The Bionic Hunger Games

The Reaping

Chapter 1 - The Reaping
•Bree's POV•
Although I don't want to be chosen, I put my name in more times for food. My family needs it. If I let them suffer anymore, I would feel like a total mean person. I don't care if I am picked. I just want my family to be safe. Especially Chase.
I have had a crush on Chase for years, and I don't think he notices. He does act nervous and weird around me sometimes. Could he like me back? We are practically siblings, so I have no idea if Mr. Davenport would approve. He'd freak out if we
were dating. Before the reaping, I was very nervous. What if Adam or Chase was picked? What if I was picked? Many thoughts ran through my mind.
When we got to the reaping, we got in line. This lady took a little bit of my blood and put it on a paper, then scanned it with something weird. Then she said, "Next." And I went to find Adam & Chase. When they were getting ready to start, I got nervous. I couldn't find Chase or Adam. But before I could move, a lady came on the speaker. "Welcome, Welcome! Happy Hunger Games! Now let's get right down into it! As usual, ladies first," She said. She picked a name, and it was probably mine. "Bree Davenport." She said popping the "T" in Davenport. Ugh! Did it have to be mine? No one volunteered. I walked up slowly. I got up on stage as the lady said "And now, for the boys," she walked over to the bowl with Adam & Chase's name inside. She walks to the microphone and says "Dylan Benson" I saw Adam, Chase, Leo and Davenport's faces. Chase walked up to the peace keepers. They pushed him back but he pushed them away. "I volunteer as tribute." No. No. No. No. No. No. NO! Chase cannot die. A tear rolled down my cheek. Maybe he does like me. I wiped it away quickly as he came on stage. I looked at him. He looked at me. "Our Tributes from district 12!" She said. "Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor." She said. We went inside.
I was put in a room. I saw Adam & Leo come in. "Big D is visiting Chase." Leo said. "Are you ok?" I replied back, "yeah. I'm gonna miss you guys though." I sniffled. Adam and Leo hugged me. "Please, don't let them starve. Feed them, please." I said. "Ok. We won't let them starve." Adam said. "I can't believe you were picked!" Leo said. "Me too!" Adam said. "Yeah. I can believe it because I secretly been putting my name in more times for food." I said with confidence. Before Adam or Leo could say anything, the peacekeepers took them away. Mr. Davenport walked in. "Are you ok?" Mr. Davenport asked. "Yeah." I replied. "You know how to hunt and kill without your chip. You'll be fine. Trust me." Mr. Davenport told me. "Ok. But one of us will die. Either me or Chase will have to die," I said. "One comes out." "I know." Mr. Davenport said. He hugged me. "Good luck." Mr. Davenport said as he kissed me on the head. Then the peacekeepers dragged him away.
