D10 TIME! Get ready for Galen and Star! Sponsor questions start this chapter, so buckle your seatbelts. (not corny at all)

Galen Ray- 18

"I got the meat Everdeen!" I say to my best friend, Everdeen.

Everdeen… Katniss Everdeen. My blood pressure feels like it is rising knowing we failed. So close.

"Good!" I hear a call back.

"That cow is huge…" he says, now in my field of vision.

"Good, we need to feed our sisters!" I yell, running.

Feeding my sister… that is a common thing for me. I do not let her go with me. She has a chance of being hurt. Star is a great sister… Mother died when she gave birth to Star. Then 10 years later, dad died, with his body not being found.

Ever since that day, I keep Star safe. I also help Everdeen's younger sister, Everleaf. Everdeen and I try to keep them safe all the time. We both love them to death.

I know they will like this cow, and we will have beef… for breakfast. No comment.

Everdeen and I make our way to our little shack home, not the orphanage. If they ever see us, we would die, for taking meat! No way Star is dying.

Speaking of Star, where is she?

"STAR!" I scream.

"Relax" I hear a voice say. It is Everleaf. "She is Okay, just talking to her boyfriend"

Wait…

BOYFRIEND?

"WHAT THE FUCK, LET ME MEET THIS YOUNG MAN RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN TALK- "I say angrily, like WHAT THE HECK, before Everleaf makes me be quiet.

"Not a real boyfriend! She just jokes about that because he is a boy, and a friend, it is an inside joke!" she says. Thank god, for me, and really for the kid. OK, I am protective of Star.

Star walks into the shack, looking in glee at me, seeing the beef in my hands.

"Beef! Awesome! Thank you, Galen!" she says, hugging me.

"What am I, chopped liver?" Everdeen asks.

"You did good too!" she says, smirking.

"Cheeky ass…" he mutters.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY-" I say.

"It. Is. Fine. It is kind of true, you don't have to scream at everyone I see…" she says.

"Sorry Everdeen…" I say.

Everdeen and I go into a room, while Star and Everleaf go into a different room.

"Sorry for yelling, I just get tired after working for so long." I say.

He suddenly nods, pointing to the clock behind me. What about it?

Oh… the reaping. Crud.

"Star, Everleaf! Reaping time!" I say.

I hear Everleaf scream a bit. She must be scared to death, much like the rest of us.

"Don't worry!" I say. "I promise we will not get reaped, I swear!"

1 hour later

Ramsey. Do not tell me you called the name I think you called. No!

"Star Ray!" I hear.

I WANT to volunteer, but I can't! I am a boy and she is a girl!

But I CAN do this.

I don't even give a damn on who got reaped, I volunteer immediately as the name gets called.

Ramsey asks me. "What is your name sir?"

"Galen Ray."

"Are you brother and sister?" he asks.

"Yes, we are…" A timid Star replies to that dumbass looking piece of shit!

We are then escorted into the escort building.

The goodbyes come too quick, and I can barely hear them to be real. I only know one thing.

Star, YOU ARE COMING BACK HOME, ALIVE!

Now I wish I paid more attention, Everleaf and Everdeen already ran off to see Star. I will not see them again…

But at least Star will.

Star Ray- 14

I am right now leaving my boyfriends house, who is named Zenith. I can never tell Galen about him, he would go nuts.

You see, Galen is very overprotective of me. It is nice that he loves me a lot, but it gets so annoying! Like if I trip or something, he would go to me to help, and act as if I got shot by a peacekeeper.

He has been doing this for a while, after mom and dad died, mom after giving my birth, and dad for an unknown reason. I still feel upset!

Do not get me wrong, I love him!

I see Everleaf, Everdeen, me and my brothers friends, and Galen? Oh no, he looked pissed!

I run over, but I feel relief when he calms down and mutters things to himself.

I walk into our little shack we made, and Galen's face lights up. My face lights up as I look down and see the pouch of meat in his hand. Beef. Yum.

"Beef! Awesome! Thank you, Galen!" I say, hugging him tight. Thanks!

"What am I, chopped liver?" Everdeen asks, and my reply is this.

"You did good too!" I say, with a cheeky smirk appearing on my face.

"Cheeky ass…" I hear him mutter.

I get pissed as I hear Galen start to yell.

Who cares, it was a freaking joke!

"It. Is. Fine. It is kind of true, you don't have to scream at everyone I see…" I say.

But for real, he gets mad if someone lays a finger on me! I love him, but I do not want him hovering over my shoulder every second of my life.

"Sorry Everdeen…" he says, and the boys make amends.

Galen and Everdeen go into their room, while Everleaf and I go into our room.

"Sometimes I wish I did not have Galen hovering over my shoulder all the freaking time!" I tell Everleaf.

"It is fine, you know he cares about you." She says, putting her hand on my shoulder.

"I know, I love him, but sometimes I can't stand him." I say back to her.

"Everdeen and I argue all the time, one time I-" she say before Galen interrupts.

"Star, Everleaf, reaping time!" he says.

I hear Everleaf scream in panic, as do I, but quietly.

I totally forgot about the reapings! Our day, it kind of made us forget. Now I am scared, I have three slips in that bowl, and it could be me.

Galen most likely just jinxed us, just saying none of us will get reaped.

I hope this is true.

It has to be true, right?

Please say I am correct.

1 hour later (Totally not laziness wanting to give you all a chapter for me ruining everything by being slow)

Incorrect.

So incorrect.

"Star Ray!" Our escort, Ramsey says. My eyes are burning. Why me? So unfair.

Fuck you Snow! Good thing he is old… I hope he is tortured to death- wait, what was that?

Who would volunteer, silly.

Oh no. No. NO!

Galen just volunteered.

I can barely process what just happened.

Galen is going to sacrifice himself for me, I just know it. Please do not!

I realize Galen puts his hand on my shoulder, as we are being escorted to the building.

I am waiting a while.

Oh no. Does nobody want to come? I nearly cry, nobody loves me-

I hear footsteps, and they are hard.

I see Everdeen and Everleaf run in the room, panting.

"Sorry!" Everleaf says. "We went to Galen first, because we know we will not see him because he will die for you."

I now start to cry. He cannot.

All I do is just sob until they leave.

I notice an absence. My boyfriend, Zenith?

Is he not coming? Oh no, oh no!

I feel happier when I see him coming in, rushing over to hug me.

"Why, why you?" he asks, crying.

"I don't know! This is so sad!" I say.

"You will come back, right?" He asks, most likely hoping too high.

"Yes. Galen will make sure of it." I say.

"OK, please be correct…" he says.

"I am!" I say.

We hug, and we kiss, before Peacekeepers ruin everything.

I also hate the name, like they keep no peace whatsoever.

My thoughts drift back to Galen.

Please do not die.

I know we cannot pull over an Everlark and survive.

I just hope I won't be too broken if I win.

Sorry if this felt rushed, I just wanted to get a chapter out quicker than the last update.

Sponsor questions:

If one more character could survive the forcefield scene in Catching Fire, who would you choose. For me, either Wiress, Mags, Seeder, Brutus, or Chaff.

Ok, not about the franchise, but what is the most painful thing you have ever been through, that was caused by another human, like punching or kicking. (I love seeing people in pain, I am weird)

If you answer both, you will get 200 points for starters.
