Xavier Hunter

District 2, 17, Male

1 week before the reaping...

She kisses me, gently, on the cheek. I love her and she loves me. "Don't do it Xavier!" She cries.

"Alexandra, we talked about this." I whispered gently - still staring into the sunset.

"It's The Hunger Games. You have a 1/24 chance of living!" Alexandra screams, standing up. I carry on looking at the sunset until I am slapped and brought back to reality.

"We have done this too many times Alexandra." I say and I climb to my feet slowly walking away. I can't do this anymore and if she doesn't understand that she needs to go. I hear her cries behind me but I am not going to turn back, I will be strong and I will win the games.

I arrive home and I'm immediately greeted by my partners in training or as they call us 'friends'. "What is it?" I mumble. The short one (Koren) jumps up and down saying "We are here to celebrate you going into The Games!"

I shout at all 4 of them at the top of my lungs, "GET THE HELL OUT!" Immediately, Koren, Davon and Levang exit, in a hurry but someone stays. Martin, out of all of them I would say he is my friend, my best friend to be exact, I stare at him for a bit and then eventually tell him everything aboutAlexandra. Then I begin to tear up but as soon as I remember Carson I stop.

"Just because Carson died because he was too soft doesn't mean you can't cry." He says firmly but in a meaningful way.

Carson was my brother he died in the 147th Hunger Games because he became too attached to his allies and never betrayed them - it ended up he was the one to be betrayed and killed by a knife to the heart in his sleep. I am only doing this for him. No one else. I am strong and I am going to win.

2 days before the reaping...

I begin to twitch. Just looking at their old pictures makes me want to kill someone. I pick up the picture of my brother -Sathe- and become a mix of emotions. Was I upset he was reaped? Yes. Was I mad at his murderer? Of course. Do I wish I volunteered for him? In every way. I put him down before I smash his picture and get grounded 4 days before I volunteer. I then pick up her picture. My sister -Carinne. All she makes me feel? Anger, pure anger. She volunteered, she left me helpless and with no siblings.

My parents are probably still at the academy. It's 11pm, 3 sleeps till my reaping and they're not here to tuck me in or give me any reassurance. They know and I know they know. They are going to hate me for volunteering and I know and I know they know. My life is a constant spin of misery but if I win. It will all change because then, I will have friends and parents that love me and then I have no need to cry every night and no need to worry every day.

I suddenly fall asleep.

BANG! As fast as I had fallen asleep I had woken up. My parents had come home, earlier than normal. Lazily, I get out of bed and rush downstairs but I halt as I hear my name.

"I can't let her do it Sathe!" My mother cried to my father.

"Nithia, it's her decision and I know we don't like it. I am sure of her though she won't end up like them!" My father said and I felt a rush of reassurance. My Father believes in me! My eyes start flooding with tears and it wasn't long until my parents hear my sobbing.

"Oh, Vidia!" My Mother mumbled, throwing me into a hug. I look over to my Dad and he smile - giving me a thumbs up.

If they believe in me. I can win and I will win.

I like how I wrote these two! But do you? Then leave a review!

Who do you prefer?

Who will last longer?

Will either of them get victory?

Also I am cutting down on swearing and am going to be using substitutes!
