District 8 Reapings!

The District 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 27th 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...

I close my eyes and hold Ambria's hand. She may be a tough girl, but she is still my twin sister, and I don't want to lose her. Ugh! The stupid, stupid reaping! I winced as she pulled the name out of the bowl, anxiously awaiting to see who it is.

Emilee was going up to be signed into the reaping ceremony. Her parents were off somewhere doing what ever it was they did nearly ever year of this. Emilee was dressed in one of the finest dresses her mother had and honestly she disliked wearing it but put up with it. She waited rather patiently to sign in and once she did she went with the crowd of people and was making her way through to get settled so the reapings could begin and she could finally stop wanting to be in the hunger games until the next year rolled around. Emilee wanted to live up to the family name and in order to do that she had to go into the games and she had to win. I got in my area and waited for the results.

.:With a snatch of a paper among thousands, the small envelope was pulled from the big glass bowl. With a deadly taught silence the escort returned to the microphone. A scratch of opening paper, and the escort cleared their voice

"Ambria Knight" they called.

.:The silence deflated like a balloon. "Now for the boys." Repeating the same process the escort loudly said into the microphone

"Nikolas Steele"

.:The two tributes 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 screamed and tried to keep her with me, but the peacekeepers pulled her away.
"AMBRIA! NO!" I cried in vain. "Please don't leave me..." I whimpered.

As I was marched onto stage, I saw the figure of my weeping sister. "It's going to be all right Amber!" I comforted. I motioned for my friend Marka to help her. I stood bravely on the stage, waiting for the games to begin.

I was rather angry that it wasn't me who wasn't called. I needed to be up there but to volunteer well my parents wouldn't be pleased with me and I was refrained from volunteering, it wasn't fair I wanted to be in the games..Amber obviously didn't want her twin sister in the games and maybe Ambria didn't want to be in the games either, I could have saved them from this but it was nearly impossible. I wasn't allowed to volunteer, my parents exact rules. They didn't want me in the games but I wanted to be in them.

(Does Ambria need a volunteer)

NO! She is my only competitor and I want to be a part of the games! If that's ok....

A medium height girl shuffled through the crowd, shouting out that she volunteered. She stiffly walked up to the stage past Ambria, smiling at her nervously. She announced herself as Diana Murray, was she a friend of the reaped tribute? Or was she suicidal?

OOC: Who is Diana?

Not real

She can have whatever relationship with Ambria you want

I stared at my neighbor, Diana. She saved my sister's life. I cried, "Thank you...So...Much"

Nicko heard the captiol person call his name, heard his sister screaming. "Nickolas Steele. Nickolas Steele. Nickolas Steele." The name played in his head. Everything went in slow motion for him. Snorri was screaming, crying. Nicko looked at her. Tears poured down her face, her scraggly hair wipping in her face. "Please. Some one. Don't do this. He's only twelve." This silenced the crowd. No one liked such a young kid to be chosen. Nicko looked to his brother Milo. Milo was silent as ever, tars pouring down his face as he reached out to Nicko. Nicko felt the stick salt of his own tears tricking down his face. Why him? Yet, he mountd the stage. Snorri didn't attempt to volenteer. She couldn't leave Milo on his own. In the crowd, Milo shook his head, whispering I volenteer over and over. Yet no sound came out. Nicko took a shaky breath and stood tall, his back proud. Snorri screamed again and again. It seemed like hours, but Milo made out the words, "I volenteer." again, there was no one there to hear him. Nicko was the stronger of the twins, but Milo had his own fight. He would do it. "Milo don't. For me." There was a lump in Nicko's throat as he spoke.
