The 125th Hunger Games

Riley Reaping

I'm running away from a man with a belt of knifes when I come across a lake. I run faster and I loose the knife man. I'm really fast at running.

I see two men jump into the water and a girl over the other side. She is just standing there. I try to yell but she doesn't hear me. A canon goes off as soon as one of the boys pop up.

He looks at the girl and swims in her direction. I yell at her again and follow the boy. He gets on land and reaches for the girl but he gets shot. I try to his behind him but the girl that shot him shoots the girl and then spots my hand.

She shoots my pinky and I yell in pain. I run up to her and strangle her. She has just enough time to shoot me....

I wake up. My little sister is sleeping next to me holding onto my waist. It's her first reaping.

I walk out and looks at the window. It normally has enough room for me to sit on, but my brother has taken it. It's his last reaping and the 5th Quarter Quell.

Last year he was picked but a boy that was so confident took his place. He bets no one will do the same thing this year since the boy from our district died in the blood bath. We are from district 4.

My mum is cooking scrambled eggs which is only for special events. She placed a brown top with light brown pants on my bed.

I got changed after breakfast and when I came out of my room my sister was awake. I give her a gig and whisper in her ear, "It's gonna be ok." She gets changed into her brown dress and then has breakfast with my brother.

Our mum leads us to the justice building and we each go our deprecate ways. A girl named Seria Jurken walks onto the stage with brown hair and a nice brown dress.

"Welcome, Welcome. Today we select a new courageous man, and woman to compeat in the 5th Quarter Quell. Our president would like I announce the Quarter Quell." A scene pops up and her ace is there. "To remind us I'd the rebellion that happened, twice, for this years quarter quell, one girl aged 12 and one man aged 12 will go into the arena." I'm happy that me and my brother are safe but I look over and see my scared sister. "And two others that are completely random." I'm sad again. There is now less chance that in going into the arena. Oh yes!

The screen disperses and Seria goes up and walks next to the four reaping balls. "As normal, 12 ladies first." I'm crossing my fingers. My palms are sweaty. "Emma O'daer." We are Finnicks Grandchildren. Well Annie's.

My sister slowly gets up. I yell for her but peace keepers keep me back. Why are they called peace keepers? I think. My brother is crying. He didn't make a sound. He's silent.

She walks onto the stage. Seria puts her hand back into the ball, "Dicky Sunde." He walks into the stage crying. "Now for the older kids." Seria says. I'm shaking all over. But it's girls first. Seria walks over to the other side of the stage. "Kia Hollow." She is 13 year old. I'm 14. She walks to the stairs and falls over her feet. Everyone's laughs. She cries.

"Lucky Last." Seria says. She reaches into the last ball. The world goes into slow mo. I cross my finger. Hold my breath, like the last 2 years. "Jack O'daer." Oh no! My sister and my brother are going into the hunger games. He walks out again.

No one goes up for him. He walks so slow. The crowd 'oohs' and 'arrs' for him. Only because he was picked again. It's his last year!

"I volentire!" I look around to see who did that but then I remember, I did. He looks at me. "What are you doing?!" He tells at me. Peace keepers grab him and me. My dad runs out to us and my sister runs off the stage. My mum is not to far behind. Peace keepers are everywhere grabbing my family. They pull me and my sister on to the stage and lock the others in my house.

"Happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favour!"
