"Lily! Go wake Anne up! It's Reaping Day!" Mom tells Lily at 6:00 in the morning. Lily, my younger sister is 12, I am 13. It's her first Reaping and she scared to death. She comes in my room to awake me but, I am already up. I decided to get some fresh air that morning and just got back. The boats did too. My father walks with me into the hallway. "Anne Louise Odair" he says in his firm voice "If they call your name in that Reaping I want you to be ready to be a Capitol Reality TV spawn. In those interviews you better get some sponsors. I know things about the games. Your grandfather won them by getting a trident from a sponsor. Find ally's in the training center. If you see a bow and arrow or a trident get it. Get a backpack. Run.". "But, Dad what if Lily's name gets called?" I ask him. He says "Volunteer".

"It's time to get ready!" Mom calls "I've got your dresses!". I gulp down the rest of my cereal and follow my mom into the closet. "Anne, dear. You wear something blue. Lily will wear green.". I pick a lacy cool colored patterned dress. I wear my normal black church flats. Lily picks a chevron patterned green and white day dress. She wears the same black flats as I am. "You too need to fix your hair. Come with me." We follow our mom into the bathroom. She fixes my hair into a braided bun on the back of my head. Lily has two braids flowing down her back. Her long strawberry blonde hair is longer then mine. I have sandy blonde hair like my dad. I got my mom's grey blue eyes, so did my sister. My brothers are out playing in the sand. There's Finnick, Gabe, and Luka. Finnick has my dad's sandy blonde hair and his sea green eyes. That's why he's named Finnick, he looks like him. Gabe has dirty blonde hair and blue-green eyes. No one knows where he got his hair color from. Luka has strawberry blonde hair and blue grey eyes. Finnick is 10, Gabe is 7, and Luka is 5. My mom sends us to get the boys.

"Finnick, Gabe, Luka! Where are you? It's Reaping Day I am going to leave." Of course they don't have to go but, they want to. They can't be picked yet. Soon three figures come up to me. "Hey guys. I am leaving to the Reaping if you don't come you May never see me again.". That got 'em. Gabe and Luka approach me in tears. I give them a hug. "It's okay. It's okay" I coax.

Once we are in lines a middle aged woman in a bright yellow pirate outfit walks up the stage.

"Ladies first," She says as she picks a name for the girl. Her nervousness turns to pure excitement and joy. A smile forms, not wicked, but Capitol-y

"The female tribute from District Four is,"

"Lily Odair".

I did what my father said. I was gonna cry.

"STOP!" I yell "I VOULEENTER AS DISTRICT 4'S FEMALE TRIBUTE FOR THE HUNGER GAMES"

They bring me into the justice building. My family visits me. My father speaks of strategy. My mother of old times. My brothers of death. My sister of good luck and sorrow. "Take this back" Lily hands me the gold flaming bracelet. The one I gave her when she turned 10. The family heirloom that belonged to our grandfather, Finnick Odair. My grandmother gave it to me when I was younger. The Grandmother I was named after. Anne Louise Odair is my name. I was named after Annie Cresta Odair (And a historic state for millinea ago). I say my goodbyes.

My grandmother comes in tears, she mutters "I'm sorry I'm sorry" over again. She hugs me. "Make me proud." She leaves

Then a boy visits. A boy I love. A boy who's name or heart I do not know. "I'm sorry, Anne" He says. His voice is comforting. He introduces himself as Carlos Lauderdale, a fisherman's son from the poor part of 4. I watched him all through school. I hug him. His body is warm. It's time to go. I just lost him. I just met the one. Before i die.
