Not much reviews I received but here's the goodbyes and a special appearance from District 13 as they view the footage.
Brooklyn Velvet (18,1)
I wasn't pleased that my family came to see me. All I wanted is to be in the Capitol and enjoy the luxuries the Capitol has.
"What do you want?" I hissed, not blinking an eye.
"Brooklyn, we came to wish you good luck," Brooke whispered.
I let out a laugh that sounded ridiculous, "Luck who needs luck. I already know I'm going to win these games."
And that was what turned them away and I was left alone.
Alexis Rain (16,1)
"Dad, I'm not going to win these games," I told him before his face turned red.
"What have you been doing when you supposedly gone to the Academy?!" He hissed.
"I told you I have been attending. I'm not going to win." I choked back a sob.
"You're not my daughter, Scarlett is better than you."
Scarlett smirked as they left, my mom staring at her feet while they left. It was heartbreaking but I hated being compared to Scarlett. Chelsea came in, bouncing.
"I know you are not going to win but wear this." Chelsea pulled out a ring and I put it on my finger.
Jasinta Brooke (17,1)
"I know I'm going to win don't bother saying that... But you guys are mentoring this year right?" I asked my parents.
"Of course but we can't help you win," Dad said and Mom agreed.
Mom handed me a choker and told me that it was my grandmother's.
I smirked, "Cool, I guess I'll see you on the train then... Make sure you watch my fight against the Miller's son, Bodhi."
Olivia and Michael smiled as they embraced me in a hug.
They left and Georgia came in.
"Don't forget to visit me," Georgia sniffed as I hugged her.
Shane Thompson (18,1)
"Mom, Dad." I embraced them in a hug, I really was going to miss them but maybe I will see them again.
"Here's your token." Dad handed me his ring that he always wore and I slipped it on.
"Thanks Dad," I said.
Dad smiled.
"I love you."
They left and Natalie and Chase entered.
"So I guess this is it," Chase muttered.
Natalie kissed me one final time and we stood there.
"I hope you win," Chase manage to crack a smile.
Maverick Silver (18,1)
"Gemma," I whispered in her hair as she nipped at my neck.
"Tell me you'll miss me," Gemma murmured.
"I'll miss you and I love you. I can't wait until I win and we could fuck at my house in the Victor Village."
Gemma smiled and pulled away leaving me hanging. Mom came in shortly after Gemma left.
"I wish your dad could see you know, living your dream by being in the Hunger Games," Mom said, softly.
Dad would have been proud of me for being chosen for the Hunger Games.
Duncan Gloomberg (14,1)
"I'm proud of you son for being in the Hunger Games," Dad said.
"I have the training and the academy thinks I'm a prodigy so I could win," I told him.
...
Virginia Valor (17,2)
"Pamela, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I can't say hi to my best friend?" Pamela joked.
"Haha very funny," I drawled.
"You are going to survive the arena right?" She asked.
I declined, "No, I'm going to make sure Livia or Sabina does."
"Try your best," she said before she left the room.
Mom and Dad entered next and mom gently spoke, "My baby, you're going to the Hunger Games along with your sisters, we'll miss you."
I manage to smile weakly, "I'll miss you too."
Sabina Valor (17,2)
I wanted to punch something how dare Jason volunteer just for me. He could have gotten another girlfriend but he chose to die. I was not going down without a fight.
"Mom, Dad," I croaked.
"Our sweet little warrior," Mom said.
"Mom," I whined.
"Keep an eye on your sisters, don't trust anyone besides your sisters, whatever you do don't fall," Dad rushed as if he was concerned.
And with that I was left alone trying to figure out what he meant.
Livia Valor (17,2)
"Mom, Dad," I managed to say before I let go of a sob.
"Livia... Whatever you do protect your sisters from dying. There's a secret but we can't tell you as it will turn us into avoxes."
"What? What do you mean?" I said.
"Don't worry about it," Dad whispered.
Jason Bridges (18,2)
"Mom, Dad, I'm not coming back home I am going to perish in the arena," I said to them as soon as they came in.
"What?" Mom whispered.
"I'm protecting Sabina."
I peered at the photo that was in my pocket that I stashed in there earlier. I instantly recognized who it was.
It was Cassandra.
Bodhi Miller (18,2)
"Please try and win," Mom told me.
"Make sure you kick the Brookes' ass," Dad said.
I rolled my eyes at that comment, "I could win."
"Please try to," Mom told me yet again.
They left and Nick and Olivia shown up with tears in Olivia's eyes.
"We'll miss you," Nick said.
"I'll miss you too," I told them.
Nolan Argent II (18,2)
"I'm going to win," I told my mom arrogantly.
"Don't act confident," Mom told me gently.
"Get out, you don't believe me," I hissed.
Nobody believes me but I knew I could win.
"Remus, you believe me that I could win right?"
"My mom told me what happened but I hope you die in the arena," He spat. "And Valerie sends her regards."
...
Avery Jackson (15,3)
"This is what your training was for just in case of you got reaped," Cortina said.
"Yeah, I was so close of four years before I was ineligible to get reaped unless it was a Quarter Quell and it required adults to go in," I told them.
Vanilla held Corlsan in her arms.
"I should have volunteered," Jocelyn murmured underneath her breath. It was her first reaping ever and now she regrets that she had not volunteer for me.
Vanilla, Corlsan, Cortina, Jocelyn, Vantilly and Jensen gave me a hug before they left.
Kolt Stants (16,3)
"You're not sorry. You lie that you are!" I hissed at her.
Dioda Stants, who was my mother but wasn't tried to apologize once more but it fell short. I was not a complete idiot to believe her lies. One time, she came up to me and told me I had a sibling but I didn't care. They weren't my family anymore.
She left before my only friend, Spark Yuthrridge came in following Kirchoff Banker. The only thing Spark and I had in common was that our history was relatable but that was where it ended. Kirchoff Banker sometimes joins up but not much and it seems that he wanted to say goodbye to me.
Jessie and Julie Mackintosh (18,3)
Jessie actually fought her way to be in the same room saying that she would burn the peacekeepers until they gave in.
"Mom, Dad," we both greeted.
"How's our twins?" Mom asked.
"Nervous but I think we would do well," Julie said, looking on the positive side. "If Jessie and I use our strengths one of us will be able to win."
Kane Jane (14,3)
"I hope Smackle protects you while you're in the arena," Dad spoke.
"She's dead," I told him in a serious manner.
"Well good luck," Uriah spoke softly.
I blinked that was the nicest thing Uriah had ever said to me ever since Smackle drowned.
Walt, Ally, Jenna and Caleb visited me next,
"Good luck," The said in unison.
...
Pearl Never (14,4)
"Marsha, I have to tell you something," I told her. I knew I wasn't ready to tell her about me being abused but this was my last chance to tell her before I died in the bloodbath that is if the careers actually killed me or I might kill myself by stabbing myself with a weapon.
"What is it?" Marsha snapped.
"These bruises on my body weren't from being clumsy while in fact, I was being abused by my family," I told her.
Just as I predicted, Marsha flipped out, "The hell, why did you lie to me about that?! I thought we don't keep secrets from each other. I hate you!"
And there goes my only friendship even my adopted family didn't even pay me a visit.
Andromeda Waters (14,4)
Kim and Venus visited me together.
"Our parents would say that do your best but The odds aren't in your favor, mom and dad died drowned, it was fishy since both of them could swim and the weather was sunny. The games are rigged, Mia," Venus explained.
"I cherished being with you," Kim whispered and she handed me my token.
Delta Pikes (16,4)
"Dad, I'm not worried about the games," I told him.
"You should be, there are ruthless killers and people who aren't afraid to slaughter tributes including you. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you since I lost your mother," He told me. Mom's death was never spoken and we often never talked about it.
Justin Shore (18,4)
"Mom, Dad, I'm not going to come home, you know my crush Delta who got reaped, well I'm going die trying to protect her from harm," I told them.
Triton Wells (17,4)
"Ara," I murmured as my sister hugged me. I was confident that I wasn't going to a doomed one but it seemed like I was going to be one.
I had to keep up the confident facade so I could get sponsors and I could see my family once more.
"I'll miss you," Ara whispered.
"We'll miss you," Dad said.
Luke Cahill (17,4)
Amanda kissed me as soon as she entered the room.
"Amanda, stop," I said pulling her away.
"You don't love me do you or is it about those siren dreams?" She said.
"Sirens... But I want to say something before you have to go... Amanda will you marry me when I come back to the district alive?" I asked.
"Yes," She breathed and she put the ring on her finger.
Amanda left and Mom showed up with huge grin plastered on her face, "Amanda told me, I hope you could come back alive."
"I hope so too," I said.
...
Zippina Lumen (17,5)
I heard Flash's yelping even from the closed door, it seemed like my family brought him along and I could say goodbye to him.
"Flash," I greeted him as he jumped up on me.
"I knew it would make you happy to see him," Mom commented.
I didn't say anything back to her, "Be brave in the arena," She continued on.
Flash let out a small bark as they left, it was nice to see my dog once more before I left even if it was my last time seeing them.
"You won't forget me right?" I asked Tesla as soon as she came in.
"Of course not, you're my best friend I could never forget you," Tesla reassured.
"What am I going to do? I hate seeing blood and the Games' are full of it," I panicked.
"Do not panic or else it will get you killed," Tesla said.
Sabrina Snider (13,5)
"Maybe your Dad is in the Capitol?" Belle suggested.
"Eleven years, he's long dead," I commented. "Besides I'll be dead when I step foot in the arena."
"Don't beat yourself up, you have a chance of still winning," Belle said.
"You should go," I whispered to her.
Belle left and Mom and Skylar appeared holding lightning bolt earrings in his hand that I was so familiar with. It was the only thing left of my father.
"Wear these while you are in the arena," Skylar said, handing them to me.
"Thanks." I felt tears drip from my eyes but I ignored them, "I-I'll miss you."
"We'll miss you too," Mom whispered.
Poseidon Norkwood (13,5)
"My odds of not dying are 500 to 1 since I am thirteen and there are trained killers ready to slaughter tributes," I told mom and Carlota.
"But you are smart and don't count yourself out," Mom commented.
"Maybe you'll meet friends," Carlota chided.
Martin Tesla (16,5)
I wasn't happy that I got reaped but I have to deal with it.
"Barrett that is not helping," I told my best friend, he told a joke at a bad time.
"I was only trying to lighten up the mood," He pouted.
Barrett and I had a small conversation before he had to leave and Mother, father and Justin appeared running like a munk around the room.
"Good luck son," Dad told me while Mom tried to get Justin to calm down for once.
"I love you," I muttered.
"We love you too," Mom said.
James Attwood (14,5)
"Luceal, keep the game coming in for my family," I told her.
"Of course," Luceal agreed. "Are you going to tell Emily that you have a crush on her?"
I declined, "No matter how tempting it is, I'll probably look like an idiot doing it and she will probably hate me."
"Don't sell your self short," Luceal commented.
Once Luceal left, Emily soon entered and I was not expecting it not one bit she said in a soft voice, "Come home to me."
I met her lips and we kissed for the first time.
"I hope you do," She murmured.
Emily left and mom, dad and Alana appeared.
"Good luck," Alana commented.
"I think I need it," I replied.
...
Emmy Feilds (12,6)
Imogen and Hattie appeared, "I'm surprised to you handled your reaction of getting reaped," Imogen blurted out.
"I lost my parents and I was in tears but the Hunger Games are a death sentence I need the other tributes think I'm tough and won't die without a fight," I told them.
"Keep up that confidence and you'll come home," Hattie commented. "At least I hope so."
"That's my plan," I said.
"It's a good plan," Imogen commented.
They left and Oskar came in holding Olivia in his arms even though she was only eight. "I love you."
"So do I and I'll miss you."
Rebecca Angel (15) and Walter Angel (16,6)
Cara came to see us, "My niece and nephew are going to the games because Walt here decided to volunteer to protect his sister," she commented.
"I hope you guys do well," she said then she turned away.
Rebecca's girlfriend Max visited her and no one came to say goodbye to me besides Aunt Cara.
TJ Vitras (17,6)
My best friend was in the games with me and my only visitor was my mom.
"Congratulations, imagine my surprise when I heard that you and Carlos got reaped," Judy drawled in a monotone voice. "Don't mess up... Things won't change if you return alive."
Carlos Grigori (17,6)
Juarez visited me and we talked for a little bit before she had to leave.
"I love you," I told my mom.
"I love you too," she said back.
Bianco Valet (15,6)
"I hope your wrist doesn't bother you while you're in the games," Mom whispered, worrying.
"Doctor said it would take 3-4 days to heal don't worry so much. I'm not worried I'm excited to be in the games."
"Worrying is my job," mom laughed.
I rolled my eyes, "Besides life's too short and I didn't want to go in the games all I want to do is sky-dive then work from there."
"But what about me?" Azuma pouted.
"If I win then you'll never have to worry about getting reaped," I told her.
...
"Katniss meet Crescent, Cress for short from District 3 and Will from District 5," Reese introduced a black girl with dreadlocks that reached to her mid stomach and a guy that had neat blonde hair with bronze eyes. To Katniss, it reminded her of a guy who was obsessed with his appearance.
"Please sit down," Reese continued and everyone sat down at the table while staring at a black screen.
Cress turned on the screen and the anthem of the Capitol played until it continued to District 1.
"We have Brooklyn Velvet that looks confident but probably is acting like Glimmer.." A member of the rebel, Carswell commented.
Katniss flinched at the name, she killed Glimmer twenty-six years ago.
Carswell continued, "Alexis Rain again looks confident, Jasinta Brooke, a victors' daughter and the glint in her eye looks like she wants to slaughter. Maverick again confident... Shane Thompson doesn't look like the four previous, how about that one?"
"I don't know," Cress said, "He looks like he wants to kill and we don't know if He will die. Our top priority is if there is any rebel history."
The screen switch to District 2.
"Three reaped girls, triplets by the looks. Their names are Virginia, Sabina and Livia Valor."
"Wasn't Valor a rebel in the dark days?" Reese inquired.
Cress typed in the names and nodded, "Evan Valor was a rebel, he lost his son and wife but he knew one thing despite him not getting executed... Evan was entrusted with a secret... He knew that District 13 was alive."
"Damn," Carswell commented, "Let's save those three."
"Again, we do not know if anyone will survive," this time, Will spoken up from the shadows.
"The three males look like they want to slaughter people," Carswell said.
Screen changed to District 3.
"Everything looks boring, why are we doing this?" Katniss whined. "I have to get my kids."
"We don't know anyone and it isn't like we could spy until one of us could hack into their systems but we still wouldn't be able to get everyone maybe ten or eight at the most," Cress commented. "Galaxy and I could try and hack..."
The chapter is over yay. Sorry it was kinda stressful, I would have gotten this chapter up yesterday but I was at Sabrina Carpenter concert last night. Part 2 should be up tomorrow I hope probably not since who knows how long the manager will be at my apartment and how long I am at the library.
