The First Victor

by Esther The Victor

"I felt their pain as they died I felt their tears on my cheeks I felt their screams in my throat, I felt like I was them, like I was the one dying while everyone in the Capitol cheered my killer on, and once they died, I felt their happiness, I felt their joy when they figured the pain was over, and I will never forget that feeling,never" -The First Victor

Chapter 4: District 3 Reaping: Iridescent Stone& Bolt Ivory

"What did you think about District 3?"

"I was sad I mean the girl was pretty and all but she seemed fragile"

"What about the boy?"

"I was surprised how he held his head high I mean he looked weak but he had determination something most tributes lack"

Iridescent

Well today's the reaping. Today two families will loose their child. But what can we do. We're not in shape to rebel again. We had to many casualties the last time. And now with the games. We'll be in no better shape than the last time. If only some one would speak up for us. Someone to lead is into war and maybe this time we'll win. Then we'll be free. I smile at the thought.

At the reaping

"Hello children I am Hestia your district escort now lets get on with it shall we" she skips to the bowl that has all of our names. This is it.

"Iridescent Stone!" I freeze. What? Not me. Please this is a mistake. This is all a horrible mistake. I start to cry and shake violently as I go up the stage.

"you have a lovely name child and your pretty too" Hestia tells me.

"Now on to the boys!" Hestia declares startling some nervous children. I look into the eyes of my friends. I only see desperation and fear.

Bolt

"Iridescent Stone" Hestia says. A girl from the 16 year old section walks up the stage crying and shaking violently.

"you have a lovely name child and your pretty too" Hestia tells her. She is.

"Now on to the boys!" Hestia declares startling us.

"Cable Ivory!" What? I walk out of the 15 year old section with my head high

I walk up the stage and see my little sister crying. Mom zoned out after our dad died. She kept us alive though. I know I won't come back. If I do. It'll be in a coffin. But I have to fight for my little sister. She needs the medicine. I'm going to win. I'm going to be the first victor and I'll make sure of that. I promise Felicity. I promise to win

"What did you think about the tributes families?"

"I don't know I never met them"

"Okay say you did, what would you have done?"

"Hugged them"

"Why?"

"Why? I don't know maybe because they probably thought they were going to lose a child to the games, I mean I sure did feel bad for my fellow tributes families"

"What would you have said to the tributes if they were your friends?"

"Don't go into the bloodbath get the closest pack near you and get out, run, find shelter and if it comes to it,kill"
