Ok so I decided to not sleep for another hour and instead post yet another chapter! :D I hope you guys like it and review! Here are the District 5 Reapings!
D5 Male- Barry Vanderbelt (12):
My mommy wakes me up with my 1 year old brother on her hip. She has purple circles under her eyes, just like every morning since daddy left to heaven. She tells me that I need to put on my nice clothes for the Reaping, and I get scared. It's my first Reaping, so there isn't much chance of me getting picked, but I'm still nervous. I walk to the square with my older brother Justin. He's 15, and he took out a bunch of tesserae so we can eat. He says he won't get reaped though. The Hunger Games is too scary for him to go anyways. I see my best friend Aubrey and wave to her. We decide to stand together and stare at the crazy looking Capitol man named Bretthen. He has pink skin. He decides to start with the boys this year. He reaches into the bowl and pulls out the name...
D5 Female- Elektra Sard (14):
I wake up with a sad smile on my face. Today is the 3rd anniversary since my sister Socket got reaped for the games and died by the hands of the future winner, the District 3 boy. I forgive him though, because it was a mercy kill. She had been poisoned by a walrus muttation that bit her in their polar ice cap arena. I smile though because she told me that no matter what happened, I should have a sunny disposition on life. And while I try to be a sunny person, I can't help that I'm also a tad sarcastic. So when my mom walks into my room and says that the Reaping is today, I say "Really? I never would've guessed!" I couldn't help it. Luckily, my mom has a good sense of humor and just chuckles at me calling me an idiot. I get dressed and walk to the square where the Reaping is. I glance over to the trembling 12 year olds and feel sorry for them. I send a silent prayer to the Flying Spaghetti Monster up above and ask for none of them to get picked. My wish isn't granted though when the walking Pepto-Bismal of an attendant picks the name out of the bowl.
"Barry Vanderbelt!" He says. I watch as a crying 12 year old walks towards the stage. No one volunteers. Poor kid. Oh well. I direct my attention to the pink monstrosity on stage and hear him say the name of the girl tribute.
"Elektra Sard!" Oh no.
D5 Male- Barry Vanderbelt (12):
As I hear my name get called, I start to cry and look to my brother. He just gives me an extremely sad look and mouths "I'm sorry" I know he won't volunteer. He's going to let me die instead. I always thought he was a great older brother, and he used to tell me that he would take a bullet for me, but I guess taking the Hunger Games for me is too big of a burden. He knows though that if he went and died, no one could support our family any more. I know I will forgive him. Not that it matters, because I have less than a month to live anyways.
D5 Female- Elektra Sard (14):
Crap. It's gonna be hard to keep a sunny disposition about this. I've just been sentenced to the same fate as my sister. Except unlike my sister, I am going to get out of that arena. I'm all that my mom has left. My dad committed suicide after my sister died. I guess he couldn't get her screams of pain from the poison to stop plaguing him. I know that I have a chance. I forage for food sometimes when my mother and I are running low. And while if it comes down to me and Barry, I will feel awful about killing a 12 year old, but I will do it. I will do anything to get home to my mother.
AN: And there you have it! I really like Elektra, so expect her to have longer point of views :) Tell me who your favorite character is so far! I would love to hear who it is! Please review! Virtual Hugs to all of you! -
