The 13th annual hunger games

District 11-Reaping

Mayflower Phenixs P.O.V

I sit in the small hut I call my home and wait for the reaping to begin. Ilook at my 13 year old sister curled up in a tight ball, she's the only one I'd volunteer for. Her name's in twice, nessecary for 13 year olds. My names in ther atleast 36 times,5 nessecary for every 16 year old and 31 for tesserae over the years. Even though my sisters old enough now I don't let her take tesserae, she can't risk it. I put on my plain gray skirt and white t-shir, Do my black hair in a high ponytail and walk out of my room. Isee my sister sitting in a similar out fit to me, black skirt and gray top. We get up and leve for the reaping.

Once we check in I take Atla to the 13 year old section the walk to the 16 year old section. We say hi to the others around us and wait for the reaping to begin. "Welcome, welcome, to the 13th annual hunger games, and may thee odds be ever in your favour." I look at our escort, she wears a bright pink top with the neckline a bit too low and a black pencil skirt, fancy. "Our lucky Female tribute is, Atla Phenix" she say. wothout thinking I yell "I volunteer!!" The people turn to look at me with surprised expressions. Atla turns around hugs me and runs to find our mother. "Well, d11s first volunteer, what's your name?" She asks. I decide to go for the whole career angle. "Mayflower Phenix, and I'm gonna win this thing!" I yell. "So that was your sister"She asks. "Yes" I say briskly. "OUr lucky male tribute is...."

Jack Tams P.O.V.

I'm dead nervous. Some people, districts 1,2, and 4, look for ward to this day. Most other people in other districts hate it. Ther's atleast one person from every non-career district that actually enjow the games. The one person in my district is Casey Anderson, she's 7 and plans on volunteering when she's either 12 or 16. I'm normal person that hates the games. My names in ther 25 times, 5 nessecary for every 15 year old and 20 for tesserae over the years. I put on an itchy white top and black dress pants then leave for the reaping.

I stand with the other 15 year olds and wait for our escort to come and announce the 2 'lucky' as they call it tributes. OUr escort some lady in odd clothes gets on stage and begins with the girls name. It's a 13 year old named Atla Phenix. Some girl, her sister, volunteers. That's a shock to me. I see Casey looking furious, shee wanted to be d11 first ever volunteer. "Our lucky male tribute is.." Shee walks over to the bowl and picks a name, "Jack tams" I'm shocked and frozen. It can't be me, there was thousands of people snd it had to be me?! I walk up trying to look confident, I hope it works. "How old are you ?" She asks"15" i sya quickly. She tells us to shake hands and we do. Then they take us to the last place I'll see my friends and family.
