District 4's reaping

Saffiron Caraway age 16 POV

"I am your mother whether you like it or not and you will do as I say" my mother screamed at me.

"I'm going to volunteer and I don't care if you don't want me to!" I shot back.

"You better watch that tongue of yours Saffiron" she continued to scream in my face

"And you better watch some how to be pretty videos on the internet."

Everything happened so fast as soon as the words left my mouth my mom pinned me against the wall plugging up my windpipe making it hard to breath my heart was beginning to slow down. I'm choking back tears as i'm loosing all feeling in my throat.

"What do you think your doing to our little girl?" thank goodness my dad came right in time.

"Um nothing just talking to her." she said letting go of my throat and letting me back to the ground.

"No she wasn't, she was trying to kill me!" I yelled hoping my father believed me.

But of course he thinks that mother is an innocent angel. But really she's a friend of the devil all she needs are some red horns and a red tail and they could be twins. I'm twirling my ring around my finger. this ring is going to be my district token when i go into the games it is just beautiful its sterling silver with district four's seal imprinted on the front.

Me, dad, and mom all walk to the reaping, and I was trying really hard not to scream with excitement when we got there!


Killan Blade age 17 POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

I atempt to hit my alarm clock but my hand hit something else instead. I look to my worry and I see that I had hit my picture of Sabine. The most recent picture of her before her accident. Oh how I long for her presence, to see her sweet face once again I didn't even get to say goodbye. Who knew that a canoe could be so unstable. I look at my engagement ring that had been made for Sabina. Yeah I know what you're thinking seventeen is a little young for marriage but I was in complete love with her.

I looked at the photo the glass broken into jagged pieces all of over the floor of my bedroom. I go grab my clothes for the reaping my desert sand color of dress pants and white button up dress shirt. I go into the bathroom and spike up my hair collect all the pieces of the broken glass and go find mom and dad.

"Mom is there anyway we can fix this picture of Sabine?" I asked handing her the picture.

"Oh sweetie I don't think we can, it looks pretty beaten up" ." she said pushing a piece of my strawberry blond hair behind my ear.

"We don't have anytime Killan we have to go to the reaping." my dad says

This is one of the only moments where I think my family actually cares about me you see my dad is the mayor so I have always been looked over and it seems as if nobody cares about me until today. Today is the reaping where two district four citizens along with twenty-two other tributes from the other eleven districts are sent into the arena to fight to the death and only one comes out.


Saffiron Caraway's POV

As soon I got to the town square I exploded of how excited I am to be volunteering when our escort Charlotte started talking about the wonders of out district.

"I am so happy that I get to be the escort for this wonderful district unlike the others" Charlotte said with a wink of her eye

"Now are we ready to find out who are tributes are?"

Everybody screams as loud as they can and i'm just guessing that they do.

"Okay then lets get started ladies first, and the lucky lady is... Lillian Frot.

I have know idea who this girl is but she looks very young and besides I deserve to be in the games not her!

"I volunteer" I yell

"It seems like someone wants to volunteer."

"What's you name volunteer?"

"Saffiron Caraway!" I say with such effort


Killan Blade's POV

Saffiron Caraway, hmm she looks really mean and viscous I would hate to get into her way Charlotte makes her way to the boy's bowl.

"Now for the boys."

I just look at Saffiron on stage when everybody gasps its probably one of those cruel kids that they're all shocked about but then it hits me mayors son and if I wasn't convinced enough one of those kids that I thought it was began to push me up onto the stage and now I get it I've been reaped.

"I'm going into that arena and i'm not coming out"

okay so this is chapter four as you can tell and i hope you enjoyed writing it i might even get another chapter out.
