Chapter one: Chosen

     I pushed my red hair out of my pail face and quickly covered it with my trembling hands from the sun that shined through the window as the heat slowly woke me up. I stepped on the wooden floor as my eyes regained it's vision. Now to take a quick shower and get ready for today's arrival from the reaping. I had my new dress set out on my bed and a small comb and hairpin for my mother to brush and put in. My Mother sat downstairs watching the TV for more Information as she folded her cloths. She's the only one I have left. Dad died in an accident after I was born. My mother told me he died after helping a friend with an escape car. After taking a shower and getting dressed. I ran downstairs, looking at my mother. She looked at me like it was the last time we'll ever see each other. A knock at the door made both of our hearts fall. My mother opened the door to see two men in white suits and a helmet on, waiting for me. They lead me into a line with people getting their fingers pricked and pushed them to their line. I stood there, waiting for them to take my blood sample and walk over to where they wanted me to stand. I can't wait to get this over with and start my day off with my friends.
     Everyone gathered around, watching the pictures on the screen from left to right switch. Both showing gruesome pictures of men and women bleeding and fighting for their lives. I never introduced myself, names Sarah. I've never been in the Hunger Games before. But hearing about it, makes my guts turn just a little. My mother, who stood right next to me, was hoping I wouldn't be chosen this year. I fixed my long, dark blue dress and my red hair braided; moved it to the side. I listened to a woman up on the stage shouting. She was about in her twenties, wearing black and gray cloths and her brown hair braided to the side just like mine. I know her, well, everyone knows her. Her names Katniss Everdeen. A young lady who hates to kill people and wants the hunger games to end. But president Snow doesn't like her at all, and wants her dead. But there is a new rule in all districts, saying. 'If anyone dares to go with Katniss Everdeen. They shall be slaughtered in front of there district.'
     My eyes moved to the side, looking at a man in white suits who stared straight at the stage and with a gun pointing directly at me. They weren't aiming, just had their guns down pointing. As Katniss spoke, saying the first females name. I froze, hearing mine. The man next to me noticed me as I shivered with fright. My mother next to me, started to tear up and sob, watching as I walked up on stage. My eyes locked onto Katniss as tears started to rule down my cheek. She turned and spoke another name. "Steven Minecraft." He too froze, looking up at us. The guard pushed him towards the stage, making Steve just a little bit angry. As he entered on the stage, looking down at all the people. I saw his body shake and face turn red. Maybe it's stage fright? We exit, looking back at the people who stared with with emotions. Steven and I sat down at the windows, looking outside as we passed by many different district's. His dark blue eyes locked on a tall building that we had just passed by. The train roared with a halt, making the building disappeared from sight.
     Steve and I walked off, close together, but was stopped by a man standing tall. His black shirt, looking like a tank top but had strings coming down to his hands, and a belt across his stomach with beautiful designs. His pants to were black but with gray lines coming down to his feet. A tattoo with a bleeding heart and an arrow going through it, along with red hair sticking up with white ends. And I mean died red hair. He took both of our hands, and walked over to the elevator. We stood there for a while, but stopped and walked out looking at a large room filled with pictures and fancy chairs. The TV was a flat screen, but touchable. there were two bedrooms, but different. One was mine and another one was Steve's. We both entered, but didn't talk for a while. Not until dinner.
     We both got to know each other, talking and laughing. But we weren't expecting something big to happen. Katniss entered and lead us out of our room, down to meet the rest of the districts.
