never talk ,see ,or hear from your family ever agian.
And today my life will change forever.
My name is Katniss Everdeen from district twelve and this year I am eighteen.
My name is called Madge gives my hand a reasuring squeze and I make my way to the stage.
As I reach the stage our escort to our new districts as ordered from the capitol, I am given my new life with out choice.
"Katniss Everdeen of district twelve, you will now be forever known as Katniss Brewer of district two and maried to Cato Brewer of district two."as I am told this my face pales, I'm leaving my home, I'm going to district two to be married to a man I don't even know.
I go off stage and wait with my bags consisting of the only stuff I am aloud to bring to my new home in district two.A purple dress ,two pairs of pants ,three blouses ,Two sets of bra and panties ,two pairs of socks ,a skirt ,my hair brush ,my tooth brush ,
a pair of sneakers, and my carved coal heart with some sort of polish my father had made for me when was born minus what I'm wearing, a blue strapless dress that falls about two inches from my knees my mockingjay pin and my golden ballet flats.
I sat there waiting to see where Madge would go ,I hope she gets to stay in district twelve. But the odds are not in here favor , almost nobody ever gets to stay in there own district.
"Madge Undersee,"I see Madge make her way to the stage shaking like a leaf ",Madge Undersee of district twelve, you will now be forever known as Madge Crift of district two married to Marvel Crift of district two."
I see Madge about to cry as she makes her way to the section of us goin to district two. She looks up and she must have forgotten I was going to district two as well because as soon as she see me her face lights up and she quickens her pace and sits down next to me smiling and she looks like she's about explode of joy.
when the Reapings are finilly over we are escorted on the train and are shipped of to district two

CATO -
I make my way to the stage when my name is called "Cato Brewer of district two ,your wife will be Katniss Everdeen of district twelve and will live in district two."
I make my way down to the seat I was previously sitting in because I wasn't leaving my district which i was excited about, even if it ment being married to a poor district twelve girl. I sat down next to Marvel my best and oldest friend sence we were four,and he elbows me in the ribs and whispers", Ha you got a distict tweleve,"I turn and stick my tounge out at him and turn to face the stage.
It's about another twenty minutes before marvel gets called up and he makes his way to the stage ",Marvel Crift of district two ,your wife will be Madge Undersee of district tweleve and will live in district two."and with that he returned back around and sat down next to me.
Before I even got a chance to make a snide comment to him he turned to me and told me not to' fucking think about it' and I turned to him and smirked at him.I pretty much zoned out the rest of the reaping and when it was over Marvel and I returned to my house for a drink.
"I can't wait to see what my knew wife looks like ,I know she's from district twelve and all but maybe she from the richer part,"Marvel rambles,"Her last name soulds fremilier I think it's from the videos they show of the other districts sometimes" I just let out a 'hmmp' I really don't give a flying fuck right now, "Wait whats their mayor's name agian. Come on stupid brain you had to learn this for school," as he says this I smirk and laugh a little at his inability to remember we had just learned last he was marrying the mayor of poor district twelve's daughter but I wanted to see how long it took him to figure it out.
Three hours later and a half a dozen books later that dumbass Marvel finally figures it out, "Undersee that's his name...Hey Cato guess what I just learned."
"Well I don't know about you but I learned hours ago my best friend is marrying the mayor of district twelve's daugther and that he is a total dumbass." I replied with a smirk as I lean aganst my countered with my arms crossed.
"Oh.."Marvel is oviously disapointed ,he just sits there staring at his hands on my kitchen floor. And that's when I hear it.
A lone train whisle.
Katniss -
I have been on this train for hours and me and Madge just sit there holding each others hand for comfort.
Madge points to somthing out the window and I turn and see district two . With in minutes we are exiting and are husbands are being called forth to collect us and go home.I step for word when my name is called along with my husband Cato .When he steps forward my heart stopped. He was at least six inches taller than me and amazingly musular with blonde hair and icy blue eyes. He was handsome but he was as so really intimidating.
When he reached me he picked up my bag and with his free hand shock I was about to walk toword the direction he came from he grabed my wrist"Hold on." That's all he said.A few minutes later I hear Madge's name called and her husband came and got her and Cato walkes up to them and I fallow we are in front of the couple I run and hug Madge .
"Looks like our wives are already friends Marvel"says Cato seeming some what amused.I just turn and snarle at him."Woah take it easy just stating a fact!"
"Were more than friends," Madge butts in ,"Were more like sisters."
"Oh, okay then ," says Madges husband ,Marvel."Well best be heading home. Being Madge's first day here I figured I should show her around our home."he turns to her and smiles. She quickly detaches her self from and grabs Marvel arms and smiles with a blush as they walk off.I think she likes this arrangment.
And after they left Cato picks my up bridal style in one arm and has my bag in the other and he walks off to a place I can only think to be my knew home..
