Chapter 4, districts 4, 5, and 6 Reapings

District 4 (Suite Life on Deck) 1:55 PM

Ok Cody, breathe. In, out, in, out. The president just wants to talk to you about your grades in Mathematics. He won't ask you to volunteer today, the day, you're going to survive then wait two more years to be safe for good. Cody Martin thought to himself as he walked into the Mayor's office. Cody was really smart, some say he could already graduate at 16, but today just felt odd. He tried to convince himself the mayor just wanted to talk to him but something told him otherwise. Could it be about Zack? He always seems to get himself into trouble. Zack Martin was Cody's troublesome, player twin. He thought life was just about partying and dating, he never thought of anything seriously. Maybe if he's picked for the Games, he'll change. He went into the office and saw Maya Bennett, Zack's girlfriend, looking as scared as ever.

"Hey Cody, got called to the office too?" She asked. "Yeah, hopefully it has nothing to do with the Games." He replied. They both jumped when the door opened, seeing a bright Mr. Moseby come in. "Good Morning you two. How are you today? Happy Hunger Games." The mayor sat in a seat across from Cody and Maya.

"Well, as you know Zack has been acting up more lately. He has pulled countless pranks on the important people of the Capitol and disobeys his elders. We have decided to put him into the Games to straighten him out, set him down a better path." He said with a smile on his face. Cody and Maya both looked horrified. I didn't mean it literally! He'll never make it! Cody thought. "With all due respect sir," Cody started, "Zack would never make it in the Games, he would die in the first bloodbath." Maya nodded, agreeing.

"Well, there is another way I suppose." Mr. Moseby stated, "You two go into the Games. He would stop his charades and watch you fight to the death. Amazing idea, Cody. Brilliant! See you two at the Reaping!" He finished as he walked out of the room. The room then was silent, both teenagers frozen. "What do we do now Cody? Are we going into the Games?" Maya said in a hushed voice. "Well, I guess it's the only way to protect Zack. I'm going, Zack may be the biggest pest around but he is my brother. Let's just hope my death counts." Cody said as standing and walking out of the room, leaving a frozen Maya. I'm going in, to protect Cody. She thought, and maybe Zack in the process.

"Zachary Martin!" Emma Tutweiller called; the escort looked at her note card again and looked surprised. "I volunteer as tribute!" Cody Martin called. He was scared on the inside yet knew he had to protect his brother. Zack stopped midway to the stage and turned to Cody, "You don't need to bro. I've done everything to deserve this. You-"Cody cut him off "are not going, I am. Don't worry, I'll be okay."

"Bailey Pickett!" Emma called next, "I volunteer!" Maya calls. She looked at Cody and gave a slight nod. Bailey had tears in her eyes Cody, why? She thought. She knew he had a good chance but hated the fact he was going away for a long time, possibly forever.

"Our District 4 tributes!" Raising both their hands, Emma practically screamed.

In, out, in out, in, out Cody. In, out. Were Cody's last thoughts before getting pushed away.

District 5 (Wizards of Waverly Place) 1:55 PM

Alex Russo's POV

Me, Justin, Max, Harper and Mason all walked in silence towards the Justice building. It was Justin's last year of the Reaping, his girlfriend, Juliet, was two years out of it. Max was 14; he still had 4 years to go. Harper, Mason and I had two more years. This day made me forget that my brother was the oh-so-smart-one of the family and that Max was… Max. It made me forget Harper was weird and had no sense of fashion or Mason was the one I loved with all my heart. Today, I just felt sadness, loneliness, and hurt. No one should have to die like this. That's why when Ms. Rosie (no one knows her last name) came up and said that STUPID "May the odds be ever in your favor!" I wanted to go up and pull all her red wig out and send her to the ground.

After they pricked our fingers, Justin made his way to the 18s and Max went to the 14s while Mason, Harper and I made our way to the 16s. "Whatever happens," Mason began, "You're mine forever. " He kissed my cheek and made his way to the boys.

"Ladies first!" Rosie used her delicate, perfectly polished nails to pick one of the slips with a dreaded name on it. "Harper Finkle!" No. I'm frozen when she calls her name. When I try to volunteer, she already moves on to the next name. "Mason Greybeck!" No. No. No! NO! Both my best friend and my boyfriend are going into the arena! Why does the Capitol hate us! No one stops me when I sink to the floor and cry, if anything Justin comes and picks me up and carries me home. The odds were in their favor, I know that. But the sight of them killing people or vice versa sends nightmares to my brain before I even fall asleep.

Whatever happens, you're mine forever. The last words I hear before I either fall asleep or pass out.

District 6 (Zeke and Luther) 2:00 PM

Luther Waffles looked over at his best friend, Zeke Falcone who was fiddling with the top button of his shirt. They both were uncomfortable in their best clothing, wanting to ditch this outfit and switch to old shorts and a t-shirt to go out and ride on something they invented called a skateboard. Someone invented it before them- of course- but they were the only ones known to use one. Zeke looks over at his younger sister, Ginger, who was looking down, covering her tears. You're name is only in their once, they won't pick you. His words ringing in his head, knowing they weren't 100 percent true. Just look at the 74th Games, Primrose was picked at 12. If only I was a girl, I could volunteer for her.

"Gentleman first!" This year's escort, Pamela Rodriquez, announced. "I'm mixing it up this year, you see-"
"Ah, shut up Rodnie! Everyone knows how you're just a weirdo!" The male mentor called, no one could remember his name. He was addicted to Morphling, a pain-killer, and he was as crazy as the drunk guy in district 12.

She looked at him then continued. "Luthisour Waffles!" As he walked up to the stage, Zeke kept his head down. Luther and he made a pact at their first Reaping saying they weren't allowed to volunteer for each other or scream each other's name like it's the end of the world. They would act like men.

"Ginger Falcone!" Zeke let a couple of tears fall, he couldn't protect her anymore. Ginger was crying, not trying to hide it. "Our tributes!" Zeke didn't look up to see Luther and Ginger for a last time, he couldn't. Luther didn't look at Zeke, only his grandma and Ginger looked at their mother who was crying also. A 12 year old and an airhead, yeah we'll definitely bring home a victor this year! The old mentor sighed; so far this was going to be an interesting year.

Sorry I kinda rushed the last one but I just want to get to the Games already! So, I decided to leave out the family visits but if you disagree with my decision, please let me know but you will hear about them throughout the games. Please let me know if I should continue and I'll update ASAP!
