Reaping Recaps!
Still Missing Check-Ins For:
Dylan Angel
Brooke Reefside
Remus Snow
Great Grandson To The Renowned President Snow, 20, President Of Panem
I stumble out my limo and into our arranged meeting space. The wind is quite heavy and it pushes back my sandy, blonde hair. Every time I see a glimpse of myself I feel faint, I am so hot! I glance up at my hair a few more times and pull out a mirror but I am stopped as the Head Gamemaker (Felcia) invites me in.
"So President, we will start with District 1 and then onwards?" She asks me and I nod in agreement but I honestly couldn't care less. "Ok, first up we have Sapphire Rose Richmonne." She plays a clip and I watch to see what will become of a new career pack. The escort, Fiona, is wearing flowers all over her and has her typical green skin. Fiona walks over to the Female bow and I hear,
"Sapphire Rose Richmonne," shouted by her and I see people part for the girl. Wait. If she is reaped then why did no one volunteer? Her crystal blue eyes become glassy as she realizes no one is volunteering and she tries to hide her panic by shyly smiling, then I realize how tall she is. Probably taller than me and anyone in Panem! Okay maybe that is overdramatic but whatever. I watch as Sapphire takes Fiona's hand and shakes it and then Felcia pauses it.
"We have found that Sapphire's Father is fairly abusive and that she lives in the training center with her cat."
I nod and ask, "And the chosen volunteer?"
"Well we have done some research and after about an hour we found a huge payment from Caesar Gold to Morgan Weltere, about 6 hours before the reaping."
"So she was bribed?" And Felcia shrugs but that is probably the case.
"Here is when it gets interesting!" She laughs and says, "Caesar Gold was the chosen volunteer for the male spot and watch." She plays the video and Fiona shouts, "Fonot Pospere!" I giggle at the name and then see a muscular body leap out from the 18-year-old section.
"I volunteer. My name is Caesar Gold and I volunteer." Nice entrance I would say and Caesar brushes through his wavy, black hair. Then I catch a glimpse at his eyes, black, pure darkness. He stares into my soul.
The 2 tributes shake hands and District 1 is over.
"So Caesar, for some reason, wanted Morgan not to volunteer and we had a check to turn out that someone rigged the reaping. All names in the bowl were Sapphire but we can't do anything about it now. Caesar is just a typical career. He is rich and trains like it's his life." I tell her to carry on to District 2 and so we do.
"First up Vidia Ciele." And she plays the clip. The escort for District 2 is new and I believed escorted for District 8 beforehand. Her name is Aphrodite and is wearing a big red dress and dyed white skin, not the skin color white just white. A name is called and just like that another volunteer. Vidia is tall and has a natural build, her white dress flows behind her as she reaches the stage and shouts,
'For my brother and sister!" Immediately, the crowd roars with excitement and the clip are paused.
"You may remember Ciele. Her brother, Farcer, was reaped for the 146th Games and died around 13th but her sister is who you will likely remember." I do, May, she died last year in second place. So I nod and tell her to carry on.
"Ok, Xavier Hunter." The video begins to play
"Scythe Corstere!" cries Aphrodite and Xavier volunteers right after the reaped boy's name was shouted.
Xavier was blonde and handsome but he had dark, angry-looking eyes. They stared into the camera like they wanted to kill the audience and he then runs up to the stage in his white suit - cursing.
"His brother died as an early tribute in the 147th Games and as you can tell he is pretty angry but we have him under control."
"Next," I say.
"Arlene Marven."
District 3's escort looks horrific. He wears massive blue shades and has dark red skin with long green hair. "Arlene Marven!" I watch as an opened mouthed Arlene is pushed up to the stage and her black hair stands up on end, her brown eyes dart may be looking for someone.
"Arlene lives in a community home and is said to be abused a lot there." This is typical for a lot of District 3's.
"Now, Winston Harvard."
The video started up again and "Winston Harvard," is called. A boy from the 16-year-old section begins to cry and a crowd parts to reveal him. Winston has wavy brown hair that covers his face but is pushed back when a Peacekeeper grabs him. He has olive pale skin and bright green eyes and his face is full of blotchy red spots to show he's crying.
"Winston's Mother died at childbirth and his Father from an unknown disease. He and his 3 years older sister moved in with his grandparents. His Grandmother has Alzheimer's and won't live for much longer and his sister ran away from the District and into the woods but later died with her Fiance. His sister had a baby that she left with Winston and the 2 are very close." She knows I have no questions and moves on.
"Brooke Reefside."
4's escort wastes no time and jumps to the female bowl in her sea-green dress. Despite most escorts, Basey is the most normal. Her skin is a normal shade of brown and her eyes are bright blue. Before I can think about her anymore as a name is shouted, "Maisley Fortill!" I watch as a girl volunteers and I see her flip her caramel hair as she moves her tanned body up the stage. She wears a purple, sleeveless, dress that I love!
"Ok, Brooke is a normal Career. She trains a lot and always surfs, she has a normal family: Mom, Dad, and younger sister."
Finally, someone more normal I think and sigh as Felcia moves on.
"And, Dylan Angel."
"Manna Forko." Basey shouts and the boy copies what Brooke does and runs up to the stage smirking and shaking his jet black hair to reveal his sea-green eyes and pale skin.
"Dylan's Mother died when he was young and his father is now a major alcoholic - always beating Dylan up. He and Brooke dated for a while and were both the chosen volunteers." Not as normal as Brooke but still fairly normal.
"In District 5 we have Loren Tryler."
The District 5 escort is Paisel and she is normally there, she has yellow skin and wears all sunflower clothing. "Loren Tryler!" She screams and Loren walks from the 18-year-old section, her bright, blue eyes were focused. She pushed back her auburn hair and told the escort she was determined and then brushed down her purple dress. "We have done quite a bit of research and turns out she takes out a lot of tesserae and then later found out about an illegal training center she had been training at. We will close it down immediately and all participants will be punished." I narrowed my eyes and spoke,
"No. Don't close it and don't punish them. If careers can train so can other Districts." She nods and goes to Loren's District partner.
"This is Kliar."
When a young boy's name is not Kliar I get confused and then I hear a low voice from the 18-year-old boys - volunteering. Then I see a tall boy, around 6 ft, with brown hair and grey eyes running up to the stage. He then hugs Loren and they shake hands.
"Kliar is also part of this training group and started taking out many tesserae after his Mother died." I nod and feel for the 2 who have to take out food.
"In District 6: Harrick Cartler."
District 6 has a fairly boring mentor, she has on jeans and a white shirt, her hair is normal brown color but she has normally tanned skin.
"Okay... Um, Harrick Cartler." There is some rustling in the 13-year-old section and Harrick finally reveals himself, he keeps a straight poker face and walks up shaking Lianna's hand. He has bright blue eyes and underneath many freckles, he pushes back his light brown hair and tucks his grubby white shirt into his grey baggy trousers.
"Harrick's brother's were whipped and hanged after stealing train parts from their work. He lives with his Mom, Dad, and Sister in a train factory." He seems pretty normal.
"And his District partner is Jean Broderick."
Jean's name is called and she keeps a similar expression to Harrick and walks up without complaint but I can see in her eyes that she knows, she knows she my will die. She looks fairly strong and has her dark, black hair in a tight ponytail. She and Lianna are matching and smile at each other before the two shake hands and leave.
"Jean has 2 older sisters and 2 younger sisters, they are all stereotypical whereas Jean is not and more of a tomboy, she works at her Father's auto mechanic business. They are fairly well-off."
"Now District 7 we have an interesting pair but we'll start with Samara."
Oh no, Ritel has gone over the top again. This year she has dyed an unnatural shade of brown onto her already brown skin and dyed her hair green into a little afro: she is a tree, a goddamn tree. Ritel giggles and she bounces to the female bowl, "Samara... Hazel... Hollins!" Suddenly, a shaking 16-year-old girl stumbles out of her section and walks up to tree lady. She wears an old worn-in hoodie and sweatpants, ew! Her brown hair is straight but naturally and her deep brown eyes have a dull sparkle to them. She says nothing and the video stops.
"Samara is a servant, sold by her Father, to the Coutts family and her Father never saw her again." I lift my eyebrows and she carries on to the male tribute.
"Eoghan, Eoghan Coutts."
Ritel pushes Samara out of the way and bounces to the Male bowl, "Reece Fayvel!" She cries and I am surprised not to hear Eoghan Coutts.
"I volunteer!" A voice squeaks, obviously unsure and then a boy in a black beanie and a nice suit runs up to the stage and hugs Samara. They know each other and Eoghan shouts down the mic,
"This year is our year District 7! We will come back or one of us will..." The video is paused and yet again Felcia explains,
"Samara is Eoghan's slave and they are shown to befriend which his parents would hate if they knew. He has a brother called Oaken with autism and he is pretty wealthy."
"Interesting," I say aloud and then nod for her to keep going.
"So in District 8, we have firstly, Embry Doe Ri."
The mentor is very colorful and although he has a normal shade of white skin color, that's a first, his hair is rainbow along with a long toga that is also rainbow. He looks like a clown, next year I am choosing the escorts. He grabs a slip and reads out her name. Immediately, I hear a scream from one of the 18 females and soon the scream is found. Embry begins to cry as she reaches the stage, escorted by a Peacekeeper, and she slaps down the escort's hand. I love her outfit and her sassiness! She is wearing a full out pink pull up and pink makeup.
"Embry has been caught by Peacekeepers doing many things like Sneaking out the district, messing with peacekeepers and even pulling pranks on the mayor. But it's all told to be mostly her brother as the ring leader and she won't be a problem."
"Now we have Reuben Boyle."
The rainbow pulls a name from the male bowl and reads out,
"Reuben Boyle." He then repeats himself louder, "Reuben Boyle!" It wasn't long before another cry could be heard from the 12-year-old Male's and young Reuben comes out. He is very short, probably not even 5 ft, and has a stocky frame. He has dark skin and honey-brown eyes, also with a new hair cut that fits nicely with his dark black hair. The video pauses as the 2 shake hands.
"Reuben is 12 and at school is in a class with 16-year-olds - due to his intelligence. He has 2 brothers and 3 sisters, him being the youngest, is favorited." Normal kid, I guess but he will probably make it far because of his smarts.
"District 9 Female is Field Bracken-Lietré."
The video starts again and this time we have an escort I finally like. She has toffee brown, wavy hair and cat ear headband along with black lingerie and a black skirt. Pia - my wife! I clap as she walks over to the Female bowl, "Field Bracken-Lietree!" My wife cries with enthusiasm and I see an average height girl come from the 14-year-old section, she is biracial and has jet black hair along with brown eyes and she taps my wife on the shoulder,
"It's pronounced LEE EH TRAY." She squeaks and my wife apologizes, I roll my eyes and mock her.
"LEE EH TRAY." Felcia eyes me and pauses the video.
"So... Field is fairly normal. She has 2 sisters and 2 brothers along with her Mom and Dad, they are pretty poor." I shrug and we move on.
"And now Jack Sanford."
My wife calls his name and the tanned boy walks out of the 16-year-old section with fear in his hazel, green eyes. He is lanky and tall and wears taupe dress pants with a grey collared shirt. He shakes hand with Field and the video stops.
"Jack takes out a lot of tesserae and his Father was beaten and killed by Peacekeepers because he thieved when Jack was 13."
"Firstly for District 10 is Mahala Gibson."
An 18-year-old as an escort? He is only like 5ft 10" so he must be 18. Ugh, he wears a pig onesie. Ridiculous! He announces himself as Cooper and then moves to the Female bowl. "Mahala Grisbon." He stutters on the last name and then a muscly 15-year-old began to walk up. She has brown dreadlocks and hazel eyes. She winked at the audience and smiled before standing next to Cooper.
"Mahala had some brain damage when she was 3 and was abandoned but is completely fine now. She lives with a man called Nicholas and his son Lamen after they took her in as their own." Hm. Sounds a bit strange, I will have to keep an eye on her.
"And Lex Cole."
Cooper stumbles over to the male bowl and pulls out a slip, "LEX COLEEEEE!" He bellows and a disgusted looking boy in a plaid shirt and jeans walks up the steps. He is tall and athletic but slightly scrawny, probably due to the amount of food he has dirty blond hair and hazel eyes. He hesitates but shakes hands with the smiling Mahala.
"It's been on his records that he has thieved a few times for his hungry siblings and his Father is seemingly dead. His mother works at a local farm along with Lex and they are very poor."
"Next district," I say and she does just that.
"Nevaeh Rechwhal."
The male escort doesn't look pleased and looks out disgusted in his all blue clothing, he is probably mad being stuck in one of (if not) the worst districts. 11 hadn't had a victor in about 28 years. He finally walks over to the female bowl and lazily calls out, "Saiorse Rechwhal..." A scream is heard from the 14-year-olds and a thump is later heard suddenly another girl shouts,
"I volunteer!" Nevaeh is tall and has elbow-length hair along with her soft, hazel eyes. She wears a blue romper and black leggings. The video is paused when she is about to say her name.
"Nevaeh volunteered to save her mute, adopted, sister. Her Dad has been whipped a few times for his bad temper towards Peacekeepers and her parents are both farmers." I signal her to go to the male.
"Quail Arend for our Male."
The escort tediously picks a name and shouts,
"Quail Arend." A nervous 18-year-old boy begins to walk up with a straight face, he wears a white shirt and ugly blue, baggy pants and has short dark hair with normal tanned skin color. He walks towards Nevaeh and gives her a firm handshake before the 2 head inside.
"Quail is very poor and takes out quite a bit of tessera, him and his brother work by milking cows and his Mother was paralyzed from the chest down during an accident in the fields. Quail's Father also works in the fields like his wife."
"How unfortunate," I reply and we carry on.
"Our last female is Piper Ramms."
The District 12 escort doesn't look happy either and I know why. Last year, Natalia had worked herself up to District 2 and I don't think she was too happy about being moved down to the District with 2 victors alive - Maia and Whinney. She gets on with it and speed walks towards the Female bowl,
"Piper, Piper Ramms?" She asks the audience and then a 13-year-old girl begins to cry and walk up to the stage. She is very short and has olive, pale skin and brown eyes, she also looks very ill. She winces as she shakes hands with Natalia and it's paused.
"Piper is currently very ill having nothing to eat and lives with her single Father after her Mother died in childbirth but don't worry she will have plenty of food while here and will be healed soon." Poor girl.
"Our last male and last tribute are Friday Evans."
Natalia manages to drag herself to the male bowl and takes out a slip,
"Friday Evans!" She says with 0 enthusiasm and a sad looking, 12 year old, boy walks to the stage slowly. He brushes back his bright blonde eyes to reveal his pale skin and hazel eyes. He shakes hands with timid Piper and the last tributes leave to say their goodbyes.
A new check-in:
What is your tribute/s favorite color? You should now how this works by now!
I hope this chapter is ok because I know I didn't fit in all the details and it is a bit short but it took me 2 days to complete - I am a slow writer.
What do you think of the president?
Who's your favorite tribute?
Was this an alright chapter?
6 Goodbye POV's next.
