Merritt Redding's POV

We road in a relatively old model car, little Hush sat beside me. We road to the train station, she had tears in her eyes. I didn't know if she was playing up weakness or actually crying. The car pulled up to a tattered red carpet, and the door was opened. Hush slid out, she smiled at the reporters as she walked to the train. I climbed out of the car, locked my eyes on the ground and walked quickly to the train.

After the door was closed, we were greeted by Pupper Jelshin. She was a tall, thin woman with violet hair and tattoos on her neck. "Welcome. Sorry for my tardiness, I rode a hover craft from District 2. Hush nodded. "Now what's your name, honey?" She looked down uncomfortably.

"My name is Merritt. I am pleased to meet you." I looked into her pink eyes, hoping she would leave Hush alone.

"I'm pleasured, now what about you, blossom?"

"Her name is Hush."

"Couldn't she have told me that?" Hush shook her head. "You're going to come out of your shell if you want sponsors." Hush looked around anxiously, she did want sponsors.

"She can't. She can't talk." Pupper looked shocked beyond belief. Just then our mentor, Masie Jels, walked in.

"Hush! Merritt! Good to see you. The Avoxes will show you to your room.

My room seemed to be themed around metal; I guess the capitol thought it would make us feel at home. I went into the bathroom and spent an hour finguring out how the hair drying panel worked until I was called for dinner. "Merritt time for dinner!"

The dining room was one of the most extravagant spectacles yet, it had multiple diamond chandeliers and a golden table. I was busy admiring the décor when a small group of Avoxes brought in dinner. I'm not sure, but I think my mouth fell open. There was so much food! I became angr; the capitol ate themselves sick and let the districts starve. Hush was filling her plate with food, I began piling my plate with things that looked good(which was almost everything) and dug into it. All the different flavors were amazing, chocolate, wheat, fruit, sugar, and everything I could think of. I ate until I was more than full.

"I must go, I need my beauty sleep." Pupper said, she got up left the car.

"Shall we watch the reapings?" Masie asked looking between the two of us. We both nodded our heads as we went into a small lounge with a huge TV set. Masie picked up what I assumed was the remote, and flicked the TV on. My eyes probably bulged out of my head, the graphics were amazing! I went around to the other side of the TV only to find it implanted in the wall. "I know they're cool but, you haven't seen anything yet." It was as if Masie could read my mind. I sat in a plush chair that made my uncomfortable.

The reapings began both tributes volunteered from 1 and 2, they showed Hush and me, a district 6 girl came forward, 2 12year olds from 7, and the girl tried to run. I was surprised at the amount of volunteers usually there is only one or two. "Goodnight, we will be arriving tomorrow, midday. I went to my room and changed into blue pajamas, I climbed into bed…

I hope you guys liked this sorry I haven't been able to update. I will put up a poll for the other districts I'm writing.
