Novelty Winston, 24, District 1, Victor of the 118th Annual Hunger Games

WARNING THIS MENTIONS RAPE! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

"The tributes will be selected from the existing pool of Victors"

This was all my mind could focus on. The fact that one of the victor will be selected in a "Tournament Of Victors" Hunger Games made me shutter.

During the reaping of the 118th Hunger Games I was such a fool to volunteering as I think about it. I just turned n17 when that reaping happened.

During my games I was so determined to win, not even caring to kill innocent children. Now after 7 years, I regret what I did marjory. I remember the cold winter arena, nearly freezing myself to death, as well as witnessed my district partner, and Queenie the girl from 2, be mauled and mutilated by a polar bear right. They're screams still echo in my mind to this day.

After my victory I was immediately more favored by the Capitol.

A few weeks after the victory tour, I was kidnapped by President Harma, and raped by his eldest son. I couldn't do anything or my family would've died. Soon after my life went to absolute hell.

I got pregnant at 17.

When the President found out, I couldn't get an abortion. So after 9 months, my sun, Rumble Harma, was born.

You would've thought things would end there, but no it didn't. In the end the Harma's disowned Rumble as he was "Dirty Blood" due to the fact I wasn't a rich Capitol citizen. So now I had a son to care for.

I love my son to death, and in some way I'm glad this happened, but I wish it would've happened another way.

After 7 years of being a victor, and a single mother I finally felt like I did something good, of course the victors quell twist had to ruin that. President Harma stated that 12 victors from the 12 districts of Panem That this was a tournament of victors, this was to see who truly is the best victor.

As I fixed my hair and got Rumble ready to see his grandma. The peacekeepers knocked on my door as I opened it.

"Hello gentlemen, is it that time?" I asked.

The peacekeepers nod.

"Yes Ms. Winston, would you please follow us." The two peacekeepers said.

I look up at my mom and walled over to her. My face turned serious.

"Mom, if I am picked please take care of Rumble." I sniffed.

"Don't worry Novelty, he'll be alright." My mother told me.

I turned towards Rumble and bend down and smiles at him. Hugging him softly.

"Hey Rumby, Mommy's gotta go and see the other victors. I just want to let you know mommy loves you so so much." I say as tears stream down my face.

Rumble smiles at me as he hugged me.

"I love you too mommy." He smiles cutely.

I kissed his forehead as I turned towards the peacekeepers, ready for my doom.

"Ready." I say as I leave my home and follows the peacekeepers to the reaping building.

As I looked around I would see 7 victors, most of them were older than me. Most of them seemed happy to be picked, but for me, that wasn't the case.

I walked into the reaping stage and stood by the other victors. Not making ant eye contact with them or facial expressions. About 5 minutes later, the escort of District 1 walked onto the stage.

"Hello District 1! Welcome to the reaping of the 6th water quell reaping! This year victors will be reaped." The Escort says excitedly.

As the reaping ceremony starts all I could think about was if Im pick, who will take care of Rumble? My Mom isn't the healthiest and she may die soon. I just hope someone who care for him.

"Good luck!" The Escort says as she puts her hand in the victors bowl.

"The victor representing District 1…."

She opens the envelope

"Novelty Winston!" She clapped.

When she called my name my heart dropped, but nothing could be done now. I walked toward as my arm was raised by the escort.

"Your victor of District 1….Novelty Winston!"

I was quickly escorted off stage and to the train.

"Here we go again." I say.

Well that's the end of District 1's reaping! I hoped you enjoyed the chapter. I'm so excited to continue FTYBR!
