I was 11 years old when I was sent to the districts for rebelling against my father, coriolanus snow. Though I wouldn't call it rebelling,just simply warning district 13.That same night after district 13 was destroyed, I got sent to district 4.

I was aware their would be some type of punishment but I was just hoping it wouldn't be to extreme lengths.I knew my father was a horrible person. I'm glad I got away from him.

I am currently sixteen years of age and it's reaping day.On reaping day both genders have specific requirements of outfits to wear to represent their district. All the woman including me wear a light blue dress. Where as the men black shorts and a navy blue top with the district 4 logo on.

I walk up to the check in and they prick my finger, drawing small amounts of blood. I wince as they stamp by finger onto the book. I then walk away and follow the other woman. Once everyone is checked in, the reaping begins.

Our mayor takes the stage, front and centre. "Welcome, welcome. To the 65th annual hunger games! May the odds be ever if your favor!" She says into the screechy microphone, with a very chirpy voice and a wide smile on her face.

How could anyone be happy about literal children fighting to their death...?It makes me sick to my stomach just by thinking about it.

Everyone stays silent and watches the stage carefully. "As usual, ladies first."She exclaims, reaching her hand into the empty fishbowl. She swirls her hand around for suspense before fishing a piece of paper out.

She pauses,increasing the suspense. It was a very intense silence. It was a day every dread. The day everyone had to prepare themselves to be chosen to fight till the end of their life.

"Our first district 4 tribute is... Aurelia snow!" She says loudly. Everyone turns to look at me and I freeze for a moment.

I then reluctantly take smalls steps up to the stage, where peacekeepers led me up the steps. I'm now on the stage, infront of everyone. My heart was beating so fast. I was terrified but the Capitol would only gain from my fear,so I simply hid it.

"And last but definitely not least, our male tribute." She put her hand back into the bowl and pulled out another name.

"Our male tribute for the 65th hunger games is...Finnick odair." She exclaimed. Silence hit the area again. I saw a blonde boy walk up onto the stage. We were forced to shake hands. We both glanced at eachother before our hands fell to our sides and my eyes to the floor.

Then we both have two peacekeepers each grab us by the arms and lead us away into the building...
