Chapter 2 District 2 Reaping's

Authors note: This is the second chapter written by Sophiemac thegames4life , Hogwartgamesdawn will write the next one

It's the morning of the reaping's in District 2 and everyone is getting prepared for the big day. All of the little kids are crying because they have no idea what's going on and their mothers are trying to calm them down with no luck.

It's an hour to go to and a few people are getting very tense and nervous whilst others are preparing notes in their heads in case they have to volunteer for someone they know. Taylah Budon was one of those people who casually pretends not to freak out but has trained secretly in case.

It came to the time of the reaping's and the lines for the needle prick was getting long. Taylah lined up and waited for her turn, then entered her roped off area were the rest of the 15 year old girls are.

Taylah's P.O.V

I glanced around and spot my friend and I can see a few people I know from school then my eyes follow theirs and see our districts escort, mayor and victors. Then Indusia Voss the escort stands up and says her yearly speech: "Welcome to 49th reaping everyone! I now you are all excited this year just as much as I am!" She says in a tone with flashy smile.

Then the Mayor proceeds to his speech "49 years ago when the districts rebelled against the Capitol who had shown you love and compassion, the capitol decided for the safety of the nation and to make up for all the lost live Panem suffered, Every year one boy and one girl from each district shall be entered into the Hunger Games and compete against the other districts, win and you bring honour and riches to your family and pride to your district. And without further or do let the Reaping's commence!" he steps down from the microphone and Indusia takes over again: "Is everyone? I know I am! Girls first," she walks over to the big bowl on her right and fishes out a small slip of paper with the name "Taylah Budon!" then she turns to the- oh crap that's me! I face the stage and put on a brave face and slowly walk up to the stage. I look around through the crowd trying to find my sister but because there are so many I couldn't see her.

I put on a determined face and look straight at the Escort giving her my best death glare. I think about my life in district 2 until this day and how I'm going to pull through this.

As I come back to reality and I find the Escort has already pulled out the boys slip and is now just pausing for the suspense.

Indusia put on another flashy smile and reads out "Ryen Mooring". The group of the 16 year old age group parts and a strong looking boy with a grin on his face bounds up the stairs and shook Taylah's hand.

I stare at him with a horrified look, this boy was going to kill be I can tell by the way he walks and how he looks. God I hope the Careers this year are very puny. So the competition won't be so tough except for him anyway.

Ryen's P.O.V – I was so happy and proud I had been chosen as a tribute but when I looked at Taylah's face I could tell she was a bit horrified by my reaction, oh well.

Authors P.O.V

The two tributes went with the peace keepers into the justice hall to say goodbye to their loved ones.

Taylah's first guest was her best friend Jessecia who she had known since she was two. As she looked at her friend she could see the tears in her eyes. "Take this and keep it for the rest of your life oh and don't forget me" she passed a small silver bracelet engraved with a small heart. "I promise I will wear for the rest of my life!" She replied then she was ushered out of the room and then her family arrived.

Her mother was in tears but her father interpreted her words. Her three younger brothers all looked up at her in admiration and clung to her until they were told to leave.

Ryen was first goodbye was with his father and his older sister and they gave him advice to stay alive and try to kill whoever gets in his way. Just before they left his sister gave him a punch in the gut and said with a weird sob noise, "I think I might actually miss your annoyingness!"

They Tributes were taken onto the train and the escort took them for a quick tour before they split up and went separate ways.

The first thing both the Tribute did when they were separate was jump on their massive, luscious beds.
