This is the first chapter I've uploaded since this got deleted -_- so hope you like it, please leave a review, I'm missing my reviews :( Please? Thank you xx

Ray Lockhearst (District 7)

My Mum put the food on the oven, "We will have that when we get back, thanks Terra," she smiled at my sister who was stood at the door in her light blue dress. Terra goes hunting at night to get food for us, if she was caught she would be more than likely be killed but Terra is sneaky and has never even come close to being caught.

"If we get back," I added and looked to the floor; we were both in for tesserae this year. Terra rolled her eyes and gave me a smile.

"We will get back," she said positively, she moved her black hair out of her face; "we should get going" she smiled.

As a family we walked towards the square and when we arrived I stood with the fifteen year olds and Terra with the seventeen year olds. A friend of mine called Gideon came and stood next to me, he gave me a quick "Hello," before the Mayor began her long speech about the dark days and the second rebellion and how, because of this girl on fire the games are even more punishing, or at least try to be. Finally the District 7 escort strutted her way on stage, her head held high.

"Well I know how truly excited you all are!" she flung her long white hair over her shoulder and back. Wow Capitol people were weird. "Ladies first", she picked a name out of the reaping ball but kept her hand in to add 'suspense' "Terra Lockhearst", I felt my face go pale and it was as if the whole world paused for a moment, not Terra! I looked over to her just in time to see the girl stood behind her give her a push forward. She was led to the stage by the peacekeepers.

If only I was a girl, if only volunteering wasn't banned! Gideon placed a hand on my shoulder but that wasn't going to help because the next name to be read out was "Gideon Aspen," his hand dropped and I saw him become completely speechless.

I heard someone swearing in anger from behind and saw Gideon's older brother Jackson being restrained by the peacekeepers. Other peacekeepers came for Gideon and he stepped out. "Don't go with them!" Jackson yelled at him, but he went, he didn't have a choice. I knew how Jackson was feeling but unlike him, I couldn't even move my feet. I looked towards Terra who gave me a comforting smile. She can do this, she can win; I know she can.

Octa's Bestfriend (District 8)

I giggled with my best friends Octa and Francois as we walked merrily down the street to the square; we had been best friends for such a long time now. "If any of us get reaped we are so winning right?" Octa joked.

"You will win Octa, you're lucky enough to," I laughed back. It was true; Octa must be one of the luckiest girls ever! She gets an A without studying; wins jackpots 3 times in a row, she is unbelievable. She blushed slightly and we laughed at her. A boy who was about two years younger knocked into Francois, she turned around to yell at him but when she realised it was just Cynara Thistle, the thirteen year old, good lucking jerk from school; she just gave him an evil look and turned away.

I raised my eyebrows at her and she shrugged.

When we arrived at the square it was almost entirely full, we headed to our place in the fifteen year old section just in time for the mayors speech. After the whole history lesson the purple escort Angus made his way on stage.

"Good luck everyone, Ladies first," he smiled and walked over to the reaping bowl.

He fished his hand around for a while until he finally touched one he was happy with; he pulled it out and read "Octa Villuck." That's it; her bad luck must have run out. I turned to her; she looked like she was in shock. She stepped out and made her way to the stage. She shook Angus' hand before he wandered over to the male tribute bowl.

"Our male tribute is….Cynara Thistle." Great, not only does she have to go into the games and most likely die but she has to spend time with that jerk. Perfect.

Laurel's Grandmother (District 9)

"You'll be fine," I comforted my grand-daughter, she was so young and innocent; what the capitol was doing to such young children was truly cruel. Laurel was extremely frightened. Her older brother, Cam, brought her into a hug. He had been through the reapings himself and knew how scary they were. The two of them were orphans and only had myself as a guardian.

"Would you like to take your place" a peacekeeper came and told Laurel, she nodded and made her way to the thirteen's section.

After the mayor's speech Blossom, the District 9 escort wandered on stage and smiled, "Well then, not to keep you waiting but this year is going to be the best year yet! I can just see it, and two of you lucky kids can be a part of it." More like unlucky kids if you ask me, how I hated the escorts. "Ladies first," she trotted over to the girls reaping bowl. "Laurel Keene." I felt Cam's hand hold onto mine as if I was about to run for her, but I wouldn't I couldn't move.

She made her way to the stage, she looked so scared. By the time she made it to the stage Blossom was already over at the boys reaping bowl, he reached in and grabbed one out, "Nat Damian." A boy the same age as Laurel stepped out, he walked up to the stage without showing any fear; he was a small boy who always hung around with the girls. He was a sweet boy and somehow I hope that he and Laurel could form an alliance. A tear ran down my cheek as Cam loosened his grip on my hand.
