The 175 annual hunger games

District 1 reaping

Amethyst Helm's P.O.V

"What the heck do you mean you don't want to volunteer with your brother Amethyst?" My parents are set on me bringing 'honour' to the family by dying in the games, Im only good with close range weapons so I would never win.
"Oh sorry mom I just don't feel like dying at 15." My dad looked so mad I thought he was going to hit me again or worse hit my brother. Im pretty sure the only reason my brother wants to volunteer is so he get get out of this hell house.
I wouldn't survive here without my brother, so I guess It's better to be with him.
"Ok fine."
My parents perked up and then went t go get my red dress, its perfect for me well anything is perfect for me really, I could stand next to a district 7 tribute and make them look good.
I slipped on the dress next to a window so I could make some people feel awkward, on reaping day it's always busy here, my house is close to the place we gather to select the 'lucky' tributes. I pulled up my hair and added in some lilac and sapphire clips to bring out my purple eyes, my eyes are actually grey but I use contacts.
My brother came out in an expensive red suit that matched my dress and had a weird bird pin that matched my eyes, I think its a mocking jay. I don't care he has stupid fashion sense.
I shook my parents hands and said goodbye.
By the time we got to the square almost everyone was already there, at least the line is short so I don't have to wait.
I turn to my brother, "Bye Will, see you on stage." He gave me a kiss on the forehead and stepped into the sea of strangely dressed guys.
I could see our announcer Maie-Belle stepping up to the microphone, "Hello district one to the beginning of the 175th annual hunger games, and may I just say I am so very excited for this quarter quell!" She played the same old video of our past rebellion and why these games are good for us.
"Oh that video just gives me goose bumps." Maie-Belle giggled and then carried on with the standard into, "Let us begin, hmmm who shall we start with, let's begin with our handsome gentlemen." She swirled her hand around for what seamed to be hours.
"Cnip Mitchell"
A small straggly boy walked up to the stage with dark brown hair, I couldn't see his eyes because he was wearing sunglasses, he kinda looked like he was drunk. Why didn't my brother volunteer, I searched for him but I only found a couple other guys in flashy red suits.
Cnip was almost in tears on stage when Maie-Belle walked over to the girls bowl, I think he has a sister.
"Well now onto the ladies." I pushed past a couple people so when I volunteer it will be easier to reach the stage.
"Arely Bright." I knew that name, she was one of the famous models im district 1, at least I will save her from the games, "I VOLUNTEER!"
Maie-Belle looked a bit sad for a moment but then perked back up and said "Oh well don't I have a surprise for you, you both get to be honoured with the chance to be tributes! Each district gets a special 3rd tribute to go into the games and now we have our 3. And may I just say, congratulations!"
I stepped up to the stage and looked for my brother, but all I was greeted with was Arely standing in front of me. She really was beautiful, she had long red hair that was wrapped up in a braided bun and soft blue eyes. She seemed happy to get reaped, I guess for the fame.
We all stood on stage holding hands while everybody clapped, I can't win this without my brother.
Goodbye district 1.
