"Bow ready, do you see that doe there?, steady, aim, fire!" My mother whispered. I had shot the doe so fast, I managed to kill a bird as well before my mother could say "Congratulations".

My mother and I just finished getting home after selling the meat to Greasy Sae when I found my brother Jay come in with my sister. And they were fighting. AGAIN.

This might be a good time to introduce me and my family:

First there's me. My name is Katna Primrose Mellark. My aunt (or my mom's sister) died fighting for her life in the 77th annual Hunger games when she was 15, so that's why Primrose is my middle name.

Next is my mother, Katniss Mellark. Her maiden name was Everdeen, but President Snow, who died a few years ago, forced her and my father to marry. At first she hated the idea, but now that she has what she calls "her blossoms" (My siblings and I), she enjoys her life a lot more now. And let's not forget which of her traits and skills each child got.

I got her survival and archery skills (so, the intelligence really)

My brother and sister both got the hot-headed part, which is why they fight so much.(Oh, and my sister also got some strength from her too.)

Jay Sky Mellark is named after the Mockingjay, which symbolizes the short rebellion that had happened years ago, in the time of the 75th annual Hunger games.

My sister is named Rue Dalila Mellark. She can sure get tough when she's mad, but she is still really nice if you know what she is like. She was named after Rue, a 12 year old girl that was my mother's allie in the 74th annual hunger games till' her demise.

Last but definitely not least is my father, Peeta Mellark. He is the strongest, most creative man I've ever met. He had a crush on my mother since grade school. And now that he is married to her, almost every day he says that he is the luckiest man in the universe.(Whatever is outside of Panem, I suppose?) I received his amazing talent of art/camouflage, Jay got his strength, and Rue....hmm....I don't know what she got, but maybe soon.

Anyway, back to the story.

So, Jay and Rue were fighting over which one of them was stronger again, which my mother stopped before things could get "serious" as my mom says.

"Where is your father?" my mother asked my siblings simply. They shrugged as my father burst through the door, looking like a brightly coloured patch-work outfit. I couldn't help but giggle as my dad waddled in(because the paint started to dry) and sat in a chair at the table, which made a SQUISH! sound.

"These two are hopeless!" my father said, gesturing to my brother and sister. "I told them to paint me to look like grass and moss. This is not grass and moss, this is a KINDERGARTEN SPLATTER-PAINTING PROJECT!"   My mother looked at him and replied, "Great. Now can you get up and have a shower or something before you ruin that chair? That's mahogany." 

"Oh whatever." Said my dad laughing at my mother's remark. "No. I'm being serious. That is a genuine mahogany dining set, and your ruining it." retorted my mom. My father rolled his eyes, got out of his spot, and went to wash up.

"So, who's ready for the reaping?" my mother asked. "We are!" Rue and Jay quickly answered. "What about you, Katna?" my mom anxiously asked me. "I.....I....am going to bed, it's getting late."

The rest of the night I had bad dreams of people like Aunt Prim or Rue from district 11, getting reaped and dying.

***The Next Morning***

I woke up to the smell of eggs,toast,ham, and milk for breakfast. After I ate a silent meal with my family, I went digging through the closet in my room and found a beautiful red,orange, and yellow dress that made the look as if it was almost on fire. "You look beautiful." my mother said, pinning the Mockingjay pin to my dress. "IT'S TIME TO GO!" Jay yelled as he marched proudly out the door, Rue closely following. "Good luck." My mom and dad kissed my head and sent me off to the square.

"Hello district 12! I am Aqua Trinket, the daughter of Effie who had the honor of picking the tributes......" I ignored the speeches and the video until... "Ladies first." Aqua said confidently as she reached into the bowl and lightly plucked out a name like one of her stray eyebrow hairs, unfolded the paper, and clearly read, "Katna Mellark." I should have known, I thought to myself as I walked up to the stage. "Any volunteers?" Aqua asked. Obviously, no one said a word or raised a hand.

All I could think of was, I'm as good as dead.
