I felt so touched by the number of views I've gotten that I decided to do another update tonight! You guys make me so happy! Please review! :D Presenting the District 4 tributes!
D4 Male- Henry Ares (15):
Everyone lives in fear of me. Everyone. Most likely because I murdered my parents when I was 10. Now I live in a prison that only lets me out to go to the reapings every year. This year I'm going to volunteer, win, and come back to live in the Victor's Village in freedom. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to volunteer, but they aren't going to turn a tribute down. I walk to the square where the reapings will be held in my prison garbs and am stared at in fear by the passing people. Today is the day I earn my freedom.
D4 Female- Sarah Thatcher (18):
The district is not fond of me. I haven't killed anyone, not like that Henry kid, but the district still doesn't like me. Or my girlfriend, Juniper. In fact, us dating is the reason that the district doesn't like us. I guess that even nowadays, only the capitol doesn't frown upon gay people. Them and District 8. Why they don't, I'm not sure, but I hope Juniper and I can move there someday. Anyways, she and I live together because at 18 we are legally adults. Which is good, because then we can be away from our families prying eyes. We both wake up and get ready for the reaping together, walking hand in hand to the square together, ignoring the dirty looks we get from other people. As we stand together in the square, we are joined by one of our only friends Helga. She likes us cause we break the status quo, just like her with her bright red hair and piercings. We all turn our attention to our escort, Yvette. I heard she is twins with the escort Yvone from 3. She is wearing a green suit that looks like puke. She calls out that she will be doing gentlemen first, calling out the name "Jeremy Geve" only to have him be volunteered by a prisoner boy, who I faintly recognize, remembering that he killed his parents. Yvonne goes to the girl's bowl and calls out one name that I couldn't bare to hear.
"Juniper Patell!"
"NOOOO! I VOLUNTEER!" I shout.
"SARAH!" Juniper shrieks. And that's the last thing I hear before I am carried off to the stage by the Peacekeepers.
D4 Male- Henry Ares (15):
Wow. I think to myself. What a spectacle! Those girls must really care for each other! Not that it matters for either of them, because I'm going to kill the girl when it comes down to it. They shouldn't have gotten themselves into this...
D4 Female- Sarah Thatcher (18):
I can't believe that I just volunteered! Yet I know that it's what I have to do. I couldn't see Juniper die. I would never be able to live with myself. I would've just killed myself so I could have still been with her. Still, I hate to hear her screams, which are all that I hear right now. That and her sobs. I hate to be inflicting this pain on her, but I hope she'll forgive me. I just hope that she knows it's for the best for both of us. I have a better chance to win then she does. I couldn't let the one person I love more than anything else die. So now, I will suffer the consequences and be carried to the capitol, only to be paraded around like a dog. But better me than her.
AN: I hope you guys liked this chapter! It was so much fun to write! Please review! It would mean a whole lot to me! :) Parkman977
