Me: :( No reviews :(
Marvel: HA HA! Told ya no one would read it!
Me: Shut the fudge up, Marvel!
Marvel: Aw.. she's too afraid to swear.
Me: DO THE DISCLAIMER ALREADY!
Marvel: FINE! As long as I get some of that pizza after. VIVACIOUSVESPER739 DOES NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES! AND SHE ISN'T A VESPER EITHER.
Me: Thank you. *Smushes pizza in Marvel's face*
Chapter 2
"Hurry. The Peacekeepers are out on duty about now. What took you guys so long?" our friend Liah asks.
"Ha, you said duty," Gabe snickers.
I roll my eyes, and reply, "Sorry, Gabe here just had to get us on the wrong path to District 7 instead."
"Anyway, at least you guys are here. I'm so scared. Today is the Reaping!" Liah exclaims.
"I'm so happy that we're from 14. We never get Reaped. Although, sometimes I do wish that Iris here would get Reaped," Gabe says.
"Hey! Gabe!" I exclaim. "Anyway, that's why I brought you this, Liah."
I hand her a crystal pendant.
"I found it in the gem mines. Just put it on some necklace." I say.
"Thank you. It's beautiful."
"You're welcome. Now, before the Reaping, what do you want to do?" I ask.
"How about climb trees or something," a voice says behind us.
Gabe, Liah and I spin around to see Liah's brother climb in.
"Yes! Thank you, Liam, for coming! I'm not surrounded by girls anymore!" Gabe says.
Liah and I laugh.
We climb up another ladder leading upward from the tree house. The ladder leads to a wooden platform higher above on the tree.
From the platform, there was a long cord or wire or whatever leading from the tree fort, to another place somewhere else in the woods.
"Zip line time!"
After zip-lining across a few times, Liah and Liam went to get ready for the Reaping, and Gabe and I head back for District 14.
As we start riding, we forget to look around for any Peacekeepers.
"Stop right there, trespassers!" a deep voice startles me.
Sorry if these chapters are really short. I'll try updating more often... as soon as I figure out how to add this chapter...
