D1: Destiny Flair's POV
It's reaping day. I'm at my boyfriend Jett's house. Were sitting on the balcony in his bedroom. I'm 18, and somehow, I feel like today its going to be me that's getting reaped. He must notice that I'm scared, because he wraps his arm around my waist. This year, the reaping's aren't in the square. They are on T.V. So if your reaped, you're to report to the mayor's castle. Jett looks down at me and says, It won't be you, I promise." I smile back, but I'm still nervous. He tilts my head towards his, and kisses me. I love him, I don't ever want to go, which is weird for District 1. We hear the reaping horn, and go back to his living room. We sit down on his sofa, and I flick the T.V on. Jett's little brother appears at the door, and sits next to us. He is 12, so it's his first chance at being reaped. Suddenly, the Capitol seal appears on our screen, followed by the anthem of Panem. The District 1 escort arrives, and the reapings start. " Welcome! To the first District 1 reaping, on live television!" she says. Ugh! Come on, I wanna get this over with. "Before we start, we have a little film, brought from the Capitol!" she beams, and a film plays out on the screen. It shows how the Hunger Games started, and how we are all brought together from it. The video closes with a clip from last year's games, where Ria Bellend killed the boy from 2, and said last goodbyes to the girl from 4. It was a sad moment, but I would have rather the 2 boy had won. "Now for the reapings!" the escort says. "As you know, 48 tributes will go in this year, just to spice things up a bit! Well, Ladies first!" I see Jett move closer to the screen. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. "Ruby Jackson, and Destiny Flair!" The escort yells. No. No. No. Jett looks at me in shock, his mouth wide open. I want to break down and cry, but I won't. He pulls me into a big hug. He pulls away, and I can see the tears forming in his eyes. "It's okay. I'll be okay." I whisper. " I know you'll be fine." he says with sadness and misery in his voice. Then the escort calls the boys names but I barely hear them because I am too sad, I think it was the names Lion Scrapes and Leandro Vine I don't know them but I guess I will soon. Before I know it peacekeepers are pounding on the door, when nobody answers they bust it down. I run into Jet's arms but they pull me out, they drag me to a confined room still in the castle and tell me to wait while they round up the other kids who were reaped. I am sitting alone... crying for what feels like a lifetime. Then after a while the same peacekeepers return with Lion, Leandro and Ruby, the boys look tough but you can tell that Ruby has been crying. They make the four of us shake hands and then march us to the justice building.

D2: Slate Ramsis POV
''"I volunteer!!" Effin and I both shout. No. I won't give in this time. " I volunteer, I VOLUNTEER!" We say again. Before I can do anything else, he punches me in the face. I fall to the ground, blood dripping from my mouth. I get up to find Effin marching to the stage of the reapings. I can't believe he'd do this to me. After all we've been through. ''I must've been dreaming. I remember that day. The day Effin went into the games. The reaping, is today, again. I needed to get reaped. Or I will volunteer. Whatever it takes. I hop out of bed, shower, and get dressed. My father is waiting for me in the kitchen. I walk down our big staircase and see him wearing a tuxedo waiting for me. He approaches me and starts talking about who knows what, I start stareing into space and before I can think he shoves me on the ground and says "You look at me when I'm talking to you boy!" I get myself back up and I really don't want to fight him right now, so I just walk away. When I get to the square I see they have already started and the escort is giving this weird speech about somthing about the games and the capitol and how it brings us all together. "Now for the reaping.... ladies first!" says the escort. "Mckenna Ecelinty and Taleria Anderson" Shouts the escort. They walk up to the stage, no expression on their faces. I recognize Taleria from school she is one grade younger than me. "And for the boys.... Suzuki Hickey and Slate Ramsis" he says. Well looks like i won't have to volenteer after all, then before I can even walk up to the stage "I VOLUNTEER!!!" somebody yells. I turn my head to see Jay, this 14 year old from school who always tries to hang with the big kids, I've seen him in the training center and he is pretty good with a sword but not as good as me. " YOU SHUTUP!" I yell right back, "NO!! I'M SICK OF BEING LOOKED DOWN UPON AND I..." he yells, but before he can finish the sentence I chuck a rock at his head and he passes out. Everyone is silent and I just walk up to the stage. "O-our tributes of District 2..... Slate Ramsis, Suzuki Hickey, Mckenna Ecelinty and Taleria Anderson!!" he says, we shake hands and march into the justice building. Talk about history repeating itself...

D3: Ethan Shocking POV
I wake up to the sound of the panem national anthem. I am laying in my bed in my room, I still hear the anthem so I walk downstairs. I get down to my livingroom and see the face of Sparks Kolikki (Games commentator befor Claudius Templesmith) on the T.V. he is this creepy looking capitol man with neon pink hair and golden lipstick. He is going on about how reapings are today and how excited everyone in the capitol is. I walk into the kitchen and find my mom making breakfast and my younger brother Scott(16) looking nervous as ever, and my little sister Kassie (14) who looks like she is trying to stay positive but you can tell she is scared. Last there's Luke(15), my cousin, he has been living with us sense his parents died in a tornado a few weeks ago, so he looks pretty sad. I really don't know how I feel, District 3 dosen't have many victors and If i get reaped today, I fear I don't have much hope. I start eating and before anyone says another word the reaping horn blows. We all just sit there in silence for a few seconds looking at eachother and I see that Luke has a tear in his eye, I pat his back "we had better get down there" I say softly. I put on my nicest clothes and we move through the woods to the square. I see the escort, people are still getting here so she hasn't started yet. After about 5 minutes she welcomes us and starts reading out every past victor from 3, not many. Then she gives a 2 hour long speech about the history of the games and the Capitol. For us, it was 2 hours of agony, I look over at Luke... he is looking down and has his eyes closed, Kassie looks nervous and Scott is holding back tears. Then... finally she says "Well, lets get to the reapings, ladies first...... Tiffany Gomes and Vannessa Gargooop!" she says. Two girls walk up to the stage, one of them is pretty young looking and the other looks about 16.... oh no... that's Scott's girlfriend. I look at him to find that he is already looking at me, he looks shocked. Before I can do anything the escort says "Noww for the boys!" Oh god, here it comes, I look at Luke who is obviously crying and then before she says anything I close my eyes and just wait for it..."Rickey Dean and Ethan Shocking!" nooo.... not me..... it can't be me. But it is, I walk up to the stage and before anyone can say anything "I VOLENTEER!" says someone in the crowd. I whip around to see Scott walking up to the stage.... I can't let him, I stop him and say "I can't let you do this" "I have to! he yells back "No, you can't" I say. He pushes me and yells "I have to!!" I yell back "NO, I WON'T LET YOU!" I yell back, he pushes me again. Then Luke runs up to the stage and pulls him back, Scott is yelling and crying and Luke is just dragging him back to the 16 year olds section, I am crying now too. The escort tells us to shake hands so we do and then leads us back to the Justice Building, They take me to this small room with only one light, a peacekeeper says that my family will come see me in a minute. I wait there crying, then Kassie opens the door and just hugs me, I am trying to hide my tears because I wan't to stay strong. Scott looks so helpless, and Luke and my mom also hug me. Then I go over to Scott who is just standing in the corner, "I'm sorry.." I say sadly, he looks at me, tears in his eyes and says "Its okay..." I hug him and we all get together in one group hug and then the peacekeeper comes back and forces them out. I need to win.

D4: Seraphim Royal POV
I am scaling the bottom of the ocean. I must have traveled 5 miles in 3 minutes, I know my way back home of course. My father thinks I am out spear fishing, I do this once a week, just swim for miles until I can't swim anymore. My father dosen't know about me.... how I am, I'm just waiting for the right time to tell him, I'm just not sure how he'd react to find out that his daughter grows a tail and gills everytime she gets wet, I'm a mermaid like the ones from little kid stories. It started when I was 13, I was surfing alone and I got pulled under by a rip current, I thought I was going to drown but somehow I was stronger than the ocean and I swam out of it, I looked down to find a tail where my feet should be. Now I'm just sitting at the bottom of the ocean, I have a trident with me so if I see any fish they're mine. Today is reaping day, I feel a chilling sadness rush through my spine, today was the last day I ever saw Cora.... my best friend, slaughtered by that animal boy from District 2. I miss her, she was the only one I ever told about the way I am. I trusted her. I had better get back home and dress, I see a nice fat bass swim by and skewer it with my trident, "nice shot" I say in my mind. I get back to my regular beach being careful not to pass the boundry where District 4 ends, I passed it by mistake once while I was stalking a fish and I almost got eaten by Capitol rigged shark mutts, they make sure nobody passes the boundary on a boat or somthing, I only got away because of my tail. I get home and dress quickly, I see a note on the door from my dad that says " I went down to the square, meet you down there - Dad" I decide to just head down without eating, I'm not too nervous that I'll get picked, there is this eighteen year old girl in my school who has signed on to tessarae like 4,000 times so it will most likely be her. I get there and they have just started, "Now....lets change it up a little, boys first........... Ryden Ethfour and Thomas Quince!" yells the male escort. Thomas is a grade behind me and i've seen him in school a few times, and Ryden is this kid from the Capitol who everyone hates. " for the girls....." says the escort, oh god, here comes that feeling I get every year before they announce the girls. "Calla Cora and Seraphim Royal!" Yells the escort, ME! seriously, I don't think it's real, maybe it's a dream. I just stand there with my mouth wide open until a peacekeeper shoves me to the stage, I look at my father..... he's crying. My mom left us a while back now he has nobody. We all shake hands and march into the justice building. I realize that it's over... I'm dead.

District 5: Ian Vance POV
I wake up, I am in my room, I walk downstairs and sit at the table next to my dad, I'm an only child. My dad is drunk.... as usual, "Boy, go and get the newspaper" He says to me in his drunken voice. I get up and go to our front door, I look at the front page... "Reaping Day Today" it says... OH YEAH! It's today... I get a short feeling of fear in my heart, probably nothing, I know I could win these games, i've watched them a hundred times on T.V. and i know that all I really need to do is survive the bloodbath and stay hydrated. I go back inside and throw the newspaper to my dad and it hits him in the face, he gets up full of rage and pushes me to the floor "You want me to kill you boy?" he says angrily, I get up and push him back, he stumbles then slaps me hard in the face. I fall and grab my face, that really hurt. "Now go get ready, we've got to get to the square" he says. I go upstairs and dress. I get back downstairs and I see a note on the fridge "GO TO THE SQUARE - Dad" I start to head down to the square and i see some kids I recognise from school, they see me and run. "The school bully" they call me, they're just scared of me they know that I'll fight anybody who crosses me. I usually only beat up the kids who make fun of my the color of my hair (Red), i've probably beat up most boys in my school and some girls if they talk out their place. I get to the square and they have already started, The escort is going on about the history of Panem and a bunch of crap I don't listen to. "Now for the girls.... Cassia Slyvaria and Aleena Galinty" she says, They're older than me and I don't know them "Now for the boyys....." she says, I don't feel nervous "... Tristan Cale and Ian Vance" she says, I look up and see Tristan, I've never met him, peacekeepers drag him up on stage, I feel a push on my back I turn around to see my father "Go" he says, he's still drunk. I go up on stage, "Our Tributes of District 5!" she shouts, we shake hands and she marches us into the justice building.

District 6: Mike Gratline
"WAKE UP!" someone yells, "REAPIN' DAY!" it's Mr. Ricketts, the owner of the orphanage my sister and I live in. He is cruel, only feeds us once a day and if we are caught trying to steal food from the kitchen he beats you unconcious. I look up, and look straight at Rose, she is staring straight back at me. "Five minutes.... everyone get ready!" Bob yells, everyone gets up and goes for the bathroom, I walk over to Rose she has a depressed look in her eyes, she always does ever sense mom and dad died, I always feel sad but I try to stay funny and nice. We go and get ready then meet at the front door of the orphanage, Bob and the other workers line us up, one boys line and one girls line. Oh god, I'm starving they never feed us breakfast, I hang around these guys who call themselves "Sixes Satan's" sixes as in District 6, they steal, fight and use too much morphling. I hang with them because they help me steal food, which I give to Rose. I won't lie, I do a little morphling when I am stressed it calms me and help me, I want to quit but it's hard. They taught me how to use a switchblade and I do pretty well with it, we are walking down the street and I see Cade, the guy who taught me how to use a blade, he's 16, tall, muscular and looks tough, I wish I looked like that. He is with his older brother Curtis who is 17 and the leader of Sixes Satan's. I wave at them, but they don't see me. We make it to the square and wait abou an hour for everyone to get here, then he starts "Welcome District 6 to the 17th annual Hunger Games!" lets get to the reapings "The first girl of District 6...... Amanda Hawks!" he says, I've seen her around school, she's so pretty definatley one the most popular kids there, "Next........ Rose Gratline!" He yells..... I can't breathe, this isn't happening, not to her, I've never loved anyone more than I love her, she's my twin sister. I look over at Cade, he looks back at me and bites his lip. I am shaking, I feel helpless, Rose walks up to the stage and looks at me. Everything gets blurry, I think I'm beginning to cry, "For the boys...... Josh Eagleye!" he says he gets up on stage quickly and stands next to Rose. "Finally..... Cade Lessor!" He yells, thats even more shocking, he dosen't go to school, he only hangs with boys from the gang and nobody I know know's he even exists, I doubted his name was even in there. He can't go, this needs to be me, I need to protect Rose. "I volenteer" I say loudly, "Well then come on up!" says the escort I walk right past Cade he stops me and puts his hand out, I shake it. Then I go up to the stage and stand next to Amanda. "Our tributes of District 6!" He makes us shake hands then leads us to the justice building, My worst nightmare has come true, I'm going to the arena.

District 7: Patti Frinseti
Today is reaping day, I've been dreading it for months, I hate this place... District 7, I've lived here all of my life. It's sunrise right now, I am under the tree where I come most every morning and watch the sunrise. I think of school, my friends, and Ria Bellend, I remember she used to go to my school, I'd see her in the halls never thought she'd become a victor dhe didn't have many friends and usually just hung out with her brothers. I look at my watch, 6:00 I'd better head home. I get there and see my sister Leena, she was one of Ria's few friends and was the first to welcome her home after she won. Mom and Dad call us to the table and we eat breakfast, about halfway through dad says "Girls, no matter what happens today we're still a family", Leena is seventeen and I think he worries that she will be chosen. We have a small conversation and then dress for the reaping. We get down and they are about to start, "Welcome, Welcome one and all to the District 7 reaping!!" shouts the female escort, she has green hair and light purple skin, I wonder if she really thinks that is attractive? She gives a speech and about halfway throught I catch sight of Ria, standing there so tall, so proud, so beautiful... I wish I was more like her, I remember how she killed the girl from District 12 and the boy from District 2 last year. If I got chosen would I be so deadly, I'm pretty good with an axe but then again almost everyone is in 7. "Now for the reapings..... for the boys....... Samuel Rio and Gaden Sharp! she yells exitedly. "NOO!" someone yells, a girl, she runs over to Gaden and jumps into his arms, I recognise Gaden from school. "It's okay, Im gonna be okay.." he says sullenly, she's crying. "For the girls first... Callope Shade!" yells the escort, wait a minute is that her? The girl starts crying even harder, I think it's her. They go up to the stage and Gaden has his arm around her, they're both crying. "Next...." oh god please don't be Leena.... Please, anybody but my sister. "Patti Frinseti!" aw crap it's me, Okay I always knew it was gonna happen one day. I march up to the stage and look at Callope and Gaden, they're still hugging and crying. Samuel seems calm and we all walk into the justice building. I look back and realize for the first time in years, I love District 7, and now I'll never see it again.
