Hello, everyone and welcome to... the 101th Hunter Games! May the odds be ever in your favor and enjoy!
RING! RING!
"Ugh..." Marie sighed and hit the snooze button on her alarm clock. She stood up and stretched. Then...
"Marie? Are you awake?" asked her grandmother, peeking into her room.
"Of course I am, Grandma." she said.
"Today's reaping day. I'll leave you to get ready."
Marie smiled and with a "I'll be down in no time!" she began to get ready.
She put on a sparkling pink dress with some silver outlines. Her shoes were silver to match. Marie decided that her hair would be out with a big pink ribbon. She silpped on a diamond ring her mother gave her when she was little. Very pretty.
Then, she walked downstairs.
"Morning, Marie." said her Grandpa.
"Morning, Grandpa!" she replied happily.
"You ready for the Reaping?"
"Yes, yes I am!" Marie grinned cheekily.
After a great breakfast, Marie went down to the District Square.
"Hi, Belle!" she said when she saw her best friend.
"Oh! Hi Marie." Belle replied.
"Do you think I'll get chosen?" Marie asked.
By this time, they were at the front of the line. "Go in." said the Peacekeeper, after pricking Marie's finger.
Marie grinned and filed in.
Soon, the square was full. The mayor gave his cheesy speech and the escort, a woman named Lilly Harins, began to pick out the names.
"Ladies first!" she sang happily. "And our female tribute is..."
Marie was totally unprepared. "Marie-Clare Opaline!"
Marie walked onto the stage. A boy, with black eyes, brown hair, and of average height was called up.
Marie looked at him and smiled. She could take him on.
