I do not own Hunger Games!

Chapter 2

I came out of the bedroom in a blue dress. According to my father, it was my mother's when she was my age. I walk out to the kitchen with my long hair in a French Braid that instead of being just a braid went to a bun. My father looked up from straightening Robin's tie and telling Haymitch to button up his shirt. He gave me a sad smile.

'You look just like your mother," he said pulling me into a hug but then held me out at arms length. "But you're missing something."

I watched as he reached behind him and handed me a small box. I looked at him and opened it, inside was a small bird with a arrow pin but it was on a chain, rather than pinning it.

"It was your mother's. She wanted you to have it. Its left of my soul."

-Back to Jay's POV-

I stood with my peers from where I stood I could see Robin with his age group on my right, Haymitch on the stage with Kel Peples, District 12's escort. On my left, I could see Lynx with my father, Lynx was already crying. I watched him as I drowned out the Mayor's speech.

"Welcome, the time is upon us, to pick District 12's tributes, " Kel said walking over to a bowl with the names of all of the girls of District 12, "Ladies first.' He said pushing his hand into the bowl. My name along with so many others was put in there so many times for tesseras. I watch as Kel pulled out a poor girl's name and opened the folded paper.

"Your girl tribute is... Jay Everdean." Kel said as everyone turned toward me. Haymitch's mouth was open in shock and Lynx cried louder.

I walked to the Peacekeepers, who took me up the the stage. I knew no girl would volunteer for me. I stood up there next to Kel as he asked for some before picking the boy tribute.

"Your boy tribute is... Robin Everdean."Kel looked surprised. I felt the tears fall. I would have to kill my brother. I looked at Haymitch but he seemed just as shocked as everyone else. Never has there been 2 tributes from the same family in the same games.

"Well, what a historical moment we have here, folks!" Kel said as I began to drown him out. Suddenly, Robin's hand was in front of me. I shook it before we were ushered into separate rooms. I sat in a room by myself while people came in and out of my room when my father and Lynx came in. As soon as I saw them, I ran to them and held them close.

"I'm so scared." I cried into my father's shirt.

"Shh. You'll win." He said trying to calm me. What? I couldnm working on fixing grammatical errors is the present chapters before making new ones, but I PROMISE I will get you new content.
