Finally! The final two reapings!
I'm going to skip straight to the reapings, I'll be able to start train rides faster *dances*
3rd person POV
The escort pulled out a name and read it aloud 'Roslynn Miriani!'
There were mixed reactions from everyone. Roslynn's reaction was simple. Terrified, scared. She thought she was safe! Her name is in there once, because of the twist and that she's past the age of 18. She put on a look of confidence and walked up to the stage. The entire time thinking 'Why?'
Her brother, Tex, wanted so badly to volunteer, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Her mother was crying her eyes out, begging people to volunteer when the escort asked for volunteers.
Her dad, however, couldn't care less.
Terron Flick's POV
The girl looks very confident being up there, I bet it's just a facade though.
'Terron Flick!'
Was that my name? No, it couldn't have been.
Nevermind, two peacekeepers are inching in on me, so it was my name. I smirk, I need to act like I'm happy to have been reaped. I walk on stage and smile at my district partner.
No one volunteers for me. I'm dead.
'Happy hunger games! And may the odds be ever in your favour!'
3rd Person POV the goodbyes
Terron's mom cried the entire time, and his baby sister was very confused and kept saying "Ga ga?'
Terron tried not to cry, but his throat began to burn and his eyes became red. Especially after they left.
Roslynn had very similar goodbyes.
Her brother told her all sorts of strategies for the games, and gave her a hug and told her many other encouraging things.
Her mother cried the entire time, telling her to be brave and that she'll be routing for her. Her dad just stood there, not caring, not even saying anything.
Her 2 friends Karson and Stef came in. Stef hugged Karson and told her to try to win. Karson gave her a token. A pin with a flower on it. He hugged her and kissed her on the forehead before he was forced to leave.
District 12 Reapings (A/N-Finally!)
Aphrodite Undersee's POV
I clutched onto my best friend Melissa Hawthorne's hand. The escort pulled out the paper and-
'Aphrodite Undersee!'
Everyone went quiet, that's my name. I'm the mayor's daughter and I've been reaped.
I begin to cry, and I notice my parents begin to cry as well. Melissa looks confused as I walk on stage.
No volunteers for me, and I begin to cry even more.
'Jiy Monuel!' she calls out.
The screen shows a very old man, very old. Possibly over the age of 100.
Another old man yells out, his voice is very croaky and hoarse 'I volunteer for Jiy!'
He hobbles to the stage, a cane holding him up. 'I volunteer,' he repeated.
'Wonderful! What is your name?'
'Jenk Ags,' he replies.
'Congrats to the both of you, happy hunger games, and may the odds be ever in you favour!'
Jenk Ags POV the goodbyes
My entire family is dead, so the only person who comes in is my friend Jiy. He looks like he's already been crying.
He hugs me and sits down. It's very silent, but we are both crying. When he's told to leave we continue to cry. We may be very old, but we do cry.
I stare at my token, the bracelet I made when Jiy and I were still kids. It says "Jiy and Jenk: Best friends forever!"
That has never changed.
Aphrodite Undersee's POV
Mom and dad came in crying. Mom kept telling me how much she loves me, and dad hugged me the whole time. They didn't want to leave, I didn't want them to leave me either. I still haven't quiet completely begun to understand the games...
Melissa ran in after, tears all over her face. The ponytails in her brown hair had managed to come undone. She hugged me and told me she doesn't want me to leave.
She continued to cry as the peacekeeper took her out the door.
