My name is Violet.I live in district 11.Tomorrow is The Reaping.Im scared and I don't know what to do.I live on a small farm with one other sister and 2 brothers and my parents.Im 14 years old. "Violet, are you there?"A voice calls me. It's my only friend.Ally(all-ie)"Yea I'm out here."I call back."Where?" she calls out."I jump off the branch from the apple tree. "Come"I follow her the the fence.I look at the forest.Thats where we go but not to far or we might crash into another district.Ally pulls a crate near the fence.She stands on it and jumps.As I stand on the crate,I hear a scream.A Peacekeeper was beating a person for getting to close to the fence.I turn my head and jump.We walk with caution,weapons ready.Ally has a slingshot loaded with a small blade she made.I walk with throwing knives,although I could make do with arrows.A small herd of turkeys is by a little stream.Ally fires her slingshot at one turkey and it falls.The blade is in the main vein.The turkeys go wild and flee.But I throw a knife at one.We pack up our game and leave.I pull a an old crate and near the fence.I look first then jump.Ally repeats. We head home.Our family's share a house.I open the old door our parents and siblings are sitting in the main room,talking.We the game to our mothers.After dinner we head to our room.Theres only 5 rooms.The kitchen,our room,the main/dinning room,my parents room,and Ally's parents room.I lay down on the girls bed,the side closest to the tiny window.I look at the night sky and cry."Violet?Whats wrong?"my little 12 year old sister,Ovieonna says."Nothing go to sleep.I love you"I smile."I love you too."Ovie smilies in return.I turn back to the moon and cry.Not wanting the day of the unexpected to come.I cry myself to sleep.
