District 9 reaping:

Krane Snaketh (18) (District 9 Female pov):

I put down my pencil as I realize that today is Reaping day and that I got to finish writing for now to get to the reaping cause I might not come back tonight. It has been my lifelong dream to publish a book written by me that could help anyone in district 9 or anyone in any Panem get other something that has traumatized that and become someone stronger than they were before.

I finish this chapter about my own traumatic experienced being attacked and almost raped by that old man who was executed the next day. After that day however I got more labour jobs to get more powerful so no one can do that to me again and so that I can protect myself better than I was before.

I head downstairs, say hi to my parents and grab a small bit to eat before I head out to meet my best friend. As I exit out of my house, I head towards our normal meeting place since we became friends 3 years ago... when he saved me from my attacker.

I'm almost at the justice building when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and it's my best friend Moren Korth. This is the friend who saved me and gave me supplies to continue writing as my family were having a hard time with money. Without him my live could have been completely different.

"Hey!" I hug Moren nervously as I'm scared about the reaping as is everyone. I look at him and see the same sweet boy with brown hair and eyes.

"Hey! What's with the turtle neck?" Moren asks me hugging me back. This turtle neck has been what I have worn to the reaping's for the last 2 years.

"You know this is what I have been wearing to the reaping's for a while Moren." I answer while laughingly hitting his arm.

"I know, who do you think will be reaped today?" Moren quires me as we do every year.

"It's probably going to be a 15 year old or a 18 year old volunteer." I answer honestly, it's never been two 18 year olds reaped and if so we would have more victors than we have right now. We walk towards the justice building and talk about other things like our families until.

"What did you write about this morning?" Moren know what I wrote about but he asks me this to try to get me to come out of my shell and to talk about what happened that night and how it affected me other than writing about it.

"Nice try Moren, you know I don't like talking about that night but I will one day." I answer Moren and from then on, we walk to the justice building in silence. Just before I go to sign in, I turn and hug Moren goodbye.

"See you after the reapings." I say as I turn around to sign in and go to the 18 year old age category. As we wait for our escort to come on stage, I look around for Moren. I see him and we make eye contact. He nods my way and I feel a layer of neveousness leave my body as I feel like he is here beside me.

"Welcome, welcome District 9 to the 150th hunger games and the 6th Quarter Quell!" I jump as our escort speaks right into the mic at the top of his lungs.

"I'm Maximus and I will be your new escort for these next few years!" Maximus again shouts into the mic making us cover ears this time as the mic squeaks along with his voice.

"Let's pick a lucky female to be put into the game!" Maximus reaches into the female bowl and picks out a slip and goes back to the mic.

"Krane Snaketh!" I'm shocked why me. Out of everyone why does it have to be me that is picked to go into the hunger games. I can't let my first image to the capitol be one of shocked though I have to act strong even though that is the opposite of what is going through my mind at this moment of time.

I put my head up strong, and have this proud look on my face as I look unfazed by those around me looking shocked, as I walk towards the stage and stand next to Maximus. The whole district goes into applause as they see me as their chance of having a new victor.

"Well done Krane! Now for the boys." I see Maximus go to the male bowl and pick a name out.

"Rylian Belire!" I see a boy about 17 years of age go still and glossy eyed so he has to be shaken to start walking towards the stage. Even though he looks scared and shocked that he is going into the games. Rylian stands on the other side of Maximus and awaits what comes next along with me.

"Here are your tribute District 9! Wish them luck in this year's HUNGER GAMES! Now shake hands tributes." Maximus says to us. As we do it, I look at Rylian in the eyes to try to convey a message that we need to speak on the train.

As soon as we do, we are pushed towards the justice building and into a room to wait for our vistors. The first of my visitors are my parents. We hug and sit down for our 3 minutes as they don't need to say anything to me as I already know that I have a high percentage chance to win these games. We hug one last time before they are ripped from my arms by peacekeepers.

My next visitor is Moren and we hug right away.

"I know you don't need to hear this but I know you can learn to use a weapon the fastest out of any other tribute in the games. Use that to learn a weapon that can be used to kill the careers before they can kill you." Moren says to me while we are still hugging for dear life.

"I know but what type of weapon should I pick?" I ask Moren.

"Pick a long range weapon, like a knife or a bow. If not then learn how to use a sword or a spear to kill those at a longer range." We then just hug until he is also ripped from my arms and I wait in silence for the train to the capitol.

Rylian Belire (17) (District 9 Male pov):

"Hey Rylian you listening?" Tanz asks me. I quickly shake out of my quiet personality I have in front of everyone and go into a more outgoing personality that I have for my friends.

"What? Yea sorry I guess I haven't woken up yet today." I try to joke but I know that Tanz knows I'm lying. I have been an introvert ever since I was young as I never had any friends until I was 12 and Tanz, Lavenne and Paxton saved me from some bullies.

"We all know you aren't in a talkative mode on reaping day Rylian," Lavenne says kindly to me. "We all know you are thinking that you will be in the games cause you have taken out so much tesserae." She's right if I didn't then my mother would have died cause she is very ill and without that tesserae we wouldn't have enough money to get food.

As soon as she says this, she hugs me and I go red in the face like a tomato and fell silent again. I hope she isn't looking at my face. I see that Tanz can see me and is I try to tell him to stop Paxton to not look otherwise I won't hear the end of it.

As soon as she lets go, we start to head towards the justice building so we can get the reaping out of the way. We all sign in and head to our age categories to await our escort. While I stand on my own, I look at Paxton and Tanz and give them a nod of good luck and they do the same back. I then do the same to Lavenne.

"Welcome, welcome District 9 to the 150th hunger games and the 6th Quarter Quell!" I jump as our escort speaks right into the mic at the top of his lungs.

"I'm Maximus and I will be your new escort for these next few years!" Maximus again shouts into the mic making us cover ears this time as the mic squeaks along with his voice.

"Let's pick a lucky female to be put into the game!" Maximus reaches into the female bowl and picks out a slip and goes back to the mic.

"Krane Snaketh!" I'm shocked as Krane is one of the strongest and smartest people in the whole of District 9. I'm also surprized that she looks proud to be going into the games. However, I think that everyone can tell she hates being reaped and is scared for her life. As she reaches Maximus and stands next to him the whole District applauses.

"Well done Krane! Now for the boys." I see Maximus go to the male bowl and pick a name out.

"Rylian Belire!" When I hear my name, I immediately go so glassy eyed that he person next to me has to shake me to get me out of it and get me to go up to the stage. I somehow manage not to cry as most tributes in our district do. I go up and stand on the other side of Maximus and wait for him to continue with the reaping.

"Here are your tribute District 9! Wish them luck in this year's HUNGER GAMES! Now shake hands tributes." Maximus says to us. As we do it, I look at Krane and see that she wants me to talk to her on the train to the Capitol.

As soon as we do, we are pushed towards the justice building and into a room to wait for our visitors. The first of my visitors is my father. We hug for a minute then he starts to talk.

"I know you don't want to hear this but you can win these games ok. Make an alliance with Krane and more tributes so that you have protection in the arena. Maybe the tributes from 13 can make good in an alliance-" Before he could continue peacekeepers come in and take him away.

The next victors are Paxton and Tanz. They come in and we man hug before we start to talk.

"We know you can win. Make sure you get a weapon and an alliance before anyone else kills you." We stand there for a minute not knowing what else to say but Tanz break the silence.

"Lavenne will be in after else she wanted it to be only her." Tanz then winks at me knowing that I have a crush on her from earlier.

Just then peacekeepers come in and drag them away.

"Remember what we said in the arena." They leave and then Lavenne comes in and hugs me.

"Come back to me ok? Come back to us. I don't know what we would do without. What I would do without you." She then turns to me and kisses me.

I don't know what to do expect so I kiss back as this is what I wanted from my life. We stop as I don't want to lead her on.

"We should stop, I don't want you to get attached to me so when I die you can continue in life without me cause we both know I'm going to die." Right after I say this, she slaps me.

"Don't say that! You can win this thing. Use a sickle to kill people I know you can use one the best out of anyone in District 9." As soon as she says this she is forced out of the room by peacekeepers and I await the train to the capitol hoping I have the stuff to win these games.
