Millie Evergreen
District 7
I wake up to my older brother calling me to get ready for breakfast. When I have gotten into my reaping outfit – a white blouse and a forest green skirt down to my knees that matches my eyes – I brush my ginger hair and tie it into a long plait. Then I go downstairs to have breakfast with my older brother Finn, my little sister Pine and my little brother Tim.
"Hi Millie!" they both say as I sit down at the little wooden table. Finn is 18 and Tim and Pine are 7. Me, Pine and Tim live with Finn in a small house. Our mother abandoned us after Tim and Pine were born and our father died.
We all go down to the square for the reaping. Tim and Pine have had to watch the games since there was no one else to make sure they were ok while me and Finn watched them.
I see my friend Mia and we head over to the girl's section after I give each of my siblings a hug.
Eddie Firtree
District 7
I get up early to make breakfast for my little sisters Annabelle and Elia. They come down just in time before we have to leave for the reaping. They are both wearing pretty green dresses.
After we have all eaten I go next door and knock on my neighbour Olivia's door. Olivia works in the forests like I do. She's 20 years old and is expecting her first child.
Olivia opens the door. "Oh, hi Eddie! What do you need help with now?" she greets glancing and Annabelle and Elia.
"Hi Olivia. I was wondering if you could look after Annabelle and Elia during the reapings?" I ask as politely as possible.
"Sure. Don't worry you'll be fine. I'm all ready to go so I'll walk down with you." She answers, and I let out a sigh of relief.
We get to the justice building area just in time. I hug Annabelle and Elia then thank Olivia. Olivia gives me a hug too and I get my finger pricked.
Our escort walks onto the stage.
"Hello everyone! How about we start with the boys this time?" it says. Capitol people are so weird I don't think they are normal humans sometimes so I just refer to them as it instead of him or her. (XD)
"Eddie Firtree!" it shrieks. They have shrieks that can not be coming from a human.
No, this can't be happening to me. I hear Annabelle screaming my name, Olivia crying and as a glance over at them, Elia has the most shocked look ever on her face.
Millie Evergreen
A boy is called and there is a scream from the crowd. I see a small girl struggling against a pregnant woman who is trying to hold her back. Poor family, I hope that doesn't happen to me.
"Millie Evergreen!" Lissie, our escort shrieks. I am waken from my daydream. I walk up to the stage shaking and crying.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Your tributes from district 7: Millie Evergreen and Eddie Firgrove!" Lissie announces as me and Eddie shake hands.
Allies? I mouth
Sure He mouths back.
We are taken into separate rooms in the justice building. Finn comes through the door with Pine and !goodbye. I wish they didn't have to leave so soon but Finn left 30 seconds early with them so Pine and Tim wouldn't be dragged from the room. They're so young, I don't want them to get hurt.
Then Mia comes in and says goodbye and gives me a big hug.
Eddie Firtree
Olivia, Annabelle and Elia come to say goodbye. I tell Elia I'm going and I'll try to come back. Then Olivia covers her ears and says:
"Goodbye. I promise I'll make sure Annabelle and Elia are safe and never go into the hunger games, if you don't come back from this fucking deathmatch." She says. We don't need to cover Annabelle's ears since she's used to swearing. She's only a year younger than me at 11 years old, but Elia is only 8 years old.
After they leave our escort comes and takes us to the train. I whisper goodbye to district 7 and get on the train. I already miss it and my sisters and Olivia.
I hope you didn't mind the swearing but really, people in life swear. Get over it!
