Hey…so I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. So sorry the first chapter was so messed up…fanfiction deleted my spaces in between the different people so this time I'm using the number eight to separate them. Also if you have any ideas for tributes just PM me your ideas and I might use them! But also remember no volunteers and they can't have any training or anything. Just give me their name, district, age, their life story and what weapon they'll probably be best with. Also don't forget to review and that the Hunger Games doesn't belong to me.
District 2
I was one of the lucky ones. Both my parents and my four siblings all survived the rebellion. Since we remained loyal to the Capitol during the war, my father was appointed mayor and my mother is head peacekeeper. On a regular day there would be the sound of drills and hammers all day until five at night. The workers wouldn't come home from building the giant military base and meet in the square. But today is no regular day, and everyone knows it. It is the anniversary of the end of the Dark Days and everyone is holding their breath, waiting for the Capitol to throw its final blow to destroy the rebels hope forever. My father called for a meeting, requiring all to be present unless they are ill or dying.
"Bruto get your suit on, you need to look your best!" my mother said. "Look your sister can do it, why can't you?" I looked over at the sixteen year old dressed in a pale yellow frock and her hair in a thick bun. She did look nice, and it sickened me. I stuck my tongue out at her and tried to think of some excuse to stay in my play clothes. "Farren always looks like that Mom! She doesn't do anything fun! Besides Halla, Reyni, and Talara aren't ready yet!" I said. "Yes they are Bruto….girls? Come into the hallway please." My mother said. Coming out of their room were the triplets, Halla dressed in a puffy purple dress, Reyni in a puffy peach one and Talara in a puffy pink dress all with a matching flower in their hair. The dresses made me want to vomit and I made faces at them. Eventually my mother got us all looking presentable. We walked out of the house in age order, my mother leading us, then Farren, me, and finally the ten year olds. When we arrived in the square Farren and me were herded off into a roped off section in the square where other kids are age were. On stage a strange looking woman with artificial pale white skin, long blue hair with black and yellow streaks, and crimson eye shadow and lipstick on. She wore a sleeveless dress that came down mid-thigh and was covered in multi-colored gumballs. My father stood at the microphone with two peacekeepers at his side. When he began to speak the crowd grew silent as he gave a brief summary of the rebellion and a short, brief synopsis of The Games, and ended with introducing the woman as Frihila Vivico. She began to speak with the ridiculous Capitol accent about how pleased she was to be there and Bruto tuned out until he heard her day "Ladies first!" and reached down deep into the giant glass ball and pulled out a card and read the name. "Gilderi Reherth"

When my name was called I flashed back to just that morning when I was wondering what the meeting was about and what it was for. I was so excited thinking maybe the peacekeepers were leaving or maybe they had found my mother. My mother had been a general in the rebellion army, until she was captured by the Capitol when I was just nine years old. But that was six years ago and ever since then my father has tried to raise me and my two sisters up. My eleven year old sister Jadisa and I have practically raised our eight year old sister Liopa. My father has never been the same since my mother disappeared, and can barely keep up his small bookshop and definitely can't take care of three girls. When I heard my named called my heart stopped. "I can't leave my family for several weeks!" I thought. I tried to run out of the square so they couldn't force me to go but a peacekeeper caught me and dragged me onto the stage and stayed by my side to ensure I didn't run again. The woman, Frihila Vivico, gave me a strange look but then moved and said "Now for the boys" she quickly reached in and picked off the very first one her fingers touched and read it aloud. "Bruto Niffol" When he walked onto the stage I saw he was just a small thirteen year old boy and looking at the mayor's face I realized the boy was the mayor's son.

My father bribed and persuaded with the peacekeepers to let me go and pick a new tribute but they refused. When he finally came in to visit me, he grabbed me and began to sob into my shoulder. I realized that he must know more about what The Games are then what he told our District. When he finally pulled away he said to me "Be strong. Just do your best and never give up." He took off his completely diamond watch and secured it tightly to my wrist. "Just something to remember me by. If you ever miss me, just look at the watch and now I'm routing for you" When the peacekeepers came in my father kissed my for head told me he loved me and left.

In the Justice Building, my family came to visit me. I hugged them all and told them not to worry as long as they didn't buy anything they didn't need; they would survive the few weeks without me. "You're going to great Gilderi." My sister Jadisa said. "I can see it now, the winner of the First Annual Games: Gilderi Reherth" Liopa said mimicking a deep man's voice. We all laughed at her imitation and spent the remaining time trying to take our minds off of the feeling of dread. We all knew that these "games" won't be like chess or checkers. Most likely people will get hurt or worse. When the peacekeepers returned I hugged them and told them all I loved them. The last glimpse of my family was of sweet little Liopa waving goodbye.
There's my second chapter. I hoped you liked it and (I got this idea from my friend mrspeetamellark55) for every review I get I'll write a hundred words so:
1 review = 100 words
2 reviews = 200 words
3 reviews = 300 words
And so on and so on. So hopefully I'll get lots of reviews so I'll finish the reapings soon. (Also one person posting multiple reviews doesn't count) Tell your friends!
