Two weeks later..
Ursula stood in her massive bedroom and she admired herself in the mirror, the dress that she decided to wear to the reaping was simple yet elegant. The tight golden dress matched perfectly with her golden blonde hair and her light brown eyes. She ran her hands through her curly blonde hair once more for good measure, but mid stroke the door opened and there stood her younger sister, Jezebel. She had always loved her younger sister, but she was kinda a snob. Ursula quickly whipped around and sized up her sister for a few good seconds before laughing and saying, "you clean up nicer than I expected, Jez." Her sister gave her a disapproving look, but any further conversation was shut down immediately whenever their mother yelled from downstairs. "Don't be disrespectful. That would be something I'd expect of a lesser family, not a Lépou. Now let's get going, don't wanna be late."
The girls both walked down stairs and their mother stood in perfect posture next to their dad, Augustus Lépou. He was very quiet since he suffered trauma from his time in the arena, but he was still a very caring father. Their mother walked over to Ursula and immediately began looking her over for any sign of a wardrobe malfunction. She almost got away without one of her mother's speeches about fashion, but as expected her mother found something wrong with the outfit. Her mother simply took of the scarf that Ursula was wearing and she threw it on the couch. Her mother then said, "that scarf made the whole outfit look tacky." Her father quickly interrupted. "Can we please just go?" Her mother nodded and they began walking towards the town center from their home in victor's village.
They reached the town square and they split up soon to get their blood taken, Jezebel and Ursula went to the youth line and their parents went to the adult line. Ursula looked at the needle and didn't even flinch as it stuck into her arm. She soon moved over to the eighteen year old section and awaited all of the mandatory videos and speeches, all the while her mind was racing. She knew that she could go into the arena and try to bring honor to her family, or she could wind up being a prissy socialite like her mother. She had been training since the age of seven and she was sure that her skills with throwing knives would come into handy, but the thought of killing elderly people repulsed her. A grin spread across her face as she realized that an old person couldn't possibly put up much of a fight against someone trained and younger than them.
By the time that the speeches and the video were over nearly everyone would just rather go home and take a nap from the massive headache that they give. The escort, Xavier King walked over to the stage and looked at the bowls. "Time for the lucky lady to be reaped for district two." He put his hand in the bowl and he did some dramatic hand stirring before taking out a slip of paper and reading it. "Lolita Maxim!" A stunned girl stood in the middle of the fourteen year old group, but she began slowly walking towards the stage. Before the girl could take three steps Ursula said humorously. "You must've scared the poor girl Xavier! I volunteer as tribute." Ursula walked to the stage with little emotion and the girl immediately thanked her as she walked by, Ursula just grinned and jogged up the stairs and taking a stationary position by Xavier.
Xavier looked at her and smiled, "you look fabulous, and who might you be?" She quickly said back to him with a bit of humor in her tone. "Ursula Lépou." He looked at her in semi disbelief before quickly laughing. "I can tell who our next victor may be." He heartily patted her back before turning his attention to the male bowl. He slipped his hand in and did the same stirring motion before pulling out a slip of paper. He quickly read it, "Give it up for Gavin Demoy!" Her heart immediately dropped as she heard his name. She wanted to hide as the massive 6'9" eighteen year old walked to the stage. He was an absolute monster, she had seen him during training and he'd ripped of a dummy's head with his bare hands. He looked down at her and placed his hand out for her to shake and she reluctantly took it. He whispered to her, "Don't get in my way and I won't kill you." She immediately nodded and Xavier looked at the two and said loudly. "Cut it out you two love birds..!" He laughed and seemed to be the only one doing so. He quickly lead the two to the city hall so they could depart for the capitol.
