District 1: Reaping.
Kaeso Aeternum.
Wielding the sword in my right hand, i once again advance on the target in front of me. Swinging my right hand back i chop the head of the dummy off cleanly and supress a small smile. Glancing round I see a few girls and other boys that are hoping to volunteer this year stop and watch me as i stab another dummy in the heart. I couldn't help but compare stabbing the dummy with a human body. The flesh giving way, the smell of the blood and the helpless look in my victims eyes. Then theres also the relief that i've completed my task and someone else who is innocent is safe. I walk out of the training room as a trainer beckons me over. " District 1 trainees, i give you your male volunteer for the 99th Hunger Games" smirking at the slightly angered and scared faces of my competitors i await the Instructor to announce my District ally.

I hum the newest song I'm learning to sing to my dads clients after the reaping while working at the edible plants station brushing up on my knowledge, though i hardly need it not with my photographic memory. Suddenly my sister, Belle, nudged my arm motioning me to turn around and watch the boy whos arm looked like it was on fire expertly wield a sword. I gulped slightly. When he stopped moving his arm my eyes roamed over his flame tattoo i marvelled at the art work. The boy turns to leave when a trainer beckons him over and announces him as the volunteer for the males this year. For my sister Belle, this is her last year in the Games and i know shes hoping that neither of us will get picked. Although i think i must of got it wrong because when she looks at me when they announce my name for being this years volunteer female, all i see is relief on her face.
Kaeso.
I look over at the pretty blonde girl who has been chosen as the other volunteer for this year, damn I mean i might be gay but theres no denying shes hot. Once ive sized her up i head home, ready to escape my family and put myself to the test.
I open the door to my 2 storey house and head to the basement. I don't bother saying hello because i know my family are all off doing their peacekeeper jobs. They don't approve of me because im a merc. Big deal they enforce these Games that are not right….at least not right for those under 15. I close my eyes ass i step into the hot shower allowing my mind to go back to last night when i broke a mans hands and slight his throat because he was abusing his sons who were just 12 and 13 years old. I had collected the money happiliy knowing their was no guilt in what i did.
Once out of the shower i look at myself in the mirror with my one good eye. During one of my first jobs i had been careless and stupid and the bloody git had stabbed me in the eye. My body is extremely muscled and i pick a tight black top and grey skinny jeans to wear to the reaping before slipping into my trainers. Combing my shortish hair and putting some clear powder on my face (don't want to look sweaty on live television now do we ?) i look round my room once more, wal u the stairs, and leave.
Alexandra.
I don't speak to Belle on the way home although i know i can win if i try. I mean im smart right? And im ace with a tomahawk and a kama sickle. A thought hits me suddenly. The reapings in 3 hours ! what on earth am i going to wear ?!
Once home i let Belle explain whats happening to my mum and dad. I jump into the shower and start washing the sweat off of me with rose soap. I brush my teeth and sit in front of my vanity mirror and put on my makeup. I decide to try and look naturally pretty, brown mascara, pale white powder to stop me looking sweaty and a pale pink lipgloss that makes my eyes appear icier than they should be. I put my hair up in a high ponytail. Once i step out of my room i see my mum has left me a white lace dress that goes down to my knees and blue flats. I slide my black head band on and look for my token it's an alexandrite and Spinel Golden Ring studded with Diamonds. Then i go downstairs and walk to the reaping. Once signed in and the video has been shown they ask for volunteers, i walk up to the stage and am quickly followed by Kaeso. Then we are taken to the train. No last goodbyes here, that's a sign of weakness.
