~Spark-Former Capitol Citizen~

I yawn as I open my eyes on this sunny and very bright morning. I sit up in bed and look out the window, another reaping. This is the first reaping in the districts. The first in District Zero. It's strange being from a district now, I'm used to having everything I wanted at the push of a button. Now, I have to work for everything I want. I roll over and tap the snoring lump on the other side of the bed.

"Get up sleepy, you'll miss the reaping" I say sweetly. The lump thrashes and screams as he falls off the side of the bed. "Oh my god Sothe! Are you okay?" He catches his breath for a few moments, before frowning.

"Spark, you know that I was in the games right? You can't wake me up like that, I have nightmares every night about the games." He says to me. I frown back.

"Well I'm sorry, it's just that you are so much different than the other Victors, like Rage from District Two who moved next door a few weeks ago, he just glares at everyone." I sigh. "I'm sorry Sothe, it won't happen again." He smiles before brushing my bangs out of my eyes and kissing me lightly on the cheek.

"I know Spark, let's go eat and get changed to go to the Reaping." God I love Sothe, I'm so happy we became close over the past few months. He asked me to be his girlfriend three months ago and now I live with him. I can't believe it. "Spark? You coming down? I'm cooking eggs." Again, I love this boy.

I make my way down the stairs looking at all the pictures on the walls, some are from his games, others are him meeting other victors, but my favourite is the picture of Sothe with Ambrosia, the newest victor, and I.

When she was on her tour here we met her because Sothe was supposed to, he brought me along with him, Sothe told her our plans for a 'new' rebellion and she said 'I'll think about it'. An hour or so later Sothe got a phone call from Ambrosia saying only two words: 'I'm in'. From then we have been phoning her about our rebellion and how we are going to start it up. Sothe then told her the best place for them to talk would be at the next games when the Capitol is on their toes and they don't have to worry about two little victors. Sothe is trying to get permission fro me to come to the Capitol, so far nothing is working out.

"Spark!" Sothe yells, breaking my train of thought.

"Yeah?" I yell back as I round the corner into the kitchen.

"Breakfast is ready." He says with a big smile on his face. I look at the already made table and smile as I see the eggs are shaped in a big heart. I sit down and dig into the delicious eggs. A few months back when Sothe made me my first meal he told me that every victor is supposed to have a hobby and that his is cooking. He makes the best food, from stir fries to liver sticks, it's just amazing. He even holds open houses here on Sunday where him and two other chefs from town cook a huge meal and serve it to everyone who showed up.

"So Spark, when I leave today what are you going to do?" He asks me.

"Well I'm going to throw myself onto the next guy who hits on me and steal your house and fortune." I say with a smile as he gives me a disturbed look. "Just kidding, I'm going to be bored and lonely along with the rest of the people here."

"You're not going to be lonely Spark, Glenda from District Six who won the Seventy Sixth Hunger Games lives only two houses to the left. She likes you and you seem to like her." He says.

"I only like her dog. But she seems nice, but do you really think I want to spend time with a forty something year old woman who struts around in her bra all the time like she's god's gift to humanity?" I snarl as Sothe snorts and goes into a fit of laughter.

"She doesn't do that very often. I've only seen her walking around in a bra a couple times." He laughs. I smile and chuckle too.

"Well whenever you're in town she comes over and asks me how I got a hunk like you." Sothe looks at me mortified.

"You're not serious?" He asks me. I smile before nodding. He groans and covers his face. "Ew! Gross!"

"But I tell her that we both found each other, and that if she ever wants a hunk she should go after Rage." I say as I finish my last bite of eggs. Sothe walks over and kisses my cheek.

"Go get changed, I'll clean this up." I make my way upstairs and hop in the shower. As I wash my now ashy blonde hair I start to cry. I stop the shower and step out to wrap a towel around myself. I slide down into the corner of the bathroom and curl up into a ball. Sothe runs into the room and sighs when he sees me on the floor.

"What's wrong Spark?" He says as he hugs me.

"It's just that I miss home, I miss my friends, my family. They don't even know where I am. They could think I'm dead in the sewer." I cry again. "But if I didn't come here I wouldn't have met you." He hugs me tighter as a tear rolls down his face.

"Spark, you don't have to think of these things anymore. We are together, that's what matters. Let's get you cleaned up and go to the reaping." We walk into the bedroom to get changed. I put on my pink dress that puffs out at the bottom and Sothe has a semi casual grey suit on. We exit the house and wait for the other victors to come out of their home. First to meet us is Rage, who will be mentoring with Sothe this year. Glenda comes out moments later carrying a big sun hat.

As we walk to the town centre we make some small talk.

"Did you guys hear that the Rozeren's daughter might volunteer this year?" Rage asks.

"Wouldn't surprise me, they come from District Four. They know how to handle themselves in the arena." Glenda snorts.

"Well at least it's not a twelve year old who doesn't know how to fight." I say. Sothe smiles and pulls me closer to him.

"That's why I like you Spark, you're nothing like the other Capitol citizens." He says.

We arrive at the town centre with only a couple minutes to spare, Glenda, Rage and Sothe make their way onto the stage where there is a lot of cheering from the crowd. I go and stand in the audience with the rest of the people who are too old or too young to be reaped. I smile as the Mayor comes on stage. She introduces herself as Mayor July. She is a Capitol citizen; you can hear it in her voice even though she is trying her best to hide it. She reads out the treaty of treason and introduces the Districts Escort for this year. She bounces onto the stage and yells at the top of her lungs.

"Good morning District Zero! I am your Escort, Ursula!" She smiles. "And today is the first reaping for District Zero ever! I am very pleased to work with such lovely people like you." A few people, mostly the ones from District's One, Two and Four, cheer. "Alright, Ladies first!" As Ursula scampers over to the bowl a voice rings out around the area.

"I volunteer!" A girl with long blonde hair runs onto the stage. I can't help but notice her hair has turquoise streaks in it, I have to find out who does her hair. I remember when all my clothes were all colourful, and my hair had pink streaks in it, that was the life.

"And your name is?" Ursula asks.

"My name is Turquoise Rozeren" She states. I look at Rage on the stage and he winks. Where does he pick up this gossip?

Ursula then speaks again. "I just need to know your age and where you lived before coming to District Zero."

"I am seventeen years old, and I came from District Four before I moved here, why do you have to get into my business anyways?" Turquoise says. Ursula looks a little scared as she backs away from her.

"Congrats to your District Zero girl, Turquoise Rozeren!" The crowd claps as Ursula runs toward the next bowl. "And now, your District Zero boy is..." Ursulsa stops and covers her mouth as she looks at Turquoise, Turquoise's eyes widen pleading no. "Oh boy, well your boy is Brent Rozeren!" I turn to see the boy of the same last name of Turquoise walking out of the eighteen year old section to the stage. He is very attractive, his silver blonde hair gleams in the sun as he walks up the steps. When he approaches Ursula he says.

"Same District as my stupid sister." Ursula sighs and walks to the front of the stage.

"Wasn't this just very exciting! We have two siblings in the games! Give it up for Turquoise and Brent Rozeren!" The crowd gives them a round of applause before dispersing to their homes. Except for the few people who go into the justice building to have a moment of goodbyes with their family and friends.

"Sothe!" I yell as I jump onto the stage and grab his arm.

"Yes Spark?" He asks.

"Did you get the permission or do I have to stay here?" I ask him.

"Well the thing is, Spark," He sighs. "They won't let you come." Tears well up in my eyes.

"Why not!" I yell. Sothe looks like he is about to explode.

"Why? They said the moment you set foot in the capitol again they will kill you! I can't let that happen! You know you will be there someday though. I'll get you back home. I promise." Tears pour down my face. They will kill me if I go there. I know the only way I'll ever be able to go home is if the Games end, for good. "I have to go now, they are waiting for me at the train. Just remember; whatever happens, I love you." I smile and kiss his lips.

"I love you too." He backs away and runs to the train station. In just over a month Sothe will be home.

I hope.

~Brent Rozeren~

As soon as I step on the train I slam Turquoise into the wall in front of me.

"You idiot!" I yell at her. She turns around and slaps me in the face.

"I'm the idiot? I'm not the one who tried to start a rebellion in District Four which led to us being kicked out of there am I? No, you are. Who are you to tell me I'm an idiot? Huh?" She screams at me.

"Well you knew this was going to happen! They were going to rig it so I enter the games! But you decided to volunteer anyways! Now Mom and Dad are at home with neither of us!" I yell into her face before being grabbed by Rage, one of our mentors.

"Knock it off both of you! We are trying to help you survive! If you two want to die we won't help you at all. It's your choice!" Rage yells.

"Well I know I'm not going to win already so help her." I say as I gesture to my little sister who glares at me.

"No." The other man says as he walks in. "We are going to try and save you both, this year there is a rule that only the Victors know and some major people in the Capitol. Two can win this year." My mouth falls open. Two?

"Sothe? Are you serious?" I ask. He looks me in the eyes.

"I wouldn't lie to you." I look at Turquoise who raises her eyebrows and smiles at me. Sothe leads us into the dining room to talk. He looks us up and down.

"Alright I think I'm going to take Turquoise, Rage you get Brent. So you two are siblings? Would you like to be trained together or separate?" He asks us, but we don't hesitate to say together. "Well there you have it. Okay, what can you do?" He asks Turquoise.

"Well Brent and I grew up in District Four so we are great when it comes to swimming. I am also great with a trident and Brent can handle a sword very well, we touch up on every weapon here or there because we don't want to die if we have to use a weapon we don't know." Sothe nods then turns to me. "Anything to add?"

"Nothing really, we just won't hesitate to kill, we want to win. Not lose." Sothe nods and stands up. "You two can go to your rooms and get cleaned up, meet us back out here in an hour for dinner then we can watch the reapings." I follow Turquoise down the corridor hearing Rage say in a light whisper.

"Why did you choose Turquoise?" Then Sothe say.

"Because, I think she would be a great weapon for a rebellion."

A/N So how did you like the first reaping? Yeah it took us a while but I've been sick and Omicron had been grounded, but we are still working on this story, I'm currently writing District three whilst Omicron edits One and Two. Oh yeah, Omicron and I hae been wondering if any of you would do some fan art of Little Deaths? We would really lie to see what you draw, PM us the link and we'll choose the winner, and their character or the character they choose may get a little further in the games.
