The 67th Hunger Games

The Prologue

{Jonathan's POV}

I woke up with a stuffed nose. I hate allergies. I've had them for as long as I can remember. The thing thats sucks is that none of my siblings have them. But I guess it doesn't really bother me that much. The thing that bothered me was having to get up. I'm 18 which means that I can work at the electrical facility about 15 minutes from my house in District 5. I work there with my dad. My younger siblings, Fredrick - 16, and George and Lily - both 9 (twins) all went to school. But work wasn't why I was dreading getting up. It was the reaping. Thinking about the reaping makes my stomach drop. I always think about what would happen if my brother's name was called. I honestly wouldn't know what to do. Unfortunately, I feel like I would just shutdown. Which is what happened this morning....

I heard people screaming as I was putting on my shirt. I looked out the window looking out onto the town square and saw what looked like a riot. I told Fredrick to keep George and Lily inside the house and told my mom I would see what was going on and ran out the door. I saw Peacekeepers everywhere. I saw my best friend Sam from across the square and ran over to him. I asked what was happening and he told me that someone had reported hearing shots fired and everyone had freaked out. I had never seen anything like it before. I lost Sam in the crowd after that. I looked back over at my house and saw Fredrick frantically looking around. That's when I saw saw a Peacekeeper knock him out. I ran over as quickly as I could back over to my house I grabbed the Peacekeeper on his elbow, pulled them towards me and punch them know the face. I punched him twice when I finally let go of him. He got back up, faced me and I froze, just now noticing what I had done. He ran toward me and knocked me out.
