Chapter 1-Reaping

I awoke again, this is the second night in a row that memories keep flooding back to that terrible night. Mom and Dad got a divorce and i was taken away from my my dad. My brother was in a horrible accident and my mom deemed him unworthy. My dad left me here with a mom who has little faith in me. Each time i wake in the morning, my body is covering in sweat. My mom ran into my room. "Leah get up your butt needs to start doing some work around this house." "Mom you never lift a finger around here since my father and brother left and you let my sister die also because you didnt want to get up to help her. She died from starving because the food i brought from the woods and the training i spent every day were wasted on you because you at all the food. She died at the age of 9 with all the life wasted away." A tear started to swell in my eyes as my mother just rolled her eyes and slammed the door in my face. I began to break into tears as i ran to a lake in the woods. I sat my self down on the side of the lake as the sun sparkled off the water. Every thing here is beautiful except my mother. I began to cry as i felt a hand on my back pull me into a hug. His arms were so soft and i just let my head rest against his chest. His eyes were so beautiful. I meet his eyes as he moved his hands through my hair. His name was Gleamer and i have loved him since the moment my parent's divorce. He stayed with me the whole time and never left my side. He may not know but i like him but love is something that can't come easy in my family as my mother whould disown me if i love someone. Either way he doesnt even know i like him like that but its always good to be in his company. He spoke in a soft tone "Leah, what happened as he rubbed his hand across my jaw. " Mom and I got into a fight today and she slammed the door in my face." Gleamer kissed me on the cheek and then pulled me into a hug. "It will be fine and i will stay with you no matter how much hurt you go through." his voice began to crack. He looked into my eyes and tears started to swell up. He tried to pull me closer but then i pushed him back and turned my face around. "Gleamer,Please dont do this to me. I like you and you just lead me on. Now at this moment you think it doesnt affect me, but it does." Tears started to swell up in my eyes and my hearts feels as though its being broken. I got up and i started to walk away until he grabbed my hand and spun me into his arms as my tears covered his shirt. He tilts my head forward and gently kisses my lips. "Leah, I love you i just never could tell you and i never wanted you to go through the pain with you mom and i care to much for you to be left on the streets. You sparkle just like the diamonds we make but unlike them u never get dirty your pure and clean. I love you so much." I began to cry and i hugged onto his chest and kissed him softly on the cheek. I began to leave when he caddled me in his arms and he walked me out of the forest and onto the streets He brought me to my house and laid me down on my bed as my mom came into the room.

My mother pushed Gleamer out of the way and then slapped me in my face. She ran up to the door and slammed it shut. I ran to the door and tried to open it but then she pushed me back onto the bed. "I hate you little brat. Today at 2:00 the reaping begins and I hope you get chose and die in battle. I have others to support me and u need to leave my house." I grabbed my bow and quiver and then grabbed my bag and shoved her out of my way. "I hate you and ill be glad yo get out of your sight." My mom then reached out to slap my face until i loaded my arrow into my bow and pointed it at her face. " Touch me and i wont have to leave the house you will be leaving my life forever." My mom unclinched her fist and then slammed the door and then locked it and stared at the window as i walked into the streets without a care in the world as long as i got away from her. Gleamer looked up from helping his had and walked over to me. I pushed Gleamer out of the way, i wasn't in the mood to talk at all. He ran up in front of me and blocked my path. "Gleamer, im not in the mood my mom just told me to die and how she hopes im in the reaping." Gleamer faced turned to a frown. "It's all my fault Leah, the way i barged in." I looked into his eyes and then i wrapped my hands around his neck. "Gleamer, it wasnt your fault. She is nothing to me now just an old memory one im gonna supress and never look back on. Now your a different story.
