"Hannah wake up!" My 20year older brother Liam yells, third time this morning. "Or do you want your shower in your bed?" I'm Hannah Thorne, 17years old and I wanna stay in bed for the whole day.
"hmm fine I'm up" I mumble. Today is a big day, I just hope I will be back here tonight with my family. I get out of bed, follow my brother and sit down at the table. We live in district 4, you might think that everything is fine here in 4 but it isn't for my family and the other half of district 4.
My twin sister Emily is reading her favorite book, there is a small smile forming on her lips. I know she's nervous for today. "Grandma is coming, you better be nice Hannah." Liam says. Mags our grandmother is a victor, she comes over sometimes to look how we are doing. Especially on reaping days, she doesn't want us to be in the hunger games. She always sends Finnick to train us a little. You never know. When Mags comes in the little house, Emily runs and gives her a hug. "You have grown to a young woman Em." Mags says and then gives me and Liam a hug.
"You two should make you ready, I have some nice dresses for both" Emily and I go and make ourselves ready. "Han? I don't wanna go. I'm scared." I give my twin a hug "You'll be fine I promise, you will celebrate with Blight tonight." I say and give her a smile. "Hannah is right Emily, you both look beautiful and so much like you mother" she smiles sadly and gives us a hug. My sister has our mother's face but our fathers eyes, she has short brown hair. She is wearing a long purple dress. I have my mother blue eyes and bad vision. My hair is long blonde, it matches my blue dress
2 hours later I stand at the center of town. It's the Quarter Quell this time there will be 4 tributes of 12 districts, that means that there will be 48 tributes in this year's hunger will be 2 young tributes and 2 older. This year there will be 2 victors. Aria, Marie and I are talking about our performance tonight when Emily comes to us. We will dance tonight at the beach if we don't have to go. We do it every 2 weeks at the beach party. Butchard Greenwald walk onto the stage and after we look at a video of the capitol, he walks to a bowl with papers and picks one.
I'm holding Emily and aria's hand. Butchard goes to the center of the stage "The first female tribute will be Amy Haddowel" Aria stiffens next to me, she is Amy's cousin. I squeeze her hand and give her a reassuring smile. Then Butch goes to the boys bowl "The first male tribute will be Logan Lubberman" Amy and Logan go to the stage and shake hands. As they stand there Butch says "Now the older female tribute is Emily Thorne."
I'm dizzy, Emily let's go of my hand and start walking. I hear Emily's boyfriend yelling. This can' t be happening. Marie and Aria try to hug me, but I'm walking after Emily. More like running "I volunteer!" I hear gasps and a peacekeepers puts a hand on my shoulder. "I volunteer as tribute." I say loudly but confident. "Wel then come on sweetheart, come on the stage." Butch says. As I'm walking to the stage Emily comes running and hugs me tightly "Go to Liam" I say to her. I'm on the stage and see people looking hurt and shocked. I recognize most of them. " This is nice, what's your name sweetheart?" "Hannah Thorne" Butch seems shocked as well but then goes over to the boys. " And the older male tribute is Connor Leeght."
no not Connor. He is my dance partner and Emily boyfriends brother. As he walk onto the stage, his face not showing any emotion. We shake hands and I hug him while going of stage. We are led to a room where I'm saying goodbye to my brother and sister. Emily was a mess but I told her that I would try. Aria and Marie also said their goodbye and tell me to try and win.
After 5 minutes we are already in the train. On our way to the capitol. On our way to the hunger games.
