Reaping Day

Subject: Reaping Day Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:52 pm

The District 6 escort steps up on stage and smiles with blindingly white teeth. She starts speaking in a high pitched voice, "Welcome everyone to the Reapings! Today one young man and woman will be chosen to participate in the 29th Annual Hunger Games!" She steps up to the big bowls containing the names of every child in the district, from 12 to 18. Her hands hover above the bowls for a second, as if deciding something. "Now then, Ladies first!" she says, and reaches into the bowl filled with girls names...

.:The two tributes "Ariana Fox and Hudson Fox" had been chosen for slaughter, all that would be left would be to cart them off for their grand appearance in the Capitol. "Now then, are there any volunteers?" The escort asked as their two tributes joined them, on stage.

I stand half in shock. Not because I got picked. Because Ariana got picked. This.... This isn't happening. She is too young. I slowly make my way up to the stage. Hudson Fox, you're making an oath now. You will never leave your sister in those games. She will get home alive. will do. I stand next to the young girl. she shouldn't have to go through this at her age.......

The day had come again, the Reapings. Kara made her way through the crowd, finding her place in the area next to her younger step sister Ariana. They were only a year apart and so it was Kara's job to make sure she didn't get lost in the crowd. Even if she thought she was annoying at times. They waited there patiently for the names to be called and looked to Ariana. "Hey don't worry. It won't be you picked I'm sure." She looked back forward just as the escort reached in to grab the girl's name from the giant bowl. "Ariana Fox" Kara looked down in disbelief as the girl moved to the aisle moved slowly to the stage. She was too young for this. Then the worst thing that could have possibly happened did; Hudson's name was called next."...No...." Not only had one person in her family been picked but two of her siblings were Reaped. She could only look as the two took their spots on the stage and she could only hope that someone would volunteer so they wouldn't lose 2 members of their family.

Ariana Fox looked around her nervously, scared out of her mind. This was her first Reaping, and apparently the first was the worst. Ariana swallowed nervously as she was wrenched away from all her family except Kara. They were only one year apart, so Kara had been assigned to look after Ariana. Kara didn't look too happy about the situation, but Ariana was glad for the company. She looked at Kara as she spoke and gave her a very small smile. "I know, but it's still scary." she explained quietly. Ariana watched nervously as the weird Capitol lady dipped her hand into the name ball. She was ready to feel sorry for whoever was chosen when the jame was read out.

'Ariana Fox' The name echoed through her head. Ariana made a smallchokig noise in the back of her throat as she started trembling uncontrollably. The tears streamed down her face as she slowly made her way down the aisle, usig jerky and stiff movements. She climbed the podium. She let her tears run down her face, managing to keep quiet. That is, until the next name was called. 'Hudson Fox' Ariana colder keep her sobs in. She covered her mouth with her hand as her only actual sibling climbed onto the stage next to her. She looked out into the crowd, wishing somebody would volunteer. But she could tell by the faces of the audiencethat nobody would step forward. It was suicide.

I gulped down the lump in my throat. 'Ariana Fox' and 'Hudson Fox' The speaker called. "No! Ariana! No! Hudson!" I screamed hopelessly. Ariana looked to helpless, so young. She couldn't have been chosen. It was sick. Hudson walked to the stage and I could feel the tears gushing out of my eyes. There was nothing I could do for him. I repeated this phrase several times in my head but it only made me feel worse. My heart was pounding so loud. Surely there must be something wrong with me. But no one asked me if I was alright. Everyone knew the answer.
I wasn't alright.

Ariana Fox... The name echoed through Callie's mind, spinning and spinning and spinning.
Something about that name sparked her interest. Ariana Fox? Do I know her? She isn't a family member, is she?
Callie's thoughts were muddled, her ability to make connections impaired. Hudson Fox... wait, no, he was picked... well,
he's 17, he'll get through this. I just have to keep thinking that, and as long as nobody else in my family was picked, it'll
be okay, because then they can come home! Who's next? Angel Fox, thank gawd she wasn't picked, dare I say it. Me, no,
no, no, my name's Callie, Calico, not Ariana. Nadia Fox, no, safe, safe, safe! Kara Fox... nope... she's fine... Ariana Fox,
no, it's not that, it's Arian- "NO!" Callie screamed, tumbling forward and clawing at a Peacekeeper. "DON'T YOU DARE!
SHE'S A FREAKING 12-YEAR-OLD! SHE'S MY LITTLE SISTER! IF YOU TAKE HER, I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!
HUDSON, HE CAN SURVIVE. BUT LOOK AT HER! SHE'S TWELVE YEARS OLD. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO LIVE!
BRING HER THE HELL BACK!" The Peacekeeper knocked Callie to the ground
and stepped on her stomach repeatedly. Callie squirmed around, screeching, and trying to make her way
over to her family on the stage, but it was too late to volunteer. The tributes had been chosen.
At least one member of my family is going to die... she realized, the dreaded thought turning
her mind to ash. Either Ariana or Hudson has to die.. maybe neither will come back...
they're going to die.

Ariana watched sadly as Nadia screamed out her and Hudson's names. Butthere was nothing she could do. Then Callie seemed to register what had just happened, and went ballistic. She basically attacked a Peacekeeper, screeching all the time. She tried to make her way to the stage, but it was too late. The Capitol attendant had already asked for the two tributes to shake hands. Tears still dripping out of her eyes, Ariana turned to her older brother and shook his hand gently. "Good luck." she whispered quietly. If she didn't make it back, and it wasn't likely she would, then Ariana wanted Hudson to live. He was so kind, he deserved to have a full life.
