Cozumel 111th hunger games
Chapter 4 district 4 reapings
Thalia Hepler D4 female POV
"Stop thief!" the peacekeeper shouts as I run through the streets. I survive on the streets by pick pocketing food and money. This morning, I had stolen a couple of apples from the market. The man putting them on display hadn't seen me take them.
I slipped a rang of a lady's finger that I had ran into. Usually, people don't notice the stuff I steal until I'm out of sight. But I hadn't gotten very far when the lady noticed her ring gone. Four peacekeepers, three male and one female chased after me.
Now I ran through the streets as fast as I could, my black ponytail flinging in the air as I run.
They can never catch me. I ran down to the docks and ran across the boardwalks as the workers did their work. I knocked over a stack of crates to slow down the peacekeepers.
One of the peacekeepers shot his gun, it missed me and hit a fish in a crate I ran past.
I ran to one of the warehouses. I know that the door there locks from the inside. I run inside and hid behind the door.
The peacekeepers entered.
They looked around as they walked inside and looked behind crates.
I ran to the entrance and turn back.
"See yah" I called.
Their heads shot up and I close the door as they turn around to look.
"Hey!" one of the male's called. "Let us out!"
"Hey kid, you hear?" called the female. "Let us out now and I promise we'll at least let you live!"
I walked away with a smirk as I walked away.
I though about the reapings today for the hunger games. If I won, I'd live the life of luxury for the rest of my life.
When it was time for the reaping, I went to the reapers building. When I stepped up to have my blood sample. I recognized the two peacekeepers as the female and one of the male peacekeepers who were chasing me earlier.
The looked up at me with frowns apparently humiliated at being beaten by me earlier.
The lady just took my sample without saying a word and I went to join the 16-year-old section.
Our escort Assana Belcourt stepped up. She had curly brown hair tied up and shells in her hair and wore an orangey-gold dress.
"Good morning district 4," she says. "Welcome to the 111th hunger games. Before we begin, we have a video from the capital."
She played the video and then listed our victors. We have five victors. Afterwards Assana reached into the jar with the female names.
"Michelle…" she began.
"I volunteer as tribute!" I called stepping up.
I walked confidently up.
"What's your name?" asked Assana.
"Thalia Hepler" I replied.
"Now for the boys" said Assana.
She reached into the jar and pulled out a name.
"Boyd Mullet" she announced.
A looked and saw a boy about a year younger than me walk up. He had short red hair.

Boyd Mullet D4 male POV
I was practicing my swimming. It's always been one of my strengths like everyone in district 4.
My friends and I had been practicing for the hunger games. I don't use weapons to much, but I still know how to fight.
I stood with the other boys. I watched as Assana picked out a name from the females.
"I volunteer" a voice called out.
A girl stepped out and eagerly ran up. She was a year older than me and was taller. She went up to the alter and joined Assana.
"What's your name?" asked Assana.
"Thalia Hepler" replied the girl confidently.
"Now for the boys" she declared.
She reached into the jar with the males names and picked out an envelope.
"Boyd Mullet" she announced.
I walked up to join them.
Nobody volunteered. I wished I had the same confidence as Thalia.
"I present you our tributes this year," Assana spoke up. "Thalia Hepler and Boyd Mullet."
