Katniss P.o.v
I wake up and I hear screaming.I know this is my little sister Primrose or as we call her Prim.I know she is having a nightmare. You may think this is normal,and yes it is,but for Prim it isn't you see Prim only has nightmares on one day .The day that everyone from districts 1-12 have grown to hate and it's that day. Today is reaping day.
Reaping day is when the male and female tributes from each district get picked. How that happens is well...Effie Trinket picks one name out of the female jar and one name out of the male jar and bam their's your two tributes from each of the 12 districts ,after that the two unlucky tributes from each districts are taken to the Capital to train to right and learn how to use there surviving skills and get ready to kill people,because after that they are put to the task and are put in The Hunger Games and this year marks the 74th one that no one is excited for .
Your probably wondering who I am now and what I think about my name is Katniss Everdeen and I live in a small house with my mother and father died in an mining accident when I was 11 .That's what district 12 does they mine.I'm 16 years old by the way and my sister Prime is 12 which means this is her first year to be entered in for a chance to be a tribute.I think its stupid children and teenagers die for people to have entertainment it's from ages 12-18. Do you know 23 people die in this stupid game every year and only one wins.
You want to know how you get entered in this stupid you see District 12 consists of four different areas: the Seam, the merchant section, the Victors' Village, and the Hob.
My best friend Gale and I live in the Seam unfortunately as it is the poorest area In District 12.
Well anyway as I was saying about how you get you automatically entered once ,but If your family is struggling for food, they can have their name added extra times to the reaping once only per family member, in exchange for an equal number of tesserae. Once a child of ages 12-18 has claimed tesserae, they can collect oil and grain rations once every month for a year.
I have claimed 3 tesserae every year since my father died. One for my mother,one for my sister,and one for me which means my name has been entered 22 times.7 for each tesserae and one normal one enterie.
In the woods...
I go to the place were not allowed to I go there to hunt and later trade for I'm standing there I see a deer.I haven't seen a deer in a few years well since my father died.(Five years ago he died).I take out my bows my father had made for me to use when I was before I could shoot an arrow. I see my best friend Gale come and scare the deer away.
"Gale that was the first deer I've seen in years"I say mad
"Hello to you to Catnip"He says
"So you hunting to"I say calming down
"No I've come to see you"He says
"So how many times were you entered into this stupid games"I say
"42 times"He says
"What about you"He says
"22 times"I say
"Catnip do you think the games will ever stop"He says
"Well this is the 74 year and I hope they stop someday soon but I don't think they will unless a miracle happens".I say
"Well I believe in miracles"He says
"Me to"I say
"Well we better get ready for the reaping"He says
"I know"I say
"Well may the odds be ever in your favor"He says mocking Effie Trinket
"Thanks"I say laughing
"Well I'll see you."He says
"You too"I say
"Bye Catnip"He says
"Bye Gale and good luck"I say
"Good luck to you to"He says
Later at the Market...
"When I'm at the market I see a pin."It's as if someone fashioned a small golden bird and then attached a ring around it. The bird is connected to the ring only by its wing tips. I suddenly recognize it. A mockingjay."
"How much for this"I ask
The old woman looks at me and she says "For you dear free"
"Thank you"I say
At the reaping...
My mother has just done my sister Prim and my hair and we both wore nice blue dresses my mother sew.
I'm holding hands with Prim and we walk up to the table to give finger prints.
"Name"the person says
"Katniss Everdeen"I say
"Age"the person says
"16"I say
"You may go"he says
"Name"he says to Prim
"Primrose Everdeen"she say
"Age"he says
"12"she says
"You may go"he says
After all that is done we go stand with our age Effie Trinket walks up on the stage and says "Welcome to the 74 Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor"
"Lady's first"she says while pulling out a slip of paper and I think of Prim and how scared she must be and then I say it's not gonna be her name is only in once.
And when she pulls out that piece of paper she says "our female tribute is... Primrose Everdeen"
When she says at I scan through the not looking for the Prim we all know and love I'm looking for a scared Prim and I find her making her way up to the I do the only thing I can do to keep her safe I run up to stage and I say" I volunteer "as loud as I can and I keep saying it till the guards let Prim go and take me up to the stage and I scream to Prim "I'll win for you."
When I get on the stage Effie says "What is your name darling"
"I mm...Katniss Everdeen"I try to say
"Well was that your sister"she says
"Yes"I say
"Well that's our female tribute Everdeen"she says
"Now for the boys" she says
I'm scared now I'm just standing here on the female side waiting for them to call the male tribute hoping it's not Gale or his family.
Effie pulls out a slip and she says"Peeta Mellark"
He makes his way up on the stage and when I look at him I think about the day were he saved my day were he took a beating just to feed my family.I look at him and I think of him of the boy with the bread.
Flashback...
I'm here in the rain.I'm trying to sell some of Prim old baby clothes.I'm mom is mentally I'll right now because my father just died a few months ago and we no longer have money to pay for the food we eat or animals to trade.(to young to hunt back then)
Its starting to rain really hard now.I'm outside the bakery.I see hitting her son Peeta.(goes to school with him)She's just hitting him because all he did was burn some bread wich they have tons of.I think of how mad would be seeing this,because he is so nice to his family,but is a witch.
She yells at him and says "fed it to the pigs".
But instead of feeding it to the pigs when he gets outside he looks at me and doesn't say anything all he does is toss me two loaves of bread.I can see through his eyes that he felt sorry for me.
This day...
But to this day I'm still trying to find out if he meant to burn those pieces of bread or was it an looks like well be spending a lot of time together and I don't know if id like that or not.
I think about him everyday and how he saved us those few gave us something to eat.I will always be thankful to him for is has many would he give me those loaves of bread I guess that's something only he knows.
Effie tell us to shake hands and then says "Give a round of applause to the tributes of district 12"and no one claps and I know why .They are scared for the same felling I can see in Peetas eyes and I bet he can see it in my eyes . Its called fear.
Well I think.I have to win now for Prim.
Next time...
Peeta and Katniss say goodbye to everyone
