District 10: Reaping
By: belle-of-the-ball-xo
*Tarzan's POV

"This is our last year." I tell Jane, while she's laying on my lap.

"It better be, I can't deal with this stress any longer."

"I better get going, I need to get dressed." She said.

"I'll see you in a bit, beautiful."

"Then this will all be over." She whispers.

I blow her a kiss as she walks outside. I put on a button-up shirt with dark jeans.

I kiss my adoptive mother's cheek as I head to the square.

"I'll be there in a couple of minutes." She tells me.

I get in line to have my finger pricked then I nervously look for Jane.

I need to tell her I love her one last time... In case anything happens.

I find her quickly and she jumps into my arms, tears flooding her eyes.

"I'm scared."

"Don't be. I love you no matter what happens today." The Peacekeepers are telling the genders to become separated as the reaping begins.

District 10's mentor is Nani, she may look small, but when someone is determined they can do anything. She would not, could not, leave her sister. She fought her way through it.

"Hi, aloha, everyone." She spoke softly into the microphone.

"I'm going to pick the ladies first."

"Jasmine Sulta." My eyes find Jane and she starts to break out in tears.

She's safe.

One more name and we can finally get married.

"Any volunteers?" I barely hear Nani with all the ideas running through my head.

I'm going to propose tonight.

The anxiety of the hunger games has held us back for all these years, we can finally be together. What we've both been waiting for.

"And for the boys. Tarzan Apel." My knees buckle and a stranger catches me just in time.

I hear her screaming, and crying.

I try to run to her, to tell her that I will be back.

But the Peacekeepers are a lot more strong than I thought.

"Any volunteers?"

"Please! Take me! Don't let him go without me!" Jane is sobbing so uncontrollably, I almost can't make out her words.

The peacekeepers are carrying her out of the square.

I need to say goodbye.

They push us into rooms, and I wait for Jane. Finally, she stumbles in.

She falls into my arms. "Tarzan, I love you."

"I will do whatever it takes."

I give her a lingering kiss before I'm escorted into the train.

I can't get her sobs out of my head and the only way for them to leave is for me to come back alive.

That's a lot to ask for.

*Jane's POV

I've lost everything.

I don't know how I'll live without him.

The sad thing is, is that I can't do anything about it.

*Jasmine's POV

In our goodbyes my dad came in not ready to give me up. Of course he was acting that way because I wouldn't be able to marry the man of his dreams.

When Nani called my name, at first I felt like something I've never felt before.

Then I realized that I can be free, or for two weeks at least.

My dad is the strictest person I've ever met, and even though I've never met President Walt, I think my dad would give him a run for his money.

I get onto the bus and Tarzan is a wreck. It was quite a scene he caused.

There was a girl in sobs, I assume his girlfriend.

There is a platter of food in the table and I ate a lot, so I could beef up.

I'm skinny enough as it is.

I look back to Tarzan and he's giving me the death glare, literally. I know that he's in it to win it.
