"Don't be scared, don't think that Lillian, you're only thirteen, you wont be picked." my big sister Rebecca scolds at me as she tightens my pink and blue dress, my bright red hair keeps getting in her face. "but what if i do get reaped, would you volunteer for me?"

"of course, of course i would besides, you won't be picked anyway now stop getting my hopes up!"

"hey, shut up! what if you got reaped, what would you do?"

"i would run away and live in the woods now let's go!

Today is reaping day for the first quarter quell since the beginning of the hunger games. The trick with these is they put a sick twist to the games to make it harder for the tribute. She picks me up by my under arms and collects my family. My little sister Steffany who is four and my big brother Matthew who is a twin to Bec, they are both seventeen. We all walked to the reaping and I prayed as we took our places. The yellow bushy haired escort which I think her name is Skilla yelled out the usual-

"Welcome, welcome to the twenty fifth anual hunger games! The ladies always go first, just for this quell let's let the gentilmen go first." it doesn't take long for her to draw the name, she reads it.

"The male tribute for district eleven is... Bodey Kite."

He's fifteen, we don't know each other but I think he knows may name. We bump into each other once in awhile though. She switches sides to the girls and draws a name.

"The female tribute for district eleven is... Lillian Cave."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

I looked at my sister, she stood up, opened her mouth, closed her eyes and.. sat back down. "Well come here dear." Skilla said to me.

The peacekeepers shoved me up on stage and I looked at Bodey then Rebecca, she cupped her face in her hands and she was crying. She looked up and mouthed "I'm so sorry." After the reaping we get to talk for three minutes, I couldn't look at her.

"How could you! I thought you were my sister, Rebecca! They're gonna kill me! And,and now it's the quell and it's gonna be even worse! I'd be lucky if I get a few sponsors! I hate-"

"Please Lillian!" she screeched at me.

"... just go, i never want to see you again, oh wait I won't! Go, just... go."

We had two minutes left and there was still Matthew and Steffany."I'm sorry."

"what for?" asked Matthew. I was on my knees now.

"For everything, when Steff was born and our parents died I didn't help anything or anyone, i just made life harder. Maybe me leaving will be good... you know I love you guys."

"We love you to." says Steffany, lying on her back and looking up to look at my face, she cups her hands on my cheeks and kisses me on the forehead.

"Why do you have to go?"

"Because the Capitol said so. Take care of yourself okay Steff."

"Okay."The peacekeeper came in.

"One minute." I stand up and hug Steffany and then hug Matthew.

"Matt, take care of Steff and... Becc."

"i will, don't worry."

I try to say something so I say " I wonder what they are gonna do for the twist....You guys are the most important thing in my life." I try to force out a smile. "well if it's forest I'll know the fruits and ...stuff, and I-"

"times up."the peacekeepers came in and dragged away Matthew and Steffany.

"No, time can't be up! There's still so much! PLEASE! STOP! WAIT, i have one more thing to say!'' I couldn't believe the peacekeepers stopped, maybe they do have a heart.''You guys are the most important thing in my life, I know i already said it, but i said it because its true, so no matter what happens in the arena, remember... I'm always me so I'll always love you. even Becc. '' I swear I heard one of the peacekeepers say, under his breath''i hate this job.'' And then dragged them away. After I heard Steffany screaming''I want to go with her! she can't leave!'' but the peacekeepers made me go straight to the train.

''Hello dear, my name is Skya, I'm your escourt.'' Skya, that was a much prettier name than skilla. I guess her clothes make sence now. She always wears a baby blue dress with small puffy white clouds. Her face is pretty but she wears to much eyeliner and she wears blue nailpolish with tiny lightning bolts. Her hair is puffy and yellow. I'm not sure what thats about.

"hi...Skya."

"you can call me Sky.. or Ah" she seemed a little weird but she was friendly, suddenly the tv turned on and everyone stared at it.

A man, I think it was President Snow started to talk.

"To show that if you don't want the Capitol to rule and you don't need our help, the first Quarter Quell of the hunger games is... There will be no sponsors during the games." I heard a mix of moans, groans and screams, then i thought.

 'oh... no. Oh... my gosh. OH... PLEASE HELP! The sponcers were the only thing I had to survive... unless it was forest, that would save me... WAIT, he said, during the games. I'm not sure how that will help but it will be important.'

"BODEY, BODEY  where ARE you?!? BODEY!" I was curled up in a ball, like a kitten meowing for it's mother, I was a kitten meowing for a friend to protect me. then i started running. My running was the fastest in class- that was another advantage.

"Bodey... where are you?" I looked up then tripped on my dress landing face first. all i saw was pink, blue, my red hair and... Bodey. Then black. "bodey, Bodey why-why is he on the ceiling!" I open my eyes and i'm in the hospital.

"Bodey?" All of a sudden I feel aching pains in my ribs and my forehead, a salty tear running down my face.

"Bodey?"
