A.N. Salutations. This is so demanding! But it's already chapter three, and so far so good. Here goes! Reaping in district two. You can guess which game.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Cato POV

I stood in the long line, slowly approaching the table. The sun was relentless, and the wind was scarce. I wouldn't complain though, I was too focused.

It was reaping day, and I planned to represent the male tribute for my district.

This was my year. No matter who I was competing against, I would win. I would return to my district with the title of victor.

My family would move to victors village and we would have everything we could ever need.

I was snapped put of my thoughts by a quiet "Next."

I stuck out my finger and barely noticed when the pricked it. Once they had put the blood sample next to my name, I left to join the others my age.

There were a few people on the stage, which had been out up in the square.

One was the mayor, one was Brutus, one was Enobaria, and one was Liqinta Sunburst, our escort.

The reaping would begin soon, and-

"Welcome! Aren't you excited? Yes, well, it's time to begin! First the girls," Liqinta chirped.

I hadn't been paying much attention, but some tiny girl with dark hair eventually walked up to the stage.

She won't make it more than two days, I thought, cracking my knuckles.

This thought evaporated when she turned to the crowd and smirked. If the smirk was any indication, this girl might actually have some talent, or better yet, might actually be dangerous.

"Now then! Time for the boys!"

This was my only chance, I couldn't mess it up.

"Seftric Nilghermn!" Liqinta called.

"I volunteer as tribute!" I shouted at the top if my lungs.

Liqinta lolled at me and sighed. "Alright, come on up."

I began to walk up and the seas of people split in my wake.

I smirked; they were right to be afraid. I had spent my whole life training for this.

I walked up the steps and on to the stage.

"Now, shake hands," Liqinta said with a pointed look.

I turned to the girl and stuck out my hand. She grabbed it and shook. She had a good grip, she must be pretty strong.

Liqinta looked out in the crowd and said, "I give you Cato and Clove, the district two tributes for the Seventy-fourth Annual Hunger Games!"

A.N. So, I know it's short. Give me inspiration in a review. Or not. But review, okay?

Same rules apply, 25 if you liked, 19 if you didn't.

Oh, and this story has about 40 visitors, yet one review? I think you can do better than that.

R&R,
