The 13th annual hunger games

District 12- Reaping

Petunia Denses P.O.V.

I sit in bed and think. About how it's my first reaping, how it's my cousin Forls 6th time. If we both get picked I'll be so scared, but a bit happy I have someone going with me. But I obviously don't want that to happen. I get up from the bed I share with my 3 year old babysister and walk out of the hut. I look around at the streets that are filled with people. On normal reaping days most people stay inside until the reaping but today people are buzzing getting stuff for the celebration at the end of the reaping. The celebration is for people whos children weren't picked. I live close to the market so I only walk 3 steps from my house to there. I walk back into the house and see my parents eating breakfast. I normally hunt with bow and arrow or knives. I eat some rabbit and go get dressed. I do my hair in my signature braid with no tie at the top put on a white skirt and pale yellow top and leave for the reaping.

I stand with all the other nervous 12 year olds and wait for the reaping to begin. Our escort Picasso Blanch gets on stge and begins. "Hello, hello. Welcome to the district 12 reaping for the 13th annual hunger games. Before we begin this year we aren't allowing volunteers in this district." She didn't say why and they didn't have to. D12 never has volunteers. "Our lucky female tribute is Petunia Dense" Someone please volunteer! Stupid rule. I walk up and standon stage. I see my parents crying and my cousin Forls face looking very red."Our lucky Male tribute is...."

Forl Denses P.O.V.

I walk around d12 and wait for the reaping to begin. I say hi to a few peacekeepers who nod back. In this district peacekeepers are much nicer. It's my cousin, petunias, first reaping and i don't want her getting picked. I look past the supossedly electricuted fence and think how i sneak in there everyday with petunia, how we could be killed. But we bothe need to provide for or families. If I go and die she'll provide for my family, if she dies I'll provide for her family. I don't like either of those options. I put on cream coloured pants and a white t-shirt and leave for the reaping.

I stand with the other 17 year old guys and wait for what could be the wprst day of my life. Since todays my cousins first reaping I'm actually gonnna pay attention to the girls this year. "Hello, hello. Welcome to the d12 reaping for the 13th annual hunger games. Before we start we aren't allowing volunteers in this district" As if we would have any."Our lucky female tribute is Petunia dense" My face turns as red as a tomato. It can't be her her name ws in one! I take all the tesserae in my family and for her family. I can see she's looking at me and I try to calm down. "Our lucky male tribute is Forl Dense" The blood drains from my face. I look at Petunia and she looks just like me, pale. I walk up and stand ther. "Are you 2 related?" She asks, as if it wasn't onvious by the last name. "Yes" I say. I can tell she wants to leave cause she skips asking our ages. Instead of shaking hands we hug. I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure she comes back, even if it means dieing......
