Hey there. I just did the District 6 and my work was deleted so I am super mad...
Harrick Cartler
District 6, 13, Male
5 years before the reaping...
"Wait up!" I cry and sprint out the factory doors.
"Harrick! What the hell, get back inside." Roland, my older brother, replies and I see Nolan shaking his head at me from the side. My 2 brothers run off but they have been so suspicious lately that I can't help follow them. I run after them for a few minutes before they stop at a mechanic store and start pulling parts out their shirts and pockets. No big deal. They are probably just helping around the train factory by selling parts but as I turn to leave I hear a deafening sound. A bullet. I spin around to see my brothers surrounded by peacekeepers. Luckily, the bullet was just a warning shot but I charge at them with my full might. It's not enough and I start pounding my fists on their backs trying to get to my brothers but it's no use so I begin to cry.
I can't give up now though do I run back to the factory leaving my brother with the Peacekeepers and push through employees, still sobbing. I finally make it to our room and rush in screaming, "Mama!" But instead of my mum my sister, Gloria, greets me and pulls me into a bear hug.
"Harrick? What's wrong?" She asks between kisses. Before I can answer my mum comes from the bathroom and I tell them everything and just as I finish my Dad rushes into our room gasping and breathing heavily. He ushers us forward and begins to run so we chase after him. After a good 5 minutes we arrive at the centre of our District and a wave of reassurance comes over me as I see my brothers but then I see the rope hanging from their neck...
I am never going to forget this and I will never forgive The Capitol.

I giggle as he jokes about my sisters. He has always been my biggest supporter and always calls me 'Dada's girl' because well I am! We talk and laugh with each other for hours on end as we work at our family business (Broderick Auto-Mechanics) my sisters have always been more 'feminine' as most would put it.
I finish up with my current job and go off for lunch. I usually like to go for lunch after my siblings are done but today I am so hungry I don't even care. As I sit at the table I eat my bread as fast as I can so I don't have to listen to their gossip. A few times I catch them looking at me but I act as if I am not bothered although it does make me wonder if they gossip about me sometimes.
"Anything else, sweetie?" My mum asks me and I scowl at her.
I hate that nickname, so feminine and babyish like come on I am 18 in two weeks. "Nope. I still have to polish Mr Brady's train parts before returning them to the factory." I reply and walk off but I don't feel like working so I go to the house next door. I knock on their door and I am immediately greeted by my best friend - Crew. "Hey Diffon." I say inviting myself in.
"Don't call me by my last name! You know I hate it, sweetie." He says smirking as I say the last word and I punch him in the stomach. We sit on the sofa and The Hunger Games is playing, the 80th to be exact, and I sit down as I watch the interviews.
I wonder what it would be like to go in there, hopefully I never find out. I laugh as I think that. I have one more year! Nothing to worry about.
That was pretty ok. Sorry if my POV's are too short!
Who do you prefer?
Who has a better chance of being victor?
Who will die first?
Answer these questions in your review! Coming with District 7 soon. Thanks to Carrot Lord and Lilah32 for these tributes.
