A/N: I'm back! I know, it took me SO long to update but I haven't been feeling well and I was celebrating a birthday with family today (not mine!). Sorry, I know the last chapter was confusing but it was supposed to be that way. I'm hinting at things you all will understand in this chapter. I will not reveal, you will just have to wait and see what happens! Enjoy! P.S. We've skipped a few months to the Quarter Quell reaping!

Disclaimer: I want to own The Hunger Games but I don't. It belongs to Suzan Collins.

Peeta POV: Here we were at the 75th annual Hunger Games reaping. Technically, Katniss and I were supposed to be in the mentor's spots this year because we already won the Games. But Effie had told us that because all children, even those eighteen and above were eligible for the Games this year, we had to stay in line in case one of our siblings was reaped and we had to go with them.

And of course, both mine and Katniss's siblings were eligible for reaping (Eric was eighteen, Matthew was nineteen) and you all know how old Prim is.

I was in line with Matt on one side of me and Eric on the other and I noticed that they both looked a little nervous. Then again, who wasn't nervous on reaping day? Practically all of the families in the District had more than one kid, only a rare few were only children. There were days I pitied those kids or wished that I was one of them. I think you can see why, with my brothers.

Looking down into the line of girls, I saw Katniss standing with Prim. Prim looked as though she wanted to throw up. I couldn't really describe in words the look etched into Katniss's features.

Then there was a sharp tap on the microphone and the whole crowd turned to Effie, who was dressed in bright pink as usual. Then a warm smile crossed her face. "Welcome everyone. I assume we are all very excited to see who will be entering the arena this year, are we not?" as usual when she said this every year, it was dead silent throughout the crowd.

"Well alright then," she said a little too perkily. (Doesn't she get that none of us really were in the mood to be cheerful right now? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Effie but she was so stupid sometimes) "Ladies first, as usual."

Effie walked over to the humungous glass bowl that held all the girls names and stuck her hand in. after a few seconds of poking around she took a small piece of paper out, unfolded it and, (as the entire throng of people held their breath) read, Madge Undersea.

No way. Madge probably barely had anything in there. Then again, neither did me or my brothers and I was still reaped. Snow had rigged this. He knew that Madge was friends with Katniss. I looked over and saw Madge walking up. Her face was white as a sheet. Not that I blamed her. After all, her aunt had been in the 50th Quell with Haymitch and had died. Her poor mother. No wonder she was always sick and frail looking.

"Congratulations, love." Effie whispered to her. Madge didn't acknowledge her. She didn't even twitch. Effie, being used to the lack of enthusiasm by now, after administering the reaping in twelve for so long, just moved on. "And the next female Tribute is…" I felt like I might faint and I think I even saw Effie get a little shocked and a twinge of pain ran through her before she read, "Primrose Everdeen."

There was a bloodcurdling shriek let out from one of the children and I immediately knew it was Prim. The Games were her worst nightmare. Especially since she had been reaped last year and Katniss took her place. I caught a glimpse at Katniss's expression as she was walking Prim and herself up to the stage almost just like she did just a year ago. She looked like the devil had come for her.

I glanced behind me at Rory Hawthorne. Prim's boyfriend (that still freaked me out to no end). He looked as though someone had just stabbed him in the heart. Like his reason for living had just been taken away from him forever. Poor kid. I knew exactly how he felt.

Effie didn't even bother saying congratulations to Prim and Katniss because even she knew that she would be lying. She did love Katniss like a niece after all. "And now for the first male Tribute," she declared.

She dug around in the other bowl as well, took out another piece of paper and read of it, "Rory Hawthorne!" oh no. Prim and Rory in the Games at the same time? No. gale and Katniss both in the Games. No, this wasn't right. Snow had done this on purpose. I was 99% sure of it now.

Gale, Rory, Vick all looked like they had just been killed and brought back to life. But other than that they all had on identical masks of blankness on their faces.

When Effie pulled out the second male Tribute card I knew who it was before she had it out of her mouth. "Eric Mellark!" yep. I hated Snow.

A/N: Oh no! Who saw all of that coming? How about Rory and Prim's POV's in the next chapter so you can see how they're feeling? Maybe a bit of Madge? Did you all think that this would be the twist that I have been mentioning to you all for ages. Ha ha. Anyway, please tell me what you thought and I swear I will update fast AND give you all cookies! Forgive me for taking so long please! Review and leave ideas, love you guys very much!

Thanks for Reading and suppoting!

Love,
