Chapter 1- Reaped

Katniss Everdeen stands on the stage outside the president's mansion. "I hate her" I mumble to myself. Katniss Everdeen, the leader of the rebellion, used to be someone I looked up to. I don't anymore. Today is the reaping, and I could be sent to fight to the death.

After the rebels won the rebellion, Katniss took power and gave us the Hunger Games. Not ordinary Hunger Games, this is why I am standing here today. No, these games are with the children from the capital.

You would think that something as horrible as the Hunger Games would be abolished once the rebels took over. No. Katniss thinks it's the children of the capital's fault that she had to suffer.

I just don't get it.

Twenty for kids chosen, One comes out.

Why? What's the point now? Why are we hated ?

"Our first girl tribute, Chinzie Minsping."

Quiet throughout the crowd…

I walk to the stage.

Who didn't see that coming?
