Quicker than you can blink my mom darted over to the couch where Ana was sitting. My dad quickly followed her, and I slowly followed him.

I wasn't too worried about what Ana was screaming about since she tends to over react, a lot. I went over to the couch and sat down in between my mother and my father. I looked over at Ana and her turquoise eyes looked fearful as she frantically pointed at the T.V.

"Look! It's President Carter! He's talking about the Hunger Games!" Ana managed to say.

That sparked my interest. I leaned in towards the T.V. not wanting to miss a single word he said.

"Hello all of Panem, as you know I am bringing back the fun duel to the death also known as the Hunger Games!" he proudly announced. The crowd of Capitol citizens applauded him loudly.

I looked over at my mom. She looked like she was deep in thought.

I turned back to the T.V. just as President Carter continued his speech. "Well, as I said earlier, this Hunger Games is going to have a surprising twist to it. This time each tribute is going to take a test before they go into the arena. This will determine which animal they will get matched with! Then they will be sent into the arena not knowing which animal they are matched with. The animals they're matched with will be sent in also. More information about this will be told to the Tributes in the arena. The Reapings will be held tomorrow! Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor!"

Then the Capitol anthem played as President Carters face faded away into black. I sat there shocked. What were they planning? Probably something gory or maybe the animal most like you was going to follow you and try to kill you. You never know with the Capitol.

"Reaping day's tomorrow…" my mother mumbled numbly as she stood up. "Peeta, get me my jacket I'm going out to hunt…"

"Be back before dinner, I guess Ebony will stay here with me and help me cook." my dad said calmly starting to stand up.

I followed their lead and stood up also leaving Ana alone on the couch.

"Bye mom," I say as I walk over to hug her.

She kisses my forehead and quickly leaves the house.

"Peeta, what's for dinner anyway?" Ana says normally as if the live broadcast didn't just happen.

"Whatever Ebony and Katniss caught with a side of cheese bread." Dad replied as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Sounds great," Ana shrugs and she walks over to the stairs.

"Ebony do you mind bringing Ana's stuff up to her room?" my dad calls from the kitchen.

"Sure, which room?" I reply through closed teeth.

"The one in between yours and your brothers," he yells.

"No need to yell Dad, I can hear you fine." I reply.

I walk over to where Ana put her multiple bags and grabbed as many as I could then I started up the stairs. I kept dropping bags causing Ana to squeal at me about how there were valuable possessions in them. I had to use all my mental strength to not yell at her to get off her butt and help me. Eventually I made it up to the room. Carefully I set down her bags and opened the door.

I walked in and looked around. The room was a pale yellowish color. It had one window, on the opposite wall from the door, which was covered by pale blue curtains. On the wall to the right of the window there was a small bed. On the wall to the left of the window there was a medium sized closet. I walked over to the window and pulled back the curtains. I was able to see the forest which I hunted in. As I was admiring the view I heard someone enter the room.

"Hey Ebby,"

"Hello Ana,"

"Cute little room you have here. Only one problem, it's too…" she pauses as if fishing for the right word.

"Bland? Normal?" I offer.

"Yes," she nods.

"Well I'll leave you here to unpack," I say heading out of the room.

"Sure, have fun with your father."

When I got downstairs with my dad I saw he was kneading the dough for cheese buns. His hands were working fast, and his face looked stern and focused.

"Need any help with that?" I ask.

He stops and looks up and smiles. "Haha no thanks, I thought you might want to spend some time with your mom. You should look for her, she's hunting."

"I love you dad," I say as I head over to the door. Right before I can open it, it opens. My mother walks in followed by a boy. It was Shane.

Wow, I've been writing A LOT this weekend! :]

Hope you enjoy it!
