I was 15, and this was the last time I would be entered in the draw for hunger games.(don't actually know that.)I had been lucky so far, I hadn't been in the hunger games, but aswell as being my last draw it was my little brother Isaacs first. So not only was I nervous for me I was nervous for him to. Only 1 boy and 1 girl would be picked from twelve districts and I was in district 2. They read out the boy competitor first. I held my breath. "ISAAC GEORGE LARSSEN" My heart stopped. Then, someone stood up, but the thing is, it was a bacca, a hybrid. "Ill take his place" He said confidently. Isaac sat down and the bacca stood on the stage. Next was the girls.I held my breath."AMBER LAVENDER REED" I stood up, there was no way in hell I was letting her go. "I volunteer." I said sounding braver than I felt. "WE HAVE OUR COMPETITORS!" Boomed the voice. A young woman-in her mid twenties- came up to me and the bacca and said "You will be sleeping in a hotel room, unfortunately our expenses could not afford 2 rooms so you will have 1 room with separate beds. I will have see you here at 6 o clock sharp tomorrow morning."

I walked home slowly, wondering how my parents would react. They'd make me pull out. I can't go home. Instead I decided to follow the bacca. He was heading for the snow biome in which, was a massive tree. It began to rain. As we got closer I realised there was an opening in the tree. Wow. The bacca walked into his house and put down 1 wood block and was about to place the second when he saw me, standing drenched in rain. He broke the block and I stood still. "Aren't you coming in?" He asked cocking his head to the side. I nodded and stepped in. My mouth dropped. It was amazing, there was a chest at the centre, a bed to the right and a bed to the left. "What about your parents?" I asked. "They live in a different district. They exiled me." He muttered. "Sorry" I said sheepishly. "Its ok. What's your name?" He asked politely. '"I'm eve." I said sitting down on the bed. "Jerome" he said holding out his paw. I shook it then said "We should get some sleep."

"Yea" he replied. He lay down on the bed and I did the same cuddling the blankets to keep warm. It was freezing.

I lay down and waited until she did to. I rolled over and saw she was shivering. "Cold?" I asked.

"N-no" She whispered her teeth chattering. Standing up I walked over and put my arms around her. My bacca fur is perfect for heat. She snuggled in then closed her eyes. Not long after I fell into a deep dreamless sleep.

I shivered and I heard Jerome say "Cold?" Not wanting to hurt his feelings I said "N-no" My chattering teeth betrayed me. God Damn! I heard a swish and the somethingay down on the bed. It was Jerome. I snuggled into him and his bacca fur was wonderful and soft. I shivered. Not because of cold. But because of something else I refused to admit to myself.
