December Raine Fall that's my name but most people call me Ember I like that name better. I'm from district twelve I'm 16 and five years younger than are only victor Haymitch Abernathy. I'm from the middle class of District 12 not the Seam and not from the Town ether. I from a small housing area called the Ridge It's extremely close to the mines so if anything explodes we feel it first. We are feed better than the Seam but that doesn't say much, My father Felix Fall is a hunter by heart but he is District 12's principle so we have enough food, I also know how to hunt but everything I catch goes to a place called the Hub A black Market that we trade at. My mother is a towns kid her parents ran a flower shop that she now owns her name is Magnolia but most people call her Maggie like my baby brother and sister there twins and only 4. May Lee is my little sisters name and my brother's name is Aaron James, they don't understand the world yet to young and we all wish for them to stay that way but they want everything has to grow up.
Right now I'm sitting far up in a tree waiting to shot anything that comes by me. My long dirty blonde hair is up in a pony tail and my bangs (Think Lolita bangs) frame my almond shaped face and large blown eyes. Nothing came I had no game but at the moment I was looking for game just sitting. After an hour of nothing I went home crossed the gate closet to my house so I could go home and prepare for the Reaping. Even though my name isn't in there as much as a Seam child it's in there a lot I take tesserae for a set of twelve year old twins in the Seam one is mentally ill she can't focus and her mother says there are voices in her head The Games would not be good for her at all and her sister who has to stay and take care of her there both needed here and my cousins on my father's side. I once said that if ether one of them was chosen I'd take their place it's all I can do to protected them.
I walked in the front door of my home to find nothing dads at work so who ever gets chosen he can easily take them out of the school stem when they die in the Arena or take them out if they win which is unlikely. I hope in the tub and clean myself in lukewarm water not even that. I then get out towel dry my long hair and put it in a bun that appears to be falling my Reaping dress is laid out on my bed that I share with the twins well they have a twin bed they share but they normally end up with me before the nights over. My dress is a soft gray color that laces up the back, I but on flat ballet shoes and walked out of my room to fined dad waiting for me mom and the twins would meet us in the square at 2 me and dad would walk to the flower shop they both kissed me before I had to go stand with the youth my age.
A knew escort stood there she had bright purple hair and a accent that scream capitol if you asked me. He name is Effie Trinket and I know already I can't stand her. "Ladies first!" she calls and walked over to the glass ball that had the girls names in it.
"Addison Raine!" my twelve year old that hears voices.
Addison slowly walks past me but I grab her hand and tell her to stop. "I volunteer as tribute!" I called as I walked in front of her. Effie looked befuddled and it was humorous to me. "Well whats your name?" she asked in a high pitched voice.
"My name is December Raine." I answered in a apathetic tone.
"That's the spirit! No time for the boys." she said as she bounced over to the boys glass bowl.
"Jay Sparrows!" He's a merchant kid 18 maybe or 17 I don't know him personally but I know he want be easy to kill and I will not ally with someone like him who finds joy in kicking puppies.
After the mayor does some more talking and I shake Jay hand I am rushed off to the Justice Building. I sit in a nicely designed room of red, blacks and grays. My parents walk in first my mom wraps her small frame around me in a hug as she places something around my neck I looked down and it's her golden necklace that has a mockingjay charm and her engagement ring on it. "This is your district token December understand do not take it off." she says sternly.
"Yes ma'am." I say tearfully.
"Ember you can win you have lots of skill and you know that." My father said and game me a reassuring smile. After we hugged one more time they were told they had to go. Next walked in Addison and Allison . Addison run up to me and hugged me she understood what I did for her. Allison hugs me next and starts crying.
"Thank you very much December." my Aunt says trying to hide her tears.
"Make sure momma stays sane please I'll be fine I swear." I told my Aunt I then bent down to Addi and Alli's level.
"Just wait I'll be back before you know it and I'll help you beat the dragons again." I told them both then there ushered away.
No one else come so it's off to the train I go. I wave goodbye and bored the train the only hope they have are the promises I made and I you know me you know I don't break a promise. Once on the train we are ushered to a dining room to eat. There sat a not drunk but in a hangover Haymitch our mentor and the odds aren't in my favor but the man I have fallen in love with. "So what skills do the two of you have." he asked indifferently.
"I lifted weights at school, and I'm okay with a knife." Jay says he the butchers son so it's reasonable that he knows how to handle a knife.
"I can't do anything." I lied and Haymitch knew so.
"Do you know any self defense?" Haymitch asked.
"I know some it was some basic my dad taught me a long time ago though." Another lie, I can flip a man over my shoulder if he touches my anywhere that he isn't allowed to.
"That might help there's always hand to hand combat get a knife and you will be good." He says clearly trying to figure out my game. He knows me I clean his house sometimes and eat with him at the Hub.
"I know a lot about plants, edible and poisonous." I said after he eyed me a bit and that wasn't a lie I promise.
"So I have a bookworm and fighter great all the more fun." He answered sarcastically.
Dinner was over by the time he finished interrogating us and I was tired as hell. I promised I'd do my best but right now my best strategy is to not trust Jay trust is dangerous and I'm the best actor in the business.

The next morning I woke up and was rushed off to some random place where they would make presentable for the parade.
It was agonizing hell, I was dressed as a coal miner it was rather lame if you asked me, I played the part of a terrified little girl well but when my alone time with the Gamemakers came I'd show them. After that Parade we were escorted the Training center and this is where the real games begin the real acting takes place.
