District 10-Robynn Jekingson's POV
I finished sharpening my sword-javelin and threw it across my room.
It flew like a torpedo and hit the other side of the wall with a satisfying thunk.
I ran over to it and freed the still intact sword.
This was my best sword-javelin yet, and I felt proud as I remembered my secret craft. I just cut off the head part of a shepherd's crook, sharpened the tip, and stuck a sword blade dripping with sticky amber tree sap into the end of the thick wood.
It created a deadly weapon that only I could use.
See, the fact is, if anybody just picked up my weapon, they wouldn't be able to use it because they'd have a hand of injuries.
I was the creator and therefore only I knew the secret:
There was a wooden strip inside the SJ. Taking the weapon by the strip was the only way to throw my tool.
I hurried and put on white iridescent cotton dress handmade by my mom that shimmered with amber from trees and round marble stones.
It was heavy, but I'd do it for her.
"Mom, I'm going!" I yelled after my morning chores.
"Alright, honey! Do it for your district and me! My Hunger Games winner!" She hugged me. I smiled.
Alex's POV
I stood at the square, relaxed.
When they called the boy tribute, I'd volunteer, and District Ten would finally have the greatest victor in the universe.
I was so engrossed in my daydreaming that not until the Capitol man, Sovvy, finished the girls' reaping did I regain my senses.
"Wyatt In-" " I volunteer!"
I yelled, and rushed up the stage.
I saw my mother smiling happily with tears running down her face. She was sure I'd win, and I was, too.
I looked around and came face to face with the girl tribute.
As we shook hands, I asked, "Career?" She smirked and hissed,
"But of course!"
" Robynn and Alex of District Ten!"
