Nikki Smith's POV

"Landon get ready." I say.

He roll his eyes and gets up. He is only 12 so he really doesn't want to go to reapings. I don't blame him. Its just a death wish.

"There." Landon says.

I see that my brother just put on shorts and an old shirt. Good enough. I know that its my turn. I go and get ready. I try to straighten my long hair, then I put in in a pony tail. I put a green dress over my skinny body and I finish everything with black flats. It's a wonder why we are alive. We have so little food. I think that I'm going to volunteer to get us some more food and maybe a better place to live. After I finish I leave and meet up with my mom.

"Lets go kids." she says.

"Where's dad?" ask.

"He's working." my mom says.

I forgot. He works on reaping day. Anyways we leave and head to reaping. Its not long before we get there. We check in and I drop off Landon at his spot. Then I get to my spot. Its not long before our escort gets on stage.

"Hello and welcome District 9. For all you newbie in the reapings I'm Cash. Lets get this over with and go to the ladies." he says.

He goes and picks a name. Then he goes for his spot.

"I VOLUTNEER!" I scream.

I hear a lot of gasps. Its rare for a kid to volunteer for the games from District 9.

"Come up then." Cash says. He sure does sound annoyed.

I get up there and Cash asks me my name.

"Nikki Smith." I say.

I know that I'm in the games. I know I can win so Landon and my parents can live a longer better life.

Arysian Luriel's POV

I get up from the street ground. I run into my secret ally to change. I change into some black pants and a white shirt that is button down. I also add my favorite leather fingerless gloves. I an so nervous because its my first reaping.

I know what your thinking. A 12 year old on the streets. Its not that my family never loved me. Its just that they all died in a house fire by some crazy maniac.

"Get out of the way!" I hear someone say.

I see an old guy punch a random guy and walk off. This sucks. I hate living in the streets. I leave the ally and head to reaping. I walk by an old building and look at an old glass. I see that my dark brown hair is messy like usual. My eyes are gray too. I see that I have gotten even skinnier. I am also tanner. I can see why all of this is happening. Very little food and always outside because no one wants you.

I walk off and make it to reapings. I check in and stand next to a kid name Landon. I am about to talk to him but the escort starts off.

The escort introduces himself as Cash. He sounds arrogant. He picks a girl which I assume is Landon's sister because he starts to freak.

"Next is the boys." Cash says.

He goes and picks a guys name. I hope it isn't my name. I have mine in like 320 times because I took so many grain and oil and put extra more to earn some money by helping workers around the area. Cash steps back to his spot and opens the name.

"Arysian Luriel" Cash says.

I slowly walk up on the stage. I look down when I get on the stage.

"This is your District 9 tributes! Shake hands." Cash says.

I shake hands with Nikki and we go into the Justice Building. Mine as well try to win to improve my life.

District 9! I hope you guys liked this one. Please review on Arysian and Nikki!
