Okay this was my mistake I forgot to add in the age of the characters, so if u could either PM me or leave a review stating your characters age and name, that would really clear things up, especially for those romances, because I don't want you to have your character planned as 18 and me think it's 13 and pair them up with a 13 year old, after I find out the age of everyone's tribute I will put up a list for romances…so let me know soon! And I'm sorry I know some peoples points of view are longer than others, those of you who have a short point of view mow will have a longer one later! I promise!
District 10
Fawna Meadows
"Mom, Dad! I'm meeting Blair at the market early to buy some bread and look around a little bit, is it okay if I get some new shoes?" I shout down the hall, to my parents, "Who's Blake?" my older brother Kam shouts, his real name is Kameron, but we call him Kam, he is very overprotective of me, and hates it when I hang out with guys, even though I never do. "No Kam, I said Blair!" I shout back down the hall, he sticks his head out the door of his room that he shares with my younger brother, Alric. "Oh." He says, but I can tell he still doesn't believe me, well whatever, it's really not my problem. But I walk out the door and into the street, to find Blair waiting for me, we both have on our best outfits. I have on a faded blue short sleeved dress that goes down to my knees with a creamy off white sash that is tied tightly around my waist with silver ballet flats. Compared to her outfit I look horrible, but she is from one of the wealthier families, not that my family is poor, but she is an only child where as I am one of four. She has on a light pink dress that also is just above her knees, it has intricate designs on it that are in the shape of flowers, and a darker colored satin bow around her waist, she has a matching bow in her hair and is wearing white sandal wedges, her toenails are also a light pink that matches her fingernails. "You look pretty." She says as we start walking down the street. "Oh, thanks, so do you, it's very…pink!" I say, and then we both giggle, knowing that it wasn't her choice but her mother's.
"So, where to first?" she asks.
"How about the bakery? I know you have a crush on the son!" I say teasingly.
"I do not!" she says, in mock defense, "I just said that I thought he was cute!"
"Uh huh, right." I say still joking with her.
"Fine, then let's g to the bakery!" she says. So we walk to the bakery and then through the front door with the chiming of a small bell, telling the Parkinson's that that have customers, "Hey" Ricky says, they're son who I think Blair has a crush on, "Can I help you ladies?" he asks us, "Um sure, can I get three loaves?" I ask, trying to hold back my laughter. "Sure, be right back." He tells us. I have to give the kid one thing, he is really cute, and he has the smoothest voice I have ever heard, it's not too deep but definitely not girly at all. "YOU like him!" Blair shrieks. "What, no shhh he's going to hear you, of course I don't like him!" I yell back in a hoarse whisper. "Yes you do!" she whispers back, giggling. "No I don't!" I say in my full voice. "Don't what?" says a voice, and then I realize that Ricky is back, and he looks very confused.
"Oh, um, I don't like tofu, but Blair insists I do." I say, feeling my cheeks grow warm, ugh I never get embarrassed. "Oh, um, okay, and Blair, I was wondering, would you like to um, go to dinner sometime?"
"Um, sure, that would be fun." Blair says in response. And then we walk out the door. The second we are out we break into laughter, "I told you you liked him!" I shout. But rather than respond Blair blushes, which makes me laugh harder, we are about to go to the fruit stand when the clock rings, signaling 12 o'clock, so we start running to the Town's Square, for the reapings. When we finally get there we are both out of breath and have missed the opening speeches, but it doesn't matter to me, "AND NOW FOR THE GIRL TRIBUTES!" Esther O'Dell trills, our escort, "FAWNA MEADOWS! COME ON UP FAWNA, SHOW YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE!" I drop the basket with the bread, I feel my legs walk up to the stage and up the steps, I look around, I never said goodbye to my parents, or Kam, or Jesse or Alric. But I look at each of they're faces, I feel a silent tear roll down my cheek.
I am in it to win it.
Blaise Calder
I watch as Fawna Meadows walks up onto the stage, her normally twinkling eyes now hard and sad, I feel so bad for her as she looks at the faces of her family, but then I notice something, something odd, suddenly she stands taller, and looks more mature, she looks fierce, nothing like her usual personality. She seems more mature, like she suddenly decided that she was a warrior and I get the idea that that is exactly what has happened. But soon enough it is time for the guys to be reaped, "AND NOW FOR OUR NEWEST HANDSOME TRIBUTE…BLAISE CALDER! PLEASE BLAISE, BLAISIE, IS IT OKAY IF I CALL YOU THAT? GRACE US WITH YOUR PRESENCE!" What the heck is she babbling on about? Ugh I have no idea, she is so annoying, at least out mentors aren't that bad. But I slowly walk up to the stage, and shake her hand, and then Fawna's who has a very tight grip. And I decide something,
I am going to try my hardest to make it back and if I can't I hope Fawna does.
District 11
Lukia Norlum
I look over at the sleeping figure of my brother Milo, and I slowly start to try and shake him awake, he is my twin, and we lost our parents in a fire, which means we now live in an orphanage, but that was a while ago, so now I am used to living here, in this cold rundown place, fighting for food, it's not actually that bad, our caretakers are sweet as they can be in a place filled with starving children, D11 isn't exactly the richest District. "Mi, come on wake up!" I say shaking him harder. "Eh, whyyyyy, I'm tired." He says, rolling over so that he now faces me. "Because A.) It's reaping day B.) We won't get breakfast if we don't and C.) It's time to WAKE UP!" I say, giggling when some girls look over and start gossiping about me, they already tried to start a rumor that Milo and I were actually dating and were just pretending to be twins, that's the one that made us laugh the hardest. But eventually Milo got up and straightened up his side of the bed. "Come on lazy bones." I say already walking down the creaky, old steps that I used to make Milo carry me down when we first got here, in fear that it would collapse.
Eventually breakfast was over and Milo and I found our nicest outfits that we hide throughout the year for the reapings and other things like that. When we were both dressed we were released into the market, because we were older, it was the first year that we get freedom for the reapings. First, like we always used to on Reaping Day with out parents, we use the money that we saved up for the past year and buy ourselves a loaf of bread, as we walk into the bakery the baker's wife looks us up and down and then gives us a welcoming smile, "Well if it isn't my favorite customers!" she exclaims, she used to be close friends with our mother, they were best friends actually, and she fought to keep us when our parents were killed. But obviously she lost and was almost killed in the process, because of that the baker isn't fond of us. "One loaf of bread please!" Milo says in his most polite voice.
"Coming right up!" she says cheerfully. As she hands it to us Milo tries to give her the money but she shakes her head and winks, "It's going to be our little secret, okay?" We smile big and nod our heads, "Thank you!" we both say, and then we say our goodbyes and she wishes us luck and we leave. "Looks like we still have some time on our hands, what would you like to do?" I ask him. It takes him a minute to respond and then his face lights up in a smile, "I have an idea!" he says, taking my hand, "Where are we going?" I ask, he knows I hate surprises. "You'll see." He says, leading me down the street. We finally stop at a small shop that Milo goes inside, but when I try to follow he stops me, "No, it's a surprise!" so I have to wait outside, it feels like it's taking him forever, but just as I'm about to go in he comes out with a small brown bag in his hand, "Close you eyes." He tells me, so I do, because I know I can trust him. I feel him messing with my hair and then he finally tells me I can open my eyes, when I do I see myself in the store window. I have a beautiful white silk ribbon in my hair, it is something that we had never been able to afford, but I guess Milo had saved more than I thought. "Thank you!" I say throwing my arms around him, "it's so pretty! I love it!" he hugs me back. "I thought that you deserved something special, I noticed that a lot of girls had ribbons in they're hair, and I thought it would look pretty on you." I give Milo a kiss on the cheek and then we walk over to the town square for the reapings, for some reason I'm not nervous, that's the thing about the orphanage, you never have to take out tessarrae, they receive more than enough food from the capital. Not that they save it well, but still no tessarrae for us. When we reach the town square we have to split up, I go to the girls section and him the boys. When the mayor and our escort are finally done with the speeches they decide to put on some sort of thing that I'm not paying attention to , the nerves finally catching up to me. I watch, but not listen as Richichi Pennings shoves her tiny hand into the bowl that holds our names. "ANNNDD OUR LOVELY LADY ISSSSSSSSSSSS…. LUKIA NORLUM! COME ON UP LUKIA, DON'T BE SHY, WE ALL LOVE YOU!" I look around, sure that there must be some other girl with my name, but there is not, I, without thinking, turn to run to Milo. For some reason he always makes everything better, I am getting closer, I see his face filled with dread, and then I feel a sharp pain in my abdominal, and oh my gosh it hurts. I look down and see a strange boy with ripped jeans, blue shirt and leather jacket, I can see the sadness in his eyes, and he shakes his head, but I double over in pain, I feel arms go around me and I can only hope that it's Milo and it is, thank goodness, but he carries me up to the stage and then walks back down. I feel sobs racking my body. And I shake Richichi's hand and then turn to see Milo also crying and then I see that boy slowly shaking his head with sadness in his eyes, he must know that I am an orphan. And I am.
But I am not going to die, because I know Milo needs me.
Kite Nightlock
I see the girl, the orphan girl, running towards her brother, and I see the Peacekeepers who will not hesitate to kill her, she is running as hard as she can, and I know this is going to hurt both of us, but I throw out my arm to stop her, feeling my arm jerk back in an unnatural way, man it hurts, but it saved her from being killed. And then she doubles over in pain, I only shake my head, I feel so sorry for her, but her brother is coming over and he picks her up,
"Thank you." He whispers, and I nod my head, she is silent but I see the sobs going through her body, my best friend Katie comes over to me and gives me a hug, "That was very kind of you." She tells me. I keep my arm around her, not because I like her, but because I am happy to have her in my life and it makes me happy to know, as horrible as it is that it is not her, and I am even happier that it is not Tanner, the poor little girl our group, me Katie, Sky, Katie's brother, Hashnet, Theo and Miles, have unspokenly adopted her, she is very sweet and small and she would be very, very easy to kill, she is quite like Rue, the small girl from our District who teamed up with Katniss, the Girl on Fire, and almost won. But I look over at Katie and see tears streaming down her face as she looks at the stage, the orphan's brother is just walking up now and she is shaking with sobs, I can't help but feel sorry for her, I look at her, shaking my head and then I see her eyes land on me and her eyes go cold, apparently she has no idea that I just saved her life. Finally it is time for Richichi Pennings, our escort to choose the male tribute, "AND NOW, WHO WILL BE OUR HANDSOME MALE TRIBUTE TO ACCOMPANY OUR LOVELY LUKIA NORLUM….NONE OTHER THAT KITE NIGHTLOCK! COME UP HERE KITE, I WON'T BITE!" I slowly trudge up to the stage with more confidence than I have, but I know I need to remain calm for everyone's sake, I shake Richichi's hand and then Lukia's, who is still shaking.
At least it wasn't Tanner.
District 12
I would just like to say that I am going to do the District 12 reapings in third person point of view, and then they will have flashbacks, sorry if anyone is disappointed but here it goes and I promise that they will have the same amount of they're point of view time in the arena as everyone else!
It was time for the reapings in District 12, the escort, Kertiels Youlep giggled into the microphone, obviously a little tipsy, but not enough to pull a Haymitch, Katniss and Peeta Mellark sat in they're seats, faces closed off of all emotion, knowing it was they're fault that 4 children were reaped each year. First Kertials called out the first female's name, "DESTINY MASON!"she called out, young girl starts to walk up to the stage , but than an older version of her shouts out "I VOLUNTEER!" she screams out frantically, the girl in the lavender dress walks up to the stage, "And what is your name?" Kertials asks sweetly, "Kat Mason." The girl says coolly, the terror is evident in her eyes, but the respect is equally as evident in Katniss Everdeen/Mellark's.
"OUR SECOND FEMALE TRIBUTE IS…..LOVELA TERMUNABLE!" Kertials screams, into the microphone, still giggling to herself. Then another girl, with jet black hair raises her voice. "I volunteer." She states, like it was the answer for a hard question that she wasn't sure of. "OHHH, TWO VOLUNTEERS! YAAAYYY! COME ON UP, AND WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"
"Amanda P. Adams." She says, "And was that your sibling or friend, I would presume."
"No."
"Do you know that girl?"
"No."
"Okay moving on to the male tributes!"
"OUR FIRST MALE ISSSSS…..CALEB JOHNSON! COME UP CALEB!" The frightening looking boy walks up to the stage, staring everyone down, by the look on Katniss's face it is evident that she is intrigued. But Kertials goes on, "AND OUR SECOND MALE IS…ANTHONY CANON! COME UP HERE ANTHONY, THE FASTER YOU COME UP HERE TH SOONER YOU GET TO SAY GOODBYE TO THAT PRETTY LITTLE SISTER OF YOURS!" She screams, not knowing she had crossed a line, this catches both Peeta and Katniss's attention. But he walks up to the stage very meekly.
All four tributes from 12 knowing that they had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, while Katniss and Peeta bear the heavy weight of knowing that they had practically just killed four children.
Okay guys I know it took forever to update, I am so sorry I promise I will update faster now, it just took soooo long to do every single reaping, it just took forever. So tell me what you think, and I think you might be interested to know that the arena is…THE DESERTED CAPITAL! Whoo hoo! Haha hope that's okay with everyone!
