Hey guys so this is the start of the Reaping's so just a heads up, Reaping's with your tributes will be longer than those with mine in it.
Enjoy the story and MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR!
Rory Dimitch POV
I wait in the line to sign in slowly making my way to the front, finally I prick my finger and enter the 12 year old holding area. I'm very nervous even though my name is only in there once.
Our escort a plump middle age man with orange hair and pale blue skin, Jeez Capitol trends are strange, walks on stage "Welcome District 1 to the 1000th annual Hunger Games." He says in the weird Capitol accent, the whole of district one cheers but I don't because the games are pointless, I notice that the eighteen year old section is by far the loudest cheerers, If I wanted to die I'm sure I could just shoot myself.
"Before we begin I would like to introduce your Mayor with his very interesting speech, he goes and sits down and the Mayor comes up. Around 500 years ago the Capitol gave up the Treaty of Treason speech so the Mayor of each district now talks about how fantastic it is to be chosen. "Ahem, welcome to all those who are new and welcome back to those who are old, I hope you all realise what an honour it is to be chosen for this amazing chance to represent your District in the Hunger Games." Or in other words, if your chosen welcome to your death. "I would like to hand you back to our amazing escort Melodna," apparently that's meant to be a boy's name. The strange man with a girl's name walks back onto the stage, and over to a bowl, "Well tradition stands, girls first," he thinks his funny by making us stand there in suspense, in the 1000 years of Hunger Games we always have Volunteers so why don't they just ask, I have to roll my eyes at their stupidity.
"The name on this strip is… Ali Jordern," I turn toward the 17 year old section and look for her, I know her she is friends with my sister Paige, as she walks toward the stage I notice nobody is volunteering, and I think that is because nobody other than my sister bothers to be friends with her.
"That's right District 1 don't volunteer, that must be a new record." She yells at the crowd. I feel bad for her but when our Escort walks toward the other bowl, "and your boys tribute is…" poor bugger, "Rory Dimitch." Fuck No.
"NOOOO!" I hear someone yell from the back of the Reaping area, "I volunteer as tribute in place of Rory, I volunteer as tribute!" I turn to see Lament or Frustrate so I'm thinking its Lament, "No LAMENT DON'T YOU DARE VOLUNTEER!" I scream at him I turn to run toward the stage but I bump straight into Frustrate –Laments Twin- who grabs my wrists and hold me tight as Lament walks past "LAMENT JULIUS DIMITCH DON'T YOU FUCKING WALK ON THAT STAGE!" I scream at him I see my sister Paige walk out of the 16 year old area and clamp her hand over my mouth, "It's going to be OK Rory, calm down, It's going to be OK," I bite her hand "FUCK!" I hear her curse and she strikes my temple knocking me out.
Ali Jordern POV
Now I expected to be reaped because I have my name in the bowl about 36 to 40 time so the odds weren't in my favour, and I also expected if I was chosen that nobody would volunteer for me because I not exactly popular.
But what surprised me was that Rory was called, and Lament I think it was Volunteer I mean I think it was Lament anyway after Rory screamed his name, but when Paige knocked him out that's what surprised me the most she was always very quiet and kind but that movement moved her to my number one favourite person.
I turn to shake Laments hand when I notice something on with eyebrow, but if I hadn't have been looking for it I wouldn't have noticed it was there, this isn't Lament but Frustrate, and I only remembered about the scar because I was the one that gave it to him.
"District 1 your tributes, Ali Jordern and Lament Dimitch, Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favour!" he smiles ecstatically. Weird Capitol people who smiles when they sentence kids to death.
I'm rushed to the train along with Frustrate, let me explain 50 years ago when a small girl from district 11 was chosen during the family goodbyes her family killed her so she wouldn't have to suffer a painful death. So since then it was straight to the train and off to the capitol.
TRAIN RIDE
I enter the train and turn to face Frustrate, "Right let me get this straight, you volunteered for Rory under your brother's name, why?" I ask him not letting him past. I see our mentors and Escort watching us. "I don't know what you're talking about Ali." He says but I'm not done. "Remember that training session last summer where I pinned you down and cut your eyebrow with a knife that scars, well I can see that scar and I know it's you Frustrate."
Everyone's eyes are one us know and I can see Frustrate getting nervous, "Alright," he confesses what a sweet success, "I volunteered but when Rory called Laments name I didn't correct him because I know Lament would have died if he had Volunteered but I was due to work in the new factory so Lament and I said that, if Rory or him had been Reaped I would volunteer for them." I look at him and continue my walk to the lounge area.
Oh My God the furniture was amazing and the food looks like it's to die for, but when I think about it, it kind of is for some people. I sit down with my mentors and a stunned Frustrate, they ask us a question that I already know the answer to, "Separate or Together?" "Separate," Frustrate and I say I together.
So continues the train ride to the capitol.
So guys how did you like it, thanks to V1ct0ry'Surv1v0r for Ali and Frustrate and Family are my own creations. I still need girls for 9, 10, and 11. And boys for 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. Please if you're out there give me a name and age, (and if they were reaped or volunteer) and I'll do the rest. Go on press that review button and tell me how I did and give me a tribute you know you want to.
