A/N: Hello! Thanks for checking out my story! :) This is actually based on the first story I ever published. I posted the original on here back in 2013, but I've since edited all of the chapters that are posted and I'm in the process of editing the rest of the chapters. Enjoy! :)

District One

Silver Jewel, 18

Gold Stone, 18

Silver Jewel's POV

I yawn and stretch my arms before relaxing again, slowly waking up. It's Saturday, so I don't have anywhere to go- except the reaping! I remember. "Gold, wake up! It's Reaping Day!" I exclaim, waking up my fiance. He gets up immediately and starts looking for his reaping clothes, which will probably take awhile because he is really disorganized. I take my reaping outfit to the bathroom and get ready.

About a half hour later, I am dressed. I go to the kitchen and pour some cereal, glancing at the clock. It's only 7:30 and the reaping isn't until 8:00. The doorbell rings and I get up to answer it, but Gold stops me.

"I'll get it!" he says quickly. When he answers the door, I hear him talking in a hushed voice with whoever is at the door. He sounds worried, but I can't make out what he is saying.

A few minutes later, he returns to the kitchen. "Who was at the door?" I ask.

"My sister, Prada. She came to wish me good luck at the reaping." he says, avoiding eye contact. I know he is lying, but I change the subject, knowing I'll get nowhere. He has been acting very distant lately. Maybe I'll try to talk to him about it after the reaping.

Gold Stone's POV

(1 month ago)

I answer the phone after the fourth time it rings.

"Hello?"

"Hi Honey."

"Hi Mom."

"I have something important that I need to talk to you about." she tells me. "Okay."

"So, you know how Silver's father doesn't approve of you dating her?" "Yeah."

"And how he is now the head peacekeeper and has a lot of power in the district?"

"Yes."

"Well, he made a new rule that in every district the mayor, peacekeepers, and of course, President Snow and the gamemakers, can select tributes to go into the Hunger Games if they see fit."

"Let me guess, he is planning on selecting me for the Hunger Games?" I ask.

"Yes, that is what he told me."

"So? I was thinking of volunteering anyway."

"I have no doubts that you could win, but could you kill Silver?"

"What?"

"He is planning on selecting you and Silver for the Hunger Games."

"What should I do?" "I know you really don't want to, but Head Peacekeeper Jewel said that he wouldn't select either of you if you broke up."

"No! I can't do that!"

"I know Honey, but it would be better than being forced to kill her, wouldn't it?"

-Pause-

"Is Silver home?"

"No, she is at the training center." I lie.

"Okay, when do you think she will be home? I would like to talk to her." "No, it's okay. I'll tell her."

"Okay Honey. I love you. Bye."

"Love you too. Bye."

"Gold, wake up! It's Reaping Day!" I wake up to Silver yelling. I stretch and get out of bed. I start rummaging through my closet for my reaping clothes. I get dressed and go to the kitchen to get breakfast. Fifteen minutes later, Silver comes in and sits down to eat, when the doorbell rings. She jumps up to answer it, but I stop her, since it might be one of my parents or my sister.

"I'll get it!" "Okay then." Silver says, looking at me suspiciously. I know she is starting to suspect something, but I can't tell her.

I answer the door to find my sister, Prada. "I just came to say good luck at the reaping and possibly in the Hunger Games! Mom told me you were thinking about volunteering."

"Yeah, good luck to you too." I say absentmindedly.

"I know it was hard, but you made the right decision breaking up with Silver. I'm sure she understands."

"Yeah, she understood." I lie.

"You didn't break up with her, did you?"

"How did you know?" I ask.

She shrugs. "You never make eye contact when you lie. Well, in that case, good luck. You'll really need it."

I return to the kitchen, hoping Silver didn't overhear anything we said. "Who was at the door?" she asks.

"My sister, Prada. She came to wish me good luck at the reaping." I tell her.

Head Peacekeeper Jewel's POV

I sit in my seat next to the stage, anticipating the escort, Acacia Love reading the names for the reaping. That is when Silver and Gold will be selected. I warned them. I warned Silver when she refused to date the Victors I set her up with. I warned Gold the first time I met him. I warned Silver when she first started dating Gold. I warned Gold's mother a month before the reaping. I warned Silver and Gold many times while they were dating and after they got engaged, but they didn't take me seriously. I'll show them!

Acacia Love finally finishes her speech and the video about the history of Panem. "Are you all aware of the new rule regarding the Hunger Games?" she asks. Some people say yes, but many people look confused. "Well, Head Peacekeeper Jewel suggested to our Head Gamemaker, Aquamarine Fizzleberry that President Snow, Head Gamemaker Fizzleberry and her crew of awesome gamemakers, and the mayors and peacekeepers of each district will get to select tributes to go into the Hunger Games each year if they see fit! I think it is a fabulous idea! Thank you, Head Peacekeeper Jewel!"

"Now, we have two requests for selections from Head Peacekeeper Jewel himself!" she takes a piece of paper out of her pocket. "Silver Jewel and Gold Stone!"

Silver looks shocked as she walks to the stage. I guess no one told her about my plan. Gold looks angry as he walks to the stage stiffly, but not surprised. I wonder why he didn't tell Silver. Won't Silver be angry when she finds out that he knew, but he didn't tell her? Maybe I'll tell her when I say goodbye.

"Now, we will have our District One team shake hands!" Silver smirks at me, then grabs Gold and kisses him passionately. I can't believe her! If she wins, the first thing I'll do is kill her! Or maybe I'll marry her off to a Capitol citizen.

"Oooohhh! Do we have a pair of starcrossed lovers?" Acacia squeals. Silver and Gold glare at her. "Oh, look at the time! We better go to the train now or we'll be late!" Acacia says, ushering them to the train.

I thought it would be fun to add a question for each chapter!
