Just got a District 2 male so I can write this now...
Let's go!
Sunset Rose
Age 13
District 2 Female
I wake up and hop out of bed, energized, before I remember what today is.
It's Reaping day.
Oh well, Theo is too old, Lief is too young and Flow is only in there once this year.
My name is in there twice, so we should be fine.
I pull out a white dress patterned with sunflowers and licks my lips, as I walk down the stairs I look down the hallway, my room is directly across from the stairs, my parents are to my left, as well as Theo being one door over, Flow is the next door to my right, and Leif is right after her.
Suddenly a door creaks open from my left, Father is up.
I turn to look at him, father is in a black suit and tie.
My older brother Theo comes out in a white dress shirt and grey pants, he looks at me with a slightly worried expression, and I sigh.
"I won't get Reaped, and besides, there will be a volunteer for me anyway."
Father frowns.
"Didn't you hear? The female volunteer broke her leg last night, whoever gets Reaped is going to the games." I gasp and then shrug.
"It's not like it'll be one of us, I mean Flow is twelve and I'm thirteen, that's three out of thousands."
Theo sighs.
"Let's just have some breakfast."
The three of us journey downstairs and Father starts breakfast as we wait for Flow and Leif, soon enough the last word members of our family walk downstairs.
Leif is in an adorable small brown tux, and Flow is wearing a navy blue dress.
"You look so pretty." Father smiles at us. "Your mother would've been proud."
I nod Mother had died giving birth to Leif, so Father was left to take care of us alone, at least he had Theo to help.
The five of us eat in silence after that, then we head out to town square where the Peacekeepers take our blood and we each go to our sectors.
Our escort ,Victoria Price, takes the stage and smiles.
"Welcome to the Reaping!" She smiles, showing off ivory teeth. "Now let's watch an inspirational video and get to it!"
I don't pay attention to the video, but I see Flow watch with slight attention.
After the video ends Victoria walks to the girls' bowl and pulls out a name.
"Flow Rose!"
She reads, I gasp, I know my sister would die out there so I quickly race up.
"I volunteer as tribute!" I shout, Victoria smiles.
"Well, then, what's your name dear?"
"Sunset Rose." I reply, Victoria smiles.
"I bet that was your sister! Wouldn't want her to steal all the glory would you?"
I nod and watch as a young man volunteers, we shake hands and are quickly escorted to the Justice Building.
Scyllas Shale
Age 18
District 2 Male
I hop out of bed and get ready for the day, quite excited, after all, today I'm volunteering for the Hunger Games!
I throw on some Khaki pants and a white dress shirt, jogging to the kitchen.
Mother looks at my wardrobe and gives a small nod of approval that makes me glow inside.
She places breakfast, sausage and eggs, on the table and we sir down to eat as my father and brother come into the room, they join us and the family eats in silence.
"You are volunteering today?" Mother breaks the awkward silence that had befallen the table, I nod.
"Good." Father replies.
The family finishes eating and my mother goes into the line ups to take children's blood, that's right, my mother is a Peacekeeper, and my father is the head of them.
My girlfriend Minerva walks up to me.
"Good Luck!" She smiles and I kiss her.
Mother takes my blood and I head into my sector.
I look back and see my brother who my mother actually smiles at.
I'll win her love yet.
My brother kisses his newest girlfriend and goes into his own sector as Victoria starts the video and then picks a girl, who I assume is her sister volunteers in her place and Victoria reaps a blonde boy name Nickel Casteron.
"I volunteer!" I say and walk up to the stage with my chest out, I clap Nickel on the back and send him back into the crowd.
"And what's your name?" Victoria asks, teeth shining.
"Scyllas Shale." I state. Victoria nods.
"Here are your tributes Scyllas and Sunset!" The District claps for us and I get escorted by my parents into the Justice Building.
We enter a room with red walls and brown furniture as my brother Arion joins us.
"You can win this bro!" Arion smiles. "And having a Victor as my brother will totally increase my popularity!" He didn't say that, but you could tell it's what he was thinking.
"You will win." Mother tells me, Father nods.
"Yes, you will." And then my family exits.
Minerva runs into the room and hugs me.
"You can do this! I know it!" She tells me, and then gives me a necklace, it's simple, and the only charm is quartz.
"Thanks." I say and we hug until Father says times up.
Sunset Rose
Age 13
District 2 Female
I'm put into a red room and my family runs in.
"Please don't die!" Flow and Lief cry, Theo nods.
"You can win this." My father pats my shoulder. I nod.
"I know I can."
"Here." Theo takes a pin off of his jacket. It's a sunflower.
"Thanks." I say and I hug my siblings and Father until the Peacekeepers say it's time for them to go.
There we go, District 2.
Sorry the Reaping is so short, it gets kind of repetitive so yeah, that's two districts so far!
