Cade's POV
Did they just call my name? I can't think straight. I stumble up the stairs to the stage. Everything is spinning. I can't see a thing. What is happening to me? I do my best to stand, but my knees instantly buckle under the weight. I black out and, as soon as the crowd disappears, I am with my parents.
"Don't worry, Son." My Dad says reassuringly.
"Do what you can to survive. Even if it means...you know... killing..." My mother says as she sobs.
"Be brave" My father whispers. Then they are gone.
I wake up on the stage with Delila's lips on mine. I jump up, confused and a little mesmerized by her beautiful green eyes. I know that shes kissed lots of guys, but I never thought that she would go for me. I am stunned. Delila is HOT. Sure, shes kind of dorky sometimes, and shes friends with my creepy sister, but that girl is really something special.
"Cade, it was just CPR. You know... to ...um...help you. It's not what you think." She blushes and goes back to her line. She sure is cute.
Before I can think about her anymore, I remember that I am District 4's male tribute. Crap. How could I forget that? Wait, who's the female tribute?
As if answering my question I hear Ellery Anison's annoying voice say,
"Now that all of that drama is done, we are going to choose our female tribute!" She reaches her small hands into the bowl, and pulls out a name.
"Periwinkle Myers." Oh no, a 12 year old! The Hunger Games are disgusting. Killing people is one horrible thing, but killing innocent little kids is just plain evil.
Before the young girl steps forward, my heart leaps as I see my sister, Blair, run up to the stage.
"I volunteer!"She yells, surprising every single person in the crowd.
What is she doing? Giving her life for a girl she doesn't even know? Blair isn't kind-hearted, not in any way. While watching the Games, she enjoys seeing people, well kids, fighting to the death. She doesn't care about anyone or anything. I think she even hates me. Wait! She probably volunteered so that she could have an excuse to kill me! What a bitch!
I usually don't curse or anything but today is one of those days that its necessary. My sister is the one usually spitting out curse words left and right, but I haven't heard a single one from her all day.
"So then its official! Our tributes from District 4 are Cade Lancaster, and what's your name, sweetie?" My sister looks up from the floor.
"Blair Lancaster." She mumbles.
"And Blair Lancaster! Wait! You two are brother and sister! This will be a great twist in this year's Games!" She says excitedly.
Then it really hits me. I remember what mom, or my hallucination of mom, told me to do. She told me to kill. And that means that I'm going to have to go against everything that I believe in, and kill Blair. Well before she kills me anyway.
Please review!
