This is just a remake of the Hunger Games I do not own anything!All rights go to Suzanne Collins!
It was the day of the reaping, even though it was bright and sunny here in district 4. As I was lost in thought, Joslyn comes up to me.
"I hope I don't get picked, we both know I don't have any talents" Joslyn says miserably.
"Your names only entered once" I remind her.
"Oh yeah, but, Bianca yours is entered...1...2...3...4...5...6...7... a lot of times!" Joslyn exclaimed.
She was right I was twelve, but I had to get tesserae for each of my six family members. So, my name was entered a total of 8 times (including me) . I was worried that if I did get picked, I would die because I have no skills what-so-ever, I mean it.
"Stop worrying Bianca" my brother says which snaps me back into reality "Even if you got picked, you're super sneaky, climb trees faster than a squirrel, and you know how to kill fish with you're bare hands...you'll be fine" Austin finishes.
At 2:10 we are ordered to be at the reaping. I watch as Effie Jr. walks across the stage just like her grandmother, Effie Trinket. Effie Jr.'s indigo wig is tilted just of balance, which made her look like a walking color.
In her high pitched voice she says, "Ladies first" and walks to the first bucket "Who have we here, oh jolly good it's Bianca Tate"
I freeze as I hear my name. Out of my 5 siblings who are all 12-16, still eligible for the Hunger Games, none volunteer. Quietly I walk to the stage, and face the crowd, I can see my mother and sister Joslyn crying their eyes out.
" Well now the boys" she says in her Capitol tone "Austin Tate,... I bet my buttons that's your sister over their isn't it...Humph well I welcome you district 4's tributes!" she finished.
A brother and sister. I wonder how hard it must be for my family. First me, then Austin, how is my mother coping with it?! Lost in thought on the train I miss what someone told me.
"What? I'm sorry I missed that" I apologized.
"I am your mentor" the girl says "and my name is Katniss Everdeen and this is your other mentor Peeta Mellark" she finishes gesturing toward a man with bright blonde hair.
"Oh.. I'm Bianca Tate an-" I was cut short by Katniss. "We know who you are" she says.
That's when a thought hit me. They were the winners from district 12, so why were they coaching district 4? I decided to let that thought get away because it didn't make any sense. That's when Katniss said she needed to speak to me in private. I hoped she wasn't thinking about me as a career, because I did not want to be a career.
" When the games start the Cornucopia will be right there in front of you this year because, the younger tributes are now closer to it. I want you to get your hands on a bow, trident, or a set of daggers okay? Then run away as fast as you can got it?" Katniss finished. After that she sent me to my prep team.
They were ridiculous. They pulled every hair of my body (not my actual hair, just the hairs on the limbs) that was "too long" according to the one with pink hair. After hours of pulling and soaking they sent me to my stylist. His name was Cinique and he was the son of someone named Cinna?
He examined me until he said my theme would be "mysterious" which I understood, almost no one could read my emotions, not even Austin. I was dressed in a bright blue dress that matched my eyes and fit well with my black hair.
That's all for part 1. Part 2 will soon be out and please comment what you think below.
BTW I AM ONLY 11!
