Last Reaping! Woohoo!

We are officially on board the Hunger Games train!

Even though I'm skipping out train rides except for one or two tributes.

Also, I know it took a while but blame spring cleaning, not me! xD

Nighttimephoenix: Would you though? And not necessarily...

Sweet sunset rain: Thanks!

Blade is my penname: No. No no no no no. Yes- I mean no!

ExtraordinaryAmy: A! I'm better than K btw...

To Bell8421: if you're there, have you got any more ideas for Liron's weapon? Because the things you suggested probably wouldn't be in the arena and are an unlikely sponsor gift too. If you don't, she gonna be stuck with a blowgun.

I'm holding out on releasing sponsor items list until the chapter of the Games. Because I'm lazy and can't be bothered right now. :)

The Victor has been determined but all could change if they're seriously unpopular.

Battery Wilson, D3

I sincerely do not understand my mother.

Last year was my first Reaping. All I remember of it is her telling me that I 'have a chance,' and that I could 'easily win the Hunger Games and avenge Stella!' Stella was my older sister. Three years ago she was sent into the Games at age fourteen. She died in the bloodbath at the hands of her District Partner.

This year, my mum threatened to send me to my abusive dad's house if I didn't 'bring honour to Stella' by volunteering. My dad cheated on my mum when I was eight, Stella was twelve and Spark was only six. He quickly turned to drink when we wouldn't let him in the house and the rest is history.

I still don't plan to volunteer. But I tell my mum I will and set off to find Circuit and Elaina. Elaina, of course, is hiding her latest form of explosive when I arrive, so Circuit and I set off without her. Will is already there, I think- if not he'll walk with someone else.

As we stand in the line, I spot Elaina strolling up to the place where her section is. I wave at her, but I don't think she noticed.

Circuit is nudging me and I notice my mum and Spark. I duck behind a tall fourteen year old and she thankfully doesn't notice where I am. It's then that I look up at who I ducked behind.

My half-brother Buzz.

"What do you mean, you have another son?" My mum is crying, because she's realised what's happened. Even if I haven't.

"I mean I have another son..." He starts cursing as my mother breaks down completely. Neither of them have realised I'm there, but the school 'cool kid' Buzz has. He smirks at me.

My dad suddenly makes to punch my mum. I dive in front of her, and my world goes black.

I still haven't forgiven my dad. When he cheered at that fateful Reaping just seconds after Stella was Reaped, I knew he was no longer the man I once knew. He may have been full of alcohol, but I couldn't care less.

Circuit drags me back. He knows Buzz's face brings back the painful memories, he knows Buzz for who he really is.

Fortunately, my half-brother has yet to notice me. He shoots a pained look at the Peacekeeper taking his blood and walks away from me, taking the pain I feel with him.

Of course, the first face I see when I am Reaped would have to be his, smirking as ever. That gives me the boost I need, however, to go up confidently. I'll need sponsors. And what better time to start than now?

Ella Crank, D3

I am sleeping. At least, that's what I tell myself.

But in reality, I'm scared to sleep. I know I'm not the only one, but everyone else is scared of the Reaping. Not me though. It's just... the dream I had last night. My uncle- I always spit out the word to show my disdain- was back.

I was a tribute in the Hunger Games- not the scary part- and the District Two Male kept becoming him. I could feel the sting and the burn of the countless times his belt has hit me, the thousand times I have laughed as he 'entertained' his friends by beating me, letting them beat me, and selling me for a day or- even worse- night.

I give up on sleeping. Sleep is a luxury, and lately it has been evasive, slipping out of my clutches when I need it most.

I wander the streets aimlessly. As the sun is rising, I quickly dart into the Mayor's house via the back door. Every week, the cook is allowed to give me a little basket with food in it. Sadly, she's out today, so I go to the Reaping early, on an empty stomach.

Of course, I didn't expect to get Reaped.

But I never expected my life to play out as it has.

As I am forced up by the Peacekeepers- kicking and biting, but so what?- I can practically hear the whispering.

Another thing I didn't expect- to get knocked via some kind of drug in a syringe.
