The Reapings (34th)

Guest

The District 5 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 33rd 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...

She dug her hand into the bowl and pulled out the female tribute's name, "Hayylee Reigh" She called out and then she dug into the male's bowl. "Torrence Mason"

I wasn't so excited to be there as my parents. I wasn't scared, but I wasn't feeling glad that moment.
The freaking Capitol escort, steps up on stage and picks the ladies name. I hear crying and a small figure stands out . Peacekeepers gather around her as she walks up the stairs to the stage. I search my fathers eyes and see his disappointement. My mother is pale. I don't even realise what I'm doing when I yell to the escort:
-I volunteer as Tribute!!
My father smiles a bit and I know I made him happier than ever but when peacekeepers walk closer around me I feel regretful. The only thing that makes me keep going is the wide smile of the girl's mother that looks me with tears in her eyes. A shiver runs down my spine as I'm thinking she really believes there's no way to see me alive again. A young boy about 14 comes on stage near me. Then the doors close behind us...
