District 1
Rosekiss Guidsir
As the Peacekeepers take us away from the stage to the Justice Building, behind they're bulky uniforms I let the flow of tears escape my eyes, I am shaking, harder and harder, I can't control it, I need to calm down, seriously Rose, calm your self down now, you can't let anyone see you cry or you will be labeled as weak and that wouldn't help anyone. By the time we get to the Justice Building I have stopped crying, but I am shaking, still, uncontrollably. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look up to see a sympathetic face of a 19 year old Peacekeeper, "Good luck." He whispers almost inaudibly. I nod to show my gratitude. By the time I have been led into an almost all velvet room my sister, Dawn, and our parents are already there. When Dawn sees me she runs up and hugs me, I stroke her hair, and tell her that it is all going to be okay, but I have to say that I don't believe it, not one bit. "Honey, come here." My dad says to me, and so I go over and sit on his lap just like when I was little, my mother comes over and sits on next to us, holding me as well, finally Dawn comes over and sits on my lap too. We stay like this until the Peacekeepers come and get me, but Dawn isn't letting go, why isn't she letting go? Seriously she is going to get killed. I try to shrug her off but she doesn't let go, the Peacekeeper is eyeing her suspiciously, and then he comes over, now she is sobbing, I am thankful it is the Peacekeeper that wished me luck, he gently scoops her up and carries her to my mother, by this point Dawn is thrashing, "Shh.." my mother whispers. The Peacekeeper walks me down the long hallway, "My name is Jake." He tells me, I am a little surprised by this, I thought we had an unspoken truce to not talk to each other. But apparently not, "Nice to meet you, even if I am about to die, my name is Rosekiss."
"Nice to meet you Rosekiss." He hays holding out his hand and I take but I pull him into a hug, I really need it. By this point we are in front of the train so I go to get on, "Wait!" he says just as I have turned to get into the train, when I turn around his face is inches from mine, and then he kisses me. It is short and bittersweet, "Please come back." He whispers, I nod my head.
And then I get on the train.
Niccolo Machiavelli
I silently walk with the Peacekeepers to the Justice Building, I look over and see Rosekiss sobbing, and some part of me feels sorry, but only a small part. I also notice the young Peacekeeper staring longingly at her, and some part of me feels protective and jealous, seriously, I am not going into these games to fall in love, look what happened to Peeta and Katniss, and then her cousin and his fiancée, Gale and Madge, I think they're names were, it didn't turn out well. By the time I get to the velvet room my parents are there, my mother is silently crying, and my father looks proud, "YOU DID IT SON! MAKE ME PROUD!" he shouts, this is all he has ever wanted from me, and I am happy to please him. "honey…." My mother says still crying. She pulls me into a hug and I hold onto her tightly, I am going to miss her the most, I breathe in her scent, she smells like jasmine and freesia. I accidentally let one single tear roll down my face, but I wipe it away. My father gives a silent chuckle. "I'm going to miss you mom, mommy." I don't know what has come over me, but I regret it, I regret everything, growing up, becoming more mature, becoming independent, turning myself into a loner, all the while leaving my mother behind. I let another tear roll down my face, and then another and then another and then I start crying all out. My mother is still holding me, but now she is comforting me. The Peacekeepers come for me, and I am overwhelmed by the instinct to hide, run away and hide with my mother. But I wipe the tears away and walk over to them, I hug my mother again, "I love you so much." She says. "I love you too, mom." I whisper, and then she starts crying. I walk out the door and onto the train.
My poor mother, but I will come back.
District two
Shiloh "Shy" Marak
I walk down the hallway, with my trusty Peacekeeper by my side. They have been with me ever since I was reaped. "So how are you doing?" I ask the bulky man, he ignores me. "Yeah, I'm about to die, what are you doing this weekend?" I say, this is fun, I can tell we're going to be lifelong friends…not. By the time we get into the room Harker and Rena are there but no sign of my father, as soon as I am in the door Harker runs up and scoops me into a hug, "Don't go." He whispers, "Please don't go." I feel so sorry for him, he sound so young, like the small children we used to be. I hold him as well, and then Rena comes up and hugs both of us. "I love you guys." I say, I am going to miss them.
"We love you too." Harker and Rena say. Harker is about to say something but then the door opens, oh come on I told Jeff –that's what I named my Peacekeeper – that he needs to give me some time with my other friends before he can come in, but it's not Jeff, it's my father, Harker and Rena leave the room, "Sweetie!" he says rushing in, and pulling me into a bear hug. "No, I am going to fix this." He says, but we both know that there is no way he can fix this, it's a done deal. We stand there and hug each other until Jeff comes back, "I love you honey." He says, "I love you too Daddy." Jeff smirks, but I shoot daggers at him wit my eyes. And then Jeff quiets down. Good Jeff, good boy, maybe if I wasn't about to die I would buy him a treat. But I walk down the hall with my beloved Jeff. And then I go to get in the train, "Don't die." Jeff says gruffly, "Thanks Jeff." I say, and then I get on the train, I look back and see that Jeff looks a little confused, oh, whoops, I didn't teach him his name yet, no wonder he is confused.
I laugh to myself, at least I can entertain myself.
Aleksander "Alek" Longwood
I look down the long looming hallway that I am walking down with the Peacekeeper. Finally we reach a room that I believe will be the room that I will say my goodbyes in. When I walk in the door the first thing I see is Rosella, my girlfriend, she runs up to me swallows me in a hug, I kiss her hair, "I know, it will all be okay, just promise me one thing?" I say, she nods her head, "Just promise me that until I die you will wait for me, and if I do die you will move on and create an amazing life for yourself." She starts to cry again, "I love you." She whimpers, ugh I feel so sorry for her, I want to make it better, but I can't. The only thing I can do for her is not die, which might be hard. "Goodbye." She starts to cry again. "No, don't say goodbye, not yet, you can probably walk down to the train with us." She nods her head. I feel so sorry for her, she looks up and my lips find hers, it is short and sweet but I enjoy it, hoping it isn't our last. I say goodbye to my parents, who walk in next, it is surprising to me that neither or my parents are crying, in fact they look a little, happy. But my father wishes me luck and my mother hugs me and then they leave. Rosella walks back in, she has stopped crying but still looks miserable. I hug her and we stand there like that until the Peacekeepers come, "Um, do you think that maybe she could walk with us?" I ask trying to sound confident and polite, which I must say is hard. The Peacekeeper gives us a sympathetic smile and nods, he walks us down to the train where the mayor is waiting, "You two ready?" he asks. "Oh, no sir, Rosella was just walking me to the train, she isn't a tribute."
"Oh, I know. I would recognize that beautiful face anywhere." This makes Rosella smile, "but this year the Capital is paying for the loved ones of the tributes to stay in a hotel during the Games, and front row seats to the Games, "special" friends get to stay with they're loved ones right up until they step off the metal plates and into the Games." I see the mayor's mischievous smile when he says "special", well it's not like we were trying to hide the fact that we were dating. I look at Rosella and see that she is absolutely ecstatic. "But I don't have any clothes." She says, her smile faltering. "Not to worry that has been taken care of, they are in your room." Rosella's face lights back up again, "come on!" she says pulling me into the train, I sit with her on my lap and the last thing of District 2 I see is the crying face of my mother.
