500th Hunger Games

District 3 Reaping (14)

Bailey Drake's POV

"Thank you Bailey." Says Venessa, the winner of the family games.

"No problem." I says and run away from their home.

I have been selling them fresh game ever since they came back. The truly are nice people. I also know that their sister Mouse didn't actually die in the family games. I saw her one day while I was selling them game, but I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.

I spring back to my home. The reaping starts in a few hours, so I need to get ready. I open my front door and my mother and father are sitting on the couch with three peacekeepers.

"W-what's going on." I mumble

"Bailey Drake, we need to ask you a few questions." Says a peacekeeper

"O-ok." I say

"Have you ever left the district 3 border?" Asks the same man

Yes.

"No, I haven't." I say

"Are you sure." says the man

"Yes." I say calmly

"Then can you explain this." Says the man pulling out a laptop. A video plays of me tampering with the electric fence at the border.

"I was just seeing how well the security is there. I have to do a project on how a security system works at school." I lie

"Okay now, we have reports of you selling wild game, to several people around district 3. Can you explain this?" Says the man

"I-I buy the game from someone else then sell it to others." I stutter

"Ya right." Says the man "Bailey Drake you will be sent into the hunger games because of leaving the district and illegal trading."

"No! You can't do this!" I scream

"Your the one that broke the law, not me." He says and drags me out of the house

"I love you!" I scream to my parents as they drag me out of my house.

3 hours later...

I'm shoved onto the stage by the peacekeepers. The male tribute already is standing there.

The escort glares at me with evil eyes. I just glare back at her.

"What is your name you foolish girl" she spits

"Bailey Drake." I say with clenched fists.

The only thing that makes this situations 10 times worse is that I turn 15 in a few days, if the reapings were held back a few days I wouldn't even be here.

"Give a big round of applause for Aaron Volts!" Says the escort

"Say good riddance to Bailey Drake who will have a long slow painful death." She says

I can't take it anymore. I run up to the escort and punch her in the face. She falls onto the stage. I kick her in the side and she gasps. In the corner of my eyes I see a peacekeeper run onto the stage. I kick again, this time in the face.

Next thing I know everything goes black.
