I stood outside waiting for her to choose the tributes for the 74th annual Hunger Games.
"Ladies first!" she exclaimed happily. She was far too happy about death. I wonder if she's ever been in the Hunger Games, I thought. Maybe then she'll know how it feels.
She reached into the bowl.
Yes...
Her hand was grasping the paper.
Yes.
She pulled it out.
Yes!
"Primrose Everdeen"
YES!
I watched as Prim looked around. I waited for Katniss to take her place. Just as planned, Katniss ran up to the stage, screaming, "I VOLUNTEER!"
Effie walked over to the other bowl, after greeting Katniss politely.
She pulled out another slip of paper. "Peeta Mellark!"
I watched as a young male walked up to her. He shook her hand and walked onto the stage with Katniss.
After that, they went into a large building, and the doors slammed shut. Katniss was finally gone.
