Enjoy!

District Three: Taryn Lorelai

"Taryn sweetie, it's time for you to wake up," Taryn heard her mother, Oria, say through the layers of Taryn's dreams.

In the next few seconds, Taryn's eyes kept blinking, eventually opening up for good for the day. "Eww mom, it's the day of the Reaping's, I don't want to go."

"I'm sorry sweetie, but unfortunately you have to," her mother's sad face peered at her.

"But what if I get picked?" Taryn replied, very scared. She had a very strong feeling that it would be her. It wasn't her fault though that her dad had accidentally started an electrical fire that had been the cause of death for hundreds of other men. If only those families weren't holding such a grudge, then maybe Taryn wouldn't get picked. However, the families were and had been since the day it happened. It was so bad that she even got bullied by the boys whose fathers had died in the fire. Taryn hated it and was currently living in fear of being chosen by her District.

"I'm sure you will be fine," her mother replied even though her mother knew Taryn had a good chance of being picked.

Just then, Taryn's sister screamed, "TARYN!" Taryn and her mom looked over see Kiana, who just moments ago had been lying in bed, still asleep. Now the eleven year old was sitting up with a look of pure fear on her face.

Taryn went over to her sister and tried to calm her down. "What is it honey?" Taryn asked in her sweet voice.

"I just had a nightmare and in the nightmare, you…were…chosen as to GO INTO THE GAMES…"

Just then their mother stepped into try and calm Kiana down. "I'm sure Taryn will be fine," their mom said even though she too knew in her heart that Taryn wasn't safe.

"No mom. Kiana's nightmares always come true. I'll just accept the fact that I now have a death sentence. Kiana, do you know who the boy tribute was?"

"Yes, it was that twelve year old boy who helped daddy built the invention that started the fire," Kiana stated matter-of-factly.

"No, not Zane! He's only twelve years old, he doesn't deserve this. Plus it's not his fault his dad helped our dad make an invention that was supposed to help the District," Taryn kept going on and on.

"Calm down Taryn. We all know that neither you nor Zane did anything but we can't change anybody's mind, they have already cast their vote. Plus this is part of living in one of the Districts, nobody ever gets what they want. Now how about we go and get ready for the Reaping's? Taryn pick out the prettiest clothes you have," Taryn's mom replied as calmly as she could.

"Okay mom," Taryn replied as she walked over to her small closet that she had to share with Kiana. Taryn picked out a 'pretty' blue dress and went into the bathroom. She turned on the 'shower' and got in. As there was only cold water, Taryn showered as quickly as she could, about two minutes. Once she finished she put on the dress and walked out of the small bathroom that she barely fit in.

"Girls, are you two ready to go?" Taryn's mom asked as she walked over to her daughters.

"Yes mommy, but I don't want to go," Kiana said with a sad face and tearing eyes.

Taryn hugged her sister tightly, "Yes mom we are ready. Kiana, if you don't go then you won't get to say goodbye to me."

"Fine, I'll go," Kiana replied as she wiped away her tears.

The family of three finally exited their house and made the dreaded walk to the square where the reapings always took place. On the way there, Taryn's friend, Ajani, caught up with them. "Hey Aj," the three said in unison.

"Hi Taryn, hi Kiana, hi Mrs. Lorelai, how's everything going?" she curiously asked.

"Not so good, Kiana had a nightmare and I was the one that got reaped…"

"No, that can't happen!" Aj started but was cut short when they reached the Square and the Peacekeeper's forced them to go their separate ways. Taryn signed in and walked over to where the rest of the thirteen year old girls were standing.

Just than the escort, Maria Loanes, came up and began the torture. Taryn gulped when Maria opened the envelope to read the girls name. Sadly, Kiana's nightmare did become true and quite soon both Taryn and Zane were up on the stage, shaking hands. "Ladies and gentleman, I give you your district three tributes, Taryn Lorelai and Zane Braine."

After Maria said that, they were lead into the Justice Building for their goodbyes. Of course, Taryn's mother and sister were the first to come in. Their conversation pretty much consisted of all three of them crying so much that impeded any words from being spoken.

After they were kicked out, Aj entered the room. "So your sister was right?" she asked Taryn.

"Unfortunately," Taryn replied as they hugged tightly. Aj could tell that Taryn was crying so she did her best to calm her down as much as possible. "Take care of my family please Aj." Taryn needed to make sure they'd be fine if she did die, which was very likely.

"I will," Aj replied with a forced smile as the Peacekeepers dragged her out of the room.

After Aj left, Morow entered. "Hey" Taryn said to the boy she had liked for a long time.

"Hi Taryn, I want you to know that I will miss you. Please try to make it back though. Also, I'm sorry I waited until today to tell you this but I…I love you," at that moment Morow leaned in and gently kissed Taryn's lips.

Taryn smiled as she kissed him back but unfortunately didn't have enough time to say "I love you too," before the Peacekeepers came barging in and forced them apart.

Taryn was done with her goodbyes and she started to cry more. Taryn really wished the District hadn't of chosen her but like her mom said, it was life. She was officially a tribute in the Games, and nothing would change that.

District Five: Edison Schultz

Edison had just woken up when he heard his sister, Lucy, knocking on his door. "Come in," he yelled. He was too lazy to actually get up and open the door, so he was really hoping it was open. Since Lucy managed to get in without much force, it was clear the door was unlocked. "What's up sis?" he asked with a worried expression.

Lucy had a sad face on her face and Edison really started to worry. Tears started to come down her face as she barely made out the words, "W-hat if you g-et re-aped?"

Edison hugged his sister tightly. He couldn't believe that she had even said those dreaded words. She was only eleven years old and already knew what today was and that he had a chance of dying. In fact, he had a high chance considering everybody hated his father, who was the mayor of the District. "Don't worry Lucy, I'm sure everything will be okay," he calmly said, even though he knew he couldn't promise it.

Just then, their father entered the room and started to speak, "Hey kids, I'm sorry but I have to head over to the Square and get ready for the reaping's. I'll see you two there. Until then, how about you go get ready?"

"Okay dad," both kids replied in unison as their dad walked away. They never even got to ask him if they thought Edison would get picked. That meant they would dread the next few hours.

They decided to listen to their dad though, and the two of them walked out of Edison's bedroom to find their mother. "MOM!" Edison yelled, a few seconds later she appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes Edison?" their mom replied as she picked up Lucy. Lucy was very light and only got heavy if you were holding her for a while.

"I need to go get ready and you said last night you'd help Lucy get ready."

"I will, you go. I have Lucy."

"Thanks mom," and with that Edison walked back into his bedroom to pick out a nice outfit, Everybody in the District thought him and his family had all the good stuff just because their dad was the mayor. Well the thing was, he still suffered just as much as the other kids. For example, his clothes were no better and he ended up picking a white shirt that had a big stain on it, along with black pants.

With his outfit decided on, it was time for him to shower in his so called shower that pretty much provided only cold water. Luckily, Edison had gotten used to the cold water but he still didn't linger long as he knew the rest of the family would be angry if he used all the water. After all, cold water was better than no water.

After Edison showered, he walked back into his bedroom to get dressed. He still had a little bit more time so he lay on his semi-comfy bed and read a comic.

It didn't last long before Lucy came into his bedroom a few minutes after he started reading the comic. Edison looked up at his energized sister, who was also all ready for the reaping's. Annoyingly and a little rudely, Edison spoke, "What is it Lucy?"

Lucy looked scared and now Edison felt bad. He quickly hopped off of his bed and picked her up. "I'm sorry Lu. It's just that I wanted some alone time, but since you're worried about me getting reaped, I'll let you bug me, but just this once." He gave her a wink to let her know he was joking about the last part.

A smile quickly appeared on Lucy's face as their mom walked over to them. "I'm sorry Edison. Lucy was just really excited to see you."

"Don't worry about it, mom. Oh and she looks really pretty in her white dress," Edison tickled his sister. Lucy laughed and wiggled but Edison wouldn't let her go.

"Okay, that's enough joking around but how about we head off to the reapings? We don't want to miss your dad's speech."

They all laughed, knowing that their dad was silly when it came to saying that speech.

"Okay let's go," Edison walked over to the door, still holding Lucy. Their mom followed and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Square. Since their dad was the mayor of the District, their house was very close to the center of town. This meant that it was only about a three minute walk.

Once they made it there, Edison looked around to see a big crowd of people making their way to the Square. "I'm going to go sign in," Edison said as he gently put Lucy on the ground.

"See you later," Edison's mother replied as she took Lucy and walked away.

He quickly signed in and hurried over to the seventeen year old;s section. As he was walking over there, Edison looked around to try and find his dad, who he eventually found up on the stage preparing. Edison smiled to him, but received a frown back. He didn't understand why his dad was frowning until Edison bumped into his all-time enemy, Theodore.

"Watch where you are walking idiot," were the harsh words that Theodore angrily said. In the next moment, Theodore pushed down Edison, before quickly hurrying away. Sure Edison was mad, but there was nothing he could do. Theodore was a whole lot stronger than he was so Edison just got up and walked over to his section. The only difference was that this time he looked to see where he was going.

Right when Edison made it to his proper roped in area, his father began with his yearly talk. The speech went quickly and Edison smiled as his dad. He was proud of his dad and loved him so much. Edison would never in a million years wish for a different father.

The escort, Lydia Bancok, soon came up. She was new this year and was way too cheerful for Edison's taste. So he tuned her out as the girl tribute was read. Edison didn't know the fourteen year old girl that made the dreaded walk up to the stage and suddenly became curious as to why she was picked as the tribute.

The time came too soon before the boy tribute was revealed. Edison had forgotten all about him possibly being picked until now. Lucy was right and his name rang through his ears as he walked up to the stage. He looked over at his dad, who looked very sad, he knew why though.

Lydia paid no attention though and once Edison reached the stage, she continued on. "District Five I give you Noelle Coltenburge and Edison Schultz as your two tributes." With that, the reaping was over and the two tributes were lead into the Justice Building for their goodbyes.

Lucy quickly ran into the room and hugged Edison tightly, their parents right behind. The four of them hugged, along with all of them saying "I love you." The only other thing that happened during the goodbye was Edison's dad giving him some useful advice.

Their time quickly ended though and Edison was lead to where Noelle and the escort were waiting. It was official; two innocent children were just condemned to die.
