Willow and Rye ~ after mockingjay

the reaping

Willows p.o.v

I look across the room to search for Rye but nothing. Of course he is not here its the day of the reaping. A chill goes down my spine. What if I get picked. What if someone I know gets picked. Hopefully if I get picked hopefully I win. For Rye, my mom, and my dad I will do whatever I can to win for them if I get chosen to compete in the games. Thank goodness Rye is not old enough to compete. He knows how to hunt though so he can help them get fed.

The bell chimes which signals we have to go unless your on deaths doorstep. We are all lined up and Effie and Haymitch are on the stage. "Welcome to the reaping as you all know one girl and one boy tribute are chosen to go to the games and so forth. As always, ladies first." she says. She reads the slip of paper it says. I gulp as she says the name. "Willow Mellark" she says. I have to win this for my family. and I walk up to the stage on the verge to cry but I keep my face void of any emotion.

Katniss p.o.v 

This cant be happening. This cant be happening. This cant be happening. I need her to win the for us right before she steps on stage Rye runs to her and cries out her name. "Willow!!!" he says.

Willows p.o.v

"Willow no!" Rye says. I have to you got to know that it hurts me to see him like this but I keep my face void of any emotion. "let go Rye" I say acting brave like my mom and telling him the same words my mom said to her sister before she left for the games at the justice building. "let go I have to!" I say. Mom and dad walk up and pick him up and says "Go" they say in unison but extremely sad.

"Now for the boy tribute!" Effie says. 

I cant believe the name its- Gales son? "Adam Hawthorne!" Then my mom looks and sees gale hug his son and give him a pep-talk.

Katniss p.o.v

Wait- Gales here? I will ask him to come over later I guess we have a lot to comfort each other with even Peeta I mean his son went in and same as our daughter hopefully they are both able to win together.
