Every year all the 12 districts in Panem choose a male and a female tribute in a public reaping. After all 12 districts have chosen their two tributes they are prepared for the games in the tribute parade, the training center and scores, and the interview with the Capitol citizen Lila Lightdust. Except this year it is different, this are the 100th Hunger Games and that means the Quarter Quell, a change in the rules of the games are changed and as Scarlett Rose gets chosen at the reaping with the option of her going into he games or her sister Louisa can take her place and Scarlett decides to save her sister and go to the games herself.
I don't own anything except the names I have made up and anythng else you don't recognize, everything else belongs to Suzanne Collins (author of The Hunger Games). Other than that let's get started with the fanfic. ;)
Chapter 1-
I wake up to the sound of cries I look for my sister and she is barely waking up, she is not the one crying I guess you can kind of feel better about your second reaping than you do about your first reaping. I look out and see a little 12 year-old girl sobbing into her mother's arms. "Let's go have some breakfafst.'' I tell my Louisa my sister, she just nods as she follows me out of our room. When we go downstairs I find my mother sitting alone staring at our breakfast. "Where is father?" I ask even though I always know where he is, the Capitol people always make all the men older than 18 go cut down the oldest trees (which are always the hardest to cut) "Working" my mother says rapidy getting up "Now, eat breakfast, so you can get ready for..." she didn't have to fiinish the sentence the reaping so Louisa and I start eating and before we know it we are at the square with our blue dresses on and signing in, I look at my sister, she looks so young, like a little scared puppy. She is so young, why does the Capitol has to take her chidhood away? Suddenly I see her eys start to get wet, "hey don't worry, they wil not pick you!" I hug her and give her a kiss in her forehead... I am signed in and I hear her say, "Scarlett, wait!" I turn around and see her,
''Good luck." "Thanks good luck to you too" I answer back...she stares at me... "May the odds be ever in your favor!" I mouth to her and she understands this, and smiles.
Celest Onwerich ,the crazy lady with purple hair and pale skin runs to the podium "Happy Hunger Games and May the dds be ever in your favor!Now this ladies and gentlemen, are not just any old regular games, this are the Quarter Quell Games and ths year's quell was 'on the 100th anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overoe the power of the Capitol, all the districts must send 2 female and male tributes, once the tributes are chosen they both have two choices, to go into the games or to chose a family ember from the ages of 12-18 of the same gender to replace them.' ''
Of course, as if anybody would put their brothers or sisters in danger. "Well we shoud get started" I glance at the mentors this year, one good looking woman, Christine Spark, and an old but still strong man John Cursanberger, they are both looking straight ahead. "Ladies first" Celest says as she is walking toward the big 'ladies' bowl. "Scarlett Rose"
I can't believe it.. I have to go into the games... or maybe I don't the quarter quell... wait, what am I thinking i would rather have my sister lve, even if that means I die. I walk up to the stairs and look straight ahead trying not to look at my sister.
