the first annual hunger games: ch 1

"just came to get you up for the reaping today. who do you think its going to be drame?" she asked

i got dressed and headed to the town square. i pass the sea on the way there. i don't like the sea. it brings back sad memories of how i lost my mother and father. so i run past it and braccica follows. then i see town square filled with hundreds of kids. getting their fingers pricked for blood, all of them standing around talking waiting for the reaping to start finally i get in and get around all of the kids my age. then it starts. i see a girl from the capitol shes covered in makeup and has long orange hair trickling all down her body she has a puffy dress. her eyelashes are so long and decorated and then she talks her voice is strangely annoying to me its a mix between high and low and it doesnt sound good at all. she taps the buzzing mic like 15 times and then finally speaks "welcome all to the first annual hunger games. as you all know there was an uprising recently and in the process of that district 13 was..."she stutters and finally says "obliterated... so to keep memory of that we the capitol have made games we like to call the hunger games. so one young boy and girl will be offered to the capitol and have the honour in competing in these games. we will start with the girls" she walks over to the bowl on her left and is looking around for the right peice of paper for about 2 minutes. after shes plucked it out she walks over to the podium again and opens the slip then reads out the name "braccica knight" i recognise the name instantly and want to scream out no. but i know thats not going to happen braccica cries and walks slowly up to the stage with her face in her hands she gets up on stage still sobbing. i ant believe it the girl i love is going into that arena shes going to die in that arena and for what? the entertainment of the capitol? "and now for the boys" she walks over two the other bowl and plucks one out right away. why couldnt she have done that for the girls? then my love wouldnt be in that stupid arena but then she reads out the name "drame kolt" i stutter for a bit after hearing my name and then she reads it again and i come up on stage she makes us shake hands. i wonder if this is a dream or a nightmare and i think about waking up from this hellish night mare. i can still feel her tears soaked on her hands when i shake it."give them around of applause children says the odd women but all they do is lift up three fingers as a sign of recognition and respect.

i guess this is it then

im going to die.

remember to tune in next time for more hunger games
