There I was. A reflection in the mirror, with long blond hair and blue eyes like crystals. I live in district 1. I'm, getting ready for the reaping by brushing my hair, after putting on a silver dress and sparkling flats. I can't help thinking I'll be picked to go to the hunger games.
"Abby, I don't wanna be picked" cried my sister Kara
"You've survived two years, you'll be FINE!" I replied.
"But but I I I I put my name in four times, for food!" said Kara
"WHAT!" I scream.
" I had to!" Snaps Kara.
"Come on girls" my dad shouts. Me and Kara file out of the house, but I give her one last dirty look before leaving. I go stand with the 17 year olds and Kara goes with the 14 year olds. I get my finger pricked and wait. Finally a plump woman with neon blue hair and an orange dress appear on stage.
"Hello, hello, before we begin I will explain the rules of the Quarter Quill. The new rules are each mentor will only train one tribute. The other tribute is on their own, the other is all ages between 8 and 31 will be reaped for the games! Now that that is over we may begin. Ladies first!"
SHIMER MCLONLAY
I new the name as one of Kara's best friends.
"I volunteer as tribute" Kara's voice squeaked.
No I thought, NO!
"NO!" I screamed as I pushed Kara back. The peace keepers came but I shouted
"I volunteer I volunteer as tribute!" The plump woman looked taken back, but my dad keep Kara at bay when the peace keepers took me up on to the stage.
"What is your name dear?" Asked the plump woman
"Abigail knightly" I replied loudly
"Ok then, time for the men!"
JAMES MARLY
A short boy with short dirty blonde hair with electric blue eyes was taken to the stage by peace keepers. We were both taken to little rooms to say good buy to family and friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I get quinsy and sweaty in my room but finally my dad and Kara come. Kara apologized and I excepted. We all start to cry and Kara makes me promise not to die. When there time is up my friends Dillon and Sparkle wish me luck. Then I'm startled to see Shimer come in and hug me while she is crying. I try to make her calm down but she did not listen. Finally the peace keepers take me and James away to the train.
