Haymitch's Quarter Quell

      At night I had a nightmare it was the Quarter Quell president Snow said something I couldn't really hear what he was saying but I heard something shocking. "Twice as many tributes will be in the Quarter Quell" I woke up scared that I might be called when we're at the reapping, but went back to sleep anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day it was time to announce the Quarter Quell I saw President Snow walk on stage and Panem's anthem played. The 2nd Quarter Quell was coming, and coming fast. Before he read the Quell I started to get worried what if my name was called in the reaping and I was in the Quarter Quell. District twelve has only one victor. Her name was Emily C. When the anthem ends President Snow starts to talk.

"For the second Quarter Quell", he pauses and takes the paper out of the envelope, "Twice as many tributes well be in the Hunger Games". WHAT! Now I have a better chance in the Hunger Games great, just great and guess what my dream came true next I will turn into a dragon and give out pretty flower. Yes I had a dream like that. My brother is freaking out so much he's in tears this is his first games poor kid.

Oh and before I forget my name is Haymitch Abernathy and that's my little brother is Ash Abernathy. I am an unlikable person said everybody except my family and one friend. I don't have any friends.

My mom helps my brother calm down. My father was really good at calming us down. When Ash and I were little are father died, I don't like to talk about it though no one does.

"I'm going to see how Hollie is dealing with this" I said and walked out the door before my mom could stop me. Hollie was my girlfriend she had brown hair and blue eyes and is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I walked the whole way worried if she be crying. She has a greater chance than me to be in the hunger games, her name had been entered a lot and I mean a lot and she's a bit sensitive.

When I came in she had tears in her eyes and her hands in her face I can hear her mother up stairs yelling at her father. “It’s going to be okay" I said walking in. "There's a good chance you won't be in the hunger games".

"Yes I will have a better chance than almost anyone here “she said her voice a little wobbly still crying.

That's when my tone started to change. “So, your just one girl there's still everybody else here and some have a greater chance then you Hollie!" I realized I was starting to scream. “I’m sorry" I said in a small soft voice trying to comfort her, but she just turned away from me and continued crying. Wait why am I so worried about it, it's just two boys and two girls it's not like ten people going up what’s the chance of being us.I mean there's a lot of kids in district 12 and plus some of them has their name entered way more than us. I tell Hollie about it and that help's a bit just a little, but she's still mad at me for yelling at her. I say good bye and kiss her on her cheek and leave not looking back once even if I want to.

Poor girl I think she's just so sad, maybe I can buy her a gift from the hob I’ve been saving up to buy a new gift for her since she's been so depressed lately. At the hob there were men buying alcohol. I would never buy alcohol I mean how addicting can it be. Gross. I’ve been saving up with the help of my mom, Ash, and doing chores for other people and to get money in 12 is really hard and I have had to spend almost all my money to buy food for the family.

Anyway, I saw a box that looked really old and is the color black, I think it used to be brown or something. I bought it anyway and took it to my house. I went immediately to get my tools, which are not actual tools, but there all have plus this is one of the poorest districts in Panem.

I went to make the box more let's say presentable. I had made my own paint a while ago which took me days to make. Especially in 12.I had to use all my paint to make the box perfect. I made it blue with little flowers all over it. She's going to love this she's kind of the girly type. I’ll bring it to her on the day before the reaping.

That night I had a nightmare about me, Ash, Hollie and some girl I can't see, every time I try to focus on her face it disappears then when I look away it comes back. It was the reaping, all are names got picked then we were immediately in the hunger games and I witnessed there death including my mom. "AHHHHHH" I woke up my mom, Ash, and myself with my screaming. My worst nightmare ever' I mean we were all in the hunger games I'll explain more when I'm not freaking out!

"Are you okay" my mom said worried.

"Yes ...it's...it's just a dream" I said still thinking of their death.

"Its' just a dream sweetie, so whatever it is it's not real" she said calming, but a hint of annoyed in it.

"Good night" I said still thinking of the dream. This happens every year bad nightmare at least a week before the reaping and wake up with a terrible terrible nightmare getting worst, but this year there was something different.

I felt like a wreck the next morning, but I have to finish Hollie's present. I went to the meadow to pick some flowers and put it in the box. Then I wrapped a red ribbon I found at my house, around in a box. Hollie is going to love this.

I decide I'm going to give it to her before the reaping so she'll worry less. I smile to myself and walk back home .You know I think I did pretty good not to brag or anything.
