I can't see too much, just the people who are coming to the reaping. Then I see a table. Katniss starts talking, "It's ok Prim, it's just a little bit of blood and it doesn't hurt." Now I'm afraid. She never told me they'd hurt us! And I never saw human blood before... A lady takes my finger and puts a little machine against it. She presses a button and then I start bleeding. It doesn't hurt, it's just weird. Then she pushes my finger on a paper and sends me to the right. I lose sight of Katniss and I call her name, but she doesn't answer. Than I can see her hair. "Katniss!" I call, "Katniss!" But Effie starts talking, "Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone. Welcome to the 74th Hunger Games!" We watch a stupid film and she starts talking again. "First we will decide who will be our female tribute." She walks to a big bowl with a lot of little papers in it. She inserts her hand in the bowl and she grabs one of them. On that paper is written a name, the name of the female tribute from district 12. Effie starts talking again, "The female tribute of the 74th Hunger Games is: Primrose Everdeen!" she says. That's me... That's me, that's me! I search Katniss with my eyes, but I can't find her so I go to the stage. Than I hear Katniss yelling: "I volunteer! I volunteer!" I don't want her to. Nobody will take care of our mother if she does. "I volunteer as tribute". She continues. "No Katniss, no!" I call. I start crying. "Katniss no! Don't do that, no!" Gale is coming up to me, he takes me up and walks away. "No katniss!" I yell again, "no, no, no! Please! Don't do it!" But she doesn't listen and I'm getting dragged farther and farther away from her.

I'm scared, what will happen to our mother now? And who will feed us? No one will, we'll all starve. Me, my mother and maybe Katniss will too. It's all my fault, it's all my fault.
