Edelweiss "Edel" Lonevy POV

I sit down and watch my reaping unfold before my very own eyes, Claudius Templesmith comments on all of my and my partner Flake's movements and outfits. I didn't even know he was still around, but I can't help and take note of my reaping. My Mother's dress that I wore followed the breeze as I stood on the stage, my glossy; platinum blonde was tied back so you could see my saddened face. I'm slightly surprised at the fact that I was reaped; I have never broken any rules before. I always guessed that people were reaped for a reason, because they broke the law and was not given a proper punishment, but I guess I was wrong. Flake looked more scared than me, I don't blame him the fact that all but one us is going to die is sickening but I think that if this is the punishment for the districts rebelling then so be it.

"Damn I wish I looked less scared." I turn around and Flake stood at the door shaking his head in shame.

"You look fine, I've seen much worse at a reaping. Remember last year? When that girl from five, she cracked it and went raving mad. Compared to that you composed yourself perfectly." I said without looking at him. Flake jumped over the couch and sat next to me. I hate the fact he could have just do that, just disobey the rules. We watch the other Reapings in silence, we were shocked that the singer from Collide had been reaped and this 12 year old girl named Howl volunteered I have only seen three Reapings and I'm already scared. Flake only looks interested, he turned around and faced me and said,

"Hey, I'm heading back to my room; I'll see you at dinner." I jumped over the couch again and walked away. I look at the tributes who already been chosen, I just know that this year's Hunger Games are going to be unexpected.

Flake Speare POV

I sit back down on my bed and look around my room, the capitol put in fairy lights around my room and little gizmos. It was nice touch I guess, but if I look outside I see clear sunny skies unlike the cold, grey skies of District Three. I try not to think about the other tributes, they look deadly well they are careers and I just hope I won't run into them.

"Dinner is being served, please come and join us!" Our escort Clarity squeaked, I followed her to a table filled with decedent foods, I haven't seen so much food before in my entire life, Edel seems unamused by it all. I sit down and pig out on what the Capitol has to offer before I die,

"Now before we start to eat more, would you like tell me some of you weaknesses and strengths? What I would like to do is try to bring the best out of you." Our mentor Abby calmly suggests, Edel was the first to speak up,

"Well I'm good at hiding and I'm quite agile." Edel answers while quietly playing with her food, Abby smiles at Edel and looks over at me,

"Well, what about you, Flake?" she asks once again

"I'm great with hand to hand combat as well as knives. Also I can identify plants to." I answer to her she smile but then I ask her,

"Abby, do you know what the Quarter Quell is this year? I don't have a television at home and I haven't heard about it from anywhere else?" she shrugs her shoulders and says

"I have no clue either; President Walters said that the Quarter Quell will be revealed when all Tributes have been chosen. So what I am guessing is that is going to one interesting game." I look down at my food and first time since I was reaped I felt something different. Rebellious.

Hey guys, I hope you're enjoying the story I have few things to say. 1. I'm in a musical and its production week next week so I won't update as often but I will update none of the less and 2. I'm going to write one more reaping and one more train ride after that, I'm filling in the left over tributes with bloodbaths, and after the Reapings I'm going do the chariot rides so if you have an idea send one in because I need idea and I don't want to give you really terrible costumes. See you soon :3
