A/N: I'm here! FINALLY! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I'm really REALLY sorry that I took so long to update! Thanks k8wuzhere for reminding me to get back to this story. You get 5 points! If I take longer than a week to update again, just send me a few pms telling me to get back on to it.

I have a few new things to tell you!

The questions at the end of each page can be answered at ANY TIME until the story is totally finished and we're out of the arena! If you're new to this story feel free to review (hint hint hint) but please DON'T submit new tributes! I have everyone I need!


Sponsors are always needed. Two plus people can sponsor the same tribute!

From now on, you can buy anything for the tribute(s) at any time and I shall keep a list of them. If the tribute you're sponsoring dies before you can send in the gift (review or pm me to say when you want it sent in), you can either give the gift to another living tribute of your choice or withdraw the gift altogether.

Each day in the Games each item goes up by ten points.

Down in the tribute list, if there is a * beside them they're a bloodbath. I need more bloodbaths! PM/review me to say you will let your tribute be a bloodbath! (Or I'll just choose myself...(Making them a bloodbath is still worth 15 points!))


GwenCooper92: Does that mean you want to sponsor Amelia Woodburn?

k8wuzhere and HeartRacingAlways: Never stop reviewing!

And everyone EXCEPT k8wuzhere didn't get the bonus question right... It wasn't 'May the odds be ever in your favour', it was 'The world will be watching.'But I gave you the points anyway. I'm good like that.


Lily Breensdaughter

I hid in the corner, curled around a dog-eared book. It was 'Al...e...I...Wo...land...B...Ew...Car'. Mother had given it to me on my 7th birthday. The ink on some parts had run, and the spine was bent. It was a dejected book, but I loved it.

Loud 'bongs' rolled out over the District. I mectiously wrapped the book in fabric and placed it in the drawer. My green dress looked like the sea, and my raven hair just added to the effect of a low storm cloud.

I waited on the step for my parents. They almost got me late, and I funneled in with the other late ones. I was pushed into the twelve-year-olds pen. I stood at the edge of the roped-off area, holding Mother's hand. The Capitol woman stepped onto the stage, and I sucked in a breath. All I had ever wanted, my entire life, was to look as good as the Capitol citizens. My one hope to look like them was to be reaped. This was my first year I was eligible. If I wasn't reaped, I might volunteer. Might.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to the Reaping! I am your escort, Hami Waters and I will be helping the two lucky tributes of District Eleven achieve greatness!" There is some polite clapping that quickly dies away. "Ladies first! And the lucky girl is..." I find myself holding my breath. "Lily Breensdaughter!" All of a sudden it feels as if the ground has dropped away underneath me. Strange, I thought. Then reality hits with an iron fist. It's me. I must kill. I must kill my friend from District Eleven. I feel as if I might throw up or cry. But somehow my traitor legs are moving forward. No, I think. Stop! But I am up on the stage. I must win. Then, and only then, can I dress and look as these people do.

"I am Lily," I managed to croak out.


Albert Follop

I yawned and rolled out of bed, scrambling into saggy hand-me-downs. The reaping started in two minutes, and I wasn't even there yet!

I was the last one to arrive. I saw Peacekeepers starting their rounds to bring in anyone not attending.

The Capitol woman stepped foward and began bubbling. "Hello everyone! Welcome to the Reaping! I am your escort, Hami Waters and I will be helping the two lucky tributes of District Eleven achieve greatness!" Yeah, right. She's here to help us die. She grinned a smile so wide it must have been fake. A hand wrapped in a white glove rose and fell. "Ladies first! And the lucky girl is Lily Breensdaughter!"

The young girl with black hair and green eyes stumbled to the stage. "I am Lily," she said. A murmur went through the crowd. She had come from the twelve-year old section. Poor girl, I thought.

"No volunteers?" Who in their right minds would volunteer? "Well, onto the boys! And the lucky young man is... Albert Follop!" I stumble and nearly fall. It can't be me! It can't! I manage to get to the stage.

"Please volunteer! I'm begging you!" No one gives a glance to me, the begging boy in fruit-stained overalls. Who in their right minds wouldn't volunteer? !

The escort gives me a sympathetic smile and continues the ceremony. "Shake hands! Ladies and gentlemen! I give you... the tributes of District Eleven!"
