CHAPTER 3: District 3

*Adams POV

Reaping day, not my favorite day.

On the bright side I don't have to worry about saying goodbye to my friends because I don't have any. They're are all too stupid to realize what a great guy I am.

I get my finger pricked and gather in with all the other boys.

Louie gets on stage, a little too enthusiastic.

"Welcome! Bonjour!" I roll my eyes. I feel bad for someone who's stuck with a mentor as weird as him. How did he even win the games?

"Mademoiselles first."

"Belle French," I look over to a girl, so skinny and very weak.

I hear a shout in the crowd, "Not Belle! She doesn't deserve this! Take me instead!" Must be her dad.

She doesn't look like she'll last very long. Louie asks for volunteers, but like every other year there aren't any.

The anticipation is killing me. What are the odds? My parents left me a good amount of money, so I've never needed to sign up for tessarae. He puts his hand into the bowl and hesitates.

"And... Adam Beaster."

My heart drops.

I walk to the stage. He doesn't even need to ask for volunteers because I know there won't be any.

*Belle's POV

I know I won't make it. All I want to do is cry.

My dad won't be able to move on with his life without me.

My partner is a wreck, which makes this so much better.

He gets in fights all the time in school (at least he's not afraid to be aggressive).

Crossing my fingers Louie doesn't make us be allies.

In case of this situation, every year I research everything I would need to know. We learn in training, but I wanted to be prepared.

I never actually thought it would happen.

I know central parts of the body where it's best to stab, don't know if that will actually come in handy since I feel guilty about eating any form of meat. I know all about plants and all that sort of stuff.

I need to have courage, but not too much.

My dad comes in to say goodbye.

"Belle," he doesn't even say anything else because he breaks into tears.

"Please don't let me hold you back on life dad. Invent something Capitol-worthy, for me." I say with tears running down my face.

"You will live to see it." He says to me.

"But if I don't please, please don't let that stop you." He pulls me into another hug.

"I love you Dad." I'm being yanked from him by the Peacekeepers.

I'm going to miss him the most.
