POV District 7 Female- Sarafine Daisy
"Rob, don't eat see soil!" I pull a sloppy, half chew fist full of mud out of my brothers mouth, a few specks landing on my t-shirt.
"Soil, tasty!" He gargles, the remainders of the soil spraying out! His face is a disgusting mess, yet hidden deep down is the brother I have brought up.
Yeah, I have both parents, but they don't really care for us. I more a parent then they will ever be!
I was gardening, using up the last few hours of peace before the reaping. Gardening and running, the only things that give me joy in this pain-ridden world. But I still manage to push on, for Rob's sake, he needs a motherly figure in his life, I'm all he's got!
Shortly after his "Mud Pie" Rob is whisked off by our maid to get cleaned up for the reaping. I don't know why we even bother going, I know I'm never going to be picked, Daddy one let them. His rich, you know, my Daddy. The Richest! But still, we go. Cramped in those small pens, with all those "Poor" children. Filth! I don't mean to sound, well, snobby, but seriously you would think they had never had a bath, and to be quiet honest, I don't think most of them have!
POV District 7 Male- Raiden Leanbow
"Let the 498th Hunger Games Begin!" Her powerful voice sends a chill down my spine. I stare in awe at the TV screen, at the bravery of my brother, Quann. He was killed 2 years ago in the games, but fought until the end. He came second, to a career, no surprise there. But it was close.
We are one of the lucky families, we have enough money for a TV. Sure, its not the best, the screen crackles and we loose the picture a lot, but its more than most people in this district.
The tributes race toward the Cornuccopia, Quann the first one there. He is just about to grab supplies when the screen flicks off. I look up to see my oldest brother, Remo, towering over me.
His my the adult now both our parents are dead. There is 8 of us in all, me and Remo look after them all. My parents died a few years ago. Dad was killed trying to start a rebellion, he would not give up. Mum was murdered when trying to stop the peacekeepers taking Quann. She was fighting a loosing battle and she was quickly thrown to the floor and left for dead.
I look up into Remo's eyes, all hope left them years ago.
"Why are you not dressed for the reaping?" He complains.
"Its only-!" I glanced at the clock.
"1:45!" Remo finishes my sentence as I push past him.
I pull on the nearest clothes to me and head out of the door to the square.

"Sarafine! Where are you?"
She holds the slip of paper with such pride in her hands. I walk forwards, hiding my face from the crowd.
"I wont hurt you!" My escort coos, offering me her hand.
I know she wont hurt me, but the tributes will...
POV District 7 Male- Raiden Leanbow
I make it just in time as the shadowed figure of a young girl pushes her way up the stage. Our escort puts out her hand and welcomes the child onto the stage.
"Now for the males..." Her hand scrapes the side of the bowl. "Raiden Leanbow!"
