The gray skyline formed a backdrop to the events in the community. The crowds were gathered filling in whatever space existed on the ground. Mitchie, and her mom, Connie crossed the stage. Once they moved through to the Repeating Area, there was Effie, waiting on the stage.
"Welcome to the Hunger Games!",she shouted out to the audience.
The audience could have been mistaken for having bad intentions, their faces painted with unhappy looks. They just stood there not moving, barely breathing. On their faces, defeat, and, knowing what was going to happen to them. Mitchie had a frown upon her face, so, Effie clapped for a while.After she was done clapping, she put a smile on her face and looked over at a jar filled with papers in it,
"Now for the first call.",said Effie.
She picked up a paper from the jar to read it out loud to the audience. Once she got the paper in her hands, she cleared her throat and looked up at the audience to shout out the person's name,
"Mitchie Torres!",she shouted.
In the audience , Mitchie was shivering with fear. That was when Connie pulled her aside,
"Its going to be okay.",she said.
While they made their way onto the stage, Mitchie was silent. She quickly nodded as a response to what her mother had just said. Then, Mitchie started walking up to the stage with two guards by her side and she introduced herself to everyone before Effie called out another person.
