A/N: Just a day late with the chapter this time not a month.
Hopefully from this chapter I can get a tribute that will fill one district or more so I can continue writing this syot.
However, we got this district 12 to do first.
Chapter 7: District 12 reaping's.
Brook Hastings District 12 Female POV:
I wake up to my brother lightly pushing me.
"Come on Brooke we got to get to the reaping's in two hours."
As soon as he says this I leap out of my bed and run to my reaping outfit that I had laid out yesterday. A white dress that goes down to my knees and black shoes that used to belong to my brother.
As I collect my tribute token, a necklace with a piece of coal on it that used to belong to my mother, I start to remember what my life used to be like when my parents were alive. We used to live in a normal sized house for district 12 with loving parents.
Now, however, we leave in a shack on the outskirts if 12 with only one bed. The reason I get it is cause my brother is over protective of me and doesn't want to see me get harmed.
I head towards my brother who is beside the door waiting for me. I nod to Kolton that I'm ready to go and we leave heading towards the justice building. I see many children who are 12 or 13 crying as they know how horrific the games are and they don't want to be reaped for them, especially for a quarter quell which there parents surely have told them are more horrific them the normal games.
"Who do you think will be reaped, Kolton?" I ask my brother wanting to know his opinion on this matter. Also, we do this every year.
"I think it will be two 16 year olds and hopefully not us." Kolton says, I know he will be too shocked to volunteer to be in the games with me.
"May the odds be ever in our favour." I say jokily and this makes Kolton laugh and many people who are around us walking to the reaping's laugh as well.
We make it to the justice building and sign in. We hug before separating to our gender and age categories to wait for the escort.
We wait about 10 minutes before our escort, sliver, comes onto the stage.
"Welcome to the reaping's for the sixth quarter quell!" Sliver shouts into the microphone and pause to expect thunderous applause but no one claps and only a few cries of terror are heard.
"Fine, let's get this over with and pick the tributes starting with the girls" We all see Sliver go to the female tribute bowl and pick a slip.
"The female tribute for district 12 is... Brooke Hastings."
"NO!" I scream, I can't believe that I was picked over everyone else. My name was only in there 3 times how could this happen.
I walk onto the stage and look at everyone in our district and try to find my brother. I do and see that his face is shocked and speechless.
"Now for the boys." Sliver reaches to the boy's tribute bowl and picks out a slip.
"The male tribute for district 12 is..." She pauses then laughs. "Looks like we have a pair of siblings this year cause the male tribute for district 12 is Kolton Hastings!" Sliver finishes and is still laughing so she stands back to catch her breath.
I see Kolton looking so shocked that he can only walk on to the stage and stand next to me waiting for Sliver to stop laughing and get back so she can finish the reaping's.
"Here are your tributes for district 12." The district applauses but it is more solemn than usual.
Me and my brother shakes hands and this is when I know that my brother will want to make it so that I make it home instead of him.
We are then dragged to the visitor rooms and I know that no one will be seeing me so I sit down and wait for the peace keepers to take me to the train.
Kolton Hastings District 12 Male POV:
"The female tribute for District 12 is... Brooke Hastings."
"NO!" I hear someone scream but right now I feel numb and can't believe that my sister was reaped.
I see her on stage but still feel like I can't say or do anything to help her... even volunteering will not save her from the games. However, if I'm reaped alongside her I can protect her until the final two and make sure she makes it out of the games alive. If I'm not reaped I will volunteer for the boy who is reaped.
"Now for the boys." Sliver reaches to the boy's tribute bowl and picks out a slip.
"The male tribute for district 12 is..." She pauses then laughs. "Looks like we have a pair of siblings this year cause the male tribute for district 12 is Kolton Hastings!" Sliver finishes and is still laughing so she stands back to catch her breath.
However, I can't say anything. How can I be reaped alongside my sister? Looks like the odds were not in our favour this year. As I start to walk towards the stage, I realise now I can save my sister and have her be the second winner 12 has seen for the last 50 years and without her killing anybody.
As I stand next to Sliver, I put on a determined look that might make the career's scared of me and make our time in the arena better with the careers scared of us.
"Here are your tributes for district 12." The district applauses but it is more solemn than usual.
Me and my sister shakes hands, are dragged away to the justice building and are put in different visitor rooms. I know for certain that I will get no visitors along with my sister so I sit down and plan out what will happen in the games and how to keep my sister alive until the final 2.
A/N: That's district 12 done. Also, one of the shortest chapter's I have written for this syot. That's 14 tributes out of 26 reaped. There are only 6 tributes left that haven't been reserved or made yet and they are:
District 5 Male
District 8 Female
District 9 Male
Both from District 10
And District 13 Male.
Please submit a tribute and review what you liked about the chapter cause it will get you sponsor points and it will make my day.
Question for the chapter: Would you go to the feast or not?
