SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN FOREVER! MY LAPTOP WAS ACTING ALL WEIRD SO IT'S ALL GOOD NOW!

Anywho, I'll be updating more frequently.

Keep calm and review.

I try to stay calm as I begin my death walk to the stairs that lead up to the stage. I hear people mumbling unhappily. No one likes seeing a twelve-year-old chosen. I walk in stiff baby steps, taking as long as I can to get there. I try to keep my head clear and ignore the stares full of pity. I don't want their pity, I want to not go in the games. To late.

"Prim!" I freeze in my steps.

No, Katniss. Go back in the crowd. Pretend you don't know me. I think silently. If only I were telepathic.

"Prim!" Katniss shouts again. I turn and see her slice through the crowd. Everyone moves out of the way for her.

I walk forward, trying to get to the steps before she does what I think everyone knows she is trying to do. I'm about to climb up the steps when she grabs me from behind and pushes me behind her. "I volunteer!" Katniss says, "I volunteer as tribute!"

Silence. Then there is some problems on the stage. No one that I know of has volunteered in District 12, so we knd of don't know what to do.

"Lovely!" Effie says, "But I believe there's a small matter of introducing the reaping winner and then asking for voluteers, and if one does come forth we, um..." She trails off.

"What does it matter?" The Mayor says, he's looking at Katniss and he looks... sad. "What does it matter?" He says again. "Let her come forward."

I begin to scream as it all comes at me like a train. Katniss is leaving me and she is going into the Hunger Games. I'm going to be forced to watch her die. I grab her around the waste and try to drag her away. My tiny four-foot-six, 73 pound frame is no match against Katniss. She's strong and tries to pry me off."No, Katniss! No! You can't go!" I scream at her.

"Prim, let go!" She tells me harshly. Sorry, sis, ain't gonna happen. Over my dead body your going in the games. I hold on tighter. "Let go!"

Someone lifts me away. Oh no! It's probably a Peacekeeper, they're taking me away and my mother willl be all alone. My poor mother will have me in jail and Katniss in the games! Then I relise it's Gale. I thrash in his arms. "Up you go, Catnip." He says to Katniss.

"Put me down!" I tell him. He pretends he doesn't hear me. He takes me to Mother. As soon as were close to her, I push away from Gale and run into Mom's open arms.

Mom keeps saying things to me like, "It'll be alright." or "Please don't cry." Well, I know nothing is going to be alright and I'm already crying and I can't stop.

I look back at the stage and see Katniss speaking into the microphone and Effie say something in reply. It doesn't matter.

Then, Haymitch comes on stage hollering strange words I can't make out. Then he puts an arm around Katniss. He says something unintelligable and falls head-first off the stage.

Effie looks disgruntled as she quickly pulls a name out of the boy's bowl. She annouces the name, "Peeta Mellark." Katniss eyes widen before going back to looking normal. She knows him. I can tell.

He's the baker's son, I know that. When I go in to trade for cheese, sometimes he's working the counter, He always slips a cookie in the bag along with the bread. I decide that I trust him, but he is going in the arena with Katniss. Katniss has to win and Peeta has to die.

The thought makes me sad.

Katniss and Peeta shake hands and go into the Justice building.

Family and friends are supposed to line up out front to go and talk to them. I grab Mom's hand a drag her up the steps.

I have to see Katniss. The words I will say to her click together in my head.

She has to win.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Please review guys! Seriously, I have one review :(

Bye-bye my giraffes.
