The Reaping
"Welcome, welcome, to the 3rd quarter quill." Effie Trinket says in a loud clear voice. Effie's wearing a slim dress that is shimmery blue and has a 2 blue flowers that matches the blue dress. One of the flowers are in Effie's light blue hair and the other flower is on the top left of the dress. "Now a video all the way from the Capitol!" It was the same video they play for every reaping. Instead of watching the video I look up at the podium I see Prim standing there in a grey dress and across from her I see Peeta's to older brothers, Rye and Bannock Mellark. When the video is done playing Effie looks at the crowd and takes a loud sigh. "As usual lady's first!" Effie says a little bit too forcefully. Effie puts her hand in the clear bowl that only has one white slip of paper. She twirls her around a bit and then grabs the slip of paper with her skinny fingers. She opens the slip of paper "Primrose Everdeen!" In the back I hear a quiet sob which is my mothers.
"Now for the men." Effie takes another sigh. She twirls the 2 pieces of paper around and grabs one of them. "Bannock Mellark!" Bannock steps forward. "Now shake hands you two."
Prim and Bannock both shake hands. Bannocks face has great deep sorrows. Effie leads both Prim and Bannock in to the Justice building. When everyone starts to exit the square, peace keepers walk up to us and say's he would escort us in to the Justice building where we could say good-bye to Prim.
When I see Prim I run to her and put my arms tight around her. I never want to let her go, I want to stay with her forever. I am now in a full out sob as my sister looks me in the eyes.
``Katniss I love you, take care because I will try my best to win," Prim tells me with her voice waving.
``Now it's my turn I need to see my little girl before she goes." My mother says directing it to me more than Prim.
My mother whispers something into my sisters ears but I cannot hear her because I and sobbing too loudly and too much.
"Times up, time to go!" Yells a peace keeper.
"Katniss I love you, don't you give up on me ever!" Yells Prim back at me.
Now we are alone in the Justice building, just me and my mother. We were told to exit so we followed the peace keeper out of the building. On the way we see Peeta, I look at my mother and tell her I am going to see Peeta. I quickly jog over to Peeta.
"I'm sorry that Bannock got chosen in the Reaping," I tell him.
"Its fine he never really liked me, and now he probably hates me even more. I'm sorry about Prim, I know she was your only sibling and she meant so much to you." Peeta says looking down at the ground.
"Thank you Peeta."
We walk all the way to Victor's Village in silence. We walk into Peeta's house, and sit down on his sofa.
"I love you Katniss Everdeen."
"How can you love me you hardly even know me."
"Well then why don't we get to know each other better, then you will know me and I will know you."
"Okay, but how will we do that?"
"We could tell each other the simple things."
"Okay like what?"
"What's your favourite color?"
"Green what's yours?"
"Sunset orange."
"Okay my turn to ask. Why did you join the career back?"
He smiles and says. "It's so I was able to protect you and-"
"You wanted to protect me?"
"Yes and the other reason was so I could lead them away from you. Okay now it's my turn to ask a question…"
We were talking when the T.V. slowly flickered on, it was of all the Reaping's. I recognize some people on there but not many. Finally we watch district 12 reaping. Tears start to roll down my face again but this time Peeta puts his arm around me which comforts me.
