Life had been good for Jordan Curse a 14 year old in district 7.his siblings and him were not dying in Panem any longer and they had all survived the reaping the year before today. Jordan knew that there was one fourteen year old to win the games two years prior so when Jordan had turned fourteen the odds were not in his favor.
Jordan had three brothers and 4 sisters Jared (20), Andrew (19), Linden (18), Blake (16) Georgia(15) and his twin sister Julia (14). His final sibling was reaped two years ago and was murdered in the arena by none other than Finnick Odair the hottest and youngest victor to date she was 15 at the time.Two of his siblings have surpassed the age for reaping and didn't have to participate this year so they started working in the lumber mills and industry. Jordan's parents had basically been nonexistent his whole life. For one his mother passed away of starvation 6 years ago and after that his father took up drinking draining all the money that his family still had. Jordon despised his father and hoped that he would just disappear. All of his siblings at their final reaping put their name in more times to take extra food for their family otherwise they would have all starved.
Jordan knew how much the reaping destroys someone but he had a feeling that one day he might have another one in the family. As they headed home all he could do is hold hands with his sister Julia who even though they were twins was half his size. Jordan was muscled and constantly worked to keep up his strength in case one day he would need it. He had dark brown hair and was more tan than most of his family. His sister was about a 5 inches shorter and was skinny with barely any muscle she had a yellow shirt with a black skirt on she wore this to the last few reapings because nice clothes are freaking expensive. She had been the only other more tan child in the family. Jordan and Julia were inseparable.
They reached home and all sat down and started talking off their nice clothes.
"Well we all survived," Blake had said as he undid the buttons on his shirt.
"Yeah I got really nervous for a minute I had a feeling I might get reaped." Georgia said as she pulled on her usual pants and shirt.
Blake despite being the third brother was the biggest one. He had broad shoulders and tons of muscle. He had blonde hair which was rare in district 7. Georgia was a ginger which was the rarest you could get in Panem since they had all been separated into districts the genetic variation was stunted and gingers were basically non existent. Jared and linden looked almost identical with little meat on their bones and they resembled Julia and Jordan who had jet black hair broad shoulders but green eyes. They to had been tan but not as dark as Jordan and Julia. Andrew was a combination of all of them with blond hair like Blake and freckles all over his nose like Georgia and green eyes like Jordan, Julia, Jared and linden.
"I just need to sleep." Jordan said as he finished changing.
"Yeah me to." Julia said as she changed. Everyone in their home shared two rooms a bedroom with 6 beds two of which were bigger so that they could share. And the living kitchen and dining room all in one. The windows were shattered and covered by cloth to keep heat still inside the house. There was mold on the ceiling and buckets everywhere to catch rainwater from dripping through the ceiling kn the floor.Throughout the next few weeks the hunger games was televised they had entered the arena 3 days ago and there were 3 left. They watch in silence as all three tributes are lured into the cornucopia by mutts and natural disasters of the capital. The arena this year was a rubble town with destroyed buildings and bricks everywhere. The first two tributes were from districts 8 and 5 and the career from 1 Augustus Braun stayed behind a building. The two fought and the district 8 boy dug the knife he had into the district 5 girls eye. Then Augustus came out and threw his knife deep into the boys skull.
Ladies and gentlemen the winner of the 67th annual hunger games Augustus Braun.
It was over. Jordan and Julia headed to the market to see what was there. They entered the market and saw all the treasures found by the sellers. Jordan and Julia headed back to the girl that they usually bought from her name was Rouge Hunter she had one leg and her face was badly burned so not many people visited her. They made it to her station to find an array of wonderful trinkets and jewelry.
"Hey Rouge how ya doing." Julia said looking at the lady
"Ya know the best I could." She said walking to the back clearly not wanting to talk. This happened after every hunger games for weeks because her son had nearly won the games when he was killed in the final two by a 15 year old from district 5 about 7 years ago. They looked through her items when Blake laid wyd eyes on a pair of bracelets that were silver. They looked flat and smooth and fit perfectly around their wrists.They purchased the bracelets and headed home both putting the bracelet on the right wrist matching. They looked on the inside as the were putting them on and the inside said
the odds are never in our favor.
