District 5 reaping

Sally pleasant age 15 POV

"Sally dear breakfast" my mother called from downstairs.

I woke up to the sound of my mothers sweet voice. I can smell the scent of blueberry muffins freshly made by my brother Mel. I go to my dresser and select a beautiful mint green dress and a white cardigan and matching white slip-on's I to the bathroom and grab a brush and comb and tried to tame my long dark brown curly hair.

I walked down our creaky wood stairs the fourth indeed creaked as loud as a door slamming in the quiet library.

"There she is my pride and joy" my dad says with his friendly grin.

"Why so dressed up?" my brother asks motioning towards my dress.

"Well it's reaping day gotta dress you best"

"Well you look at little too dressed up." Mel said with a growl

"Don't worry Mel I'll be fine, I gotta go meet Daisy for the reaping."


Theo Pastpreal age 14 POV

I woke up to the sound of my super annoying sisters screaming at each other. Chansey and Rachael, identical twins yelling over a stupid hairbrush waking me up. I slowly drag myself out of bed wishing this day would never o cure. Today... the reaping the day where children's spirits are crushed if they get picked from a large amount of people to be forced into the deadly games.

"Give me my hairbrush!" I hear Chansey screaming at Rachael.

"It's my hairbrush!" Rachael shot back

I march down the steps walk straight up to my sister Chansey and yank the hairbrush right out of her tiny hand.

"Here you go Rachael" I said handing her the brush.

"Why are you siding with her?"

I turned around to see my older brother and sister Gordon and Annebeth standing in the doorway.

"Because the brush says Rachael on the back." I said showing her the brush.

"Oh okay then well we should get going to the reaping lets go everybody."


Sally pleasant's POV

It seems as if I got to the reaping a little late because the mentor was already walking over to the girls bowl. She reads the name out loud then its as if the world froze for a moment leaving me shocked a tear rolls down the side of my cheek the name she called was mine.

"Sally Pleasant where are you darling?"

I can't tell if that's worry or sarcasm in her voice.

"Go go on" a voice growls at me from behind before I know it I'm being pushed to the stage by a rotten fifteen year old like myself i want to wake up and hope this was all a dream.


Theo Pastpreal's POV

The girl standing on the stage looks about a year older than me. Her mint green dress flowing in the wind her dark brown locks swept across her left eye she reminds me of a deer walking straight into a hunter I'm so sorry for this young girl.

Our escort makes her way to the boys now she pulls out out a name and reads it aloud

"Theo Pastpreal"

I'm shocked I'm scared how could this happen? I was living in the perfect world with sister that got on my nerves and a mom that had just gotten better from her horrible illness she had for about 3 months. I walk up to the stage and take my spot next to the girl I shake her hand and I am thinking to myself why me?

The worst thing happened...

I was reaped.

I am so sorry this chapter took longer to get out I was very busy but I couldn't let you guys down so I did another chapter sorry it's so short it was really hard to get into these characters.
