Roran Levi's POV

"Roran get up, you're late"

That must be the third time my Dad shouted at me to get up.

"Fine I'm getting up, wouldn't want to be late to the reaping would we?" I shout downstairs. He knows I'm volunteering this year. It was only the other day I proved myself as the best tribute in the district, defeating the rest in a gauntlet challenge. Finally, I can do something worthwhile.

"You know you don't have to volunteer son" My Dad says as I walk past him towards the door.

"Don't worry Dad, I'll be fine" I reply, walking out the door. Ha, if only I could convince myself that was true. I may be strong, I may be good with a bow and arrow, but anything can happen in the games. Ah what am I thinking? Of course I'll be fine.

I shake the thought from my head as I adjust my green tie slightly. Apparently, it matches my green eyes. I laugh and shake my head. Ah mum, always obsessing over the little things.

"Heh Roran!"

I look around to see Lexi running straight towards me. Stupid girl just doesn't know when to give up.

"Heh Lexi!" I reply, the sarcasm easily detectable in my voice. Or so I thought.

"So, you heading to the reaping?" she asks in her usual annoying tone of voice.

"Nah, just heading out to get some bread" I reply, shaking my head.

"Haha you're so funny! Handsome, muscular, funny…you really are the full package!" she says, smiling up at me.

Maybe that's another good thing about the Hunger Games. No. More. Lexi.

"Hey eh I'll talk to you later Lexi, I gotta go do something" I add, running off quickly before she can reply.

"Hey handsome"

I smile as I walk towards the only person I really trust in this whole district.

"I'll miss you in the Hunger Games you know" she smiles. God I love her smile.

"I'll miss you too" I reply, lifting her up and swinging her in my arms.

"Come back, won't you?"

Suddenly her voice is serious and I realise just how scared she must be.

"For you, I promise I'll be back. Now we really better get to the reaping"

"Go on ahead, I'll meet you there"

Puzzled, I have no choice but to walk on. Lose the Hunger Games? No, that couldn't happen, could it?

Elizabeth Boulder's POV

My eyes slowly creep open as I sit up in my bed and take a quick glance at the clock. Crap. I'm late. I jump out of bed and get changed into a beautiful white dress with gleaming blue and green gems printed on it. It looks great with my green eyes and bright red hair. I take a quick look in the mirror before running downstairs. Have to look good for reaping day, don't we? Especially, when we're volunteering.

"Mum? Where are you?" I ask, arriving in the kitchen. It's no secret that she didn't want me volunteering for the Hunger Games, but where is she?

"You know honey, you really don't have to volunteer for the games, I'm sure someone else would gladly take your place" she says walking into the room.

Of course. Still going on about not entering.

"Mum I already told you, I'm entering the games, and there's nothing you can do to change that"

My voice is firm. I mean every word I say.

"But Elizabeth, what if something happens, what if I never see you again?"

"I told you already Mum, I want this. I want to enter the games!"

I am practically screaming now, the palms of my hands leaning on the kitchen table as I yell.

"But Elizabeth…"

"No buts Mum, I'm volunteering for the games!"

My Mum goes quiet as I simply walk out of the house, slamming the door behind me.

"Hey Elizabeth!"

I look around to see my good friend Zara running towards me.

"So today's the big day, huh?" she asks, looking me up and down "Wow you look great"

I smile as I reply "Thanks. You don't look half bad yourself"

I laugh as she playfully swats me on the shoulder.

"Heh eh…there's something I need to tell you"

"Oh, what is it?" I ask, almost scared to hear her response.

"Dominica plans on volunteering in your place"

She says it all in one breath, seemingly afraid of how I'll react. But she's right to be afraid.

"What? Where is she?" I shout, almost grabbing Zara's dress.

"Over there" she whispers.

"I look across the street and sure enough, there stands Dominica all high and mighty. I'll show her. I quickly walk over to her, grabbing her collar and pushing her against the wall.

"Word is you're volunteering in my place" I say, pushing her harder against the wall.

"Ha, you were bound to find out sooner or…"

Before she can even finish I have hit her across the face, knocking her unconscious. My fists clenched, I turn to everyone else who saw what happened.

"Anyway else feel like volunteering? Yeah you better not, cause no-one is gonna stand in my way. NO-ONE!"
