Kattniss Everdeen's diary

Prim Rosé Everdeen! I hear myself scream, I volunteer, I volunteer as tribute, but I do not believe my words. Then i see the three three fingers." May the odds be ever in your favor",Effie says in a cheerful voice. She makes it sound like such an honor. I feel the ruff hands pulling me away from Gale as we say good bye. I feel the tear ever so slowly finding it's way to my chin and drips off as he closes the door that separates me from Gale.In the train I feel the warm bread slowly sliding down my esophagus and into my stomach, so rich and delectable. Once in the training center I hear the grunt of a fellow tribute holding a broken wrist.I smell the perspiration coming off the beautiful children of loving mothers who pray every night that there babies will come home alive, but I know that if I want to see home again I will have to kill everyone of them.Now I am on the stage with Cesar Flickerman he calls me the girl on fire and I'm twirling round and round. I feel the heat rise from the dress and hit me in the face right about the same time I realize that the whole nation can see me. I sit down and the furry chair surrounds me and I relax. I'm in the arena now. I fell in the river and washed away with the current was the burning sensation in my thigh. And again I'm running for my life. I hear my feet hard against the wood's ground, stomp, stomp, stomp. I see the dead body smelling of must and death so, I keep running. Then I hear the boom of the cannon ring through my ears marking the end of another fallen tribute I hear it for hours and I wonder whose next. I feel a shaking sensation and know the end of me is near.Then I hear Prim's voice barley audible saying ,"Kattniss it's time for the reaping get up!" Everything was a dream. Now, I really hear Effie calling Prim Rosé Everdeen. Then, I know my nightmare has just begun.
