Sorry it took so long to update but I have to say I thought you guys would update some more so unless you want this story to stop I need your opinions! I'm desperate for criticism but please be reasonable nice.

Anywho here is the chapter you have all been waiting for.

Ingrid Nilson POV

"NILSON, get to the reaping at once!" screams the Peacekeeper who has a very low tolerance level, of course he would notice that I'm not at the reaping.

I back track out of the park careful not to be noticed by the Peacekeeper wondering how long I can leave him there standing shouting at the tree.

"HAWK!" I hear as I'm creeping away and I see my friends running towards me shouting like barbarians, shit my cover is blown.

"NILSON! Don't you dare move." Shouts the Peacekeeper as he make his way over to me.

"Great thanks guys I was planning on sneaking away but I guess we now have to RUN!" I say and sprint in the opposite direction.

"I say operation alley way is needed," pants Mitch as we duck behind a wall, operation Alley Way is when we split up and run through the alley ways of our district and we meet at the Justice building.

"Ok give it five minutes and I'll be there." I say and run off into an alley of the side from where we stopped to catch our breath.

I love climbing trees, I love climbing them about the same as I hate that annoying peacekeeper. He has so many rules, Don't walk to fast, Don't sit by the lake, Don't swim in the Swimming lake. I once said to him to Don't make so many rules, which earned me 10 lashes of the whip and I've still got the scars.

I run towards the justice building and wait in line for the sign up, slowly the line snakes it way forward and it's so slow I swear I saw a snail overtake me.

I hand my hand over and get pricked by the needle thingy, "Ingrid Nilson," I nod and walk off towards my section. I listen to some of the girls next to me but their conversation is very boring.

I see Mitch and Kev walk in to the justice yard so I leave my section to go and greet them, "Hey, slow pokes what kept you?" I asked seriously wanting an answer.

"Well, your stupid Peacekeeper friend caught us but we managed to escape before he could see us and realized that it wasn't you but it didn't stop us from being slowed, so next time don't let him catch you." Mitch said with a smug smile.

"Hey how about next time when I look like I'm sneaking away from a peacekeeper, you might not want to come screaming…" I start.

"HAWK!" screams someone.

"Hey I finished my sentence and my lips didn't even move!" I state wondering who knew me by that name, only Mitch and Kev knew me by that.

I turn around and come face to face with my big time enemy (who is also the mayors daughter how convenient).

"Hawk, dad asked me to give you this," she says handing me a scroll with the official seal, I know she's red it because I can see the rip and by the smug look on her face I know what it is about.

I open the scroll carefully and start to read;

Dear Ingrid Nilson,

It is my duty as your mayor to inform you that all the extra tesserae taken out by the mayor house will be put under your name, along with the extra tesserae of your family and the other grain wanted by my daughter. Your sacrifice as the duty of a citizen and my subject you officially have 50 slips in the reaping bowl, thank you for your contribution to the city of District 6.

Mayor Count.

Well isn't this great I'm probably going to be reaped because the stupid mayors daughter pulls more tesserae's on me because I'm prettier than her and I am better than her I every way possible she is such a BITCH.

I hang my head and show Mitch and Kev the letter and the look on their faces sinks my heart even more, Mitch hugs me and Kev soon joins.

"To your sections, everyone to your sections," yells a Peacekeeper and everyone goes to their section hurrying remembering what happened last year to the slowpokes.

I hurry to my spot and the reaping starts.

"Welcome district 6 to the annual 1000th Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favour," our escort says.

"You know," starts Maylet Enemy No.1, "I think you pathetic excuse of a family is going to lose another family member this year because I know you're a bloodbather for sure you have no hope you'll be dead just like your STUPID brother!" she says and turns around.

Latica and Heylay have to hold me back, they are my close friends who hate Maylet as much as me but fighting at the Reaping is strictly forbidden.

"And now let's get on with the Reaping," interrupts the Escort and her heels click along the ground, she approaches the reaping bowl then pauses to look up at the crowd she smiles her devil like Capitol smile.

Her hand ruffles around in the bowl and she pulls out a name slip, "And the lucky girl for district 6 is Ingrid Nilson…" I fall over and hit my head on the ground and my world goes black.

Escort POV

The girl tribute has just fallen over and knocked herself out, how selfish can she get thanks to her I'm standing up on this stage longer than I have to.

Well on with the Reaping, "And the boy tribute is…" leaving a pause to hold the suspense.

"GET ON WITH IT!" yells a boy from the back section, why that stupid pathetic district rat.

"Jack Bent!" I say over the microphone, the boy who yelled out steps forward and walks towards the stage and I cannot believe my luck.

"Well is it not sweet when justice is served," I say to him under my breath and smile back to the crowd hardly keeping myself from squealing in delight.

"District 8 your tributes Ingrid Nelson," who is a dead girl for sure," and Jack Bent! Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favour." I turn and exit the stage roughly pulling jack behind me.

We arrive at the car and Ingrid is sitting inside talking with the driver what a pathetic person who would stoop so low and talk to a driver.

Jack Bent POV

Well I have to admit it wasn't a great idea of insulting her then getting reaped but fate is a fucked up thing.

We arrive at the car and I see Ingrid sitting in it talking to the driver and I hear the Devil take a quick breath and storm the rest of the way.

She opens the door and Satan is unleashed, "Ingrid shut up and face the front, Jack get in and Driver let's go!" she says angrily.

I sit in the seat and look at Ingrid who is trying to supress a laugh, "Um, Miss Escort I think you have something on your face," she says smothering a smile.

"Oh no, Ingrid darling this is a rhinestone and I have it implanted in my skin," she tells us like we were toddlers.

"OK, Escort lady it just makes you look like an idiot who fell down a gold mine," I tell her in a little kids voice and her temper escalates.

"You do realise that I am your lifeline in the games, without me you could die," she tells me smartly but I have another idea.

"But isn't that what mentors do? I mean of course your there but your kind of a waste of space, the mentors coach us and they can also get us sponsors. I think your only in this for the fame and glory because I you win I'm going to say that you're a selfish stuck up snob who didn't help me at all." I say and step out of the car and storm to the train.

Ingrid Nilson POV

Well what a fight, jack completely owns the escort and then storm out of the car as it pulls into the train but what he says bothers me.

What makes him so confident that the Escort won't influence what comes to us in the games.

I step on the train and melt into the nearest chair and I stay there for the rest of the day and contemplate my strategy for the games.

So continues the train ride to the Capitol.

I am so sorry it took so long to update I had problems with my family and grounding me so I lost my laptop for a while and I had this chapter written up then I forgot about it and only remembered about it from a PM/ Review from V1ct0ry'Surv1v0r and Isabella Katniss so thank you for reminding me and MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR TRIBUTES FAVOUR (or not)!
