DISTRICT 10 TRIBUTES

MARIUM SHELLED POV

I have only seen one hunger games. Well 1 minute of the hunger games. It was when I was 5 and my aunt had left it on so I started watching. After 10 seconds of it I was terrified. There were 12 year olds being stabbed and kids not that much older then them being murdered in a much more grizzly way.

I am feeling the usual feelings I get before a reaping. Fear.

I'm in the kitchen at the moment and my aunt just enters with my older brother Travis. His last reaping was last year and next year it will be my last reaping. Just 2 more reapings. 2 more reapings and then I'm free.

"Don't worry. You won't get picked" my aunt tells me

My name is in the bowl 19 times. I live in district 10 so I had to take many tesseraes. My auntie didn't want me to and neither did my brother but we were quite close to death so I did it in secret. They were furious but then just started hugging me and calling me brave.

My grades in school could be better. I'm a bit of a day dreamer so I most of the time the letters my teacher writes comes to life and dance around me. Strange but cool.

I walk outside for the reaping at the smell of beef and many other meats hit my nose. I don't really like the thought that my future will be killing animals. They have such sad eyes...then again, everyone does when you live in district 10.

Ollympia Wark entered the stage and looked at many faces of sadness and anger.

"HAPPY HUNGER GAMES AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR. I HOPE YOU'RE ALL EXCITED"

Are faces told her that we aren't

"WE SHALL START OFF WITH THE LADIES SHALL WE"

She slowly descended her hand into the reaping bowl and circles it for a while before finally picking up a name and walking back to the microphone

"AND OUR TRIBUTE IS...MARIUM SHELLED"

My heart stopped for a second. How could it be. Sure my name was in 19 times but I knew people who had their names in at least 100 times.

I didn't move so eventually the peacekeepers had to grab me onto the stage

"FROZEN WITH EXCITEMENT AREN'T YOU" Ollympia Wark said. She couldn't be more wrong

I had only watched 10 seconds of the hunger games...and now people will be watching me in them. My worst nightmare come to life

MOSS LEWIS POV

I get dressed with the clothes in my box. I don't have a wardrobe because I don't have a house. I used to when I had a family...but that was a long time ago and they're all dead now. Today I'm sure I'll get picked. My name is in the bowl 50 times. I have no food or house and are close to death anyway.

I did have some food but a 12 year old girl was also starving so a couple of weeks ago I gave her alot of my grain that I got for tesserae. It was the right thing to do but it meant I had to take another tesserae.

Apart from tesserae the only other source of food I have is stealing the unused meat that are factories get rid of.

I am probably the only person in my district who has no opinion of the games. I've not seen many. I know what they're about but I just don't feel anything bad or good about them.

The reaping is about to start. I only know this because people are walking out of the house crying with their children in their arms

I head out into the town centre. Our escort approaches us and tells us how excited we should be for the games

I may not have an opinion on the games but I certainly have an opinion on the Capitol. I would tell people but I would probably be arrested.

She announces a female who has frozen stiff. I feel sorry for her. She seems about the age of 17.

"NOW LET'S SEE WHO THE BOYS ARE"

She crosses to the bowl but I don't listen and turn my attention to a rock. I do however listen when I hear...

"MOSS LEWIS"

Everybody looks around to see who I am. No one really knows me because I'm homeless and don't show up to school.

I walk onto the stage as I see the crowd giving looks of "Who the hell is that"

Well I'm in the justice building I just wait for the peacekeepers to come and collect me. I expect no visitors but the biggest shock I get is when a peacekeeper enters

"You have a visitor" he tells me

The 12 year old I gave the bread to enters.

"Thank you for being so kind to me...I'm sorry you got chosen" she tells me

"It wasn't your fault" I tell her

She opens her hand and it reveals a piece of string with a wooden flower on it.

"Wear it in the arena" and with that she leaves

I will try my hardest to win these games. When I win I will become rich and also make the girl rich as well as a way of thank you and a way of friendship

THANKS FOR READING. NEXT UP IS DISTRICT 11 AND THEN 12. I THINK I'M GOING TO DO A SPONSORSHIP SYSTEM SO IF ANY OF YOU HAVE AN IDEA ON HOW I COULD DO ONE PLEASE TELL ME OVER PM

HAPPY HUNGER GAMES AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR
