Ok I never found out about Espen so I'm making him 15.

Autumn "Lyla" Alby's POV

I poured the Dira Sulfaz into the Broba Seria and I was trying to make it react when my mother, started down the hall I slid my experiment under the bed just as my mother entered. I had lifted the chemicals from the school lab, but I was going to return them as soon as I was done. "What are you doing in here, Lyla?"

"Getting ready for the reaping, it's today you know." She let out a small chuckle.

"Yeah, honey, I know." I got up and removed the ripped jeans I was wearing and put on a pleated, khaki skirt. "Hurry up, we leave at 2." Our Reaping was at 3. I put on a white, button-up shirt and combed through my hair. I was about to leave when I put on a bracelet my friend, Axel, from district 3 made me for my 16th birthday. I met Axel on trips with my brother, Selkirk. Selkirk was 21 and had a job transporting chemicals. I went on trips with him from time to time. The bracelet was made of wire and was interwoven with bright colors. I peered in on my chemicals one last time with still no results and went to the kitchen. I grabbed an apple but was too nervous to eat it. I had 7 names in the reaping I had to take out one tessera at 13 because my family had a bad year. Selkirk came down in a blue dress shirt,

"Good luck, little sis." You could tell he was praying I wasn't chosen. Selkirk had been chosen when he was 15 but a boy volunteered for him. I think that brief moment of terror, has made him fear for my life. He was already protective, but on Reaping Day it's even more. I only have two more Reapings ahead of me, but even one is way too much.

"Come on Lyla. Selkirk, will you be attending?"

"Of course, don't I always?" my mother nods and my father joins us as we leave.

We walk silently to the square, I try to crack a few jokes but absolutely nothing can relax tension on Reaping day. When we reach the square, Selkirk turns, says, "Good luck." And my parents follow him to a spot in the crowd. I stand in a clump of 17s and wait. The mentor, Julius Vial, takes the stage.

"Welcome, welcome everyone. Here is the District 6 escort; Marylyn Nothul!" The crowd clapped half-heartedly, and Marylyn took the floor.

"Good afternoon!" This woman was too happy, she just wanted a better district, I was sure. "Now to reap our girl tribute!" she danced over to the reaping ball and snagged a slip of paper, "Our girl tribute from district 6 is, . . . Melody Hemlock!" I let out a sigh of relief until I realized who Melody was. She was a small girl, only turned 12 last week, she had been in an accident that had blinded her right eye and maimed her left side. She stumbled up to stage. "

"I volunteer!" I yelled. Every camera was on my face; I held my head high and walked to the stage. I knew I probably wouldn't return, but it was a given fact Melody utterly wouldn't have. I looked her in the eyes, her left eye was filled with tears, she gave me the best smile she could and limped back to the crowd.

"How exciting! Now for the boy tribute… Espen Seffron!" He was a slender boy with bleach blonde hair and chocolate eyes. He was 15, short, and strongly built. "Let's have it for our tributes!"

We were led into the Justice Building where we would be saying goodbye to our family and friends. I was in a room with a dull theme, I sat on the brown love-seat and waited. My mother and Selkirk both tried to come through the door at the same time. My father was close behind. "I'm so proud of you Lyla!" My brother bursted out and I flew into his arms.

"You made the right decision Lyla. I'm proud of you." My father said in a smooth and connected voice.

"I want you to try your best and trust no one, absolutely no one." My mother looked me in the eye and burned those words into my mind.

"You need to be ruthless, Lyla. I no that will bother you, but you have to. I want to keep my sister." Selkirk was telling me to kill brutally, my parents were telling me to trust no one. I hoped I could be strong enough to do both.

"Remember everything I have taught you, and you will come home." My father seemed confident, but chemicals don't compare to knives. My father is scientist; he doesn't like using the capitols mutated substances and like to used chemicals from nature. Then my family had to go and my friend, Ainsley, came in to say good bye. She reminds me of all the great times we had and drilled into my skull how much he hates what the Capitol is doing.

"You've always been my best friend." We hug and she leaves.

My friend, Logan, comes in last. We met when we were both assigned a project in school. I got a terrible chemical burn and he helped me wrap my hands. "I need you, we all do. Please come back Autumn." He gives me a tight hug, I feels myself rising to the occasion. If only I could come home to spend one more day with my friends and family.
