Everyone is going to hate me for doing this to these poor twins… Blame Steyse! She gave me them! Here you go!

(District eight reapings Turquoise (Turk) Skyfort's P.O.V)

I wake up with a yawn to my alarm going off. I hit it quickly and peer over at my twin sister. Her name's Saphire but everyone calls her Fire. I give a small grin. She's still sound asleep.

I tip toe over and lean in over her. Then quietly I say "Good morning Fire."

She screams bloody murder and jumps like eight feet in the air. I double over with laughter a huge grin frozen on my face.

She's laughing as well. "You jerk!" She play slaps my arm. "That wasn't funny!"

"Ah countraire little sis. It was very funny." I say in a mock capitol accent.

"Your only two minutes older than me!" Then she realizes why I used the capitol accent. She sinks onto the bed and puts her head in her hands. "Ah shit it's reaping day isn't it?" Fire groans worriedly.

I sit down beside her and put my hand on her back not being able to bear seeing my sister upset. "Don't worry we have a super low chance of being reaped. I mean we never even had to take terease not like most other kids in the distict. Our names are only in there five times."

(Saphire (Fire) Skyfort's P.O.V)

I sigh. I know Turk's right but I still hate seeing him like this. He's worried as well no matter what he says or how much of an act he puts up. If he gets reaped… I shake my head. Stop. You can't afford to think like this. You both have to get ready for the reapings.

"I know Turk… You're right but I still worry."

"Well don't." He says simply and flashes me a grin.

"Alright. Let's eat something." I reply and get up walking over the door. The second I open it our collies fly in. Smoke, Turk's collie runs over to him and jumps on him attempting to pin him down. Hope, my collie just lays down at my feet wagging her tail.

I lean down and rub her belly while she attempts to lick my hand. I stifle a laugh. They're just so cute.

I notice Turk walk over to the dresser and wonder what he's getting.

(Turk's P.O.V)

I walk over to the dresser and look at the top of it. The two stud earrings that my dad got for us when we were just babies and he couldn't tell us apart sit on top of it.

Swallowing a sob at the memory of dad I hand Fire her red earring and without a word she puts it in her right ear.

I put my turquoise colored one in my left ear and say quietly "Dad…"

She sighs "I know." She pauses a second. "Do you think he would be proud of us?"

I have to think for a second then I reply. "Yes. I hope at least." She nods her eyes rimmed with sadness.

Our father died trying to start a rebellion. He didn't even manage to get one person on his side before the Capitol killed him. Of course the official story is that he died in an industrial accident. That's even what mom thinks. But I and Fire know better.

We had accidently overheard him talking to someone and later Fire confronted him for me because I couldn't work up the urge to do it. He told us but made us swear not to tell anyone. We have kept his secret even now.

I flash back to the present by Fire gently tugging on my hand. I glance up at her and she says quietly "Come on. Let's go eat." I nod and follow after her the sudden love for my twin threatening to overwhelm me.

(Fire's P.O.V)

I walk down the stairs my brother's hand in mind and I smile. This is how it's supposed to be, me and Turk together partners in crime. Some kids may mock us for being so close but they're just jealous. They don't have a twin who they know so well they can finish each other's sentences for them. Someone they would gladly die for.

I don't have a boyfriend and quite frankly don't want one. None of the guys in the district really like me. Well there is one boy who I'm friends with but he's more interested in dating Turk than me. I think he's really nice and we're pretty good friends but I think he creeps Turk out a little.

Oh well. To each their own I suppose. I scratch Hope's head as we walk down the stairs. I love animals. And pretty things. I would love to see the Capitol but with what it would cost me I don't consider it to be worth it. I guess seeing it on the TV is enough even though the games disgust me.

Mom wraps us both in a huge hug when we get downstairs. I pull back and look at her face and it's clear she's both worried and has been crying. "Don't worry mom." I say with false bravo.

Turk nods beside me and I can tell he doesn't know what to say so I elbow him. "Right Turk?"

He clears his throat and nods quickly "Er right."

Mom smiles "I know. Even if one of you gets reaped I'm sure you could make it out. Now come eat your oatmeal."

We both nod quickly and walk over sitting down at the table.

(Turk's P.O.V)

I wolf down my oatmeal so I don't have to taste it. I know I need to be grateful for any food but really it's disgusting. I finish eating in about five seconds and the second I do I look up.

Mom has brought in outfits for both of us. I wrinkle my nose slightly at the slightly dull green cotton shirt and black pants she picked out for me. But since I know mom is already stressed out I just thank her and head upstairs to change.

Once I have the clothes on, I look in the mirror and run a comb through my dirty blond hair with the sapphire streaks in it. Me and fire both got streaks in our hair to represent the others name so that everyone would know we were related. If they didn't guess that is.

I walk outside of the bathroom petting Smoke as he appears at my side. I head back into the kitchen where Fire is now dressed as well. Mom put her in a ruffled bright orange dress. I hide a smile. "Ready for the reapings?"

She nods and we both hug mom.

Then we head out the door.

(Fire's P.O.V)

The second me and Turk are away from the house two girls stand in front of us. Oh great trouble.

"Hey look it's the two babies." One sneers.

I roll my eyes. "Is that the best you have?" Turk has stepped behind me and is letting me handle it because that's what I'm best at.

The other one sneers "Maybe one of you will get reaped then we only have to deal with one." She pushes Turk against the wall. "And of course, if one is down the other will fall."

In a spilt second I grab her by the back of her shirt and have her pinned to the wall of a house. Turk grabs my arm. "Let's go." I nod and release her still brimming with rage and follow him to the square.

We check in and I squeeze his hand before we head to our separate sides. I daydream in my head of nothing in particular during the treaty of treason as it disgusts me. Then I swallow as the lady walks over to the reaping bowl and puts her hand in it.

"Saphire Skyfort."

I swallow fighting back tears and walk to the stage. I can see the look on the girl's face who said she hoped I got reaped and I can tell she wants to take it back. Maybe I can win and come home.

(Turk's P.O.V)

Horror runs through me as Fire walks up. I start planning what to say at the goodbyes how to convince her to come home so I don't have to be alone. Only now do I realize how much I rely on my sister. Then it happens. The moment that shocks everyone. She reaches for the boy's name.

"Turquoise Skyfort."

On shaking legs I walk up to the stage. One of us will die. I hear mother scream then start sobbing. She yells "No! You can't have them!" Then she launches herself on a peacekeeper sobbing all the while.

Everyone in the district is just standing there shocked. The escort clears her throat. "Well, Well, Well isn't that something?" she says in a breathy way clearly trying to fix thing. "Twin tributes. What a surprise. Well let's have a round of applause for this year's district eight tributes "Saphire Skyfort and Turquoise Skyfort."

Not a single person claps everyone is just staring in horror. Most know us. The twins always together in life and now even in death. Our mother has calmed down and is now just sobbing. She lifts our hands in the air and I let her still in shock.

Wow it's scary how much I enjoyed writing that. Does that make me evil? Don't answer that. Anyhow R&R!
