This is it! Finally, the last Reaping chapter! Now I just have to get through the train rides, and chariot rides, and training, and interviews, and then we get to the games! I think when I do those, I will do a couple of districts to each chapter, just to make them shorter and easier to write. Now here are the last Reapings! District 12! Please review! :)
D12 Male- Eli Broxton(17):
I am running with my dogs in the backyard when I hear my mom call my name. I stop what I'm doing and rush inside. It's best not to keep her waiting. When she has to wait, she gets angry. And you won't like her when she's angry. She tells me that it's time for me to get ready for the Reaping and I hurry to put on my clothes. She tells me that I have to take my 15 and 13 year old brothers, Sean and Tyler, too. I tell them to hurry up and get ready. They oblige and are out the door in minutes. As we walk to the Reaping, I notice that Tim is scared. I tell him to stop being a baby and toughen up. He just sniffles and looks away. I don't get along particularly well with my brothers, and try to avoid them as much as possible. Sometimes, though, I can't, and that's when I pick on them. They avoid me as well, so it usually works out alright. We get to the square and are greeted by the Capitol escort's shrill voice. His name is Julius but I just call him the pain-in-everyone's-ass. He quiets everyone down and approaches the male bowl.
"Eli Broxton!"
D12 Female- Casey Fanten (16):
"Do you feel the baby kicking?" I ask my boyfriend.
"Yeah! He's gonna be a strong kid!" Doug says back. I'm 16 and pregnant, but it wasn't an accident. My boyfriend and I love each other very much, and just couldn't wait to bring a miracle into this world. Doug smiles at me and says "we need to get ready for the Reaping". I agree and put on a loose dress as to give my stomach room. I am 6 months pregnant and couldn't be happier! Doug and I live in our own house; my parents passed away awhile ago but the district let me keep the hut. I walk to the Reaping with one hand in Doug's and the other on my stomach.
"Someone's feeling energetic today!" I chuckle. This baby won't stop kicking! Doug and I laugh and get to the square. Julius, the escort, quiets us all down and pulls a name out of the male tribute's bowl. Please not Doug, please not Doug...
"Eli Broxton!" screeches Julius. Thank god. Now I just hope that I won't get picked either. I can't imagine what I would do if I had to go into the arena pregnant. I would protect this little life as well as I could. Hopefully, though, it won't come to that. Julius picks a name out of the female's bowl.
"Casey Fanten!"
D12 Male- Eli Broxton(17):
As I hear my name get called, I have a sliver of hope that one of my brothers will be stupid enough to volunteer. No such luck though, and I'm left to go into the arena. This sucks! I hear Julius announce my partner's name.
"Casey Fanten!" he shrieks. The pregnant girl? Why her, of all people? Even the Capitol won't like this! If I don't win, I hope she does, just so that way she can get that baby out alive. It's going to be a real hinder to her when she gets to the arena. I wish for her to have a safe Games, even if I don't come out alive.
D12 Female- Casey Fanten (16):
I almost faint from shock when I hear my name get called. I'm pregnant! I have a child I have to protect as well as myself now! How on Earth am I supposed to run away from the Bloodbath with this watermelon sized thing in my stomach? I guess that this baby just wasn't supposed to be born, and if it takes me dying for the Universe to get its point across, well I guess that I'm going to die. I'm going to miss Doug so much in the arena and in death. I just hope that he'll be able to move on after this.
AN: And the Reapings are done! Hallelujah! Those were hopefully the most boring thing to write and read, so the forthcoming chapters should be more interesting and be updated even faster! Thanks for reading! Please review! :)
