"It'll be okay sweetheart" Marshall whispered in my ear, it was my first reaping and I was absolutely hysterical. "your names only been in there once Fi, they won't pick you" he whispered again, and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze, I nodded, looking straight ahead, into the crowd of people, aged twelve to eighteen, they had been roped off into sections, like animals. I looked at the numbers of people that I saw in front of me. And I wanted to believe him, I truly did, but there were so many twelve year olds I had seen enter the games and die that for once in my life, I didn't have faith in what he said.

When we reached the ropes, he let go of my hand, kissing me on the forehead, "remember, it's going to be fine" he whispered, he smiled at me, and I smiled back, he turned away and walked off towards the sixteen's. I slipped under the rope in the twelve's line, making sure that any of the peace keepers who cared where I stood didn't see me. I found Hale, he smiled at me, but he looked giddy, he grabbed my hand, holding it tightly. We exchanged nods, and looked up at the stage, were the mayor was standing, to his left, a woman named Clary Peak, who was district twelve's escort, to his right, district twelve's mentors, Tony, Abigail and Charlie, next to them, stood the head peace keeper, Will, who me and Hale have sold apples and meat to on countless occasions. The mayor began his speech, about how Panem was once a land called North America, he talked about the first and second uprising, and how we should be grateful that the capitol let us off with a warning and the hunger games this time.

When he was finished, Clary stood up, and walked over to the microphone. "Hello district twelve, I am Clary peak, and I am proud to say, on behalf of the capitol, welcome to the annual one hundred and twenty first hunger games!" she said in a sing-song voice. Everyone was silent. "Well then," she said, "enough with the introductions! Let's get to choosing the tributes shall we?" "I always do ladies first; I think it's time for a change don't you?" clary made her way over to the glass ball, which contained the names of the boys, the only thing going through my head was please be safe Marshall, please be safe hale don get picked, don't get picked! She reached into the bowl, and I felt like throwing up. She pulled out a piece of paper, and unfolded it; my heart was beating uncontrollably now. Be safe, please, please! She walked back up to the microphone. Be safe, be safe! "Marshall Lightwood!"

"NOOO!" I scream, Robin jumps up from next to me instantly, her eyes darting in every direction to find the source of my screaming. "What's wrong Fi? What's wrong?" she says, looking at me, panic stricken. When she realizes nothing's wrong, she calms, "nightmares?" she asks me, and I nod. I look over to mom's bed, and not to my surprise, she's still sleeping, honestly, that woman could probably sleep through an uprising. Robin throws the furs off her thin body and gets out of bed, she walks out of the room we share with our mother, and I follow. We enter the main room, where she goes to the pantry, and opens the door. Robin starts removing the contents, looking for something. "Hey Fi? Are you and Hale going to the forest today?" I nod, "yeah, do you need us to get something?" She nod's back, "mm hmm, were out of, well, just about everything, and I wanted to make some orange juice, and I think we need some meat too." "got it, meat and fruit," I say, I walk to the door and pull on my boots and coat, just as I grab some rope for snare's and my map of where I put my traps, not my knives, I hid those in the shack. Just before I leave, Robin calls out to me "what if he's not up yet?" She shouts. I turn around and smile, "trust me, he's up" I open the door and walk out.
