Her hand went back into the bowl of girls and pulled out another slip. She walked to the microphone prepared to announce another name when she did a double take at the name. "Eclipse Flickerman" Effie announced with a somber tone. Now I get it. Eclipse Flickerman. I heard gasps around the crowd as people made way for the girl. From what I knew of the girl she wouldn't hurt a fly. She was a sweetheart who was in my grade-13 but acted like a toddler at times. She had bright bubble gum hair and rosy cheeks. Her outfit of the day matched her hair and you could see the artificial in her smile. I have known her for years but never liked her. She was smart and had so much potential and yet acted like a child all the time. When she wasn't galavanting around town trying to gain the approval of her dad who always seemed to busy charming citizens of the capital to care about her she was with her cat Stewert. Him I did like. Stewert the cat was like a mascot for our school. I almost laughed to myself as I thought back to the ridiculous things that cat would do and we would find amusing. I felt a blush come to my cheeks when I heard a high pitched "Lily Lily" I looked up to see the face of the one and only Eclipse. I was about to ask what was happening until she offered me the cat that was in her hands. Who brings a cat to a reaping? I asked myself but when I saw the peacekeepers starting to come towards us I gave her a nod and an unintentional look of a pitty as I took the cat from her. With that, she rushed up onto the stage where Effie proceded to ask the mentors who would volunteer. No one could hold back a look of superise when the one and only Katniss everdeen stood up and walked to the Flickermangirl. Katniss gave Peeta a reassuring look and Eclipse a small smile before Effie continued.

"Zelda Death" she cleared her throat "My goodness, where are you darling?" I tried to scan the crowd for the girl but no one moved until a large laugh came from the 18-year-old section. "Ive been waiting for this moment sence I could walk "She chuckled. I couldnt quite remember her but something about her sharp jawline and ashy black hair terified me. Not to mention that her name litterly has the word "Death" in it. When she had made her way up to the stage one of the district 2 victors Enobaria was waiting. I guess we have settled who was going to mentor her. After Zelda shook Enobarias hand and was in line she looked up to the sky and said "How you like me now dad." she looked into the camera next and said "You too mom." That's who she was! Casper Death was the head of all weaponry in the capitol. If something was violent he was asociated with it. in charge of all of the bombings and bloodshed caused by this war he probably raised his daughter simalarly until he died by one of his own traps. I think her mother abandoned her as well when she was younger. The poor girl, she looked happy enough now though. I couldnt help the shiver that ran down my spine when once more I saw her menacing smile.

When I was thinking Effie called another name Robin Lushen, Esters friend. A former district 8 male shook Robins' hand and took his place as her mentor. Effie moved back to the bowl. Just like every time she did this my breath caught in my chest. "Lily Snow" she announced. I slowly let out the air I had been holding in. I tried to fight back the tears that were pricking at my eyes with the logic that I knew this would be coming but I couldn't help as one tear escaped. I quickly wiped it knowing that I would be on TV, I bowed my head knowing how many people at their homes were probably celebrating my inevitable death. When I walked up to the stage I snuck a glance at Tommy his face was tensed up in a mix of anger and grief. When I finally got on stage Effie approached me I was still so stunned she had to grab my upper arms and physically put me in my place. I faintly heard her ask "Now, who wants to mentor this young girl." I quickly heard an "I will" and everyone in the crowd and on stage was taken aback. I quickly figured out why When Petta Melark Stood at my left side. "But why?" I asked him "You helped me once its the least I can do" I felt another tear run down my face "You remember that" I'm a backer I'd never forget a good piece of bread" He joked I chuckled but was soon lost in my own world of thoughts as Effie continued naming the remaining 7 female tributes.

Peeta still remembered me from a bit of food a long time ago? I should have done more and I've always known that but it is kind of great that he appreciated that one thing. He and Katniss were extremely successful in the capitol if anyone could get me to help with sponsors it was them maybe with their help I could get Thomas and me out just like they did in the 74th games. But how would we even get through the bloodbath, or not starve to death? Could they help us make it through the games without having to kill anyone? Because I'm not sure if either of us is capable of that. Would Katniss want to help me? I know a lot of people hate but maybe if Peeta talked to her she could see I'm not as bad as I come across? I don't know. I just really hope they will help because whether I make it out with him or not Thomas will come out of those games alive

Right on cue "Thomas Ronesby", He walked on to stage with s slight smirk and he was waving at the crowd there was loud applause. When we walked past me he quickly grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. When he made it to his spot Finnick Odair walked to his side and shook his hand. The Golden Boy himself nice work Tommy. (AN: I know Finnick is dead but I really wanted him alive for this story so let's just pretend k(: cool)

When the reaping was finally over I was escorted to one of the many rooms of the justice building. I sat alone for a while because I had no friends or family that weren't dead or in a fight to the death, but soon enough two figures came through the door.

Peeta and Katniss sat on the couch opposite to mine. We sat for a while no one saying anything until Katniss turned to Peeta "Have you two met?" she asked. "Briefly" he responded. "When I was being held by snow she snuck in one night and gave Annie and I food, I was this close to starving," he said while gesturing with his fingers. "She saved my life" Katniss turned to me "Thank you so much" I smiled at her. There was a beat of uncomfortable silence until I spoke up "Katniss, can I ask you something?" she nodded "Why did you choose Eclipse?" It's not that I had anything actually against Eclipse I just couldn't really understand, Katniss and she seemed like polar opposites. The girl on fire seemed hesitant "I'm going to die in a week, indulge me" I added. She sighed "When I saw Eclipse with that cat it reminded me of my sister Prim. I just thought she could use some help and maybe I could save her" I have a slight smile. Peeta looked down at his watch "we have to be getting to the training center, are you ready?" I looked up to him.

"Not at all. Let's go"

Yay! we see Kat and Peeta! Thanks again for the reviews and the characters!
