District 1 Reapings

Gemma Cantworth, 16, D1

I slipped on my shoe. I was wearing a GORGEOUS blue dress with matching shoes. I had my hair down. My hair is strawberry blonde , and long. My outfit really made my eyes stand out. They are like an electric blue . As I finished getting ready , my mother came in. " Gemma. It's time to go. " I was about to walk out the door, my mother stopped me. "Are you forgetting something?" My mother asked. Then, she put a necklace on me. It was going to be my token. It is sort of small, and is golden. It also has a golden gem on it. She hugged me. " Good luck in there honey. I'll miss you until you come back." Me and my mother exchanged a few more words, then I left. While I was walking, I looked back at Victor's Village. My mother had won the Games not to long ago. We are one of the richest families in the district. At last, I was there. I was quickly ushered into my section. A few minutes later, the escort, Hadrian Galloway, started to talk about the games.

After a couple minutes of Hadrian talking, she had some Avox bring her the reaping bowl. It had tons of colored cards in it. Suddenly, I remembered my second reaping. I was 13. All of my friends were talking to me, same as now, although I'm not paying attention right now. But I was then. When I wasn't expecting it, my name was quickly after that, I was replaced. But honestly, it scared me. But today, I was ready. I stopped my daydream and watched Hadrian. She announced the name . " Phox Fairbain!" I had to be quick. I yelled at the top of my lungs. " I volunteer!" The boy who was reaped glared at me. He was not happy, but of course he was going to be replaced. I smiled. Then Hadrian looked at me. " What's your name, sweetie? " I said it as loud as I could. " Gemma Cantworth. " There were gasps all over the place. They knew that my mother had been victor. I ran onto the stage. Hadrian smiled and raised my hand. " Everyone, your tribute for District 1, Gemma Cantworth! "

I got onto the train to the capital. All my friends visited me, but honestly I didn't really care. Then my mom visited me. But nothing really happened, just said our goodbyes. The train ride was lonely, me being the only tribute. I held my necklace in my hands. I kept thinking about the games. After a while, I fell asleep, with my necklace still in my hands.
