CHAMBRAY HOOTON POV

"CHAMBRAY GET UP" screams my father

I do as he says and soon I'm downstairs with my family.

"Chambray, I made you something" my little brother Victor says to me

He hands me a pair of gloves he made.

"They're beautiful" I say smiling and hugging him

Victors twin Marcus also enters. He is exactly like Victor except much more slim and scrawny.

"Chambray do we have any food for today" Marcus asks

I sigh "Yes but father doesn't want us to eat it. After the reaping we'll have a massive feast"

I did try going out earlier to get some bread but some boy stole it from me.

"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING" my father shouts. Victor and Marcus hide behind me "GO GET CHANGED FOR THE REAPING"

We all remain frozen

"NOW"

Marcus and Victor run up the stairs with tears running down there faces I however slowly walk up the stairs with a dry face. I have gotten use to my father's abusive ways so I don't have much fear in his voice.

I finish up the outfit I was making. I stole some of the supplies from my mother's dress shop.

Once I have finished I start drawing. I love to draw animals. They're so beautiful and interesting.

"Chambray" my father growls "Start getting dressed now"

I hate my father, I prefer my mother but thanks to my father's torment she tends to stay in bed all day.

I put on some spare clothes I made. They are slightly ripped but I'm not one to complain.

"Marcus, Victor" I call gently "It's time to go"

They take hold of my hands and we walk out the door. It's Marcus and Victors first ever reaping and I can feel Victor's hand trembling in mine, Marcus however remains strong.

I kiss Victor and Marcus goodbye before standing with the other 15 year old girls.

Mable Missy slowly walks onto the stage. Every step makes a large noise because of her stupid high heels. Her hair is died a light blonde and she is wearing a golden outfit…wait a second. I think I made that outfit at least 4 months ago.

"WELCOME TRIBUTES" Mable laughs "I hope we're all excited today"

Is she an idiot? Well that was a stupid question because of course she is.

"I have a good feeling about this year" Mable squeels

She said that last year but we still did terrible. The female was killed at the bloodbath and then the boy died on day 4 by the careers. His death was especially terrible. A tracker jacker nest was dropped on his head and 3 minutes later he passed out, it was revealed it took at least 5 hours of agonising pain until he died.

"Anyway" Mable says awkwardly "Let's get started shall we"

She eagerly grabs out a name and rips of the tape before opening it up.

"CHAMBRAY HOOTON"

I take in a deep breath. The good thing is I have an excuse to leave my father. I slowly walk up to the stage.

"Welcome Chambray" Mable giggles giving me a hug "May the odds be ever in your favour"

I can't think anymore. 1000 of questions swim across my mind. How will I win? Should I have allies? What weapon would I be best at?

The odds aren't in my favour and I doubt they ever will be.

KYLE OAKLEY POV

Oh god. Not another hunger games. Last year was crap, the girl was killed in the bloodbath when the district 2 female decapitated her and then the male died a few days later. I know I would do much better, that is if I wanted to go in the games which I don't because I'm not a suicidal maniac.

My mother is lying on the floor knocked out. She went out drinking last night….and the night before, and the night before and every night since I was 10.

I am 17 now so I just have to get through 2 more reapings and then I am free.

I run out to get some bread. I see a young girl, at least 15, trying to take a loaf. I run up to her and knock her aside.

"GET OFF IT'S MINE" I hiss

She cowers and runs away. I take my victory bread and take a large bite out of it.

There isn't really much to do in this district. I tried making clothes but I am useless at it so I'll probably be a teacher or warehouse manager when I am old enough to work.

I get changed into some tattered clothes and walk past my drunken mother. If she doesn't show up for the reaping she'll be executed but I don't care.

The town hall is a dark depressing place. The only hint of colour is the bright red Panem flag on top of the building.

Wait, there's another bright flash of colour. Mable Missy in her weird bright clothes.

She soon reaps a girl. I think it's the one that attempted to take my bread. I would be her ally except she seems weak, if she can't keep hold of a loaf of bread how does she expect to win the hunger games.

"And the boy is" Mable giggles slowly reaching in for the boy's name. Her hand twirls around the bowl for a while before she quickly scoops up and name and returns to the microphone.

She takes a look at the name, grins and says… "KYLE OAKLEY"

I am shocked. I know people who have their names in at least 100 times, how could mine have been chosen?

I gulp and then put on a brave face. I smile at the crowd so I don't show weakness.

"Well" Mable says "Shake hands"

I give my hand to Chambray and squeeze it hard making her flinch.

These games are mine. I don't care what the others are like, I will win this.

CHAMBRAY HOOTON POV

Only Marcus and Victor show up at the justice building. We hug for a minute before Victor turns to me.

"Here" Victor says giving me a bag filled with food, medicine and extra clothes.

"If you have this you won't need to go to the cornucopia" Marcus tells me

I look at it and smile "Thank you but if the gamemakers find out I'll be executed"

Suddenly an idea pops in my head "You take it"

"What" both twins exlaim

"Take the bag and get out of the district, with a bit of luck you might make it to a nicer district like 4 or at least 5. You can't stay here with dad"

The boys look at each other as if they are trying to read each other's mind. Then they both nod

"We'll do it" Marcus cries "We'll miss you"

I hug them both one last time before they leave the justice building. One day I hope to see them again, that is if I can win.

As I board the train and leave the district's boundaries I see Victor and Marcus climb over the fence and run.

WELL I HOPE YOU LIKED IT. I AM TRYING TO FINISH THESE REAPINGS QUICKLY WHICH IS WHY I PUT UP 3 CHAPTERS TODAY. 1 OR 2 MIGHT BE UP TOMORROW.
