I was led into a plush green office inside our Justice Building. It was the first time I have ever actually been in a room other than the ballroom here. I wandered around the room, trying to figure out whom it belonged to while I waited for whoever was going to come say goodbye to me. I looked at the pictures on the desk and recognized one of the photos as a girl who had gotten reaped about five years ago. I remembered her name being Arianna, however her last name escaped me. Thinking back on the games she was a part of, I remember her being killed in the bloodbath, an unusual thing to happen to a District 4 tribute. However, it happened again in the 74th Hunger Games to the male tribute, Triton. I felt my self starting to cry, thinking that me being killed in the bloodbath would probably happen. I honestly have no clue how I'm going to beat this thing.

Suddenly, there was knocking on the door, and soon after mother and father came in. My father immediately came up and hugged me, while my mother went over to the velvet green couch and sat down. I swallowed back my tears and tried to think of what I could possibly say. How would I say goodbye?

"Mom, Dad, I don't even know what to say besides the fact I'm terrified," I managed to choke out

"Schuyler, it's okay, you're very strong, you can make it out of there alive," My father told me, wiping the hot tears that began to pour down my face.

"Dad! No I wont! I'm not like the others! I haven't trained for this my whole damn life like everyone else has!" I found my self yelling at both of them

"You might not be trained in sword fighting or anything like that, but you are strong physically and emotionally, you have that as an advantage over most," My mother piped up

"I'm a gymnast! Not a murderer!" I screamed, "This isn't fair! I trained my whole life to be a champion gymnast, not a tribute in some stupid killing game! Isn't there anything that can be done? Isn't there someone who wants to volunteer to do this? People do it every year, I don't see why this one is an exception!"

"Sky, I tried. We all did, there is nothing that can be done," My father replied

A knock on the door from the peacekeepers indicated we had about one more minute to wrap this show up before my potential next visitors.

"We'll all try to sponsor you, I know that the sponsors you have gymnastics will help out, we're going to get you out alive," My dad told me.

"I'll try my best," I finally said.

The doors opened, which meant that time, was up. My parents came up and hugged me goodbye.

"We love you Sky," My dad said.

"I love you guys too," I replied.

Both of them exited, while the next group was shoved in. My siblings. My sister almost did the same exact thing my mother did. However, she gave me a hug first before sitting down. My brothers, who I guess made it in time to see me get reaped, gave me hugs as well. There was much talking with them, except for the same thing my parents already told me. When their time was up, they all got up to leave, except Patrick, my oldest brother.

"Schuyler, I have something for you," He said, pulling a little drawstring bag out of his back pocket.

Patrick tugged on the strings and dumped the content out, that's when I realized what it was. A necklace with a sapphire, the color of our sea on it. The token his girlfriend Lila, wore in the 68th Hunger Games. Lila, made it back home in a pine box. I remember when Patrick bought that for her. I had only been nine at the time and I thought it was the most beautiful thing ever. He got it as congratulations for making it through all the reaping's, however Lila didn't make it. That's how it became her token.

"Patrick, I can't take this from you. I know this is the only thing you have left from her," I said, crying again.

"Sky, please take it. It'll do much more on you than it will in my pocket. Lila almost won her games, and I know you can make it all the way. Please, wear it," Patrick told me

"Okay Pat, I will, for you and for Lila," I managed to get out

"Thanks, I love you sis, I know I'll see you again," Pat replied with tears in his eyes as he fastened the necklace around my neck.

After Patrick left, I was left all alone in the office again. How I hated that feeling. I laid down on the couch as I waited to see if I would even have another visitor. I kind of doubted I would have any. Sure, I had a decent amount a friends but I don't think any of them would know what to say in this situation. I know I wouldn't.

A Peacekeeper entered the room and announced it was time for me to get going. He escorted me to Lavina, who was babbling about the rule changes that were to be announced tonight and about our new escort.

"Lavina, What rule changes and what new escort?" I asked her.

"Oh Darling, Our new president has some new rules for the games! Exciting, really! Oh and there will be a different escort awaiting you on the bus, I'll still be around of course, but I'm training her in a way," Lavina babbled on

I didn't really care about a new escort, but I really did wonder about what these new changes would be.
