Chapter 1: Gone With The Wind.
A ray of light brought warmth to the boy's face, awakening him from his deep slumber as he tossed and turn in his mattress. He had adjusted his undergarments before exiting his room for what would seem to be his final day at home, although he was not sure.
The reaping was today, every citizen of panem had to attend this "delighting"ceremony.
Destructive was all it was, it ripped children from their families as well as brothers and sisters.
The boy had lived on his own, at the young age of 18. His mother and father died in the rebellion before the 86th reaping and since then he had no one else in his life except his boyfriend Liam.
Niall followed the path he'd always take to district 6's plaza, hands shakily intertwined with Liam's. Their fear and hatred grew as they made their way past the signup area into the eighteen year old's section. The two boy's names had been entered a total of 7 times this year and made them feel uneasy; they didn't want to lose each other to this phenomenon.
A woman with a fluorescent orange hair and eyes as dark as coal stepped onto the steel stage, her presence quieted the chatter amongst the potential tributes. Her elegant flowing dress looked heavy on her as she took her place behind the microphone.
"Good morning potential tributes! As you may know today is a special day, can anyone guess what today is?"
The crowd was eerily silent, their eyes piercing into the woman's soul.
"Hm.. Okay"her face flushed a deep red. "Today is Reaping day! On this day we choose two potential tributes to participate in the 93rd hunger games, One boy and One girl."She gave the crowd a shaky laugh before continuing.
"Heh, alrighty then! Here are the tributes for district 6. Ladies first!"She eyed the crowd warily. "Ellis Weaver, please make your way to the stage."Ellis walked to up to the stage slowly, her dark hair rumpled and tears rolling down her hot cheeks.
Niall had known this girl from his Music class, she was talented. It was a shame she had been chosen at only 16 years old.
His grip tightened against Liams, he hated everything that was the hunger games. He had learned in school that previous attempts at overthrowing the games were unsuccessful.
"And now, the male tribute for district 6 is!"She pulled a piece of parchment paper from the orb.
"Niall Horan!"
His mouth went dry, he hesitated to move forward. He was pushed forward by the crowd as his hand was torn away from Liam's.
"NIALL!"he screamed over and over as tears welled in his eyes.
Stepping up on that stage had felt like the hardest thing he'd ever done in his life.
He grimaced when the woman put her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry"she said with a worrying look in her eyes.
"Congratulations to the two Tributes for district 6! May the odds be ever in their favor!"
