Amber Stone POV 1

I woke up to the shining sun, I knew today was my birthday. Today I turn 14 but also it is the reaping day for the 84th Hunger Games. I turn to my left and I see my older sister's bed, empty. She died in last year's game, she got killed by the victor, district 10 boy, Tyler Reed. I remember it all, I watched the screen, my sister was going to kill the girl from 6 when the boy from 10 came and killed her with a spear. I also remembered the Capitol showed her dying face on screen, I saw her took her last breath and died. I cried when I saw that but my father showed nothing. A normal family is like any other with a mom, dad, and a sibling or two, not me. Mom died when I was very young and my older brother died in the games before the rebellion. But my sister Crystal volunteered at 15 last year. Back to my mom though, after she died father never shown me or my older sister love or affection. But today I will go into the games and win, so father will be proud. Then I hear "Amber!" "Get ready and come eat breakfast!", it was my father. I got out of bed and go downstairs, father was sitting with coffee. I sat down in my chair and ate cereal. We didn't speak to each other. After I finished I went to change in a brown t-shirt and blue jeans. Then me and my father head out to the reaping, where I would go into the games. And I would win.

Slash Howard POV 1

It's the day of another Hunger Games. Where I would go for my dad and my ex-girlfriend who died in the games. I got up and put my hand threw my golden-brown hair and I got out of bed. I still think about my past even now, then I hear "Slash!" "Come on it's reaping day!" "Okay!" I shouted back. I live with my aunty named Daisy Quells. She's pretty wealthy person. But my mother wasn't a nice person that I heard of. I heard she left me after my father died and know one knows where she is now. But it's like I see her everyday because my aunt looks like her in someway. I go downstairs to see my aunt eating breakfast already. I sat down and she says "Hello Slash." "Good morning." I tell her. After some silence I broke it saying "Today I am going to volunteer." She looked at me and then took a sip of her orange juice and said "That's good for you." "Bring district 2 honor and to yourself." I finished eating and just changed into jeans and went with a blue t-shirt. Then I hear a knock on the door and my aunty answers it. I hear my friend Malty Reniour who comes in, I went downstairs "Hey Malty.". We shake each others hand, he said "Bro you going?", I nod. I sometimes felt bad for Malty since he was to skinny to train for the games and won't get muscle at all. "Ready to go?" he asked. I nodded again and me and him along with my aunty leave for the reaping.

Amber POV 2

We get to the reaping area and I see all the Capitol people and a few district 2 kids and others who were there. The Capitol took my blood and fingerprint and I went inside to stand with the rest of the 14 year old girls. I see our district escort Jem Stern. She's in a green wig with makeup like all the Capitol people are.

Slash POV 2

I come in the reaping area with Malty. It's the same every year, draw blood and fingerprint and wait for all to arrive, I won't fail, I won't.

No One's POV

"Welcome!" said Jem "To another Hunger Games." "Here's a little video for you all." A screen showed a video on how the games were before the rebellion, how the rebellion started, and how the Capitol took control once again. The video ended after a while. Jem "Wasn't that wonderful?" "Now for the girls."

Amber POV 3

After the video ended and she said the girls first I was ready. She went through the bowl of girl names and grabbed one. She said in the microphone "Lily Deen!" Right after I shouted "I volunteer!" The Peacekeepers were going to bring Lily on stage. Lily was only 12 and sighed in relief and I went on stage. Jem "What's your name?" I say "Amber Stone." "My, my your Crystal's younger sister from last year." I nodded. "Well alright then on to the boys."

Slash POV 3

Finally it's time for the boys turn. The girl Amber Stone, she is only 14 and her sister last year went in at only 15. But whatever it's my turn to shine. Jem picks a name for the boys and goes to the microphone and says "Dick Forswan!" "I volunteer!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. This kid Dick was 16 and looked mad. I gave him the 'Better luck next time.' look. I walked onstage and Jem asked me "What's your name?" I responded "Slash Howard." as proud as I can. Jem "Our tributes Amber Stone and Slash Howard!" "Both of you shake hands now. I took Amber's hand and then she guides us inside a building to say our last goodbyes.
