I woke up in a bed. The sheets were neatly tucked around me. I pealed back the white comforter and stood up. My legs were weak. I looked around the room there was a wardrobe to the right of the bed. Behind my head was a window with the blinds down. I pulled the blinds. Expecting blinding brightness I closed my eyes. Looking out it was sunset. There was a large shower and a sink. I slowly walked over to the door. It was unlocked. I opened the door. I was on a train headed for the capitol. I walked down the hallway to the main room. Our escort was there. She had a neon green wig with a purple dress on. It buttoned down to her knees. Our mentors were there. A man and a woman both looked in their 50's and 60's. I sat down at the table. I could tell it was tense. Our mentor cleared her thought. "Well the fighter awakes" our mentor Chaff said. I looked around. I still wasn't happy. Even though I was dying inside I turned my depression and sadness into anger. "What never seen a girl love her stupid idiot " her words of anger turned to sadness "sweet loving cute brother who looks just like his mom who ran away from us when he was 7 and I was 8" Tears began to flood from my eyes. I let my head fall onto the table. My escort stroked my head with her long nails. I just began to sob. I picked my head up and wiped my tears. "Ummmm" my brother said. I channeled all my sadness into anger at my brother. He ruined my life. If he dies I don't want to live. They could have survived without me. He was an idiot. I picked up the cheese knife and launched myself towards him. Chaff, my mentor grabbed my arm but I was still swinging the knife. My escort scurried away from the table yelling for help. I slashed my brother's shirt. My other mentor, seeder grabbed the knife from my hand and dug it deep into the table. I screamed just like at the reaping. Hot salty tears rained down my face. I stopped struggling and they let me go the floor. I cried and lied on the floor. I sobbed onto the floor. My brother stroked my hair. I swatted his hand away. I didn't want to be touched. I continued sobbing. I forgot what happened next but in 30 minutes we were quietly eating dinner. We were about 4 days away from the capitol. I went back to my room and took a hot shower. There were so many buttons. I made it nice and warm with some scented pink bubbles and a green face mold. I cleaned it off and brushed my hair. In district 11 we washed up in the tub not fancy showers. I climbed into bed and fell asleep. When I woke up it was pitch black. I wonder what woke me up. I looked around the room I saw noting. Then a pair of glowing red eyes appeared. A large wolf mutt jumped on me and began to slowly rip me apart. I awoke upright in my bed screaming. My brother entered the room. It was 2am according to the clock. "It's ok just calm down shhh" he said. Even though he was younger than me he looked much bigger he stroked my head. His large muscular arms pulled me into a hug. I sobbed quietly into his arm. "Why why did you do it Neo" I said through the tears. "Well I was infuriated when you were called because you wouldn't have been called if you didn't take tesserae which you only took for me. You would have had enough food yourself but you took it for me. I thought I had to protect you forgetting that only 1 can live" he said. I sniffled, He slowly lied me down and kissed me on the nose like how I did to Him when he was little. He got up but I grabbed the back of his shirt "don't go" I said. He sat on the edge of my bed with his arms wrapped around me singing until I fell asleep. I woke up neatly tucked in my bed. I got up and walked into the dining area where breakfast was waiting. I was very hungry. I filled my plate and stuffed it in my mouth before my brother came out. "You're both here good. Now we can discuss training. Would you like us to train you together or separate?" Seeder said. In unison we said "together". "ok well when we get to the capitol laurel don't have another break down like at the reaping and to both of you we need an identity. Brother and sister clinging to hope that a rule change will be mad or brother and sister who are angry with the capitol. Maybe fierce brother and sister oh or helpless then you get fierce in the games what do you think?" Chaff said. "Brother and sister fierce but angry with the capitol" I said. "sure" my brother replied. We then ate in silence until my escort said "3 days until the capitol such fun". I balled up my fist and did breathing exercises. I would not attack our escort. Later that day me and my brother lied on the couch together watching the reaping's. We started with one where a small13 year old girl was called but a muscular 17 year old volunteered. She was large and looked tough but a boy was called. He was small and weak. No one volunteered. We could take out the boy together if we had weapons but the girl could kill us in seconds. Next was district 2. They had a 15 year old fit girl as tribute and a large muscular boy he was over 6 feet with large muscles. Then came three where a young 12 year old was called. No one volunteered but the mom was sobbing. The boy was a 15 year old boy with greasy black hair. He had acne all over his face and his clothes were dirty. Next was 4 where a 16 year old girl can up with her hair still dripping from the sea. Then there was a boy wearing only swim trucks and a white shirt over his chest. He looked about 15. He shook his blonde hair off his sea green eyes and shook hands with the other tribute. We got to 5 where and 14 year old girl with a deformed leg was called. Then a 17 year old boy with callused hands. After that was 6 where a 12 year old girl and a 15 year old boy looked depressed but didn't fight it the same went for all the other districts depressed children walking up on stage, until we got to the 11 reaping. We looked like idiots flailing my arms around trying to kill my brother. I watched in horror as hot tears spilled onto the floor. Then I say them inject something into my brother and me. We fell limp to the floor and they dragged us into the justice building. Our dad screamed and jumped towards the stage. Peace keepers took him and dragged him into the justice building. Then came the district 12 where a young girl with auburn hair was called up. She walked up and no one volunteered. Her name was Madge. The 2 mentors katniss everdeen and peeta mellark who had won last year gasped. It looked like Madge was their friend but peeta gasped when the boy tribute was called. "Even Mellark".the mentors brother was reaped.
