Right, the Pov's are quite short for this one. I really wanted to fit in the whole Question thing at the end, I will expand on these characters at a later point, anyway I had to write about what Snow and memebers of the capitol was thinking, this was a great place to. Hope this is ok, please review; I miss my reviews :( xx
Kelly Jane (District 10 escort)
My heals clicked against the wooden floor; urgh, soft wood. The mayor came into view and I quickly made my face look somewhat pleased instead of disgusted. It wasn't their fault that the district was so poor. Couldn't the capitol at least invest in them and get some better flooring? "Good morning Meg," the Mayor nodded towards me, I nodded my head back at him.
The children began slowly filling the square, some looked so scared; bless them. I adjusted my lilac wig and headed to my seat.
After the square was pretty much filled and there were just a few late comers arriving the mayor stood up to do his excellent speech on the dark days. He showed the ruins of District 13 and what the ruins did look like in 12 until the capitol, through the kindness of our hearts, fixed it up to be even more spectacular than before.
Before I knew it; it was my turn. "Wasn't that a great speech?" No one answered so I just continued, "Well then, it is time to find out which young girl and boy will represent District 10 in the fifth Quarter Quell, how exciting? Ladies first" I walked over to the girls reaping bowl; I picked one out and unfolded it. "Tansy Hepperly!" A girl from the sixteen year old section stepped out; she didn't seem too scared. She had gorgeous long, brown, wavy hair and green eyes.
Without waiting for her to make it onto the stage I walked to the boy's reaping bowl, "and the male tribute is...Twig Spring!" A large, well-fed and muscular boy stepped out of the eighteen year old section. Well; don't we have good tributes this year, I can't wait for the games to begin!
President Daiute
The reapings have turned out pretty good so far, they were almost over, just two more left then it's the rhetorical question that goes out to the capitol's people.
I watched as the people of District 11 gathered in the square; some children were crying; I snigger. It was their own fault for starting a rebellion; twice.
Trusty Dai walks on the stage and he talks about the rebellions and shows the same old video, wow I love that video.
The first tribute reaped was called 'Maxi Jacklebee' a small, innocent looking 12 year old girl, she looked so panicked; some people of the capitol may have felt sorry for this young girl; not me.
Then the boy was called 'Jace Trickle' a muscular looking 17 year old with a brilliant smile; he would surely get many lady fans in the capitol, the muscular ones always did.
I wonder how well these tributes will do this year. I'm not too sure about Maxi but I think Jace may have a good chance.
Dixie Stone ( Capitol Viewer)
My mum screamed for myself and my sister to get a move on; it was almost our turn, we were about to be asked whether or not any of us wished to volunteer, no one would; of course.
"One minute!" I yelled back, I really wanted to watch the District 12 reapings, the District of which that Katniss girl came from.
"We really should be going" my sister urged me.
"And the District 12 female tribute is….Adena Heliconia" a sixteen year old girl stepped out; she had black hair tied back, olive skin and was extremely skinny, District 12 was the poorest District. The male escort asked the girl how she was, the girl couldn't answer; she looked like she was about to faint.
Without waiting any longer for an answer the man made his way to the boy's reaping bowl, "and the Male tribute is…Jai Cobat" an extremely good looking boy of 17, wow.
"Ok let's hurry it up Dixie," my sister ordered, why was she ordering me? Last I checked I was the older sister; Floss was annoying this way.
Floss Stone
When we arrived at the hunger games hall; as many people called it, it was already packed full of people. Up on the wall were the faces of all of the tributes that had been reaped. I quickly scanned them, the boy from one whose grandfather broke down and wept; the rich girl from 2, the 12 year old girl whose sister pleaded for us to volunteer, the cat like girl from 7. Twig; the large muscular guy from 10; then the small girl from 11.
"Hello Hunny; what age?" a woman asked me; I looked at her in confusion before realising what she said.
"Oh, sixteen" she pointed out the area were the sixteen year olds were stood. My head went back to the tributes faces; so many were so young, so vulnerable, and so weak. The girl from 6 seemed to look at me with pleading eyes, I could help her.
I shook this thought away straight away, what was I thinking? I can't put my life on the line like that. But maybe the games would become less cruel, no, they wouldn't I would just get myself killed.
President Daiute welcomed us and began showing us small clips of the reapings. When it came to the young girl I felt a tear slide down my eye; was I really just being a coward? I shook my head and wiped away the tear.
"Well then; does anyone wish to volunteer?" Snow asked; I looked up at the girls face once again. No one was answering, of course they weren't. Who in their right mind would make themselves go into such games when they had the chance not too?
"I VOLUNTEER!" I screamed. As soon as it left my lips I half regretted it. I had to do this though; I have to save that girl. I marched up to the stage, "I volunteer" I breathed. I looked at my sister; her jaw was wide open. Tears were in my mother's eyes.
"Well then; that's a surprise, erm, what's your name?" Snow asked me.
"Floss Stone" I answered "I'm sixteen years old and would like to volunteer as District 6 girl" I said, I was trying to act brave; I was failing. I've saved a life, I know I have. I won't win the games but do I want to? If they lost a member of the capitol would they rethink? I doubt it but it's worth the try.
Dolly (District 6)
"I can't do this" I cried to my sister and she cuddled me close. She knew I couldn't either but she didn't say so; this would be the last time I saw my sister.
There was a loud knock on the door and two peacekeepers walked in; I assumed it was to take my mum and sister away. That was until he said, "Someone has volunteered to take your place; you may leave."
What? Someone had volunteered? I looked at my sister in disbelief; she laughed and gave me another hug, she swung me around the room.
"Thank you!" she screamed, I laughed and she placed me down. Thank you unknown stranger.
You saved my life.
Again; sorry about it being so short, I will make sure to write about these in the train/ in the capitol and all of that so you can get to know them, there are other tribites I need to do that with, some which are really cool characters but you only really know name and age :) Please review, xx
