Charlize Valley Summers POV

It's getting late, but, there is a promising kill nearby. I've been tracking this deer for well over an hour now, shooting any birds or squirrels that I find on my way, but the idea of venison for dinner is making my stomach growl in approval. I can even smell it, I just don't know where it is. I get my arrow ready, slotting the end of it to the string of the bow and pull back, keeping an eye out for any movement. I wait for two minutes before there is a slight rustle from a bush approximately five metres to my left. I whirl round and let go of the rope, the arrow goes whistling through the air before the beautiful thunk of it hitting its target is heard.

"Score!" I whisper, then go to search through the bush, there, lying cold dead is a young deer. It's eyes wide open, startled. I smile at the small victory; we'll be eating like royalty tonight!

I don't actually like killing, or violence. I would never have started hunting if I didn't absolutely need to. I've had to do it since I was twelve as my family was extremely poor, and although our money situation has gotten slightly better over the past few years, I still go out to provide for us, apparently the money I get from babysitting isn't enough to provide mine and my brother and sisters share in the household.

I clear up some of the blood from the wound of the arrow, but overall it was a clean shot. Then I proceed to tie the deer's legs together and sling the heavy load over my back. I struggle out of the forest and then slide the deer in the gap in the fence, which is now alive with electricity, unfortunately the electricity was switched on pretty much twenty three out of twenty four hours of the day. I spend the hour when it's off making a big enough hole to be able to slide through before or after hunting without getting electrocuted. I slide under after the deer and sling it over my back again.

Unfortunately because I have a deer and three squirrels slung over my back I have to take the long route home, avoiding the main streets that are littered with peacekeepers at this time of year, instead travelling along the alleyways and behind big factory buildings. I turn the corner to my home and instantly whip back round, and crouch in the shadows. In front of my house I can hear my Uncle and a peacekeeper talking.

"So you are sure she will be home soon?" The peacekeeper says in a monotone.

"Positive, she's often out with her friends until now!" I hear my Uncle reply, I must say, he's very convincing.

"So the rumours of her hunting are false?"

My uncle laughs and says "Charlize? Honestly, she wouldn't hurt a fly. She doesn't even know how to use any hunting equipment!"

The peacekeeper nods, convinced. "Alright then, good evening Mr Summers, see you at reaping tomorrow." Then he turns an walk away, after a couple of minutes I turn my head back round the corner and see my uncle staring right at me.

"Come on you nuisance! Get in!" He whispers. He seems in good spirits anyway so I sprint from the shadow of the building to my front door, my uncle slams the door behind him.

"That's the third time this month, honestly, you're going to get caught one of these days!" He says, shaking his head. "If you're not careful you may end up like your mother!"

I'm taken aback and I think he is too, I can instantly feel the anger swelling up.

"I'm sorry! That wasn't meant to come out like that…" He said almost as soon as he finished his last words.

"You know what; don't ever ask me to hunt again…" I say and slam the deer down on the kitchen table, I leave the room and my uncle begins to butcher it, it's late so we'll probably just have the squirrels for dinner, which is way better then soup so I'm pretty happy. I may be angry at my Uncle, but I'll get over it by the morning .

My mother had been killed by peacekeepers when I was eleven and my father was dead before I was even born. I had grown up in District 1 with my mother and my brother and sister, we had a great life and just like any other District 1 I had been training for the games since I was four, despite the fact that I'd never actually agree to be a part of them. Though my mother left us to return to her home district, and when the peacekeepers found out they hunted her down. After that we got moved to District 6, to the closest family member, Janus Summers, my uncle.

Janus had never had a wife nor kids of his own, so he welcomed us as a way to stop a lonely lifestyle, although he made me hunt to provide food for us all, he has been a kind man to us, and would never betray us.

Ever since I moved to District 6 it's been a mixed bag, I'm quite an optimistic person so it's been quite easy making friends, but there are some bitter people who dislike me due to me being previously from District 1. I don't know why, people say it's because they view District 1 as a strong, perfect, spoilt and violent District, which can be very true in some cases.

Once we've eaten dinner, I tuck my brother and sister in, Holly and Collin; there twins and they're nine years of age. I'm just lucky that they haven't reached the awful age when reaping begins, they still have a chance for things to change and the games to stop, but I don't see why that might happen. Maybe another rebellion? I doubt it.

Blaise Tanner POV

"So, we've been getting more and more recruits for the protest, it will happen until next year's reaping, though. We just need to get the weapons, and the correct approach to finalise it."

"Aye, sounds good to me!" I shout above the murmuring from the others at the meeting.

The meetings of the rebels take place every two weeks, a different location every time, this time thirty of us were squeezed into the Norman household, where one of my best friends, Lloyd, lived, in fact, all of my friends are part of the rebels, but my father and mother both run the meetings, there the heads of the rebels of this district and even get to go meet other district members once a year to discuss plans.

"You four!" My mother calls to Marc, Maddi, Lloyd and I, we go over to her and the room silences, everyone curious as to what are role will be. "You four will get to go into the centre tomorrow, you know that the rest of us can't go in as they aren't letting adults into the actual square anymore to watch the reaping, so you will search around, they have the same layout every year, try to find peacekeeper placements and cameras, we need to know the most effective places to file in."

All four of us nod, we're willing to help the rebels as much as we can.

"Stick in pairs, just in case." She says a little quieter. Then she turns away from us and back to addressing the small group.

"Okay, we'll meet again in two weeks, our house, where we'll start mapping out a route, and start thinking of smaller ways to help our district this year. Just think, this time next year we're going to make a difference!" When she says all this the group cheer and whoop.

The meeting clears up quickly and people are filing out of the house, returning to their homes. My parents say a quick thank you to the Normans before we leave and return home. As soon as I get in my parents herd me to my room, saying I need plenty of sleep for my 'mission' tomorrow. I lay in bed with sleep not coming to me despite my busy day. Every meeting day was busy, I was sent on all kinds of wild goose chases trying to get information from people and put together the meeting points of interest.

I've been involved in rebel work practically since I could speak, sometimes as message couriers and sometimes as distractions. All in all we seem to have the most successful rebel group in all the districts as we have actually made some kind of difference, we've managed to work our way into having half the amount of peacekeepers, so it's easier to carry out riots and any kind of rebel activity.

The rebels started here when my auntie had died in the hunger games, then my grandparents had got it all started, when they got too old to be able to get around they passed leadership down to my parents. It comes in handy, my oldest sister, Dawn, was saved by a stroke of luck when a girl had volunteered in her place. Later she found out that the girl was also a rebel to, and thought it was only right to save the leaders daughters. Unfortunately she wasn't victor in the games.

My aim as a rebel is to stop the games before my youngest sister; Dustin becomes a victim of reaping. Unfortunately we haven't been able to stop them before Delilah, my other sister, started taking part in the reaping but she's been safe so far. That's the same with me, I've been safe all these years and this year is my last. After this reaping I can return to my work of being a mechanic, and then I'll eventually be head of the rebels alongside Dawn.

I think long and hard and eventually, surprisingly sleep comes.

Charlize Valley Summers POV

Waking up on reaping morning is never a pleasant experience, I stay in a sullen mood all morning, even when I realise my uncles done a special breakfast for me. My mood is on a real low when there's a knock on the door. I open it to reveal Jan.

Jan Ceaser is my boyfriend, every year we walk down to reaping together and have done so since we were twelve, six years ago. Now it was our last reaping, and the capitol had for some reason banned family from coming into the reaping zone, only for this district. So we were going alone, meeting my best friends, Lola and Rakkus down at the centre. Even if I was an optimistic person reaping had a negative effect on me, but Jan cheered me up instantly, even if he wasn't in a great mood himself.

"I'm worried I'm going to get picked this year." I blurt out without thinking, Jan took my hand.

"You're not going to get picked, ok, stop worrying!" He stopped and with his other hand reaches into his pocket, withdrawing my necklace he gave me for our two year anniversary when we were fourteen. It is beautiful with a small heart that's got his name engraved on it. "I saw this in your hallway and picked it up, you always wear it and I thought you might have been so nervous you forgot."

"Aw Jan, thank you so much! I must have, that thing always makes me feel better." I smile and let him tie it round my neck, we walk the rest of the way together in comfortable silence.

When we get there Lola is already shaking violently with nerves. That's just her though, she gets nervous about almost everything and reaping is the worst of it. I go over and pat her shoulder, reassuring her how it's all going to be alright. Things are already getting started on the stage but I'm too busy comforting Lola to actually pay attention, but it was more than likely the normal Capitol rubbish.

Suddenly I can feel everyone's eyes on me, even Lola's, I look around as people start stepping away from me, singling me out from the crowd.

"Charlize Summers? Charlize?" I hear the call of the man on stage.

It suddenly hits me. I feel stunned as I walk up to the stage, not looking back at my friends. After only a few moments I calmly accept my fate, I change my posture and walk up to the stage more bravely. I even put a small smile to the others around me, who are looking grim, shouldn't they look relieved?

"Are there any volunteers?" The man calls from my side once I'm stood on the stage, I look out to Jan who is… crying? I'd never seen him cry before, I meet his eyes and smile.

There's silence, no one volunteers.

I try to stay positive about it, even though there's not a lot to be positive about.

Blaise Tanner POV

I'm snooping around the sides of the stage with Maddi, noting down the various peacekeeper and camera locations, when the girl is called. I pause momentarily and look at the girl. She is my age, I recognise her from classes when we used to go to school, she has strawberry blonde hair that's woven into a French braid that reaches just past her waist and she's very pale. Hugely different to my dark brown curly hair and tanned skin.

I quickly get back to returning to my work, only vaguely paying attention to my surroundings.

"Okay and now onto the males!" A man shouts from the stage. I note down the structure of the stage, for capitol work it's quite flimsy for easy packing up, appears to be made of wood apart from the metal top. There's also eight peacekeepers along stage, alongside three capitol people at the back, and then there's the representative at the front, hey, the slips of paper look flammable, if we could somehow get…

"Blaise Tanner!"

Ah crap.

I hand my notepad to Maddi before running into the midst of the crowd, people don't notice me till I'm there.

"Move then!" I grimace and people part so I have an easy route to the stage. I storm up the steps and glare and the representative who appears to cower. I then continue through to my place and just stare into space, blocking out the rest of the reaping and only realise it's over when I get nudged by a peacekeeper, who escorts me to the nearby building.

Thanks like always for reading and reviewing!
