Finch Crossley an untold story

Chapter 1 My Reaping

I woke up and glimpsed at the sunlight filtering in through the curtains in our tiny wooden house. I stretch my arms and slowly, very slowly, step out of the tiny bed I share with my two younger siblings. We have to share, many people do, we will never be anywhere as rich as the Capitol. The hard wooden floor creaks as I walk across it and into the kitchen, I smell the stew boiling and revulting, but edible chopped up dogmeat being cooked. "It's about time you got up Finch, you know you can't try and sleep through today, well, unless you want to become an a vox at least." I hear my older brother Stone try to joke, but no one's laughing, not one out of six family members. Not even Rosette, who ridiculously laughs at anything, even giggles. Of course she didn't, no one wants to smile on the day of the Reaping. My name is Finch Crossley, and I live in the average, but powerful district 5. I stare out our cracking window and watch as the peacekeepers march in rows towards the central garden. " Finch!" My mother snaps me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to our dark, worn down kitchen." Are you listening? I asked you to help Rosette and Ashen get ready for the Reaping! " Rosette,Ashen, they are the two siblings I mentioned  earlier, their twins, both twelve with strawberry blonde hair and large noses. Yes Ashen is a boy, but the only difference I've found between them is that man, Rosette has at least fifty freckles! But even though they are always begging for more food, making are family lose our sanity, they are the light of my life and I couldn't bear to lose one, or both of them if they got reaped. They wouldn't stand a chance at this age.

I guide them into our tiny bedroom and help them change into their Reaping clothes she laid on our bed. When we walk back into the kitchen, the entire family complements them on their outfits as they nibble on the wild dog and sip the steaming breakfast stew. "You look beautiful.." I tell Rosette as I stare at her small yellow dress and her hair pulled into a  high ponytail. "Thanks...." She manages. I can tell she's terrified. " Finch..." She clutches my hand nervously. I softly stroke her hair and pull her into a hug. " No, Rosette, none of us will get picked. You understand Me?!" I tell her sternly but kindly. She nods.

Everyone gasps when Stone and I change into our Reaping outfits. "You look beautiful..." Ashen tells me. I smile and clutch his hand as our family begins to walk to the central garden. I am wearing a yellow blouse and an even paler yellow skirt. District 5 is large, very large. Is has a grand population of 17 000 people. Our districts in charge of electricity. When Stone turned 18 last month, he began to work at the huge dam that pours water into the valley. Ever since we've had a bit more to spare and eat, a big difference to us. As the 17 000 people cover the cobblestone paths of the garden, we all hush as our escort, Mayerta Scherdea priances onto the stage. She lightly taps the microphone in front of her, it echos around the garden. "Welcome children!" She squeaks." Happy hunger games! And..... may the odds be ever in your favour. Now we shall view a special video for you, all the way from the capitol!! We shall watch it." Everyone turns toward the giant screen on the stage. The video talks about the history of panel,  the dark ages,  and how a rule was made that each district shall offer one boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to fight to the death in the hunger games, the Victor bathed in riches.  I roll my eyes at the stupidity of it all. When the screen goes black, Mayerta Walks over to the two glass bowls full of the names of us children standing here today. The chance of my name being called was around 10 in 9000, but I erased that though from my head as she stuck her hand in the bowl. Her hand grasps a slip and when she announces it, my heart plummeted into my stomach.
"This year's district 5 female tribute is............... Finch Crossley!"

And then I heard Rosettes scream
