The story of Alex Cole from district 13

"Welcome Panem to our special T.V program" some un-known voice said with a smile, a smile with lies underneath. Watching the T.V, I notice something weird. Looked like their will be a reaping again, but who? Who could have done this, the games were over. Last time it was the 75 games. "There will be another games with people from district 13 and the Capitol" said the weird voice. I sniped my head around, scared. I looked at my younger sister, abbey. She was only 12, but I was more scared for her. Tear drops hit the floor, one by one. “The reaping will happen next week" still watching my sister cry, thinking of Katniss taking prim's place. All you can hear now is screams through the building. Great how can this happen to me and my sister. “Abbey" I said quietly. “Alex" abbey said. Looking at my hands which are now shaking. Thinking of all those people died, from older games. Glimmer's body after the tracker jackers, Cato killed by Katniss. All of them gone in a flash, then the image of Prim being blown up by the bombs. “I hate the Capitol, I hate it" I said yelling now." don't blame them Alex, blame the head of Panem. “Said my older sister, which is 19 now. “Lucky" I said to her. She just gives me a smile and walks off. Now what, me and Abbey will be blown up, hurt, died, crying. Quickly the door opens, a large man shows up. He just gives us money and walks off. ’’The money must be used for the reaping. Looking it was $400, enough for two dresses. I get my pass and take Abbey's hand. I walk her to the shop. Tons of people were there for the reaping clothes. There were tons of people crying. Taking five steps closer every ten minutes. Finally we were at the door, the shop was barley had any dresses or clothes. Finally we got to the reaping clothes. Enough for me and Abbey to choose from. Abbey had tons cause of how small she is. There was some for me cause of my height. Looking at the dresses, someone bumps into me and was now on the floor, with a bloody knee. I got back up holding the rack for the dresses. "Sorry" she said "it is fine" I said quickly. She runs off, I looked at the rack, which was now broken. The dresses we now on the floor. The floor had blood cause of my knee. I saw the prettiest dress ever. Picking up the blue dress, then Abbey picks the pale pink dress. She told me she liked the color. The last one was a white dress with blood all over it. Both were on sale for the reaping.. I walked back to the little girl, and give her the $200 for the dresses. We walked through the hall and heard people crying some more. We finally got to the floor we wanted. When Walking back I tripped and fell everything looks so blurry. Waking up, all I can see is the floor. I looked at my knee, all the blood was still there, it hurts a lot so I crawl to the door, opening the door I see a cloth wrapped around my head in the mirror, reaching up I feel the cloth. My head must have been hurt really badly, I did not dare to un-wrap the cloth. I opened the door to get a cloth. I start to get up when I hear a gun shot.

“Abbey” I said with fear in my voice.

“Alex” Abbey said

I ran to her room, she was crying. She was safe, I went to Tessa’s room. That’s where the shoot came from.
