" willow run! " Robbie screams from the woods

I run as fast as I can I bump into the boy from 3, he stabs me right in the stomach and I fall to the ground

"willow, wake up, don't die on me" I hear Corrie say as he holds my head.

"willow!"

Papa hay is standing by the side of his bed trying to wake me up. I sit up.

" Right kiddo why were you in my bed" he asks

"I was scared I didn't want to sleep alone"

"ah right, I remember my first reaping I slept with my mum" he says sitting next to me and rapping an arm round me

"what if one of my friends are picked"

"it the first reaping in 20 years, try think positive, okay kiddo?"

"Okay papa hay, thankyou" I say and give him a hug and head to get changed

i walk into my bedroom and my mum has laid out a little dress, it's a cotton blue. I put it on and it goes till just above my knees, around the middle is a white bow sitting so innocently.

I here a knock at the door and it my mum.

"Mum, why did you get me a dress" I ask

" well I had a dress similar to this when it was my reaping but it got burnt in the bombing, I decided to get you one because you need to look presentable, I mean president Gillion is going to be here" she says. She has anger in the last sentence and I can see why.

i walk downstairs to see Rye dressed fancy as well, I give him a hug and he returns it.

I sit down for breakfast and no one is talking and it is silent

the phone rings and I immediately get up a get it.

"Cara!" I say happy to here from her

" willow I would just like to say good luck today"

" yeah me too Cara, good luck"

That's all we say cause we both know we need to go

my family and I head to the town square, when we get to the town square there is seats and a podium set on the stage and a big screen at the side, like when we were voting for the president.

My parents aren't aloud to mentor this year, they have been asked not to considering there past.

My parents say good luck and head to the crowd of people that are watching. I head over to the girls and Rye heads to the boys.

we got our figure pricked and I go and stand in the section for girls. After about 15 minutes everyone is ready and I hear Effie come on to the stage.

Effie hasn't retired or gone to another district, she really likes this job and she loves our parents, she used to come visit when I was small.

So hello everybody, it's been along time. As per usual I will play a clip and then get started, but as most of you know the Katniss everdeen and Peeta Mellark will not be mentoring this year and will be passed onto Haymitch,

now I would like to welcome president Gillion

She points to the doors and the doors open wide, president Gillion walks in waves and sits next to papa Hay

now lets get started,

We watch the video and it's very random before I know it the clip is finished and I feel myself heat up and I start breathing heavily.

now ladies first,

Rosian Hasworth

I sigh in relief but then I realise who it is, Rosian, she is 14 and she has no home and has a wee brother she has to look after her parents died. I give food to her I help her. If she goes in this games she won't come out. I can't let that happen.

i find myself running through the crowd, why am I doing this, I can't believe I'm doing this, I take a deep breath

"I volunteer" I say as I breath back out

"willow no!" I here Gabi shout out and I can here she is crying

"stay strong willow" I hear Noha call out

I walk up to the stairs fighting my tears, I give a hug to Effie and she starts to cry. I stand back and see who my partner is.

" now for the boys...

Noha Heidiom"

my face drops, no it can't be, not Noha.

Someone volunteer

someone volunteer

I keep repeating this but no one does.

everyone is shocked they all know we are best friends. This can't be happening. We shake hands and then the peace keeper drags us both away ripping us away from the crowd.

I get thrown into a small room, it has a sofa and a table with a glass of water.

First to walk in is Gabi, I run into her arms, she hugs me so tight I can barely breath but I don't care.

"I love you willow stay strong. I love you" she says and crys more and gives me a hug. Then I peacekeeper drags her away

"I love you too!" I shout hoping she heard me as the door slammed

next to enter is my family.

They don't say anything we just hug and that's the way I like it. Again hey are dragged away by peacekeepers.

I cry, I cry and cry I can't keep it in. It bad enough with me in the games but Noha aswell.

Peacekeepers lead me to the train where I meet Noha. I hug him and he hugs back I don't want to let go. It feels like a dream it's not fair for anyone.

this only happens so the Capitol can have some fun, urghhh I hate them so much.

We head for the train station. I got onto the train and Noha and papa hay are already sitting inside. I walk I into the main carriage first, there is a big wooden table piled with food. There is a bar running up on side of the carriage. In one of the corners there is a sofa and a TV. I'm shocked of how pretty this place is.

Noha and papa hay come up and hug me and we have a massive group hug. I am very thankful papa hay is our mentor, instead of some randomer.

we sit down ready to watch the reaping in other districts. Noha grabs a paper and pen and hands it to me to write everyone down.
