The 100th Hunger Games

District 1 Reapings

A/N- Hunger Games is owned by Suzanne Collins. I just own the characters in this story. She owns it though.

Lucia Pycen's POV
I woke up and groaned. Reaping Day. After this, we have 3 more. Sigh. I pulled on my gray dress and woke up my twin sister, Lauren. "It's Reaping Day. Wear something nice." I brushed my hair and my mother called for us to eat breakfast. I asked, "You don't think we'll be reaped, do you?" She sighed and answered, "I don't know. But I certainly hope not." A tear glistened in the corner of her eye. Our father was 18 when we were about to be born. He was reaped, and he got killed by Careers when he declined their offer of an alliance. I can tell she misses him a whole lot. We finished and I pulled Lauren into the bathroom. "Okay, Lauren. If I get reaped, after they let everyone go, find Mom and make sure she is okay. She's afraid one of us will get killed like Dad." She nodded. "And you do the same for me?" I nodded and tears begam streaming from my eyes. "I love you Lauren! You're the best sister anyone could ask for!" "I love you too, Lucia!" She wiped away my tears and gestured towards the door. "They'll begin the Reaping soon." We hugged our mother and ran to the square. I squeezed Lauren's hand and she returned the favor. My heart was pumping. What if Lauren gets reaped? What will I do without her? What if I get reaped? My stomach was in knots. A Capitol woman with bright blue hair and white skin cleared her throat. "Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor. I'm River Curence, the escort for District 1. For the 4th Quarter Quell, we will have double the tributes! Not only that, but two tributes will be reaped, as usual, but one of their family members will be placed in the Games as well!" My eyes widened and my head whipped to Lauren. I whispered, "Lauren, I'm scared. If one of us is reaped, we both go in." She opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by River talking again. "Ladies first, as usual. Lucia Pycen! Come on up, darling!" My whole body was shaking as I forced myself to walk up to the stage. "Now, the boys. Blake McKayn!" A big, muscular boy walked up. He must be 18. A Peacekeeper gave River two papers. "And now, your family members. Lauren Pycen! Brianna McKayn!" Lauren walked up, followed by a small girl in braids. "District 1, your tributes for the 100th Hunger Games!"

Blake McKayn's POV
My father woke me up and told me to get dressed for the Reaping. I didn't think I'd get reaped. My father and I live together with my 12 year-old sister, Brianna. My mother left us and took my little brother with her. Since I'm 18, it was my last year eligible in the Reaping. I wasn't worried, because I had been exercising my strength every day and I can easily defend myself.
At the square, the escort said that one family member per person would be sent into the Games too. Inside my head, I was freaking out. If I got reaped, Brianna would be sent to her death! She can't defend herself! I was so scared for Brianna that my heart beat skipped a few beats. They called me, and called up Brianna and this other girl, Lauren. I hugged Brianna. The Peacekeepers took us to these rooms. I talked to Brianna and tried to calm her down. "Bri, you need to get some allies. Try and join the Careers. Not many people dare attack them. Just stay safe! I love you so much!" My voice was breaking, but I didn't care. Dad ran into the room and hugged us. "Blake, look out for your sister. Keep each other safe! Try to survive as long as you can! I love you! I want you to come home!" The Peacekeepers pulled Dad out of our sight and Brianna's tears stained her dress. I hugged her and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry Bri. I'll protect you as long as I live."
