Charlotte Everdeen, a cousin of Katniss and Primrose Everdeen.
Charlotte was only 12 years old when she was reaped for the 74th hunger games.
Small, little Charlotte, will she die on the first day like everyone thinks? Or can the unexpected happen?
District twelve is always cold in this time of the year, but in the last two nights, me, my little sister Prim and my cousin Charlotte snuggled together in this small bed, we can barely budge, but it was warm and comforting.
I stared at the empty bed for a while before I realized. Today is the reaping day! And today will be the first reaping for both Prim and Charlotte, they were extremely worried.
I propped myself up on one elbow, sure enough, my darling little sister must have had a nightmare, because I can see her sleeping in my mother's arms with tear tracks on her face, and the world's ugliest cat, which I can't even tolerate his beautiful name is guarding her on the floor. But I can't see Charlotte anywhere.
I got up, it's about time I go hunting. I pressed a kiss on my little sister's forehead before I walk out of the room, sliding on my hunting boots and jacket on the way.
I glance at my sister once again before leaving the room. She seems to be fine in her mother's arms. I almost smiled at that before I went to find Charlotte.
For 10 years, I feel like I have two little sisters, I love Charlotte as much as I love Prim. I loved her since my father showed up here with her 10 years ago, I never complained about having another mouth to feed, it's not that much anyway. ( Although I did complain about having to feed the cat that my little sisters bought home.)
I heard a noise once I enter the living room. I only need two seconds to find my redhead sister curled up on the floor.
" Hey" I say gently and sat down beside her " What are you doing here?"
Charlotte didn't answer, she just sat there silently and cried. Then she must be really scared, I had rarely seen her cry. So I gave her a hug and pulled her close.
No need to ask, I know that she had a nightmare about the reaping. I sat there for a while, I don't normally comfort people, but I do it for my sisters.
" You wanna talk about it?" I asked her.
" Y... your name came out." Charlotte said, burying her face in my chest.
Oh, I was stunned for a while, so she was scared for me? I held her until she stopped shaking, we just sat there for a while, not saying anything, just listen to each other's breathing.
Then I noticed that the sun is starting to come up, and I have to hunt, so I spoke up.
" You want to go hunting with me?" I asked. I know that hunting will cheer her up a bit. Charlotte is a combination between me and Prim. She is normally sweet just like Prim, but sometimes she can be extremely sassy. She normally helps my mother and Prim heal patients, and she also helps me with hunting ( it's based on her emotions on that day.)
Charlotte shook her head and urged me to go, so I leave.
Charlotte's POV.
A bit after noon, I step out of the shower to see that my aunt had laid a dress on my bed.
