Before I start the tributes' POV, I would just like to thank you all for submitting the tributes that you have. It's been a pleasure adding you guys into it, and I still have some spots open. Districts such as 5, 7, 8, 11, and 12, still have one more open spot. It surprised me on how fast these submissions went, I never expected it to be this close in less than a month. But seriously, thank you all, and I'm gonna make this a great SYOT with many twists and a maybe even a surprise ending. I'll see what I can do. Besides that, enjoy the chapter guys, see you at the end!

Allius Louise Dane

I love drawing. It's something that just makes me feel... great! I flip through my sketchbook and look at all the drawings that I've made. I look at the beginning of when I first started to how I've improved on my skills. I remember when I didn't draw and used to be cocky. I was a snobbish young girl who got into an incident that changed me forever. I would not like to speak of her name, or what happened. I just know that I've changed because of it.

I walk down to the kitchen of my large house. I was born to a wealthier family that was relative to this district. They now live in 1, but I'm still here. That's no problem with me because we're one of the wealthiest families in district 3. I only wish that my parents knew that I existed. My mothers name is Grace Dane, and my fathers is Maxwell Dane. My father is well connected to the Capitol, and my mother. Well, I don't really know what she does to be completely honest.

''Mother, father, how is your morning so far?'' I ask politely trying to get their attention. My parents really don't ever recognize me. I don't remember the last time that we've even spoken, but I know that it was a while ago. They're both drinking coffee and eating a well prepared breakfast that includes eggs, toasted English muffins with some peanut butter, and yogurt on the side. They didn't even bother to leave any for me. I just reach into the middle and take one. My parents continue to chat with each other and completely ignore me. I walk straight out the door while biting the muffin.

I think about the reapings that will be placed today. I start to remember the past victor of district 3. We've only gotten one so far, and this person was smart. She was a great thinker and knew how to manipulate her fellow tributes. Funny thing was that her partner died second in the cornucopia by getting his neck sliced by the district 2 female who was skilled with a knife and ax that game. It ended up being six careers and three other tributes. One from six, one from nine, and one from five all teamed up to kill her. Wow, can you imagine that? One tribute defending herself against nine other tributes? The careers, and districts six, nine, and five all going after one tribute. I was twelve when those games happened, it scared me having to watch her on television fending off against nine other tributes. In my opinion, she has had the most impressing win... So far. She ran into the six male and five male who she tricked into killing each other. She spoke about how they were partners at first and split up and how they they planned on killing each other as soon as they found a way to join the career pack. They both eventually were wounded by each other as she made her way up to stab them both in neck to steal their kills.

From then on, it was easy for her to kill the other tributes. She had five of the nine kills, and did them all swiftly. Those five kills were her only kills as well. Once the faces in the night lit up, the district 2 pair were pissed off as well as the ones from one because they wanted her gone and betray each other. The tribute from one had a weapon in his hand and accidentally stabbed his district partner in her forehead by swinging from his frustration. The knife went straight to her brain and she died in an instant. The boy from one quickly got up then and ran away from the pair from two and the girl from nine. After that, the girl from nine chased after him as well as the pair from four did. The girl from three watched them all completely destroy the boy from one but he didn't die. They left him to die of blood loss, and the girl from three slit the girl from nines throat as well as the boy from fours. The boy from one died later that night of blood loss.

The career alliance pretty much broke off from there when they saw the faces in the night sky. The two from two attacked the girl from four who got the kill on the boy from two, but she forgot about the girl from two. She quickly stabbed the girl in her throat with an ax, and there were two left. It was all plain easy for the girl from three to win, her predictions were on point. What a great thinker she was. The 16 year old thinker from 3 with an amazing way to pull off the victory.

After I finished day dreaming, I threw away my half eaten muffin and sat on the grass to draw more in my sketchbook. I started drawing the Hunger Games. I put a male from 3 standing on top of the careers dead bodies with one foot and a sword in his hand while he's yelling the word 'victory'. Another winner from 3 would be nice because we'd show the capitol that we're not just their electronic factory, but also a winning district. Who knows, maybe this year will be our year. I drew at least three of those drawings, and I heard whirling noises. I looked up and as soon as I did, I saw the capitol hovercraft making it's way over to the center of my district. I knew what was happening, so I went there earlier than anyone else. I got my finger once I arrived and just stood there looking around. I look around and find someone that I met a while back. Her name is Angelica Nox. She's 16, and I met her on my 16th birthday last year. She's my only friend, and I love her. During my 16th birthday, she took me out to the park for a private picnic. We ended up kissing, and that shaped us to who we are now. We see each other in secret, and we're fear of being found out is strengthening our bond.

''Ally! You forgot to meet me at 'Technological Park.' I was waiting for you there, but you never showed up. Is everything okay?'' Angelica runs up to me.

''Yeah! I'm sorry, I was day dreaming for most of this morning, and I was drawing. Wanna see?'' I ask quietly.

''Definitely. Your drawings always impress me, and I'm forward to seeing more after the reapings are over.'' She smiles.

''Oh definitely. I'll draw one of you and I after this reapings.'' I said as I showed her my drawings made this morning.

''Beautifullllll!'' She said holding out the L.

''Thank you.'' I giggle.

Angelica holds my face and kisses me slowly. I kiss her back, but its a quick kiss. I've been told that I'm attractive by many boys, but it's awkward for them when I reject them. Nobody can know about Angelica any I. If I was ever in the games, I would probably have to let everything go before I could start. I'd probably just yell it out on top of the pedestal. I doubt that I'd get reaped though. Only two more years before I don't have to have to worry about these games anymore. Though, I don't want Angelica to get reaped, that would break my heart. Luckily the games this year are when your district chooses you. No one will vote for Angelica and I. I have some skills with swordplay, but it's nothing serious that anybody besides Angelica has seen.

I turn my head and see a girl staring straight at me. Her piercing eyes and looking into my soul and I just start to shiver. I have a bad feeling about her, and then I realize that I had conflict with her before. It's the girl who I had that incident with who shaped me to who I am now. I was an obnoxious little girl, and Angelica was as well. In fact, she still is. That's one difference between us, I've been shaped out of that obnoxious attitude, but Angelica's still the same. That's what makes her who she is, and I love her just the way she is.

Our escorts come out and starts to speak. ''Ally! I love what you're wearing to these reapings. Your outfit looks gorgeous honey, just gorgeous.'' Angelica looks in awe. ''A plain blue blouse with a knee length white skirt as well as a pair of white dress shoes? You look magnificent baby! Your hair is tied in a ponytail, WITH A FLOWER PINNED ON IT? OH MY GOSH YOU'RE ADORABLE!''

People turn and look at us, and Angelica tells them all to turn around. They all sigh and I start to giggle as the video is playing. ''Your hazel eyes are beautiful, Ally.'' Angelica says once more as I actually focused on the video.

''Thanks, I love you, you know that?'' I ask smiling.

''Of course. What would we do without each other?'' Angelica laughs.

The video is over, and district 3's escort pulls out the one envelope in the girls bin. ''Allius Louise Dane.'' She says out loud.

Wow, Allius. I hate that name to be honest, I would prefer for her to go by the name Ally. I feel bad for her though because being in the games is gonna be a living hell. I mean, she was voted for a reason though right- WAIT, I'M ALLIUS! I'M THE GIRL WHO'S NAME WAS JUST CALLED. I turn with my mouth wide open at Angelica who just looks down onto the floor. I'm frozen, but some people push me out into the aisle. I start to walk slowly, but Angelica grabs my hand and tries to pull me back.

''I have to go..'' I whisper in a weak voice.

''I know, but I don't want you to.'' Angelica frowns.

''Come on, I promise that I'll be back. This 5'5 girl will do wonders, and I'll become district 3's second victor.'' I smile to cheer her up.

''You promise?'' She starts to cheer up a little.

''Yes!'' I smile again.

As I look around at this crowd, I know that I wouldn't trust anyone here besides Angelica. I see the girl who I got into an incident with. I'm just wondering why did everybody choose me? Why? I might be skilled with a sword, but that's no reason to choose me. It's all the capitols fault, they probably rigged these games. Ugh, and all these sorry people over here. They're too afraid to vote for the people they know can win easily so they just vote for the girl that's invisible to her parents. Thanks a lot, district 3 and the capitol. Screw the both of them.

''Hahaha, stop running!''

''LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU'RE A BULLY!''

''I know.'' I laugh sprinting. I quickly reach to younger child who's only 12. ''You're getting picked today for the Hunger Games and you're gonna die!''

''NOOOOOO!'' He yells. ''Missy! MISSY! MISSY HELP ME!'' I quickly shut the kid up with a headbutt, and tell him to be quiet. As I hold him up by his collar, he seems as if he's joking.

''Your sister is going to find you here.''

''I DON'T WANT TO DIE!'' He starts to cry.

I burst out into laughter and throw the child onto the floor. ''HAHA, YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR FACE.'' I'm dying at this point and can't catch my breath. You know that moment when you laugh way too much and your stomach starts hurting? Well that was me at this moment. The kid quickly got up and ran and I chased him all the way home while still laughing.

''MISSY!'' He says while tripping onto gravel. The boy had a mouth full of dirt and I was just done. Oh wow, I love bullying these weakling children. I know that district three won't have another victor for at least ten more years to come, we're just not that well skilled. The boy quickly got up and opened his front door. His sister quickly came out with a frying pan and threw it at me as I quickly ducked.

''Stop bullying my little brother!'' She says grinning her teeth. ''Why should I? It's so much fun to tease his poor puny self.'' I hold my stomach.

''I feel bitterness for you. You really need help.'' She says picking up her pan and walking back inside.

''CAN I KEEP THE PAN?'' I yell out.

''SHUT UP YOU OBNOXIOUS BRAT.'' She's angered by my words.

I just stay there looking at their door and laughing my butt off. I can't help it, it's just so stress relieving to bully these young ones. I want to see one of them in the Hunger Games one of these days. It would be a great, and I mean great games.

I get back home and look at my hair; It's pale blond. I'm looking at the rest of my appearance, and I fix up something I didn't do when I got up. My grey-blue eyes are awesome, I just love it haha. I have some pretty thick eyebrows and long eyelashes but it doesn't bother me. I look up at the ceiling of my room. Buildings and electronics were painted up there.

As I walk into my parents room to find something that I'm missing, I see photos of us. We're a pretty wealthy family, but my parents are never home. My mom and dad are both 50 years old, and we share some similarities. My father and I both have grey-blue eyes, and my mother has pale blond hair like I do. Both of them are serious and business-like. I wish that I could hang out with them more, but I can't.

I lose my train of thought and have no idea what I was looking for, and I realize that it's time for the reapings. It's 7:50 and I need to get there by 8. I rush out of my house, and I'm one of the last people there. I got my finger pricked and everybody just looks at me as if I'm a bad person. I smile and wave at everybody and go to my group. I don't see these kids as friends, they're just the ones who I boss around.

''Hey! You guys ready for these games?'' I laugh while punching Josh, an 18 year old in his arm.

They all stay quiet and Josh rubs his arm. ''What's the matter with you guys? Are you mad about something?'' I ask not really paying attention to the video. They all stay quiet and continue to ignore me. I just then remembered that I forgot my favorite leather wrist watch. I hurry out of the isle and everybody stares at me as I try to run back home. That's what I was looking for this whole time, and I forgot about it. As I'm running home, I turn to see peacekeepers chasing. ''STOP RUNNING!'' One yells while firing his gun to give me a warning.

I continue to run and enter my home. I quickly lock the door and look for my watch. I can't find it any where. I dig my nails on top of my head and can't find it anywhere. I soon remember that I placed it under my pillow before I went to sleep. I quickly get it, and I'm walking towards my door. As soon as I open it, peacekeepers break the side windows of my house trying to get in. I quickly open the door and run out while they chase after me. I quickly make my way into the crowd and lose the guards by bumping into everybody in the boys section. Every time that I would bump into someone, they would push me away in different directions which really helped.

I just quickly stopped, and saw a girl walking up to the stage. It was the girl who you would never find without a sketchbook. She was always drawing and I used to make fun of her for it. She's part of a wealthy family just like I am. I've only spoken to her three times, and they were all to make fun of her. I begin to laugh out loud. Everybody turns at me.

''WHAT ARE YOU ALL STARING AT? THIS IS HILARIOUS.'' I begin to laugh even louder.

''Oh shut up!''

''You're so loud!''

''Nobody likes you!''

''You bully, go die!''

''Obnoxious asshole!''

I hear all these people yelling these hurtful words out. I dislike being made fun of, especially like this where they all gang up on you to make you feel bad. Our escort continues on and picks up the one envelope from the boys bin. ''Why is there only one envelope in the bin?'' I ask my neighbor and receive no answer. ''Why is there only one?'' I shout out this time.

''You really do not pay attention do you? This year is where the districts get to choose who they want to participate in these games. I know who I voted for...'' A guy sticks his tongue out at me.

''Who'd you vote for?'' I start to sweat.

''You!'' A ton of voices say in unison.

I don't care, I know that I'm not gonna get picked. Plus, somebody will probably volunteer for me, right? I know that someone will. Hmph, I'd probably win these games anyway. I'd love to pick on the tiny kids that will be in my way. I know for a FACT that none of them will be superior than I am, so I don't care either way.

''Gabe Kenton.'' The escort says.

I stare around as people cheer and laugh. I make my way up, speed walking up to the group of kids that I boss around. ''Volunteer!'' I grit my teeth. ''What?'' Josh asks. ''VOLUNTEER FOR ME. If neither of you volunteer for me now, I won't boss you around as much.''

''No!'' The youngest of us, Kyle says.

''OH WHEN I GET BACK! When I get back... you're next on my list. I won't just bully you, I'm gonna make your life miserable kid. Wait for me, it's gonna be hell for you from now on.'' I let go of Kyle and walk up to the stage. People are whistling and laughing and clapping. I look around and I start to smile.

''Center of attention right here baby!'' I yell out.

Everybody stops clapping and cheering and just stare at me. ''YEAH! LOOK AT ME! Haha, I'll win one for you all and I'll come back even better than ever!'' I yell out. I clap for myself and cheer and my partner and escort both stare at me.

I grab my partners hand and hold it up while screaming ''Whoo!'' She rips her hand away and says ''Don't touch me!''

''Are you mad?'' I ask while she just rolls her eyes. I want to team with her in these games, and when we're low on tributes, I'm gonna ditch her. I'm gonna ditch her quickly and let her die on her own. I'm totally gonna win these games.

''You look confident, why?'' She asks me.

''Because I'm gonna win.'' I roll my eyes at her.

''You swear..'' She starts to laugh. ''You know that nobody will like you right? Your bullying ways will make people want to kill you first, and you won't get any partners. Plus, they probably won't tolerate your bullying. I doubt that anyone's gonna let you push them around.''

''And I should care why...?'' I ask her.

She just shrugs and stays quiet. Both her and I head into the justice building and I wait for all the people who are going to run in here and want to talk to me. When I get back from winning these games, I'm gonna charge them all money for my autograph.

Woop! I thank both of the people who submitted tributes for district 3. It was fun writing both of their POVs. I love all the tributes that people are submitting. I haven't seen tributes like this before to be honest, I guess it's because I haven't read that many SYOTs but I'm getting there. I really enjoy writing these tributes' POVs and I wonder which one of you guys will win. I'm still pondering because you all have great tributes. Questions.

Did you enjoy this chapter?

What did you like about it?

Any critiques that you think will make me improve?

Who's your favorite out of these two?

Why do you like them better?

Who do you think is going to make it further and why?

That's all for now, I don't know when I'll upload district 4's reapings, but I plan on it being soon. Anyway, thank you guys for reading and I hope that you have a wonderful day. :)
