Prologue:Dark Days are Over
"Hello, and welcome to the first Hunger Games sense the Dark Days! So, we have decided, to teach all the Districts about how bad an uprising is, we are sending two tributes, one male, one female, into the arena! And may the odds be ever in your favor!"

Chapter 1:The First Reaping of District 4
I woke bright and early one day to find my younger sister, Violet, getting ready for later on. She was 14 today, and I was now 17. I hugged Violet, knowing that one of us might be drawn in the Reaping. She hugged me and then I left to go for a swim before getting ready.

I got to the lake to find that Antonio, one of my best friends, waiting. I sit down next to him and he puts an arm around me. "Happy first Reaping Day," he said quietly.

I nod. "Same," I murmured, resting my head on his shoulder. His arm tightened around me then after awhile I pushed his arm away. "I have to get ready."

I start to walk away but he grabs my arm. "You don't have to," he said.

"What?" I ask, turning around to face him.

"We can run away, me, you, our families, out in the wild, the arena will not be easy, and if you are reaped... I couldn't stand it, Lily," he said quietly.

"I have to Antonio, Violet would never make it in the woods and neither would my father," I said, pulling away. He looked at me but I turned and ran home.

My father greeted me when I got home and i nodded then went to get ready. I saw a beautiful dress in a pale pink that was really close to white. I changed into it and walked downstairs.

"You look wonderful, sweetheart," he said, looking me over.

"Thanks," I said silently. My father led us to town square, where a Capitol Lady with light blue hair waited.

Then, when the clock rang that it was 2, she started to speak. "Welcome all," she said in a very annoying voice. "This is the very first Hunger Games, and we all know why we were brought here, the Dark Days. And remember, may the odds be ever in your favor. Now, we shall draw names, ladies first," she said, going over to a glass bowl.

My heart pounded against my chest as she reached in and shuffled the papers around. The silence was so loud that I wanted to scream. Then she returned to the mic.

"And the female tribute is..." she said, reading the paper, "Lily Jamerson," she said loud and clear.

My heart skipped a few beats then I slowly approached the stage.

"LILY!" shouted Violet. She tried to push through but the Peacekeepers stopped her.

"No Violet, no," I said behind my shoulder. I then reached the stage and walked up. The Capitol Lady greeted me then went over to the glass bowl containing the names of who might be the male tribute.

She dug around for a bit then grabbed one of them. She crossed over and unfolded the paper. She read the name aloud. "James Lillington!"

Lily watched the boy come to the stage. He had curly brown hair, nothing like my blonde hair. He stood next to me and the Capitol Lady waited for volunteers. When no one came, she smile then led us into the Justice Building.

I was put into a room and I pounded on the door for awhile until it opened and my father and Violet came in. Violet, who was crying, hugged me as tight as she could. I bent down and brushed the hair out of her face. "Violet, calm down sweetie," I said soothingly.

"But what if I lose you?" she cried.

I sighed then looked into her violet eyes. "I promise I'll try to come back if it'll make you feel better," I said silently to her and her only.

She nodded and then the Peacekeeper's came and took them away. I sighed then the Capitol Lady came and lead us into a car. We rode to the train station and we caught a train to the Capitol.

Chapter 2:Train Ride
"Hello tributes, I never introduced myself, I am Trancy," she said.

"Hi," James and I said together, not really caring what happened.

"Well, I hope you two will enjoy the Capitol, we will get there by early tomorrow, and remember, train hard," she said, still being cheery.

"Yeah, and what happens if we both die? Do you even care?" I ask, temper rising.

"Well, it will be grieved much by people that liked you, but, keep in mind that Sponsers will send gifts to help."

"Yes, that is, if we do something they like," James protested.

"That is true, but you will have a stylist to make outfits that others would notice and people to help train you for interviews," Trancy said.

"Right, well thanks, i'm going to sleep now," I said. I leave quickly and head off to my room. I dress in an aqua blue nightgown and rested on my bed then fell asleep.

The next thing I know is that Trancy is knocking on my door. I sigh then get out of bed. I take a shower and i change into any random thing in the dresser. I walk out and they are eating breakfast. I eat something and then we arrive at the Capitol.
