District 1 Zeker Kloesel's POV
I wake up, eat breakfast and then I get dressed for the reapings today. I put on a black suit, shirt and tie, I'm totally done up in black today. Today I volunteer for the Memorial Games. Though I wish it was the Hunger Games like I was trained in all of these years. Oh well, I guess that's the price you have to pay for a successful rebellion. I walk out the door to the town square, with my friends of course. I look back and see Elena Goldsack walking behind us with her friends. Elena may be cute but she's not my type, at least I don't care if she is or not.
We finally make it to town square, where the mayor was reading the history of Panem, starting with it's formation, the dark days, the hunger games, and finally the second rebellion, and today's event. The reapings for the Memorial Games, a hunger games like event without all of the unnecessary killing. I was a bit surprised as with everyone else when someone from District 12 was the representative for our district.
"Alright let's get this show on the road!" Haymitch said. "Ladies first as Effie Trinket would say."
I watched as Haymitch pull a name out of the girls ball and walked back to the podium to read it.
"Emmagarde Stewart!" he announced. I looked over as Emma stood up with her signature smile of confidence, and started walking towards the stage, however...
"I volunteer!" Elena's hand goes up into the air, when Emma is only halfway to the stage. Then Elena stands up and walks towards the stage, past and angry Emma.
"That was my name being called! I want to represent District 1!" Emma shouted.
"Maybe next year princess..." Elena said as he confidently strolled onto the stage. Emma just merely stomped her foot down and left town square in a huff. The peacekeepers didn't even stop her. I guess we don't have to stay for the whole thing or we don't have to stay if our name is already called, and someone volunteers in our place. Haymitch welcomes Elena and shakes her hand, though she did gag at the smell of him. He probably reeked of booze, urine, vomit and failure. And I can't blame him, as porbably every Hunger Games victor smells the same as him. You win, you get fame and fortune, but you throw it all away for alcohol and a life of failure. Now I can see why the Memorial Games were made non lethal. They don't want the victors to go through the same thing as Haymitch. Can't say I blame them either.
Then it was time for the boys. Haymitch pulled a name from the boy's ball, and I seriously hoped it was me. I wouldn't have to volunteer otherwise.
"Leif Daniels!" It wasn't me, it was Emma's friend. As he stood up to walk to the stage. I got up and pushed him down to the ground. "I volunteer!"
"You didn't have to push me!" Leif said getting up and dusting himself off.
"I'm sorry but I really wanted in on this..." I hold out my hand to shake with Leif's
"No big deal..." he said shaking my hand. "I'll volunteer next year if I'm not picked again."
I nod and take the stage. Then Haymitch reads the new Treaty of Peace, and I shake Elena's hand. Her skin is so soft and smooth. She doesn't know that I will carry our team on to victory, if we're even on the same team.
District 1: Elena Goldsack's POV
I wake up extra early for breakfast. Today is the reapings to the new Memorial Games. I do find it hard to believe that these new games will be non lethal, but held in the old Hunger Games arena that was blown to Hell last year in the Quarter Quell. Though I do have to give the new president credit where it's due. She did something that not even President Snow would even do. And that is not to send innocent children into an arena to kill each other for entertainment. I guess it's only natural for these games to take place a year after the successful rebellion. So future generations can learn from history's mistakes and know how to keep the future bright and free of darkness.
But I don't care about that for right now... I want to be reaped so I can go into that arena and bring my team, whoever it is, to victory. I just love the spirit of competition. I also like to win the most but to be competitive is even better. It feels great and exhilerating... I can't get enough, as it's my drug of choice.
I have the maid bring in the outfit I'm to wear to the reapings. It is a short and simple aqua dress. That is tight in my chest area, but flows out nicely and ends at the knees. I then put on matching heel shoes and go downstairs for my breakfast. Which is my favorite, poached eggs and steak, the breakfast of champions.
Once I've eaten... I get up and leave for the reapings. I walk with my friends and behind Zeker, the most notorious womanizer in District 1. I've flirted with him a couple of times, but he always had his eye on another beautiful woman. It makes me jealous, seeing him flirt with other women. I want him to be mine, all mine! But he probably doesn't want anything to do with me. I guess I can't blame him. He is a arrogant ass. Always full of his overconfident ego and narcisstic traits. I'm just a athletic competitive girl, I've never been in a relationship before either. We all find our respective sections, and sit with the other teens. I smile as the mayor reads the traditional, but new stuff, then he asks Haymitch Abernathy to step up and read the names for the tributes. Haymitch goes for the girls first, quoting the District 12 representative. He pulls a name our of the ball and I get nervous, I get sweaty, I get excited, I so desperately want to be reaped.
"Emmagarde Stewart!" he announces, and I'm beyond belief, how did that little rich bitch get picked instead of me! This is my chance to shine in the spotlight, not hers! I throw my hand up into the air, as if I'm going to answer a question in school.
"I volunteer!" Then I get up and walk to the stage, stopping by a really pissed off Emma.
"That was my name being called! I want to represent District 1!" Emma shouted.
"Maybe next year princess..." I say with a smile, as I continue my walk to the stage. Poor Emma merely stomps her foot and leaves town square in a huff. But I just continue on walking. It's my time to stand in the spotlight. Haymitch shakes my hand and I gag when I smell him. He smells like a brewery and a frat party at the same time. I can't blame him though, he is a victor in the dreadful Hunger Games, and I've heard a lot about the victors becoming alcoholics, after they win, to help ease their mental suffering.
Now it was time for the boys. Haymitch pulled a name and read it aloud.
"Leif Daniels!"
Well this is interesting... Emma's little man friend is my partner.
"I volunteer!" Now THIS is interesting, the man of my dreams is volunteering to take Leif's place. I know we'll definitely win with this combination. Leif and Zeker shake hands after a quick conversation and joins me on stage. After the Treaty of Peace, a new treaty for every Memorial Games, we shake hands, sealing our bond as partners in these games. Then we're escorted into the Justice Building, while our families pack our clothing for inside the arena. We actually get a couple sets of clothing. As I've heard the arena being used was going to change seasons. That's what I've heard Can't really confirm it right now.
District 2: Anthon Howard's POV
I walk to the town square. My metal shard necklace around my neck. My short hair spiked with hair gel. Many girls look at me and then dread the idea of even staring at me. I'm not going to mess around with anything or anybody. I'm going to volunteer if I don't get picked. I wanted more than anything to enter the Hunger Games alongside Clove. She was the only person who would be near me, and refused to call me Tony. However that prick Cato was chosen instead. How I envied him... He was going with my Clove. Sadly neither of them lived, but I would've lived and so would've Clove. If it was us as the last two. The Gamemakers that year would've lived up to their new rule of letting the two surviving tributes of a district win, not those losers from District 12. In fact that Peeta would be the first to go. Then his precise Katniss Everdeen. But no they survived, and they forced the Gamemakers to let them live. Now it's my turn. I enter town square and join my age group. Sitting there I wait for the boys being called. I know that Livia Drusus, the district's prostitute won the all female sword fighting tournament. She's really beautiful too. If not for her seductive personality, I'd make her my bride, and then i'll show why the men are the most dominant gender in humanity. She takes the stage when she's called, and this new representative from District 12, picks a boy's name.
"Anthony Howard!" he calls out. It's me! Wow... Never expected that to happen. I was hoping to volunteer. I take the stage, and shake Livia's hand when we were supposed too... She knows her place... She's actually afraid of me... Which is good, because it means I have to train her less in being my wife...
District 2: Livia Drusus's POV
I walk down into the kichen for breakfast... I wear my reaping dress of a blue, green and purple floral pattern that is four inches above the knees. Complete with silk vertical ruffles coming out of the front and back. I see my brothers fighting over the last bagel for breakfast, and it is one of my favorites.
"No I get the last bagel!" Hadrian shouted.
"No it's mine!" Cassian replied back. While they were fighting over the bagel, I snuck over to the breakfast food, and plucked it off the plate.
"Mine now!" I say with a wicked grin, as I take a bite out of it. My brothers start whining and bitching about it being unfair. But I ignore them as I eat the delicious wild berry bagel. I walk over to the fridge to grab the orange juice and pour myself a glass. I sit down at the kitchen table and eat the bagel in front of my brothers, on purpose of course. Because if anybody is going to have that last breakfast food, it's me. My brothers look on in horror as the breakfast they fought over was slowly being eating. As I eat, I ponder about these new types of games, the Memorial Games. I trained and even won a sword fighting tournament for the Hunger Games, then the rebellion comes along and puts a stop to that. So now I have no clue what I should do if I'm reaped. I can't fire a gun, I hate guns!
I finish breakfast and leave for the reapings. I walk alone, all of my friends are behind me or at the town square already. I reach town square and sit in my place among the other seventeen year olds. Gale Hawthorne is our representative, a former rebel of course. He stands at the podium after the mayor read the stuff for the reapings.
"I would choose ladies first, but I was told that someone is already chosen to represent the girls of District 2, after winning a tournament. Please come up here Livia Drusus."
I stand and walk to the stage. I guess I now don't know what I'll do. My fate in these new games is sealed. I gues I'll make the most of it. Gale then walks over to the boys ball and draws a name, where he reads it aloud...
"Anthony Howard!" I look and see a very built and monster of a teen stand up and walk to the stage. My god... He looks so angry... Like if anybody called him Tony, would never be seen again... I better not get on his bad side or else I'm a goner in that arena, and I don't mean being teleported out of the arena and eliminated. I mean by the Gamemakers will be using a search party to find my mangled body. The treaty is read and we shake hands, though Tony doesn't looke to be in the mood for hand shaking at all. I've never been this scared in my entire life.
District 3: Mace Carron's POV
I wave my sister goodbye, as I go to my section and wait for the reapings. I'm wearing my father's favorite suit. He died with my mom in the rebellion last year. So I'm wearing this suit to remember the sacrifice my parents made so I can live in a Panem without the Hunger Games. Enobaria, a former rebel herself, picks a name from the boys ball first and she reads it aloud.
"Mace Carron!" When I hear my name called, I stand up and walk on stage. Then Enobaria announces the female tribute, a girl name Ekaterina Obata. I think I've seen her around the forests and stuff. She's always looking for things that the labratories/factories need for research and development, in order to mass produce products for the rest of Panem. I think she even helped TV stations get photos for backgrounds and stuff. But after the Treaty of Peace is read, we shake hands. I hope she is good enough to help us win the games.
District 3: Ekaterina Obata
I walk to the town square... I'm wearing my favorite white dress, with lace around the bust and hem, and matching flat heel shoes. Today is the reaping of the new Memorial Games. I'm not worried about being reaped. Because I won't die in thises games. I dreaded being reaped two years ago, with the Hunger Games. I was so lucky that someone else was picked then. It meant I could still live and help out with the factories and TV studios.
I enter town square and sit in my section. I await the reapings as the mayor makes his speech and then hands things over to Enobaria, our District representative for these games. She went to the boys first, usually it's the girls but this time it's the girls.
"Mace Carron!" she announces. I look and see a small kid, who looks like he can be snapped in half like a pencil easily, stand up and walk to the stage. He had on a old hand me down suit. Possibly from his father, as it is a tad bit big on him. Enobaria walked over to the girls ball and drew a name.
"Ekaterina Obata!" She meant me, I slowly get out of my seat and walk to the stage. I'm not really looking forward to work with other tributes to win a non lethal games to show future generations what happened last year. But I'll go along with it if I have too. After the reading of the Treaty of Peace. Mace and I shake hands and are led to the visiting rooms, so our families can give us our clothes to wear into the arena. I wish the Capitol would provide us all with a uniform or something, but maybe next year as this is the first ever Memorial Games. I know they're trying to get the kinks out of the games.
District 4: Pearl Beltrame
I model myself in my sandy dress that ends above the knees. It's wonderful... My dark almost black hair is tied into a bun. My toned and tanned arms and legs are always what gets guys to notice me. I'm not well built but I am more athletic. My sea green eyes glisten in the reflection. I look at myself one last time in the mirror, before going downstairs for breakfast. After eating breakfast... I walk to town square for the reapings. Today is the day that the new Memorial Games will begin. I'm ready to volunteer if I'm not picked. It is my duty as a girl from District 4 to enter these games. To represent the District 4 career tributes. I walk past my good friend Caspian Fishel. We talk from time to time, and I always smile and nod a greeting to him in school. Capsian is the only guy I can call a friend. Nothing will ever change that, not even our feelings for each other going into romantic levels. Of course there is no hint of any romantic interest between each other.
I sit down in my age section and watch as Annie Odair take the podium for the reapings. I feel sorry for her, her husband Finnick was killed by the Capitol in the rebellion. She walks over to the girls ball and pulls a name out. Then back to the podium to read it aloud.
"Diana Ross!" A young twelve year old girl in a wheelchair makes her way to the stage.
"I volunteer!" I shout as I stand and walk to the stage. I think Diana is grateful that I took her place. As she mouthes a simple thank you before going back to the area her wheelchair sat. Annie then drew boys name and read it aloud.
"Caspian Fishel!" Now I was shocked, what were the odds that two friends would be going into the Memorial Games.
District 4: Caspian Fishel's POV
I get up, get dressed and eat breakfast. My normal daily routine to start the day, but today is different than the rest. I'm supposed to go to the reapings after breakfast. I don't want to be late. I'd rather go and sit in my boat, and relax the entire day. But I guess I can go attend the reapings for the first ever Memorial Games. I just hope I don't get picked.
I leave for the reapings and when I get there, I start talking to my friends, just as my good friend Pearl arrives. She looks radiant as always, but we're good friends and nothing more. We all take our seats in our respective sections when the mayor steps up to the podium. He talks about the history and even about the successful second rebellion. Then Annie Odair stepped up to the podium. I sometimes watch over her son Finnick Jr., and even help her around the house. As she's suffering from a severe case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, she suffered from her own Hunger Games. She goes to the girls ball and picks a name.
"Pearl Beltrame!" It's my good friend Pearl! I know she can come home a victor, of course if she does, then I don't want her to change because she's rich. Annie picks out a boys name and reads it at the podium.
"Caspian Fishel!" Wait... What? Me! I don't know what to think, but I stand and walk to the stage, I stand next to Pearl. After the Treaty of Peace is read and Pearl and I shake hands. This is going to be interesting indeed.
