Almira Empress – District 7

Her whole body went numb as her name rang out around the silent clearing. The twig snapped in her hands and the seemingly quiet sound echoed off the tall redwoods surrounding them. The words that her best friend, Ian, had spoken to her not hours before seemed to float aimlessly through her head, "Fate would never be so cruel as to draw your name from the ball hun. You'll be ok, I promise."

Her bottom lip trembled. Ian is never wrong… never… Her feet, like dead weights, moved against her will, dragging her to the stage where the escort was watching her with his cold grey eyes. Next came the sting of tears. She fought them back desperately but still a few escaped and trailed down her pale olive cheek like cold betrayal. A ringing replaced any sound that might have been there to enter her delicate ears, blocking out the escorts monotonous voice as he called a second District 7 tribute. How pathetic I must look. How weak and pathetic. How very disappointed Ian must be in me…

She was snapped out of her thoughts as a peacekeeper dressed in white grabbed her upper arm and tugged her roughly from the stage. A panic overtook her brain as her frantic green eyes scanned the crowed for Ians, and at the last second, as the peacekeeper pulled her around the corner, she met his yellow flecked eyes and whispered, "You promised."
