Sorry, this took so long, I needed a few more things before I could start writing. I hope you like these two. Oh and FYI, don't bet on the fact that Easter break means more updates, I have a lot of College work to get done BUT I will try to update once a day. Anyway, enjoy!

Lux Hymenoor POV:

They were rushing the line this year, most children were being forced towards the square. I glanced over to my boyfriend Brites and frowned. He gave a shrug in reply and continued to walk forward. I was only three people away from having my finger pricked when a boy pushed me to the floor and took my place.

"Hey, what was-"

"Shut the fuck up, you fag!" He screamed, his face red with frustration. Brites looked back and clenched his fists.

"Look, leave him alone and go back to your place," he said calmly, placing his hand on the boys shoulder. The stocky male looked down at his hand and spat on it. Brites pulled it away and wiped it on his pants, glaring at the man, I have known Brites for years, he would never get into fights but the man was still pushing his luck.

"Next!" one of the Peacekeepers shouted at us. The red haired male smiled, crossing his arms and nodding for Brites to go on. My boyfriend looked down at me as I scrambled to my feet and stepped forward. A small boy watched me get up and moved backwords, allowing space for me.

"Thank you," I said, the young boy just gave a small smile, avoiding the gaze of the strong male in front of me. Up until a few months ago, no one bothered me, I doubt most people knew I was breathing. I worked in the solar fields with my childhood friend, Brites. Not even the Peacekeepers bothered us, it was too much trouble for them to make the trek down to us. For years, my relationship with Brites was a secret, no one knew we were more than friends. Until an elderly man noticed us making out and rushed to our homes to alert our families.

After that, the hate we got was terrifying. People broke into my house and stole from my family, I couldn't go to school without getting stagnant water thrown over me. People wouldn't even let me sit next to them anymore. People like the young boy were hard to come by. My family hated it too, they banned me from seeing Brites if I wanted to live at home. As much as I loved Brites, I didn't have the money to make it on my own. I still got to see him at work though so I guess it worked out in our favor. As long as we did our job, no one there cared.

I rocked back and forth on my feet as I tried to pay no attention to the judging looks. Our escort tore open one of the golden envelopes and spoke.

"Our first tribute is...LuxHymenoor!" the crowd around me cheered but I felt light headed. Some of the boys next to me pushed me towards the Peacekeepers screaming insults about my sexuality. My personally favorite was cocksucker, it was nice that they learned something in sex education. One thing annoyed me as I took to the stage. Our District was full of thieves, killers, and even rapists. Yet, they picked me. My District chose me, an innocent man, over them because I was gay. I tried not to cry as I looked around the District. Then I noticed something. The little boy from earlier. He was stood holding hands with the boy next to him, crying as people shouted their insults. I gave him a smile but his grip on the other boy's hand became tighter. I couldn't let what happen to me and Brites happen to them. I would win and hopefully, change my Districts view on sexuality. Maybe even save those boys from a lifetime of pain. They were insulting me now but they would have no choice but to love me when I came home.

Andalusia Electra POV:

The boy that my District had chosen, Lux what's his face, was pathetic. Not because of his sexuality. I didn't care about that in the slightest. Who peopled fucked in their free time didn't concern me. What did concern me was how weak he was. We had a chance to vote for someone strong, someone who could bring us a victory. I wasn't one for glory or even giving a shit if someone got home to their family or not. I did like the idea of free gifts from The Capitol and more money to go back into the District, getting machines to make my job easier. I also couldn't stand fools and this was just stupid.

I voted for a rapist that was stood next to Lux and threw homophobic slurs at him. He was strong, smart and deadly. Yet, everyone around me cared more about punishing something as minor as a sexuality than getting a victor this year. The only victor we had won years ago and was about as down to earth as a blimp.

My mother hadn't spoken to me since I came clean about my crimes. She was broken, watching me tie my shoes with fear in her eyes. We had always been close since I was a little girl, my father absent from my life due to being stationed in District Four. This was the first time she seemed frightened of me. I understood, how could her perfect little thirteen-year-old daughter be so twisted that she would kill two people? I asked myself a similar question, how could someone as smart as me lose to Cable?

I spent all month building my science project only to lose to a shitty volcano Cable had made. I watched with hatred as he was given a large bag of Capitol imported sweets and felt my blood boil. I followed him home that night, admitted, I didn't intend to kill him, only to steal his sweets but he just wouldn't let go. I plunged the knife into his chest, screaming with each thrust.

I grabbed the sweets and turned to run when my teacher screamed and tried to go and get help. She was a short woman so it wasn't hard to catch up with her and drag my dagger across her throat. I didn't think I would get away with it myself but I somehow did. The whole town suspected me but the Peacekeepers did nothing, most likely because they knew my father.

When I heard my name called I sighed and put on the water works, walking slowly to the stage, rubbing my eyes. When I got onto the stage, Lux knelt down to my height and stroked my blonde hair and told me it was going to be okay. His voice cracked and I could tell he was trying to stay strong for me. I almost cried...almost. Truth was, I was excited for these Games. There was no doubt I would be coming home if I could play my cards right. I killed my own dog and her puppies for chewing my dress. These hated kids were going to be easy pickings for me.
