Reaping Day (Districts 5 to 8)

District 5

An avian stood in front of the podium with his age group, waiting for the Reaping to start. The feathers on his black raven wings quivered with nervousness. Although he has amazing aim and throwing skills, he didn't want to participate in the Games.

A young boy stood not far away from the avian. His red hair got brushed past by the wind as his green eyes stared hardly at the stage, determined not to get Reaped.

The two boys looked quietly at the platform, waiting for the Reaping to start. They knew that at some point, they were going to get Reaped, so they felt ready for it to come.

A female fox mutant swept onto the stage. In fact, she wasn't a fox mutant at all. She was a powerful sorceress. She wore a black cloak that touched the ground, but she didn't care. Her face was twisted into a sly smirk, and she gripped the microphone.

"Hello, everybody!" she announced, but there's no reply from any of the people. Rolling her eyes, she continued. "My name's Margaret Fox. Today's your lucky day! Why? Because I get to pick two lucky tributes to participate in the 57th Hunger Games!" she sneered, almost happily. "Hmm, let's see who's first."

Dropping her hand into the glass ball, she picked up two slips of paper. Unfolding them, she read the first name out.

"Ashton Torrens!" she called out, nice and loud.

The avian stepped forward to take his place on the podium.

"Lovely!" Margaret smiled, with a cold and harsh grin plastered to her face. "And the next tribute is... Caleb Shelton!" she exclaimed.

The young boy walked up to the podium and stood beside Margaret silently.

"Fantastic! The tributes for the 57th Hunger Games are Ashton Torrens and Caleb Shelton!" The sorceress grinned, showing a sickly, twisted smile. "Let the fun begin."

District 6

A young teenage girl no older than the age of 14 stood quietly with her age group as she waited for the Reaping to begin. She knew that this year they won't pick her, and she's sure of it.

Her wavy brown hair was braided and her pale pink dress brought out the color of her light grey eyes. Her fingers travelled up to the birthmark on her face, and she looked up to the platform.

Kayla Smith flapped her blue dragon wings a little, anxiously waiting for the ceremony to start. She didn't like the ceremony, even though she didn't get picked before. Her electric blue, slitted eyes travelled to the other citizens of District 6 as she played with her hair casually.

She did not like the idea of killing other kids from other districts that are around her age as well. She wanted to have peace and wondered why there had to be the Hunger Games. Immediately, the answer popped up in her head. It was for the people in the Capitol. And they wanted entertainment.

A beefy tiger mutant walked to the stage. He wore a set of gear with lots of weapons and bullets. An eye patch covered his left eye, and a part of his right ear was chipped off.

"Attention, District 6. I am Tigerclaw. I am here to announce the tributes for the Hunger Games," he announces, his voice low and smooth. "Let's start."

Tigerclaw moved to the glass ball, sticking his hand in and retrieving two slips of paper. Opening one, he read it out. "Olivia Norrens," he said, looking out to the crowd.

Olivia's eyes widened, and she stumbled back. This was not what she had expected. She made her way to the platform, standing beside the escort.

He read the second name out. "Kayla Smith."
