Carsyn Bennet

District 12

Fallon's blue eyes are glued to the Cornucopia. All of a sudden, everyone runs off the platforms and to it. She too runs, grabbing a pack and a knife. With a small 'aha' she runs off into the woods.

As she hides in a tree, red liquid starts to seep from her back. She gasps and turns to look at her back, where a long gash is located. In her panic she falls from the tree, hitting the ground hard.

"Well well. Look who we have here, hmm? A lovely day isn't it." Fallon's fear-filled eyes are now locked onto the smug face of Rain Opali. "You realize now you have to die right? My dear friend Avarice has already maimed you though, a shame, a shame."

Fallon slowly stands, her eyes never leaving Rain's. She holds her knife in front of her, ready to kill her opponent.

"Don't be hurting anyone here Fallon. You don't want too." Rain snatches up the knife from Fallon's shaky grip quite easily, and soon she is literally carving into Fallon, and Fallon's screams echo through the arena.

"No!" I yell, but it is no use. Fallon's too far away to hear.

I wake up like I would any other day, despite the terrible, but true, nightmare. My sheets are on the ground, and I'm freezing. I never understand why my sheets end up on the ground, especially with how cold I always am when I wake up.

I get slowly out of bed, seeing as I am still half asleep and all. I stay there for just a moment, so that I can finish waking up, before walking over to the dresser in my room. It is a white dresser, and was my sisters before she was reaped.

After Fallon's terrible death, I vowed to get revenge on capitol. They took her away, without even a 'sorry we killed your sister!' They even keep us locked up in this stupid district.

I take a deep breath to clear my thoughts, and open the white handled door of the dresser. I pull out a white shirt, and slip it on, then look for a pair of pants, finally spotting a faded old pair, which somehow still look decent. I slip those on also,

As I am about to leave the room, I grab two things. One is my sister's necklace, which I slip around my neck before searching for the other item. The other item is a dream catcher my sister made me before she was reaped. I used to have bad dreams, and she wanted to help. She made this for me, for that reason. I stick it in my pocket before heading down the hall.

I only live with my mom and dad now that Fallon is gone, so it gets pretty quiet other then my father's occasional comments and the sizzling of the frying pan. Sometimes its nice though, not that I'll admit that. Instead I just say goodbye and leave to the reaping, where I am sure I won't get picked. After all, there are thousands of slips.

First, I would have to stop at some friends houses. I had hours until the reaping.

OoOoO

I snuck through the District 12 crowd, and finally landed by some of my friends in the 17's section. By the time I get there, everyone is silent and watching Mayor Nicole Bennett.

"Welcome Jay Trinket!" He yells, and I watch Effie Trinket's son walk out, his orange eyes wide in excitement.

"Ladies first!" He calls out, and then makes his way over to the girls' bowel. The first thing I do is hope it isn't Fallon, but then I remember it can't be anyway. Instead I just watch.

"Sage Nicole Bennett!" I watch the mayor's daughter walk up, and instantly feel pity for her. If I were her, I would never have thought I would get picked.

"And now the boys!" Jay calls out, then steps over to the boys' bowel, proceeding to pull out a name, which I hope isn't mine or any of my friends..

"Carsyn Bennett!" I suck in a deep breath as I walk calmly up to the stage. First my sister, now me? Next year it would probably be someone I knew. They were out to get us.

Jay forces us to shake hands, and she smiles a bit at me, which I am too angry to return. I hate the capitol for ruining my family.

"Congratulations to the tributes from District Twelve, Sage and Carsyn! Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!"

OoOoO

I have many people from school come to send me off, two of which confessed their love to me even though I don't know how they even are. At the moment, I honestly don't care. I'm to busy thinking of the fact I'm about to be sent off to The Hunger Games!

"You'll be fine Carsyn." My mother says as she walks in, and even though her voice is wavering I try to believe her.

"I'll try." I say with a small smile. "I'll come back, okay?"

She nods and leaves the room, without even a goodbye. I know she only does this because she is about to start crying, and I know for a fact it's the capitols fault.

Next up my dad came in, and he mostly sat in silence, watching me with a sad look on his face. Finally I started to get annoyed.

"Dad?" I ask, not wanting to be mean.

"Do good." He says.

"I will. I promise." A slight smile appears on my face, but it's just to cover the fact I'm also sad. He would never be able to tell the difference though.

"Good. Thank you." He follows my mother out, and I wait to go to the train.

Jesse Gale

District 4

"So what's it like in 9, Keiran?" Rikki asks. I turn to Keiran as we wait for his reply.

"Oh you know, how it's like everywhere. We shoot animals, don't get to eat them, send them off to Capitol." He shrugs. "You know, the usual."

"Sounds like killing with a spear, except you actually need some kind of aim with a spear." I regret saying the words as soon as they come out, but I cant take them back now.

"You need aim with the weapons we use, too. We can't just shoot and expect to eat a tree for lunch. Although, it would be a good source of protein." Keiran says with a small laugh. I roll my eyes in response.

"You sure? And its fiber." I remind him, andRikki looks between the two of us slowly.

"Be nice guys. We aren't allowed to fight, remember?" She says urgently, but I can tell its fake.

"I'm not fighting. Romeo over here is the one yelling at me." Keiran shrugs as he places the blame on me, and I resist the urge to punch him in the face.

"Romeo? And for what reason? Am I not allowed to actually like someone here?" I cross my eyes as I wait for whatever smart-ass answer he will come up with next.

"Fine, but when you end up dying doesn't come crying to me." He shrugs and begins to talk to Nan and Wes instead, and I turn to Rikki.

"Don't let him bug you." She gives me a soft smile, and I nod my head in agreement.

"For now." I answer, a small smile on my face.

A/N – So waddo yah think? Off to the Capitol!

I'm trying to come up with ideas on how they find out about the fact that they are going to be in the quell. I think I have an idea, and ill type it up, but it will be an extra, short chapter.

But the districts are done (:
