Chapter 1: The Reaping
Willow's pov
It's the morning of the reaping of the 100th annual Hunger Games.
Oh joy.
This Quarter quell only kids related to any existing victor can be reaped.
Which is me daughter of the star crossed lovers.
Also Ronnie my cousin. His mum is Auntie Prim and his dad is Uncle Rory.
I really dont care if I'm picked or not.
There is a couple of names in the reaping bowls. I dont know many of the people though.
The district 12 escort Silvina Harris comes onto the stage.
"Welcome everyone." she says"Today we will select 1 couragous young man and women..."
I'm mouthing the speech It's the same as my parents' escort's speech and I heard them say it as well.
I completely zone out until the person next to taps me.
"Willow Mellark did you hear me deary?" Silvina says Mum and dad look pretty shocked.
I walk up and goes to call out the boys. I hope It's not Ronnie.
"Ronnan Hawthorne." she calls. Yep it's Ronnie. "Are you okay deary?" she asks me "Oh its just that hes my cousin." I say "Ooh how interesting." she said as if it was a good thing.
We are ushered away into our rooms in the Justice building.
Auntie Prim comes to see me.
"I promise I'll look after Ronnie." I tell her "He said he'll look after you," Prim says.
"I love you Auntie Prim." I say hugging her.
"Love you too Willow." she says before the peacekeepers take her out.
I see mum and dad on the train. They run up and hug me.
"I'm so sorry Willow we never wanted this to happen." mom says to me.
"I know." ...
