District 2 Reapings
Gemini Frost
Clyde ran his small fat fingers through my silky blonde hair, he was helping me get ready for the Reaping. Clyde was lucky he's only 9 so he isn't in the Reaping bowls and Father isn't pressuring him to volunteer. As his finger caught on a knot of hair I yelped out in pain.
"Clyde you idiot!" I said standing up and turning round at him, fists clenched.
"Sorry!" Clyde stepping away from me.
"Get out!" I screamed pointing at the door. He ran as fast as his chubby legs could carry him.
"God, how I hate my Brother!" I said to myself, slamming the door!

I chewed at the bread I had just stolen from one of the younger Orphans. I looked around the empty table I sat at in the canteen.
All the other Orphans looked at me terrified. I smirked, that is the way it is in District 2's Orphanage. Everyone is scared of me.
I ended up in the Orphanage because my parents died of a terrible disease the Capitol infected them with for trying to start a rebellion!
I lived with my Aunt and Uncle for a few years, in that time they taught me how to throw spears, throw knifes, use a bow and arrow and most importantly how to use an axe, my favourite weapon.
But last Christmas they both died of 'food poisoning'. But I think the Capitol killed them to mentally damage me further...
The bell rang signalling breakfast was sadly over and we had to prepare for the Reaping.
The little kids moved out the way as I rushed past them up the stairs to my room.

My Mother died when Clyde was born, so I personally blame hi for her death. I have tried to treat him nicer since I got out the mental hospital. Clyde almost died last year when I pushed him and he fell off the cliff. I knew if he died it would be my fault so I stayed in hospital to get over depression.
I stood in front of the mirror. My golden honey eyes stared back at me in my reflection. I played around with my blonde hair, I usually keep it in braids but I decided to wear it down for the Reaping.
I pulled on my favourite dress, a beautiful silver knee length dress with gold stitching and a golden belt, Father said the belt matches my eyes. I pulled on some high heels and pulled my dress up so the skirt was a lot higher than it needed to be. That's when Father walked in.
"What are you wearing?" he asked furiously.
"Your legs arn't a public door! So pull that skirt down right now!" he said slapping me across the face. I gasped, backing away.
"Now you must be first to the stage when you volunteer!" he said.
"What if I don't want to volunteer?" I asked. Father slapped me in the same place but a lot harder.
"I don't care if you don't want to you're volunteering!" he said slamming my bedroom door as he left.
I burst into tears.
Alagos Livingston
I fastened the last button on my blue shirt. I looked in the mirror at my giant reflection. I am 6ft and have a scar running from my eyebrow to my chin, no wonder the little ones are scared of me.
I tried by best to design my short brown hair but it just looked scruffy so I just left it the way it was.
Mother Madge called us to come downstairs so she could inspect us.
I pushed to the front of the inspecting line.
"Oh Alagos, you could do with tidying your hair!" she said mauling my head with her fat ugly hands.
"Get off me!" I said rushing outside towards the town square, where a crowd of people had formed.

I sneaked out my bedroom window so I wouldn't have to pass my Father.
As I left the house the group of Orphanage boys walked past me. One boy, I think he was called Alagos ran past me, he was huge if I was up against him he could kill me in seconds.
I listened to the rhythmic clicking of my shoes as I walked to the town square, my shoes sounded like a clock. Tick tock, click clock.
It was then I fell into him. Alagos.
I prepared to be shouted at from the toughest boy from District 2. He looked around suspiciously then held out a hand to help me up.
"You okay?" he asked seeing my red eyes.
"Home stuff." I said.
"I'm Alagos by the way, I'm volunteering, what about you ?" he asked, his beautiful green eyes locked with mine.
"Gemini, volunteering!" I replied.
"If we both get into the Hunger Games, wanna team up?" he asked nicely.
"Yeah, sure!" I said as we reached the square.
Alagos Livingston
"Bye!" I said to Gemini as she headed to the 16 year old female section, I headed to the males.
Gemini is probably the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Her hair, her eyes. Everything. I stared at her as she stood alone. Then I saw the girls behind her.
"Aw the baby is crying!" one of the said laughing!
Without thinking I charged over and shoved both girls over.
"See you later Gemini!" I said, she replied with a Thank You!
I ran back to the crowd as Elzi Puffpuff walked onto the stage.
Elzi's eyelashes were as long as my nose. Her dress was like an explosion in a paint factory, and her hair was s big I wouldn't be surprised if there was a birds nest in there!
"Gentleman first!" she shouted walking to the boys bowl.
She walked back to the microphone with a handful of slips.
"Eenie- Meenie- Minnie- Mo!" she said chucking all the slips in the crowd except one. I prepared to volunteer.
"Groundston Slyth!" she said.
"I VOUNTEER!" I screamed running to the stage.
"And you are?" Elzi asked.
"Alagos Livingston!" I said looking in the crowds for Gemini. I saw her smiling at me.
"Go for it I mouthed at her" I mouthed at her.
"Now ladies!" Elzi said collecting a handful of names.
"Alagos would you do us the honer of picking a slip?" she asked.
I picked one and she threw the rest in the crowd.
"Eleanor Giv-" Elzi said when...
"I VOLUNTEER!" Gemini shouted running to the stage.
"District 2's tributes for the 38th Annual Hunger Games!" Elzi said holding our hands up! Everyone cheered as we walked into the Justice building...
