Travis Soren District 11
The smell of cows woke me up. I sat up and sneezed. It reeked in here because of all the cows and my gang also reeked of smoke. I smiled remembering watching the mayor's house and justice building burn down in flames. That is what we do; we burn down anything that represents the Capitol and the mayor's house and justices building both qualify. I looked at the clock that was on the wall of the factory. We had five minutes before the workers start arriving to feed the animals. I quickly woke up the four member of my group and we cleared out. We were lucky enough to not run into any Peacekeepers, we fought with them numerous times but I've only won once and we all bear the scars from losing.
"We should probably head out, the reaping is starting soon." I said. The others agreed and since none of us have anything to change into we left just how we were.
….
We arrived just in the nick of time. In District 11 if you arrive after the Mayor starts his speech you can expect a public whipping. Anyways the Mayor introduced our escort and I immediately stopped listening, I didn't need to know her name or how happy she was to be here. I looked up to see her pulling out eh first slip and she shouted out the name, "Selena Yodis!" Somebody in the adult section shouted out and I assumed it was her dad. I was a little jealous of her because if I was reaped I would have no family to miss me. The escort asked for volunteers and there were none.
She pulled out the second slip and called out, "Travis Soren!" I closed my eyes for a second and then opened them and marched on to the stage. Just like Selena there were no volunteers.
