The Hunger Games

Time for the reapings. Reno sighed. oh well, at least the age range was greater this year, so the odds were in his favor.

Betty Eff drew both the girl and boy slips at the same time. "Loyal and Traitor," she announced. The twins walked up. Traitor peeked at the bowls, and with a sinking heart, she saw that every single boy slip was Loyal, and each and every girl slip was herself. All the others had wrote our names instead of their own, she thought with a sinking heart.

There had been no way to avoid their fate.

Reno stood, grouped with other kids his age. They all kind of scooted away from him. Reno did't know why. Kids were just scared of him. Kylie Pilur zipped up to the platorm and reached for the girls ball. "Alluka Ranger!" A girl, 13 years old, went shakily up to the stage. Then, the boys ball. Reno's heart sped up. Kylie unfolded the paper..... "Reno Foxet!"

The crowd was silent at the call for volunteers.

Noelle woke up with a flash and scrambled out of bed. Reaping Day! Quickly dressing herself, she ran outside and was just in time to see her name being called. "No-ee-le Sa-on!" Elena Trinket called. That moment flashed by in slo-mo, suspended in terror. She quietly walked up to the podium. Finnick Odair had won when he was 14, then she could also.
_ _ _
Jonathan strutted to the reaping area and elbowed his way through. As an adopted son of a sort-of-rich merchant family, he had always been pretty full every night, although the meals were getting smaller. Some Capitol lady whose name Jonathan didn't bother to learn twirled around the ball. Her hand reached in and.... "Jonathan Corwell!"

Jonathan raised his head and walked straight up to the podium. Here was the time to avenge his sister's death. He heard some "Good riddiance" calls from the audience, and no one volunteered.

@sstwins

sstwins • 14 January 2012 at 7:43 PM

@cqpkytty

We wait for kennedy's reaping, or go on without him. i'm probably not going to be on again untill late tonight.

Kennedy walked into the square, his stomach twisting. He had to remind himself that there were so many more people. He wouldn't get chosen. He couuldn't. The girl called from his district was Katie Waters. She had turned six only yesterday and had to be helped to the stage. Kennedy closed his eyes as they drew the boy's name. And then his eyes snapped back open. Because the name was Kennedy Shickashima.

cqpkytty • 14 January 2012 at 8:17 PM

@sstwins
OK then

sstwins • 15 January 2012 at 12:37 AM

@cqpkytty I'm on!


Reno walked sloweld up to the stage. How could this happen???? He was two slips in thousands, no millions! He grimanced, and swollowed his fear. 'I've gotta look in control. Breathe Reno, breathe.'

sstwinz • 15 January 2012 at 12:41 AM

Kennedy walked up to the stage. Then he did the worst thing a tribute could ever do in front of the cameras. He started to cry. Loudly. Katie was crying too, but she was a litle kid! No one could blame her! Kennedy cursed himself. Now everyone would think that the District 11 tributes were weak, and target them. What a nightmare.

sstwins • 15 January 2012 at 12:44 AM

The next thing Reno knew, he was being ushered into the justice buildng. Time to say his final goodbyes. Of course, nobody came. Why would they? He didn't know anyone.

cqpkytty • 15 January 2012 at 3:34 AM

Loyal and Traitor sat alone in the Justice Building.

phoenizis • 15 January 2012 at 12:19 PM

Somebody pushed Noelle into the Justice Building, and she sat there, waiting to say her good-byes to her parents and big brothers. Of course, some of the District 4 tributes were big and strong, and volunteered, but there seemed to be none this year.
_ _ _

Jonathan was pushed into the Justice Building, and looked at his fellow tribute. She wasn't that pretty or strong, and Jon didn't know her name, nor did he have any determination to. His parents would be coming soon, and they would bring him luck and a snack.

cqpkytty • 15 January 2012 at 12:42 PM

It was time to get on the train.

phoenizis • 15 January 2012 at 12:54 PM

Her parents and her brothers filed in, and Noelle couldn't help her teary eyes. Before she knew it, she was shoved onto the train.
_ _ _

Mr and Mrs. Corwell walked in, their faces stony. "Don't worry, Jon. I have rich friends, they'll sponsor you. Just act strong and tough." Jonathan nodded and kissed them. "Bye." he whispered as he got onto the train.

@hessk12 hey, your mentor should be Katniss!!!

hessk12 • 15 January 2012 at 5:07 PM

haha, yeah! That'd be fun!

sstwins • 15 January 2012 at 5:10 PM

@hessk12 yep! So, you've already been reaped, about to get on the train.

hessk12 • 15 January 2012 at 5:13 PM

@sstwins ok

Tora waited to board the train. She was standing as still as a statue. She was glaring at everyone.

sstwins • 15 January 2012 at 5:15 PM

The train pulled into the station and Reno climbed abord, his heart heavy. 'Take a good look at district 3, Reno.' he told himself 'You'll probably never see it again.'

hessk12 • 15 January 2012 at 5:17 PM

Tora got on the train and sat, staring out at her beloved forests and friends. She blinked back tears and looked away.

sstwins • 15 January 2012 at 5:23 PM

Reno wandered down the hall of the train, untill he came to the compartment with Reno Foxet written on it. He walked inside, and locked the door.

hessk12 • 15 January 2012 at 5:27 PM

Tora looked for her train car and wandered past three, one said Jonathan Corwell and the other one said Tora Demonlove. She went into her room and slammed the door behind her...

sstwins • 15 January 2012 at 5:29 PM

@hessk12 We're on diffrent trains. Right? Because district 12 is not by district 3. You would have wandered by a train car that said Jonathan Corwell, the boy from your district.

hessk12 • 15 January 2012 at 5:30 PM

@sstwins oh yeah! haha. opps. I will fix it!

sstwins • 15 January 2012 at 5:31 PM

@hessk12 thanks!

hessk12 • 15 January 2012 at 5:32 PM

@sstwins no prob 😉

Kennedy was hurried into the justace building. He waitied for a while then his mom came in. "Oh Kennedy." She said, her eyes filling with tears. Kennedy reached out to his mom and they hugged and cried for a while. Then his mom sniffled and pulled away. "I brought you something." She said and held out a small box. Kennedy opened it to find a locket. He clicked it open to reveal two pictures. One of his mom, and one of his dad who had died when he was young. "I thought...for your district token..." Nothing more needed to be said. Kennedy hugged his mom tight untill she was called away. Kennedy wasn't expecting to get anymore visitors, so he was holding the locket and crying when the door opened. Mr. Waters, Katie's dad, walked in a little unsurely. He sat down next to Kennedy and grabbed his hand. "Promice me you won't let Katie die. Promice." His grip tightened. Kennedy looked up into Mr. Waters eyes and whispered "I promise."
