AN: Oh my goodness, I haven't updated in such a long time! I apologize, I really do. I'll try to update much more frequently, ok? Ok. Well, here are the District 7 Train Rides!
D7 Male- Parker Lagly (15)
I can't help but pity this girl. Here she is, standing by me, at only chest level. Granted, I'm remarkably tall and she's rather short, but still! She still has tears running down her face and I can see her parents sobbing in the audience, watching us board the train. I take her hand and she looks up at me with sad, puppy dog eyes. God, how could I kill such an innocent soul? I pray to god that her death will be quick. Unless she wins, then good for her. She sniffles a little bit more and stares at her shoes as we step onto the train. I feel that I should help her in the Games. I just don't know. Defend her, or save myself? I guess I'll find out pretty soon.
D7 Female- Anna Krastle (12):
This is awful! I'm going into the Games and I'm only 12! I can still hear my parents crying, and I'm so sad! Then, I feel someone grab my hand. I look up to find my district partner, Parker, holding it reassuringly. I know that he's nice, but isn't everyone supposed to be an enemy? I look down at my shoes and sniffle some more. He and I get onto the train and I look around. This place is so pretty! There are bright paintings on the walls and beautiful couches, too! Parker looks down at me and says "Why don't we go watch the other Reapings. We'll scope out the competition and make a plan, ok?" He smiles at me. I nod and start to wonder. Why is he being so nice? Doesn't he know that we're riding a train to our death?

Anna and I board the train and I gather in my surroundings. This place is gorgeous! There are so many colors and good smells. It's amazing! I look down at Anna and ask her if she wants to watch the Reapings and she nods her head. I figure it's better to see who we're going up against sooner than later. We go and sit on a couch and look at the T.V. We're soon joined by Velma, the escort, and our mentor, Joe. He looks sympathetic enough, but looks can be deceiving. Velma says, "Well isn't this fabulous? Already bonding!" I shoot her a dirty look and she glances away, then turns on the television. We're greeted by an outrageous Capitol Commercial about dying your pets, but it's soon over and the Reapings are shown. From my first impressions, I think I should try to ally with the District 6 male and the pair from 8, maybe the girl from 5. She looks smart. The pair from 10 looks threatening and the girl from 12 got the short end of the stick. I don't think that there has ever been a pregnant tribute before! The pairs from 3 and 11 look like they'll be killed relatively quickly, along with the boy from 5 and the girl from 6. Well, my chances don't look too bad! There's a Career who didn't even volunteer! Maybe she's not all that great! Then again, maybe she's so good no one wanted to take her place… I'll have to see when I get to training. Maybe, just maybe, I won't die!
D7 Female- Anna Krastle (12):
After Velma turned on the T.V., I directed my attention to the screen. The Reapings have just begun, and I'm not thrilled. The pair from 1 look like they could kill me in an instant, along with the boys from 2 and 4. The girls from 2 and 4 don't seem all that bad though. The girls from 3 and 11 and the boys from 5 and 11 are all near my age. Maybe we could make an alliance! I want to stay away from the District 10 pair, though. They're brother and sister and look positively evil! I hope that they won't come after me. Then again, maybe my future alliance could protect me! If I get one that is…
AN: There you go! How did you like it? I'll try to update much more often so you don't have to wait so long again. Please review, it makes me excited, inspired, and helps me write faster! Thanks for reading! ~Parkman977
