Hunger Games - I Volunteer!

we watched a film about what happened in the war and how the hunger games came to be.

"i just love that" Effie spoke "now the time has come to select one courageous you man and Woman for the honour of representing district 12 in the 74th Annual Hunger Games as usual...ladies first" she toddled to the bowls with the girls names first and picked one out i grasped onto Kat's hand and she opened up and spoke the name i never wanted to hear.

"Primrose Everdeen" NO! not her anyone but her me and Kat left out place.

"Prim" "Rosie" me and Kat shrieked but we were held back by the peacemakers.

"i volunteer" both of us repeated

"well is seems we have two volunteers which one will it be" i turned and grabbed Kat

"I'll go you take Rosie okay"

"no Lils you can't no" she pleaded

"i can and i will." i hugged her then went and hugged Rosie.

"Lilly no! Lilly" Rory and Gale came out i looked back at them and smiled weakly before slowly making my way up to the stage

" well a surprising turn of events District 12 very first Volunteer. bring her up." i walked up the stairs and Effie gripped my arm taking me to the microphone.

"what's your name dear." i took a deep breath.

"Lilly Hawthorne" i said

"well let's give a round of applause for our very first volunteer" she clapped while everyone else saluted me.

"now for the boys" i heard her leave for the bowl and i looked around for my family. i saw them being consoled by the Everdeen.

"Peeta Mellark" i took a intake of breath i knew Peeta he...he was like my hero. Peeta helped me a while back when i collapsed outside the bakery he helped me back to health and told my family. i saw him come up the stairs and was guided by Effie.

"and here we have them our tributes from district 12. shake hands" i turned to him and we shook hands.

"Happy Hunger games. and may the odds be ever in your favour" we scurried inside and brought to separate rooms. i looked out onto the square and the door opened.

"Lilly" i couched down and scooped up Posy who buried he head in my neck.

"Lily what were you thinking how could you be so stupid" Gale frowned

"stop it Gale" Mum hugged me then i hugged Rory and Vick. i put Posy down.

"now you three listen to me. you have to be the best don't trade anything for having your name put in the bowl. look after one another and help Mom as best you can and remember no matter what happens i will always love you and be with you. okay2 they nodded and i kissed their heads i took Gale to a corner.

"we have never seen eye to eye but i had to do this Rosie is like a sister to me and she cannot be sacrificed for this stupid game."

"i know but promise me something." he cupped my cheek. "win this for us please Lilly" i hugged him

"I'll try"

"times up" they were dragged out and i told them everything was going to be okay. i sighed sitting down when the door opened again Katniss and  Rosie came in.

"Lilly why did you do that why?" she asked

"because you are like another sister to me an i protect the ones i care about" i hugged her an looked up at Kat who held out her hand in it was a pin.

"it's a Mocking jay for good luck." i took it and pinned it on.

" thank you" i gripped her tight before it was time for her to be taken away. i was then lead to a car which took us to a train with amazing decor i was in awe.
