Mica Gallan Farrow's POV

"Yes!" I yelled out loud as I split an arrow down the center with a throwing knife. "I am so going to win, these games."

"Well you've got to get into them first." My older brother, Wave, said from behind me. He was a victor 3 years ago. I whirled around, too late. He flipped me and said. "Come get ready, stop laying around." With a teasing laugh, I smiled and got up. I jogged up to my room. I combed through my medium length, brown hair, and through on my favorite suit. It was blue with little wave patterns.

We all went to the square at 1:00 for the reaping my mother, my father, and my brother all knew I was going to volunteer. My little sister, Mareen, was only 14 and would want to volunteer as well. My parents will explain to her that she can volunteer when she's 16. (the age my brother won at) I'm 17, I was planning on volunteering last year, but I couldn't due to a broken leg.

In the square, my brother goes to take a seat on stage, he isn't our mentor, but still sits on the stage. Our mayor, Luis Caff, come to the podium to say a welcome and introduce our escort, May Freth. "Helloo everyone." She chirped in her heavy capitol accent. "I will pick the girly first." She walked over and plucked a strip out of the reaping ball, she ran back over to the podium. "Fawn Aurora Harrow" she was a thin little 13 year old in a pale green dress. I hoped I wouldn't be stuck with the unfortunate task of killing one so small.

Rory's POV

Me? Had they just called me? I shot a look of horror at Jay; he's my brother and my best friend. He steps out into the isle and pulls me into a big hug on my way to the stage. A few peacekeepers stood and he released me. I finish the long journey to the podium. "Any volunteers?" The crowd is silent, I look at my shoes, "My name is Rory by the way." The world was still spinning out of control, but of course the boy tribute still had to be drawn. May Freth sped over to the boys' reaping ball and fished out a name.

"Heran Garn." He was a small framed boy, I felt a bit sorry for him, but he was 15.

"I volunteer." A boy medium-large boy called out from the 17's. Heran looked back at him like he was Santa Clause. I was a little jealous of him now. The boy came up to the stage, he was about a head taller, and probably about 90 pounds heavier. " I'm Mica Gallan Farro." He said into the mic, he seemed almost indifferent.

"Lets have it for Rory and Mica." The crowd cheered, I locked eyes with Jay, and watched a tear run down his face, he knew I was doomed.

In the justice building my whole family burst through the door at once. Jay, my mother, my father, my sisters; Eden(21), Kosi (19), and Yuni (8), and my other brother Nill(18) all were yelling and hugging me. I hugged everyone as much as I could, I wasn't allowing myself to cry. " Jay pulled me into a tight embrace and just held me, tears running silently down his face. I buried my face in his sweater, my mother silently strokes my black hair.

Mica's POV

Becca Salms, my best friend, runs in and flies into my arms. "Please win, oh, win. You can definitely pick off little Rory." Her eyes were a little wet but she wasn't sobbing.

"You know I'll try my best to come back. Listen if I get involved in a romance there, just know it's all for the camera, I promise." She nods and hands him a bracelet, it looks just like the ocean. "Becca, this must have cost you a fortune."

"I made it. It's filled with my friendship." Tears start to form at the back corners of my eyes. I hug her extra tight. The guard arrives and orders her away.

"Good luck." She sings from behind the guard. I really hope to see her again.

My family files in next, I kiss my mother, hug my sister and father, and I try to hug Wave but he wriggles away and I end up giving him a high five and a hand shake. They all wish me good luck and leave. I examine the bracelet from Becca and realize there is a shell I gave her for her birthday last year. My eyes are washed with tears again.

I hope you liked this chapter please review. I finally have all my tributes. Yay! I can't wait to start the games. I will be posting a list of tributes with their ages.
