A/N-Well this one was really late and I have my reasons like I had writers block, planning a baby shower, and etc. But I won't do anything. I really wanted to make this reaping more unique though. And almost 50 reviews for me, so hooray! Well after this is the final reaping which has one of my characters and my friends, so it's going to be short. I'm really excited for the next chapters after the reaping because one is on the train going to the capitol, then the chariots, then training sessions, and private and finally interviews and filler chapter. Plus check out my poll which is who is your favourite couple involving non tributes. Also if I didn't mention your tribute during the train rides it's probably because I haven't had an angle to play with them on the train, but now I do, so this train ride will have only characters that I haven't mentioned yet.

Disclaimer: I don't own characters or the games.

Emberlynne Makenzie POV

"Almost 10:00 Ember," my father yells.

"Okay," I yell.

I stroke my hair for the last time, and then look at the mirror for the last time, my deep purple dress and black stockings that my mother lent me and black flats help tie together my hair and skin tone.

I rush down and kiss my parents and my brother and tell them goodbye, then leave.

I really hate the games, I hate them, I hate them, I hate them.

The Capitol act like poor people in District 11 when they get food, but instead of them getting food its bloodshed. Stupid Capitol, they are clueless about what they are doing. I mean say goodbye to 23 kids and welcome one victor.

Is it really right to lose 23 children?

I get interrupted by my thoughts when Nicole my best friend, interrupts with a hello.

"Hi Nicole," I say to her.

"Look, the treaty of treason is starting," and then I look at the stage.

"Long ago, the districts rebelled and," then I get interrupted by someone putting their hand on my shoulder.

"Get your hand off freak," I say to him.

"Fine Ember," then I notice it is Derian Himlock.

"Derian, your back! I haven't seen you since you left for the crops," I say to him.

He left the school early to work in the fields all day and I haven't seen him since he was 14 and left.

"Yep I'm back, and he hugs me,"

"But I'm here for the stupid games," He replies.

Then I hear a shot fired and then I pull back and see my bloody hand and Derian's emotionless face.

"NO!" I scream

"WHY?" I cry.

Then our mayor walks toward me and Derian's dead body. Is he going to help me or do something to that peacekeeper?

"No one disrespects the games," our mayor says.

No he is a total idiot. A stupid bastard at the least.

"Let's get back to the games," our mayor says.

I cry all through the treaty treason.

Then our escort begins walk to the stage.

"Hello District 11, are you ready for the games?" our escort Malbye Hickens says.

She looks horrible with her green fluffy hair and aquamarine skin.

"Any may the odds be ever in your favour!" and she giggles.

She begins to pull out a slip from the girls. I know it's mine because I have 20 slips in there. I have 4 because I had to for every year, then 5 every year for my mother and father, my brother, and my baby sister and me.

"Emberlynne Makenzie," she says cheerfully.

I knew it. I'm always right.

I walk to the stage and smile but I begin to frown when she says the other name is Grant Heardre.

He is my brother's best friend but he is also very annoying.

Anyways I shake hands with her and then we leave for the Justice building.

Grant Heardre POV

Wow after watching a peacekeeper shoot a gun, I think that's….. Awesome! I totally want to be a peacekeeper and I love it. I so want to be one and shoot people and stuff.

But the fun ends when I'm called up. All I do is shake hands but act emotionless. Then Justice building here I come.

No one comes to me and all I do is watch the girl's family talk to her. My best friend Jerdan visits this completely unknown girl but doesn't even say bye to me? Now that's low Jerdan, really low.

Emberlynne's POV

All my family and Nicole say the same thing. Win and survive and kill, kill, kill!

That was a complete waste of time.

Leo's POV

Wow, all that talk with my mentor Christina Meriss was sure boring.

Actually that was death.

"Shut up," I mumble to myself.

I hate my inner voice sometimes it's annoying, and sometimes it gets to the point where my inner voice swears. It even helped me get an annoying burn mark.

I walk up to Graff to tell me my story.

"Graff I'll tell you my story about my burn mark,"

"Ok," she says and then we take a seat.

"It was when I was 8, my dad told me to put some wires together since I was a genius at electricity. Well I was drinking some water but I put it right beside the electronic. After that I got interrupted by someone (his inner voice) and I kept talking to him and I hadn't noticed that I had spilled all my water on the electronic so I was working still and when I finally fused the wires, a spark flashed out and I shielded my face with my arm but sadly I got this burn mark from it and I still have it."

Then I reveal my burn again.

All Graff does is say "Oh my god," and then leaves.

Great there goes my chance to ask her as my ally.

Who cares she was a weirdo anyways. You deserve way better.

"Oh be quiet," I say to my voice once again.

Graff's POV

Wow, the closest burn I got to was me forgetting to turn off the stove and I put my finger on the stove.

I forget that when our mentors call us back in for another meeting.

Great, not again, why don't they give us a break.

Janina's POV

Boring, another day of talking and fighting about which strategy is better.

Really all I wanted to do is apologize to Persephone, for the way I acted. I mean she knows Alex more than I do and I mean she is right. I'm a follower, not a leader.

I really should apologize to Alex and act more leader-like; except that Amy is a born leader so maybe I should rethink being a leader.

Dylan's POV

I know that Shale really wants me to be my own person and all but I really trust Atheya. I mean she's sweet and nice and funny.

I will trust her with all of my life, for such a nice girl.

Wait a minute am I falling in love?

I can't be. The games are meant to kill other tributes. All she is is an ally.

This is all Freque's twisted plot of bonding then destroying each other.

Well it's not going to work on me.

Oh forget it; I need some flowers and a card.

Luna's POV

I'm a contender, I'm a winner, I'm a victor.

I need to tell myself that or else I'll just give up. I need this motivation to survive.

I already have made an alliance with Graff so that's in the bag but I still have to keep motivating myself.

I'm a contender, a victor, the winner of the 99th hunger games.

Jayden's POV

I got to stay positive. I can't be like what I was like at the reaping.

I'm a dead man, a dead man.

No, I got to be positive and cheerful. I already am in an alliance with this new guy Grant, so I have luck on my side so got to be positive and not think about me dying.

Great, I just thought about it.

Olivia's POV

No falling for it I tell you. I'm never going to be sucked into this trap called friendship with your enemies.

Edant's POV

Why did I kiss her? My plan was so stupid for me to pretend to accidentally trip and kiss her and then ask her out. But no, I was a big coward and now she probably thinks it's and accident.

There is only one way to solve this.

Pretend to not be interested in McKinley Bennett and act like it was a huge accident. Besides it might be better that way.

Then I let my emotions get the best of me and I cry.

I cry for being so stupid for not asking her to be my girlfriend when I had a chance, I cry cause I'm the biggest idiot, and I cry because now it's useless to ask out the only girl I have ever loved. And not those ones in 10 who always try to look cute and charming, I like the way McKinley actually is, a normal girl who just acts herself.

There is one thing though but I resist trying to do it but it's too late as I grab a paper and pen and begin to write.

Well that was the end of this chapter. I'm so sorry about the lateness and I know that bastard is childish but she was mad and I wasn't going to make her go crazy like that. Wow I am really weird. Anyways this is the last train ride until after the reapings and 12 is going to be like 5's reaping so be ready. Also I have no idea how to get burn scars.
