District 11 Reaping

Cobalt Roots, 15

The sky was black as pitch when I snuck out of the house and into the field that lay behind it.

"Jace?" I whispered.

The stalks of corn rustled and I felt eyes on my back. I whipped around and saw Jace's golden eyes staring back. He jumped out of his spot and tackled me. We wrestled around for a minute until I finally stood up and brushed the dirt off of my clothes.

"I've missed you," Jace whispered.

"I saw you yesterday in the square," I replied.

"I know," he said. "But I had to pretend not to know you. And that hurts. All this hiding of who you are, who I am, it hurts."

"I know, and I'm sorry," I said quietly. "But you know that I can't tell my parents, my friends, not anyone. They would hate me, hope that I would die."

"But you know that I would never hate you."

"But I still enjoy having a family," I said. "Even if it involves hiding who I am. But if I am reaped today, if you are reaped today, believe me, everyone will know. I will tell them."

"Ok," he said softly. "I just hope you know that I love you."

"I know," I said,"I love you too."

He kissed me and I kissed him back.


"Where have you been, young man?" my father demanded as I walked in the door.

"Out," I said vaguely. "Just getting in some extra work before the sun rose."

My dad's face softened some. Or softened as much as his naturally sharp feature could. I'm not sure how I got my looks, because he certainly wasn't an eye-catcher. I would know. It's my unofficial job to look for hot men.

"That's okay, I guess," he said,"Want some breakfast?"

"Yes, thanks," I said, sitting down at our little table.

He handed me a piece of bread and some sausage. It may not be a ton, but it was enough to survive on. Barely.


"Hello District Eleven!" our escort, Plutrac Morns, yelled.

He was met with blank stares that showed that none of us really cared. Except for the fact that the Capitol was taking my district's children and getting them killed. We haven't had a victor in over fifteen games.

"Well, we'll start with our male tribute for this year. Jase-"

"I volunteer!" I yelled without really thinking.

As I walked up to the stage, I saw my parents giving me a weird look. Jace looked at me with the saddest look.

I need to tell you something, he mouthed.

In the Justice Building, I mouthed back.

He nodded and went back to looking depressed.

"And what's your name?" Plutrac asked.

"Cobalt Roots," I said. "That was my boyfriend you were about to take."

Plutrac nodded as if that were normal. I sure didn't think that it was.

Lilac Amrin, 16

I woke up due to the insistent pounding on my door.

"What?" I yelled, hoping to come across as extremely irritated. Which I was.

"There's someone at the door, asking for you!" my dad yelled back.

"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."

I guess. But only because it was probably my best friend, Loria. It had nothing to so with my dad. Irritating prick. I ran up to my window and looked out. It was Loria. I quickly ran a comb through my hair, carefully put on the dress my dad gave me for the occasion, and ran down the stairs.

"Hello, Loria!" I said ecstatically.

"You look beautiful today Lilac," she gushed. "I wish I could have that dress!"

"Maybe I'll let you wear it sometime next week," I said.

"Ooh, that sounds wonderful!" she said.

"Yep!" I said.

"You'll never guess who's at my house?" she yelled.

"Um," I thought. "Ooh, it it your parents?"

"No. Well, you they are there. But I'm not talking about them."

"Your brother?"

"No, silly. It's Jace!"

"OMG!" I yelled. "Is he still there?"

"I think so, but you'll have to hurry. I told him that I had to get someone I needed to introduce to him."

"But I already know him," I said, confused. "We're friends."

"Yeah, well, leave the talking to me. At first. I'll leave you two alone after a minute," Loria said. "Let's hurry!"


"Lilac?" Jace asked, confused.

"Yeah, I couldn't find the person I was looking for. Wasn't at their house. But Lilac has something she wants to tell you," Loria said, leaving the room.

"Hi Jace," I said.

"Hi," he said, smiling.

"I, um," I started.

"Go ahead, tell me. I'll answer as honestly as I can."

His golden eyes bored into my skull. But boy, were they beautiful eyes.

"Um, I have had a crush on you for like, forever," I blurted out.

"Oh," he said, sounding somewhat confused. His smile disappeared. "I'm sorry Lilac, can I talk to you some other time? I need some time to think about what you just told me."


"Hello District Eleven!" our escort, Plutrac Morns, yelled.

He was wearing a cute blue suit, with a matching tie. But he was ugly.

"Well, we'll start with our male tribute for this year. Jase-"

"I volunteer!" someone yelled.

A boy walked on stage. He probably was just one of Jace's friends. At least Jace wasn't going to go to the Hunger Games. I mean, if he went, he wouldn't ever become my boyfriend. Which I'm sure he will. After this. And after I thanked that boy for saving Jace.

I think I massed something because some peacekeepers grabbed me. Oh, shoot. That meant I had been reaped.

"Isn't anyone going to volunteer for me?" I yelled,"Your job as peasants is to grovel at my feet and volunteer for me when I am reaped!"

People gave me horrified stares. I struggled some more, but it was useless. Plutrac made me shake the boy's hand, whose name I can't seem to remember. Then he yelled,"District Eleven, I give you your tributes, Lilac Amrin and Cobalt Roots!"
