I would have been much more comfortable in just my pants, jacket and my boots.I walked down to the village hand in hand with my daddy. He had always made me feel so safe with his ams around me or even just being by being at my side.Lotty Rose walked on to the stage. Her hair was pale pink this year. It was nice. ''Velcome, Velcome! To the 91st annual Hunger Games Reaping! May the odds be ever in your favour! Ladies first''. I squeezed my dad's hand tight. She put her hand in to the reaping bowl and drew out a piece of paper.
