Gloss Harmony, 30, District 1 Male Victor

I stood in complete shock after President Snow's speech. He can't be serious! I know I volunteered the first time but this time I don't want to go in. Mainly because I heard how the capital treated my sister after she won her games.

She told me all about it. How President Snow exploited her good looks and forced her into prostitution at the capital. The second I heard that I lost all respect for President Snow. No one treats my sister like that, not even the President.

The good news is that District 1 is a career district so there's a chance me and Cashmere won't get reaped. In fact, if we're lucky someone will volunteer. If I'm being honest the tribute, I really feel bad for is the girl from 12 who won last year. She just came out of the arena and now she has to go back in.

I try to think of the victors from the other career districts. Most I could probably take on in a fight. The only one who worries me is Brutus. That man is a wild animal who won his games after he killed 12 of the tributes. I remember seeing him rip out the girl from 5's throat with his bare hands which got him the victory.

That guy shows no honor which is a disgusting way to fight. In my games I honored each and every one of my opponents. If they wanted to fight with weapons I fought with weapons if they wanted to fight bare handed, I fought bare handed. It all depended.

I decide to go outside and see how the other victors are taking the news. I look over and see Cashmere crying and I don't blame her. I then look and see Glitter who won about 30 years ago cursing in anger. Most of the other victors however are in complete shock.

I walk over and give Cashmere a hug as she continues crying. "Why does it have to be this way, just why?" She cries out and I sigh.

I wish I had an answer sis. I just hope we don't both get reaped because that's going to make it 100 times harder.

Cashmere Harmony, 29, District 1 Female Victor

The second President Snow mentions the twist. I burst out crying. I hate that man with every fiber of my being. I remember after winning my games I was invited back to the capital. At first, I was excited. I was hoping to see the people who had sponsored me.

Unfortunately, there was another reason I got invited. I remember getting up there and seeing a whole bunch of male capital citizens. They gave me extremely perverted looks. Finally, President Snow came in. I at first was relieved thinking he would save me but that's when he told me the only reason, I was here was to give these men a good time.

I knew exactly what he meant after he said that. I tried to run but the men caught me. I remember crying for help as they tore off my clothes and violated me. It was at that moment that I realized that the capitol didn't care about me. I was just a tool to be used only when needed.

Year after year since that fateful day I watched tributes volunteer and every year I pray they won't survive. I know that sounds horrible, but I know if they do the capital is going to use them just like they used me.

It wasn't a one time thing either for years the male capital citizens and even some female capital citizens used my body for sexual pleasure even President Snow took advantage of me.

I told Gloss but there wasn't much he could do. He tried his best to comfort me but trying to help me could have easily gotten both of us killed. Gloss did however say he would stick by me.

I'm really not looking forward to going back into the games because I know if I go in and win again, I'll just be taken advantage of.

It's about time for the reaping though so I'd better leave. Me and Gloss leave the victors village together and go to the reaping square.

We go opposite sides of the stage as the escort walks up. After playing the video like he does every year he walks towards the female bowl first.

"Cashmere Harmony!" He calls aloud. I hang my head down and I can already feel tears pouring down my eyes. I walk up and stand next to the escort.

He quickly walks towards the male bowl and pulls out a slip. Please don't let it be Gloss. I silently pray.

"Gloss Harmony!" Our escort yells out. As I gasp aloud. I look over and see Gloss look shocked at first, but he quickly stands over next to me where we shake hands.

I already know this isn't going to end well.

AN: Hi everyone it's wiifan2002 once again. I hope you enjoyed how I portrayed Gloss and Cashmere. I know I didn't really go into a whole lot of detail about what happened in their games, but I didn't really feel it fit in. On some victors I might talk more about their games but on others like these two I'll talk about their thoughts on the capital. I especially wanted to share Cashmere's thoughts. In my opinion victors being forced into prostitution is a very untalked about part of the games but I feel it should be talked about. In real life it's talked about all the time. Plus keep in mind Cashmere was 18 when she won her games now imagine an 18 year old girl being forced to have sex with 30 or 40 year old men and it happens year after year. Gloss and Cashmere are still going to join the career pack in the games, but they won't be as loyal as say the tributes from district 2 might be. On another note, I will hopefully have the next reaping chapter for Life up this weekend but no promises. I have a bad habit of procrastinating. Anyways please read and review. Hope everyone has a good night.
