Axel Finch POV

I use my spanner to tighten the wheels of the train carriage. I push my sweaty blonde hair out of my face. I walk over to the corner of the giant garage and hit the button to bring the elevated carriage back to the surface of the tracks. I pull the carriage behind that so they interlocked and put in the safety screws. There that should do it, I think to myself. I pass by the front office to give Morris, my ancient boss, the keys to my working garage. Morris owns District 6's 'Speed of Light' company. We sell and manufacture trains since transportation is own industry. I walk outside the front door to the nice cool breeze of an eventful day.

I arrive home to see Rubic and mum. Rubic is my 9-year-old sister who loves to mess around and have fun with me. When I walked in mum was busy making Rubes some pumpkin soup for lunch. I sit down at the table and talk to Rubes. She is having so much fun playing with her spoon and balancing it on her nose. Mum walks over and places down a little bowl filled with hot soup for her. I try not to meet her eyes. My mum and I don't have the best relationship you could say.

'Axel, Rubic needs to eat her lunch so could you please leave her to be,' mum asks me.

'She can eat later we are just having some fun mum,'

'Axel, now she is hungry and needs to have her nap. Now stop being such a dick and leave her along. Ever since dad left you have been telling me what to do. I wonder why no one likes you at work and school but now I know don't I!' That is what pushed me over the edge. I got up from my chair and opened the draws to the kitchen utensils and equipment. I pull out a knife and turn to face my mother, walking slowly towards her. She freezes up and starts to panic with fear. I lean over her so she is up against the wall the weapon poised in my right hand. My mother is screaming and trying to block her face and talk me out of it. I see Rubic out of my peripheral vision tears running down her face telling me to leave mummy alone. I am just about to strike when I feel my leg being tugged and my mind goes blank.

I look around the room without a clue in my mind notice my mother and sister are both very upset. All I remember is my mum putting soup down on the table. Then it clicks my KPD. It's started ever since dad, well disappeared and I can get rid of it or control it. It stands for Killer Physco Disorder. When I get really angry or protected over something I just kill that person without knowing and it has happened more than once. I feel bad for scaring them so I decide to practice for the games and get some fresh air.

I find my stash hidden under the house and start throwing. I find the trees with the giant trunks and and cut them down for firewood and to get my anger out. I stand there for less than an hour launching the axes into the trees almost every single time it chips it or stays on. Breaking my thoughts I hear the rumble of the town bells calling the children to be picked for death.

Leah Saturn POV

'Dear Reader,

Today was not the greatest days. I saw my parents this morning at the markets. I was going to get some fish for lunch and they were ahead of me in line. I accidently dropped the money I had found that I was going to use to pay for it. I didn't realize until later that my parents picked it up, ignored me, left and didn't give it back. I don't live with my parents anymore. I'm supposed to legally but I ran away with Marius. It was when I was 12 we had a big fight and that night when I went to bed I ran away and met up with the man of my dreams. My parents never forgave and I don't think they ever will. Marius is my reason of living, my inspiration and true love. I know one day I will need something better than an alleyway and abandoned shed but for now it is good enough. Sweet dreams and we shall see what happens tomorrow with the Hunger Games.

Goodnight.' I sit by the fire, warming me and read over my segment of writing for the day. I close the rugged old book and lay down on Marius's shoulder who is already asleep.

I wake up to the chatter of the birds tweeting each morning at the time of daylight. It's like my own alarm to tell me to wake up and get the day's needs and belongings before the streets are filled with people and peacekeepers. I rise from the ground and put on a jacket. I creak open the shed door slipping away to leave my boyfriend to sleep.

I arrive at the main street, which is usually filled with stalls and people, but at this time only one store is open and that is the most important in the morning. The bakery.

I slip around the corner to find Mr. McCartney baking the bread like every other morning to make a living. While he kneads the dough to put into the oven I slip around the back to find yesterdays fresh and fine leftovers and crates filled with ingredients. I picked out the hot cross buns, a few loaves of bread, a cake and my favourite the mini muffins. I also pick up a few staple ingredients incase in an emergency we need to make it our self. Happy with my findings I return back to what I call home.

As I open the shed door Marius has just risen from his slumber he seems happy as I sit down next to him and give him a ration for the morning. I eat half a hot cross bun and a chunk of the cake before I leave.

I hear a bit of loud behaviour and decide to go and take a look what's happening. I climb up a tree next to the shed and when I get to the right height I leap onto the roof. I look around and see a growing group of people around the Justice Building. Then I remembered, reaping day. How could I forget the most nerve-racking day of the whole year where every single child is scared out of their boots. It must be about time to start the presentation and annual ceremony so I better get going. I quickly tell Mar the news and we manage to get changed and run out the back door as the Peacekeepers come knocking.

Axel Finch POV

The District is busy as we are lined up in age groups and cut off from our families. All of our lives stop as we stand for the afternoon to hear the verdict. I wait anxiously as kids beside me chat about stuff like everything is normal even though in less than an hour they could be sentenced to probable death. The mayor does his speech, the same every year, and then Tristan Blanche, the escort comes to the stage. Everyone knows his mother, as she was one of the many that were hanged for allowing two victors to arise from the 74th Hunger Games. Tristan from there has somehow redeemed himself and became one of the Capitol's suck-ups and favourites. He mumbles into the microphone and speaks about how wonderful the Capitol is to supply us entertainment and giving us the kind opportunity to be famous and known to all of Panem.

'Grls,' he says almost inaudible.

He almost whispers the name in the microphone, ' Leah Saturn.' A girl dressed in ragged clothes holds her head in the air and walks to the stage with strength.

'Bys,' Tristan says.

Then the name kills me as I hear it, it is me. Axel Finch. I turn my head to face the stage and ignore all the looks and gasps. I keep a straight face as I walk up the steps and shake Leah's hand.

'Thank you District, um what District is this?' Tristan asks.

'SIX!' the female tribute shouts at him and we both know this is going to be a long road.

I tap my feet continuously wondering if my mum and little sister will visit me before I leave especially because of this morning's incident. Rubic comes flying at me with open arms and nearly tackles me to the ground. Mum walks in behind her with her hands in her face crying. Rubic passes me a necklace with a bolt in it. She says Morris wanted me to have it. We don't have much time and we hardly get to say goodbye as the Peacekeepers drag my family away from me, killing my sole.

Leah Saturn POV

We just arrive in time as the oldest and fattest mentor of all time makes his way to speak. It's Tristan Blanche the long-beard, boring and quiet man. I give Mar the biggest hug and sneak into the 16-year-old section. Now for the moment of truth as he choose one unlucky girls name.

'Leah Saturn,' I hear. My ears erupt and a million thoughts go through my mind. I keep my head high and get to that stage as fast as I can to get it over with. My parents are probably watching and laughing and my thoughts come true as I look into the back row of parents. Those two ugly, mean people. How dare they call them parents. I wish they were in the Hunger Games and then I could watch them crumble and get tortured to death. Now it's the boy's turn.

'Axel Finch,' is called. A tall, masculine man with fair skin is called to be the tribute. I follow him with my eyes to the stage and we shake hands to wish each other luck. As Mr. Blanche finishes he thanks the District for coming but doesn't even now where he is, what a bitch.

All I think of is Marius and wait for him to come through those doors. He comes through and starts talking to me straight away.

'You need to know that I love you with all my heart and I will never forget you no matter what happens. Also I will sell of all my stuff so I can get you the sponsor gift and if you ever really need something say 'shed buddy' and I will know the time is right. You need to try your hardest so you can come ba-' he is cut of as the door slams shut and he is disappeared from me for the next few weeks. Tears roll down my face and I know I will try hard for him and I will come back.
