The next time I open my eyes, I see that I've been moved into my own room and still curled up in Ethan's arms. "Morning sleeping beauty." Ethan whispers as he notices I'm awake. "Morning. Ethan what are you doing in my room?" I ask sleepily. "I brought you to bed last night when you fell asleep on me and you wouldn't let me go when I tried to leave, so I stayed and watched you sleep." He explains softly as he strokes my hair. "Oh sorry." I sigh embarrassed as I can't remember it. "nothing to say sorry for." He smiles. "Did you say you watched me sleep?" I ask confused and sleepy. "Erm yeah I did, I couldn't sleep and you were so peaceful and cute." He explains softly, blushing. "Oh ok. What time is it?" I ask. "It's about ten." He explains softly. "Oh, I only have two hours left." I frown sadly. "Well let's make the most of it." He smiles. "Get dressed and meet me down stairs when you're ready." He smiles as I sit up. "Ok." I smile as he stands up and walks out of my room. I stand up slowly then cross to my bathroom where I get washed and change my clothes into my usual navy blue t-shirt, black knee length skirt, brown boots and a brown leather jacket. Then I look down at my new necklace to see that the pendant is a locket and I slowly open it to see a photograph of my parents and I before they died. I smile as I close the locket back up and I grab my bag that I sorted out to take to the Capitol with me and I walk down stairs. I walk into the kitchen to see that Ethan has prepared breakfast for us both. "Ethan you didn't have to make breakfast." I smile as I sit down in front of a bowl of porridge. "I wanted to. Tuck in. What do you want to do with your last few hours here before you go to the capitol?" He asks happily. "Can we just stay here? Hang out." I ask happily as I start eating my porridge. "Sure." He smiles happily. We both eat our porridge and then we hang out until I have to leave. At 11:45 I turn to Ethan and look at him. "Ethan I should get going. Are you going to be ok for a few weeks?" I explain softly. "Yeah sure, It will be fine." He smiles. "Ok, Wear something smart this afternoon."I sigh as I slowly stand up. " I will do, Have fun in the capitol, you will be back here in no time." He smiles walking me to the front door. I grab my bag as I walk past. "I hope soon, I'll miss you." I sigh as I turn round at the door. "I know I'll miss you too, bye Amber." He smiles as he pulls me into a big hug. "Bye Ethan see you soon." I sigh as we let go of each other.
I then make my way to the justice building, as I walk through the town I see last minutes decorations being put up. I get to the justice building just on 12 and I'm rushed in so Aurora can set to work on my makeup and getting me into my outfit. "Aurora, can I please wear this?" I ask taking my new necklace in my hand. "Yes! that's just what I was looking for, it will complete your outfit. Where did you get it?"She beams happily. "Ethan gave me it last night, So I have part of him with me in the capitol." I explain blushing slightly. "Aww that's so cute."She smiles. "Time for the Dress." She sings skipping out of the room. She comes back in carrying my dress. She helps me into my dress and my sandals. When she is done she turns me around so I can look in a mirror, And I see my hair is flowing down my back elegantly, my makeup is soft and my dress the most beautiful part of my outfit, it's a simple white cotton dress with small sleeves hanging around my arm, with a sunset coloured corset across my chest. "oh one more thing." Aurora smiles as she skips over to a small wooden box. she opens it and picks up my Victors crown and slowly walks over to me and softly places on my head. "Thank you Aurora I look amazing." I smile as I step forward to hug her. "Oh your welcome! You gave me beautiful materials to work with." She smiles hugging me tightly. "I best get going, got a lot to do back in the capitol." She smiles as we walk towards the door. "Ok, I'll see you soon." I smile as we walk down stairs to meet the mayor and Leo. "There's our little autumn flower." the mayor smiles as we walk down the stairs. "Hello Mayor, Leo."I smile as Aurora and I walk over to them. Aurora and Leo say goodbye to each other and then the reaping starts.
Every person aged 12-18 from district 11 will have gathered in the courtyard outside the justice building. At Exactly 1 o'clock the Mayor, Leo and I walk out of the Justice Building on to a small stage at the top of the steps. Leo and I walk over to a table and take two of the three seats, and the mayor walks to a microphone in the middle of the stage and addresses the crowd. The mayor talks about the history of the hunger games, and the dark days. As he talks my eyes search the crowd for Ethan, finally I locate his face staring up at me, nervously. I never thought about his name being in the bowl 16 times, I give him a soft smile, as the Mayor starts to talk about me, being the latest and one and only surviving Victor and now he introduces Leo to start the reaping. Leo grandly stands up and walks over to the Microphone." Happy Hunger Games! May the Odds be ever in your favour! So nice to be back in District 11!"He smiles at the crowd. "Now time for the reaping! Ladies first!"He chirps as he walks over to a white podium with large glass bowl on top filled with names. Leo slowly places his hand into the bowl and pulls out a small piece of paper. He walks back over to the microphone and reads the name off the piece of paper. "Lucy Brown." Leo says boldly in the microphone. A Tall black haired girl wearing a cream dress walks up to the stage. I vaguely know Lucy she is two years older than me and she is the butchers eldest daughter, Her family are lovely but she is a very sour miserable girl. When she reaches Leo they shake hands and applause rings out. "Now time for our male Tribute." He says and makes his way over to the other podium and picks out a name. I hear Leo take a short intake of breath just before for he reads out the name. "Ethan Williams."He calls his voice breaking slightly.
