Chapter 2

"I love you, guys. I promise I'll come back, don't worry." I comfort mom and my two little sisters. "Don't worry, Mother. I promise ill com home, ok? Same with Jed." I say. She hugs me. Tight. "Don't worry mother, i won't get reaped." I tell her. She smiles, as I take my brothers hand. "I'll meet you after ok?" I say. "Ok." She says. I watch mom leave holding both of my little sisters hands, while I'm holding my brothers. "I'm scared, Lily! What happens...if..." I know what he's going to say but I put a finger to his lips. "Shhhh.. Don't worry Jed, you won't get reaped. I know. You just won't. And neither will I. When everything is over Ill find you with the other kids in te boys section ok?" I ask. "Ok. I love you Lily." He says. I hug him once more and watch him leave to the boys section, as I go my own way.
"Welcome, welcome and happy hunger games!" This happens every year we watch this dumb video o how the hunger games was created and she welcomes us. "Now, ladies first." She says, as we all watch her hand search for that one name. When I hear it's not my name, I sigh. But then I see the girl. She only has one leg. One leg....one leg.....and no ones volunteering for this girl?!! How selfish, and I thought Jed was the only one, how does she live? I see though she has a smart family, they attached a chunk of wood and made it into a a foot and ankle at the end for her to limp on. She's never going to make this. Never. "Wait!! Wait!!" I tell and get out there I jump in front of the girl before peace keepers could touch me and scream out "No! I volunteer!! I volunteer!!!!" I hug the little girl. She's crying and gives me a hug. "Thank you..thank you...!!" She weeps. "It's ok, sweetie it's ok. Find your family ok? Find your family! It's ok!" I say as her father comes to pick her up. As he does he looks at me, and mouths thank you, with tears falling from his eyes. "I see, we have a volunteer!" I hear the lady say. I walk up and see my little sisters almost to tears, as my mother is as well. "What is your name, my brave girl?" The lady asks. "Lily...Lillian Trescott"
"Oh, wonderful! Let's all give a big round to Lillian Trescott!!" She lightly claps. While everyone I see shows the sign of the rebellion. A simple hand up with three fingers. "Now, for the lovely boys!" She says.
"Jedediah Trescott!" The lady brightly says. No. Not Jed...!! No!
"No! No! Please!" I start to yell. But then all of the sudden, I hear a familiar voice shout from the boys' section. "I volunteer!" He brightly says.
