The fear of being chosen suddenly overwhelms me as I stop. Katniss pulls me over to the side and starts talking about how they need your blood and that she'll see after the reaping but I'm not really listening so I  simply nod. She stands up and walks with the other 16 year olds. My mind snaps back into place and I walk with the 12 year olds to a desk with a grumpy looking lady behind.

'next' she saids 'Next!' I pull out my finger and she pricks it and press the finger into a little machine and calls out next. I move along to where all the other 12 year olds are going and wait.

After everyone is standing ready, a lady with lots of make up and fancy clothes comes on the stage. 'welcome to the 74th hunger games, and may the odds be ever in your favour and here is a very special video from the capitol itself. A tune so familiar to be head plays and the video starts. Katniss has told me many times about this video so I know it by heart.

When the video ends, the lady starts speaking.

'I just love that, don't you?' She starts moving over to the big glass jar with all the girls names from district 12. 'As always ladies first' She puts her hand into the ball and pulls a name out.

This name could be anyones, Katnisses, Madge maybe even someone a don't know.

But its not anyone of those names.

It's mine
