Please check out my SYOT it is going to be awesome.


Sarr Loslay POV

"Shut up mum" I yelled down the short corridor, as usual she droned on about the stupid war that killed my Alcoholic Father, "cause I really don't give a damn" I add shortly afterwards. I am an only child and my mum as this really, really irritating boyfriend that is another jerk that drinks twenty four seven.

My mother told me that I must get dressed and eat my toast; I rarely obey her but today was to be a horrible day so I am not making it worse. Knowing my mum she just had to go into a random long lecture where my eyes were shut over half of the time. When we rebelled against the Capitol it was going great; until they bombed thirteen the nuclear powerhouse. Now that the Capitol has made each District a job for them they said that thirteen used to be Graphite miners I know this is not true but they say anyone that spreads the real truth will be hung so for the moment I'll hold my tongue. I heard bells and alarms ring; I knew what time it was.

The town square was cold as only a few people had arrived, just as I got my special injection thingy-me-bobby, my cousin Jack arrived, I just hate my family is what I thought as he dribbled a good luck to me. I ran across the town square and into the section that the few thirteen year old girls that had arrived early were standing anxiously waiting for the crowd to seep through and the reaping to begin.

The reaping was completely filled after 10 minutes and quite quickly an orange skinned Capitol man named Ren walked out of the justice building and onto the stage. There was not a voice that dared to talk and I definitely didn't change that. A jolt quickly passed through me as a video with extremely loud music started, I saw people beside me flinch as well. It came to an abrupt end and Ren took the Microphone out of the stand and began to talk into it "Welcome to the first annual hunger games, and may the odds be ever in your favor" his voice was extremely dull but I don't think I should be paying attention to that.

"I suppose we should get straight on to the girls" he says with the dull tone once again, I should be scared but for some reason I'm not.

He shoves his hand with the orange gloves into the bowl and viciously takes a slip out; this was the moment that everyone was hoping they would never have to experience.

"Sarr Loslay" he yells.

No, surely not there are thousands of people that could have been picked and I did. I decided that I had to run; run away never to be seen again there was no way that I was playing these games none at all. The wind whistled through my ear but a gunshot interrupted it, I quickly stopped and looked back at the stage and saw a peacekeeper holding a gun right where my mother used to be. I turn back round to keep running, I don't care I think I hate my mum anyway. But as I turn round another peacekeeper stops me and drags me all the way back to the stage. I walk up there petrified; if I want to stay alive I will be a murderer.

Max Kylle POV

I sat beside the fire trying to heat myself up, like I usually do on a cold morning like this but this was no normal morning this was possibly the most dreadful morning of my life, the morning of the reaping. My body ached for some reason and I felt like going back to sleep but I knew that it wouldn't happen because the reaping bells would be due to ring any minute and if I fell asleep then I could be late, and being late was not a good idea.

I heard the bells go off and me my mum, dad and twin sister rushed out the door in our best clothes. It's only because of my mum that we are ever on time for anything, the rest of us usually just slug round the house doing nothing until mum drags us to school in the morning, or in my dads case work.

The reaping was quite quiet and cold early on but as more people turned up the heat rose and finally I felt like I was going to boil. One thing that didn't change was the sound, there was the occasional whisper but otherwise as everybody assembled not a word was spoken.
Ren Gurnisher walked onto the stage and a movie began to play about the hunger games, it looks so terrifyingly horrible and I am definitely not watching it on TV, then I think what if I am actually in the Hunger games I would definitely be screwed.

He walked over to the girls bowl and a girl in my year at school was reaped, she ran ran away from the reaping as fast as her legs could carry her. I couldn't believe how dumb she was, Boom I heard a giant gun shot and jumped round seeing a 50 year old lying dead on the ground a bullet stuck through her head, the girl looked back and then turned round to carry on running when a peacekeeper grabbed her and brought her back, I tried to conceal a laugh.

"Now for the boys" said Ren excitedly, he walked over to the bowl where there would be two slips with my name.

"Max Kylle" No way I thought as I stumbled towards the stage, I blacked out.
