A/N: Hi guys! this is my ever first fanfiction, this is an alternate story if people cannot volunteer for the reaping and some other plots twists! Hope you enjoy and any feedback will be very helpful for my writing! PS I'm just a beginner.
I'll tell you a story that I never forget and how I get nightmares from them and how that they will never go away, I'll tell you how I survived it, but first I'll start from the beginning.

As I lay in bed I stared at our filthy walls in our home, I thought 'tomorrow's my very first reaping day'. I've only put my name their once and katniss has put hers 20 times in order for us to get tesserae. Buttercup, my cute but broken cat laid beside me by the window. My name or my sister - Katniss wouldn't be called right? I hope not.
I woke up to see buttercup, not beside me, she is always wandering around the Seams. And I saw Katniss already went hunting with dad, probably learning some new skills, I always want to go and help out but I just couldn't help but get scared when an animal dies. So I go to get milk from Lady, my goat and help out in my mum's healing store. By one o'clock, nearly everyone is waiting in front of the Justice building, lined up by age and since I'm twelve I get to stand by the front row and see everything so clearly.
Just as the clock strikes two, the mayor stands up and begins to read all the story of the Panem. Everyone and including me wasn't really paying attention, I can tell by the faces that they are all worried if they are going to be reaped this year, I couldn't help but worry about that too and before I know it I started biting my lip again, I only do that when I'm dead nervous and this is good timing to do that.
Effie Trinket, a woman wearing a huge pink hair came up on stage and sad her infamous quote, "Happy Hunger games! And may the odds be ever in your favour, now as usual ladies first." she walked towards the bowl with thousands of girl's names in it one of them are my name and 20 of them are Katniss's. Effie picked up one of them and opened it up, she stood there and began speaking, my hands were shaking then she spoke. "The female tribute for district 12 is," she paused for a while and said "Primrose Everdeen"
