A/N: I need more people to send in SYOTs. I'm going to split Annie, who I'm going to be calling Dylan, watching the District recaps up for the time being, anytime I get one sent in, I'll try to write a chapter about her watching them. So far I've had one, so without anymore interruptions, here's the D1 reaping, so please don't send in D1 tributes, the male is an auto bloodbath tribute now.
After dinner we have to watch the reaping recaps. District One goes first, then we have a 5 minute break until District Two and so on. I expect everyone there to look their finest and their escort to be the prettiest, they happen to be the richest district after all.
I was right, their escort is prettier than Jewel, it goes through the same protocol to start the reaping as ours did. Their mayor finally brings out the reaping balls. Their escort is still talking, god will she ever shut up.
When she finally shuts up, she walks over to the girls ball. "Ladies first," Same as Jewel, I'm starting to wonder if they have the same script, just improvising when it gets to the name they pull out. "Skyla Heart!" She says over-enthusiastically.
Skyla is very pretty, a typical District One girl from what I've seen on what little TV time we get. Her wavy light blonde hair blowing in the breeze. When she gets up to the stage, they ask for volunteers, but when people try to volunteer, she just says, "No. I understand I was chosen for the games. I will not have anyone volunteer for me. Thanks anyway everyone." My mouth flies open. They do a close up on her face, she has stunning green eyes like the town kids back home. She looks like she's about 16. She's skinny, but not too skinny. She has on a beautiful light blue dress. The dress falls just past her knees. She also has on some light blue flats. She looks gorgeous, she looks sort of like this music star from before Panem, I think her name was Haley Williams. I think it's just the face though. She actually reminds me from a town girl back home. She has a soft smile on her face, but I can see the slight fear in her eyes. She looks tough none the less, but only one thing registers in my mind. I want this girl as an ally.
They've already picked the boy. He looks about 13 or 14. He's nothing special, no one I'd want as an ally. I don't even care to know his name. He'd tie me down, and hold me back. All I know is that I will win these games, with Alex, and hopefully Skyla by my side. Let's hope my knife throwing skills will suffice, and I better hope Skyla can hunt, or that she has a special talent that will help us. Or that she'll join an alliance with people from the outlying districts. That recap is over, and I realize I'm still in my reaping dress. I run during the 5 minute intermission so I can change. I change into a purple skirt and a white lace top. Nothing too special. I grab another red velvet cupcake and sit down. I take my hair out of the braid I had it in for the reaping, put it back up in it's normal bun, and take a bite of my cupcake. Just in time for the District Two reapings.
The girl from District Two looks more like me. She has darker hair than me, and I can't help but notice that she's wearing a similar dress, it's exactly the same, except that it's black, but she has on heels instead of my black converse. She also has her hair in the same braid that I just did. I barely heard her name, I think it's Nichole. I don't really want her as an ally, but if Skyla doesn't want to be my ally, I might ask Nichole. When they do her close up, she has eyes so blue that it's scary, but they're amazing. If I was going to play adorable for my interview, there's no way now. Her and Skyla combined are more adorable or cute than I ever have or will be.
The District Two boy though, all I know is that I'm terrified. His name is Orion. He has black hair, and from the close up they showed, I can tell that he has darker eyes than me. My eyes are white compared to his, that's how dark. It scared me to say, I have a feeling he's going to win, there's no doubt in my mind he is tough enough. He looks like he was a soldier, whether a Capitol or Rebel soldier, I don't know. Probably not the latter. He volunteered anyway.
A/N: I hope this longer chapter suffices you guys. I made up the District Two tributes. Skyla I got from someone who actually sent me a SYOT. I need more tributes to post more reaping recaps. Send them in. Please? Pretty please? With a Mockingjay pin on top?
Love always, the Mockingjay with Nightmares3
