The heli-crafts hovering in the air, the wind rushing like ghosts running for their lives, birds flying away, it has been one year since the 24th hunger games, 24 years since the war has ended and district 13 was to the ground, everyone reunited, peace came by, but at a cost, each year the capitol selects random tributes from each district : district 1, luxury for the capitol, and also known to be the favourite district to the capitol. District 2, supplies peacekeepers and weaponry for the capitol, they are a well trained and well fed, just like district 1. District 3 specializes in electronics of many types to provide to the capitol. District 4's industry is fishing, it's surrounded by water. District 5 specializes in power, district 6 on transportation, 7 on lumber, 8 for textiles, they make the peacekeepers clothing, 9 on grain, there is allot of farm land there, 10 specializes on livestock, 11 on agriculture. and finally, district 12 on coal.
Here at district 1 is where Bale is, a lovely district, best of the 12, its schools have training of all kind, even for the hunger games, people willingly want to be in the hungergames here, but Bale didn't like fighting. He's one for jokes, fun, love, but life isn't pleasant to everyone, he wasn't as buff and strong as the other people were in his district, he was thin, 17 years of age, dark haired, and honey eyes.
Today was the day the reaping begins, where people from 12 to 18 years old were selected at random, one male, one female from each district, people were lining up excitedly for the reaping, the field was crowded, parents worried or excited about their children, rich people betting on who would get picked, and if any would win after the reaping finishes, the sun was shining bright as Bale started in his line, they stung him with a weird needle, it took blood from his hand, Bale wanted to cry but he knew better. Hours went by like minutes, it's midday now, everyone have finally finished with their names. On the stadium, there were 3 chairs, one for the mayor of the district, one for the previous winner of this district, and one for the announcer, Trindle, his hair was pink and blue, it looked funky, just like any person from the capitol, people in the capitol have a funky, flashy fashion, lots of colours and make up on everyone, as Trindle approached the podium, people were staring, shouting with excitement, he was explaining the hungergames and the history of Panem, it went on and on for an hour, until it was time for the drawing. " And now, for our tributes!" everyone went silent. " Ladies first," he reached his hand down into the bowl of names and kept shuffling, then picked out a name "Leena Marmen". People started cheering and making way for her, she was well fed, tall, and with a challenging look, she looked 17 of age, she walked with confidence into the stage.
"And now for the boys." Silence came by once again, while she reached out for another name "Bale Tivan!" Bale felt the sweat running down his cheeks, it felt like a nightmare, but only it wasn't. He wanted to scream, to run away, to wake up. He finally reached the stadium. "And those will be our tributes for district 1!" the crowd went in silence as the two tributes walked away.
