Of the Insane

by The Whispering Panda

*CLOSED* 101 years after Katniss and Peeta's Games, Cato won, and the Games have continued as planned. This year is a Quarter Quell, and it's full of surprises. So enjoy the family you have now, because it's most likely the winner will lose their mind.

5. District Four Reaping and Goodbyes

Alacia Odair's POV
I glow in my short, sexy, shimmer blue dress. My golden hair frames my beautiful face and my silver bangle earrings compliment my silver strappy shoes. I walk with my best friend, Lizzi Coral, to the square. We made a pact. I'd volunteer for the Hunger Games this year, she'd volunteer next year.

Skye Wilder's POV
Profanity spews from my mouth as I fall. Stupid heels. I think to myself. No one can walk in them. They should disappear from the planet.

I regain my footing and stand among the other 15 year olds. My clique gathers around me and we begin to talk excitedly. Today I am volunteering for the Hunger Games. This year I will win.

Augie Bloom's POV
I shiver as a cool breeze blows in from the sea. My shorts aren't helping. I know I'm supposed to wear something nice to the reapings, but honestly, I couldn't care less about the Hunger Games. So I stand with my best friend, Claire Montgomery, in blue shorts and a green sweatshirt. Our escort takes the stage, and I almost lose my breakfast when she calls my name.

Alacia Odair's POV
Augie. Ugh. What an ugly name. She's in shorts and a sweatshirt. Come on, at least care about your appearance on reaping day. It will be an embarrassment going to the Capitol with her. I volunteer next anyway. I wasn't going to give up being a Victor because of some badly dressed girl. There's one more volunteer, a 15 year old named Skye, who obviously thinks the world revolves around her. She has got a lot to learn about the world.

Theron Hawke's POV
"I volunteer!" I walk up to the stage in a suit and tie. I can tell this surprises everyone, because I'm usually quiet and shy.

Blake Walter's POV
I volunteer next. I go onto the stage with a shake of my black hair. There's one more volunteer and then it's off to say goodbye.

Corey Vandergriff's POV
I don't pay attention to the goodbyes. There's a lot of congratulating, hugging, and, unfortunately, kissing from my parents. My father gave a speech about how it was my brother's year to volunteer, but he knows I'll come home, and since it's my last reaping I did the right thing by taking charge, blah, blah, blah.

I know this one is short, but the Interviews will be pretty long, so stay tuned! I'll be posting D5 soon, but I need a boy and a girl for D6, so submit!
