How could they remain calm? Nobody could. All 5 brothers stood there, at the reaping, each on huddling close to the next age up brother, for Scott the only comfort was his 2nd youngest brother Virgil. For me, as their sister, I was alone, squeezing tightly onto Kayo's hand. I've never been a fighter, no Tracy ever has. Lucy, the female in the Hunger Games for district 14, takes her place. Here in District 14, we rescue and provide medical assistance for all the other districts. Every year is the same, 1 of my brothers gets chosen, and the brother he huddles close to volunteers! Every year I wait, in fear, to find out which brother has to go into the arena. Scott is 18, so it's his last hunger games! Lucky him! But this year, there's a change!
"THIS YEAR, 2 BOYS WILL BE CHOSEN! THE GIRLS CAN REMAIN HERE OR GO HOME!" Lucy announces.

My world is over now! I know that 2 brothers will be chosen.

"Boy Number 1! It's…" Lucy starts, 'get on with it' I thought, "ALAN TRACY!" she finishes, a huge array of gasps escaping from my brothers and I barely register my own gasps.

I see Scott moving forward, but gesture to him to wait, wait until we know which other brother of ours will be sent into the death trap! He nods, his face paled, mine even paler. Each of us Tracy's agreeing that it is a death trap! We only fight when necessary! It's always us! It isn't fair! It's never another family that has to cope with 2 kids being sent into the arena. Every year, my hope has been crushed as a brother and a best friend is sent into the arena. This year it's worse! Not only are there 2 brothers being sent into the arena, but Alan, the youngest of us all, is being sent in as well!

My thoughts clear when I hear the name, "SCOTT TRACY!" being called! At this, my remaining brothers pale, and all colour drains from the usually calm and composed older brother.

"SCOTTY! NO!" Virgil screams, pushing Scott behind him, "I volunteer as tribute!" he adds.

"What the…? VIRGIL! YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT!" Scott and Alan scream.

My sigh of sadness becomes clear to everyone, including Lucy! "Hey, what's wrong, little one?" She asks.

As she does, my fists clench to balls at my side as I gesture to the microphone. She understands and nods to me allowing me to make my point. "EVERYONE OF DISTRICT 14 AND THE HUNGER GAMES! TOO MANT TIMES MY HOPES ARE CRUSHED BECAUSE OF THIS DAY! EVERY YEAR HAS BEEN THE SAME! WE ALL COME HERE! AND EACH YEAR, THE BOY TRIBUTE IS ALWAYS A TRACY! I CAN'T TAKE PART IN THE REAPING LIKE THIS ANYMORE, UNLESS MY BROTHERS ARE IMMUNE TO ANY OTHER HUNGER GAMES FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!" I scream, tears of anger, love and pain now streaking my checks! As I place 3 fingers to my lips and hold them out to my brothers, I turn to the camera, and raise my middle finger, letting the capital know I want them to piss off and leave us alone! It hurts, because of our help to district 13; the hunger games now involve the Thunderbirds as well

O.O. How will the people react? Will they agree to my terms, or are my brothers always sent into the arena!

Find in the next chapter! And will my brothers win, or will this be the year when I lose a brother for good!
