I couldn't sleep even If I was asleep, I wouldn't be. Nightmares throughout the night. Turning and twisting to find the best comfortable positron even though nowhere was compfortable. Nowhere, is a safe place.
I woke with a scream that sounded like it was somebody else. It was a scream that would've ached you down through your bones.
Last night I had a vision that something terrible was happening to me, in 20 years. I was falling, and falling and stabbed and saw people getting their eyes ripped out of their sockets, and I saw colors beyond earth and I saw a brightness. A new begining. A chance.
I shook in bed and sat their sweating. I looked throughout the room that I shared with my little sisters, Taite and Jaid. They blinked a few times and sat up staring at me. Taite broke the silence.
"Today is the reaping." That was the sentence that made me shiver to the bone as a horrible feeling of nausea overwhelmed me.
I threw the covers back over, and Ly there, thinking. Through the window of our room I felt dawn arising as the sun peaked through warming my blanket.
My parents came to wake us up. They helped us dress and they themselves got as dolled up as we could. Even our finest clothes were what homeless where in the Captitol.
We all walked together In a straight line holding hands. My mother, father, Taite, Jaid and me. We all hugged knowing it could be the last time we see each other in a full embracement.
I was grouped with other 16 year olds who all looked around just like myself.
After the mayor gave his one speech about the games, the escort of district 10, Justine Dupree came up to the stage.
"Welcome! Welcome to the 500th games of the Hunger games. As you all know, there will be a total of 10 tributes chosen from each district, for this years quarter quell. 5 girls and 5 boys." she beamed at us as if this was a freaking gift.
"As you know, ladies first."
She walked in her tiptoed high heels over to a large bowl that stood by another. She teasingly waved her hand over it and then plucked one with her red nailed hand.
"Janus Roluc."
A girl from the 18 year old section came up and said her age. She looked tough. As if she has done this before. She didn't shed a tear.
"Kameron Parks." A 14 year old.
"Yasmine Yung." 17 year old.
"Jaid Dawn."
My throat dried up as my little sister walked up the stage On the verge of tears. Seeing her up there, how could they do this to a little girl!!! I was furious, panicky, and miserable but I was strong.
"I volenteer!" I scream in gasps. I run up to the stage and stop Jaid from continuing on any further. I step up to the microphone and speak in quick words with tears forming into my eyes.
"My name is Destiny Dawn and I'm 16." The audience stares back at me in disbelief. Then they clap. There hasn't been a volunteer for years from district 10.
I sit down and Justine grins and ushers Jaid back down to the audience and her eyes never leave mine even as she walks the other way. Tears take shape and drop from her blue eyes. I stare down at my lap. Tears fall but quickly I wipe them away.
Justine grins as she speaks Into the mic after picking the next and final girl tribute.
"Taite Dawn."
My stomach lurches as my heart picks up pace.
"No!!!" I scream running up to Justine. "Please! That's my sister!" I cry and cry not caring if others think I'm a baby. I know I'm tough and in good with a knife. I could take anyone any day.
My little sister. My other one..but how does Jaid get picked and then Taite? We all registered at the stand for the games and they put the slips in the ball at the same time so maybe they didn't shuffle the names. Which is no doubtly, unfair.
Justine grimaces at me and has a peacekeeper settle me down in my seat. But all my anger comes out and I punch the peacekeeper in the stomach. HARD. He grips his stomach in pain and he shoves me into the seat. I fold my arms frustrated, angry and sad as Taite makes her way across the stage. She barely looks at me and sits down next to me.
My sister is in the hunger games. My life is controlled by a merciless ruler. My family is poor. IM in the hungergames. Things couldn't possibly get worse.
