Welcome to the 250th Hunger Games. This year is the year of the Quarter Quell, the 10th one in fact and the Gamemakers and some high officials of the Capitol  have been thinking of what they can do to make the Hunger Games even more amazing than it was in the past Hunger Games and they have dicided this:

There are 12 girls chosen and 12 boys. The girls are put into one arena and the boys another. Once there is only 1 boy and 1 girl left they open the force field on one of both arenas sides to make 1 huge arena where the 1 boy and girl fight to the death.!!!!

Rules
1. No swearin

2. You can only enter up to 5 tributes

3. I dont care if you spam 

4. Tell as many people about this Games

5. Dont be upset if your tribute dies

6. The more info you give me of the tribute the better chance of it's survival

The arenas
Boys

The boys arena is a huge jungle with the Cornucopia being placed right in the middle near a giant rock formation. The only water in the boys arena is a small pond near the back of the arena and a small creek near the other end. The vegitation in the arena is large trees with some poisunous mosses and plants scatterd around the arena.

Girls

The girls arena is the opposite of the boys. It is a huge freshwater river that is too thick to swim across. There is a small island about 1 mile long and half a mile wide which has some poisunous plants and most of the animals. Also most of the fish in the river is poisunous. There are few trees on the island, just mostly large bushes and plants.

Part 1: The Reapings
D istrict 1

 Mercury Shifter- D1 female 

The Hunger Games are back again. They have been for over 100 years. Panem used to be a happy place after the Rebellion was over and Katniss Everdeen was our Mockingjay until she was assasinated by Capitol spies. That's when the Capitol took back over and decided to make the Hunger Games an annual tradition again.

I stumble out of bed and grasp my head board. Today is the day of the Quarter Quell Reaping. I can't help feeling that the girl tribute this year is going to be me. I slowly stand up and steady myself to walk downstairs. I am greeted by my mother.

"Good morning Mrs. Mercury," she blurts.

"Morning mom," I reply.

She breezes past me holding a basket of laundry.

"Breakfast is on the table."

I walk into the dining room and sit beside my dad and across from my brother. I pile a couple scoops of home fries and boiled eggs onto my plate.

"You know what," my brother starts. "I don't care if i'm chosen, i'll win any way."

My brother isnt very modest and loves to brag. The rest of breakfast is silent. When I'm finished I scrape the remainders into the garbage and return to my room. I slide open the doors to my closet and pull out a creme white silk dress and a pair of black dress slippers and lay them out on my bed. I enter in my bathroom and draw myself a warm shower. When i finish i re-enter my room and slip on my dress and dress slippers and brush my hair to one side of my head.

I walk out to the kitchen and here the horn sounding it's time to go to the reaping. My brother and i look at each other. He smirks and I have a sad look on my face. My parents enter the room and guide us outside.

Orion Nightlock- D1 male

My sister and i hear the horn sounding for us to come to the reaping. I run over to her and give her atight squeeze.

"We are going to be okay Orion," She says."And if one of us is chosen, we will win."

It's true that my sister might win if she's chosen she has been training for a long time. I'm 15 years old and she is 17. She trained since she was 6 just for these games, if i am chosen i will certainly not win because havent trained and if I'm not chosen I'm not volunteering. I slip on my grey dress pants and my sister and i walk straight for the reaping. My parents follow close behind.

The walk to the reaping is silent until I here screaming and see a Peacekeeper dragging a 12 year old my the hair towards the reaping. I honestly hate the Peackeepers and i don't think they are needed in Panem. When i arive at the reaping i wait in line to get my finger pricked. I don't always see why we should have our fingers pricked but my dad said it has to do with identification. The women pricks my finger and smeers the blood on the paper. She says "Next" and i stand with the 15 year old boys.

I wait for a minute standing there when our escort Tulip Osberry walks on stage aswell as our mayor and a couple other officials.

"Welcome District 1, welcome," She says. "It is now time again to select our 1 lucky man and women to be enterd and represent District 1. But first here is a little speach from the mayor."

Our mayor walks up and says his little peice and then sits back down. Tulip walks back over to the micro phone and clears her throat.

"As you all know the this year is the Quarter Quell, and I'm sure all of you know the twist from seeing the announcement last week. So now we shall start with the girls," she smirks. She walks over to the girls bowl and dips her hand in. She digs around for a second, then retrieves a slip. She Unfolds and blurts into the micro phone "Mercury Shifter." A 17 teen year old girl walks out of the crowd and is guided on stage by the Peacekeepers.

"And now for the boys who will be participating in there own arena," Tulip blurts. She reeches her hand in and instantly pulls out a slip. She unfodls it and looks into the crowd as District 1 falls silent. "Orion Nightlock," she screeches. My worst fear has come true. The crowd forms a path in front of me and the peacekeepers guide me on stage. I look into the crowd and see my parents. They both look worried and upset. I gaze over to my sister and she gives her head a nod and her face a smile.

D istrict 2

Avias Nitroni- D2 male

I wakeup and it's late morning. I lay in bed thinking what today is. It is the day of the Quarter Quell reaping where 2 scrauny 13 or 14 year olds will be chosen to represent District 2 and fail horribly. That's why this year I am going to Volunteer, so I can bring bring pride to my District. I flop out of bed and start myself a shower. It's warm and inviting. When I finish i rap the towel around my waist and walk back into my room.

On my bed my mother has layed out a light green dress shirt and a light brown pair of Khaki pants. I put on my outfit and meet my parents down stirs for breakfast. I sit next to my brother Klos and my other brother Hill sits across from me.

"Morning Av," Hill chuckles.

"You ready for today," Klos stares at me. I look back at him and i want to say something witty and something funny.

"Hell ya, I am going to volunteer since I am the only one left in the family that are eligable," I reply. I am the only one eligable though. My brothers are both 19 so they are out.

"So you are going to volunteer," Klos says. He leans back in his chair.

"10 bucks he chickens out," Hill shouts. They both laugh histerically like they made the joke of the century. My mother comes in the room holding our plates.

"Now both you two nimrods shut up," mom interupts hitting them with a dish rag. "Avias is going to do it and he is going to make our family proud, aren't you Av?" I look at them and smirk.

"Of course," I reply. Mom sets a plate in front of me that has some eggs, ham, strawberries and some potato dices. I gobble down the food and walk into the kitchen. I plop my plate on the counter and return to my room. I sit on my bed and fiddle with a pollished rock. It is going to be my District token. I found it when I was 5 and my father took me to work with him in the "Nut." My dad the day after polished it and inbeded, "Avias" in the middle. Suddenly the horn sounds and it is time to go to the reaping. My brothers and my parents and I walk outside and start our walk toward the Justice building.

Ivy Flora- D2 female

As I am watering my Nepenthes Eymae plant I hear the horn sound. Yes, finally the time of the reaping has come. I set down my watering can, put some vials of plant poison in a cupboard and I feed my Venus fly trap some dead flies. When I finish, I exit the greenhouse and meet my parents at our walk way in front of our beautiful mansion  full of plants, everywhere.

"Darling, you look beautiful," mom mentions.

"Thanks, it's the only thing that wouldn't look similar to any of the other stupid kids in District 2's outfits," my parents and I laugh histerically. It is true that I do look pretty, I am wearing my favourite green gown and my red hair blends perfectly.

"Well we should be off," dad says and we start towards the Justice Building. As we walk there I see what some of the other girls are wearing and now I know I am the prettiest girl in 2.

When we arrive I butt in front of everybody In the line and get my finger pricked. When the woman dissmisses me I get some dirty looks from some of the other kids and one boy cusses at me. I scowl back and the boy should be very careful of what he eats because one of my vials of plant poison just might slip and end up in his lunch.

I go and stand over with the 16 year old girls as our escort. Lemon Rouge walks on stage with our mayor Resdel.

"Greeting District 2 and welcome," she starts. "Before we begin our Mayor has a little speech to say," Lemon gives a girly clap and sits in her seat. Mayor Resedel says his little piece and it's nothing special, he just goes on and on about how proud he is and it's a load of garbage.

He sits back down and Lemon trots back up to the Mic.

"Now it is time to selet the tributes for our 10th Quarter Quell," Lemon chirps and walks over to the girls bowl. I am truley excited to see who it is and If it is me I will win, I'm sure of it. Lemon grabs a slip and unfolds it.

"Ivy Flora," she screams. I had a feeling it was going to be me, I did eneter my name in there 42 times. I quickly walk up on stage and stand on the left of Lemon. I look into the crowd and see my parents. They are both smiling, and they are proud. Lemon grabs a slip from the boys bowl and reads "House Jillo." A 14 year old emerges from the crowd and stands on the right of lemon.

"Now are there any volunteers," Lemon asks. Everyone looks around and no one says anything but suddenly a tall muscular boy's hand shoots straight up.

"I volunteer," he shouts. House jumps off stage and runs to his parents. The boy who Volunteered walks on stage and stands where House stood.

"And your name is?" Lemon asks.

"Avias Nitroni," he says.

District 3

Eliza Conway- D3 female

I am woken by my dog. He licks my face and I shove him away.

"Stop Ren," I say. She jumps down off my bed and scurries into the kitchen, She is a cute little thing. I found her eating out of the dumpster behind one of the factories. I took her home and always feed her half of my meals. I get out of bed and go to my closet and grab my best gown. It's lavender coloured and has short sleeves and it goes down to my lower calf. I grab a pair of white shoes and I tie my hair into a bun.

I walk into the dining room and my parents and sister Willy look at me. I grab a plate plop some porrige on it and sit at the opposite end of the table. I don't really like my family, I try to avoid them as much as possible. My parents are ashamed of me because I am not very knowlegable about all the technology in District 3. They are so ashamed of me that they aren't seen with me in public. Then there is my sister. She is the perfect one, my parents love her, she gets amazing marks in school, she works at one of the factories making televisions with my father and she is beautiful. I am not jealous of her, I'm jealous that my parents treat her so much nicer than they treat me.

When I finish with my plate I set it on the floor so Ren can eat the scraps. I leave the table and play with Ren for a bit. I throw her a stick she retrieves it. Honestly Ren is my escape from all the madness with my family. When I finish I go back inside and enter the kitchen. My parents aret talking to Willy and when I enter the room they look at me and walk out the room not saying a word.

That's it, I am sick of being ignored I storm into where Willy and parents are talking again.

"Listen, I am sick of being ignored. I will show you three that I am worth something and that I am good at certain skills. I will show the District that I am not an outcast or a bad egg. I am going to volunteer for the Games," I yell.

Suddenly the horn hollers and I stare at my parents and sister furiously. I storm of outside slamming the door behind me and I walk towards the reaping.

G auge Down-D3 male

Once I hear the horn sound I feel a wave of terror file over me. I grab my spectacles off of the table and my younger brother Volt walks in the room. We both look at eachother, he's as terrified as I am. He stands straight and tall as my father walks in the room.

"You boys ready," he asks. We both nodd and we walk out the door. As we walk towards the reaping a boy older than me throws a rock and it hits me in the side.

"See you at the reaping, Gauge," he says and he runs ahead of us.

"You okay?" My father asks.

"Ya, I'm fine," I reply. I rub the area where the rock hit me and I keep walking. I am used to this kind of abuse. People are always mean to me because of how smart I am. In my school I'm known as a nerd. I am always focusing on either school work or making trap blue prints for the peacekeepers to catch crimminals. If I am chosen for the Quarter Quell it is likely I won't win. I am not very strong and there are some tributes that would be a lot taller than me. Although I would be good at setting traps. I see the giant television screens up ahead and the group of kids form a line and the parents go and stand in there section.

Volt and I stand in line waiting. One by one the other kids get there fingers pricked. The lady gestures for my hand. I stick it out and she pricks my finger. I then go stand with the 15 year old boys and wait for someone to go on stage. After a bit our escort Trent Yully is on stage.

"Hello District 3, and welcome to the 10th Quarter Quell reaping where 2 of you, one young man and women will be reaped to represent District 3, but first here is a little message from Mayou Plunt. Mayor Plunt talks for a little while then sits back down. Trent walks over to the girls bowl and chooses a slip. "Ursil Mink," he screeches. A 17 year old girl emerges from the crowd and walks on stage. Trent walks over to the boys bowl and dips his hand in, swirls his and in the bowl then selects a tribute. "Volt Down," He whines.

What, that didn't just happen. My little brother has been chosen for the games. He slowly walks up on stage and stands beside Trent.

"Now are there any Volunteers?" Trent asks. At the exact same time me and another girl yell Volunteer. We both start to walk up on stage. I hug Volt and tell him to go to dad. He doesn't want to let go but he does anyway.

"Two volunteers how exciting," Trent says. "What is your name." He holds the microphone to the girls mouth.

"Eliza Conway," she says.

"And yours." Trent holds the mic to my mouth. "Gauge Down," I blurt.

D istrict 4

 Leon Rivers- D4 male 

My alarm clock goes off and it's early morning. I smash the button and get dressed in my training outfit. I go into my training room in my giant mansion and pull a trident off a hanger on the wall. I set up a dummy and start throwing the trident at it in case I am chosen for the Games. Which if I am I will win, there is no doubt about it. I hit the dummy in the head, chest, stomach and groin.

When I finish I lift some weights and then enter my bathroom and start a shower. I am actually very excited for the games, If I am chosen good, I can win, I can kill a hand full of tributes. If I'm not chosen I won't Volunteer, at least not yet, but maybe when I am older. I hop in the shower and rinse myself off. When I finish I go into the dining room where my parents are eating breakfast.

I pile a load of food on my plate and sit beside my mother.

"So, are you going to volunteer this year," mom asks.

"Not this year, but if I am chosen I will win, from what I have been seeing from the other reapings I won't have too much competition," I reply.

"I know you will win if it is you, Leon," Mom says.

My mother does this every year on the reaping day. I think she thinks I am scared but I am very excited and anxious to see what loser is chosen for the games.

When I finish with plate I set it on my kitchen counter and return to my room. I strip off my training outfit and slip on my outfit for the reaping, a dark blue dress shirt, a creme coloured vest, creme pants and black shoes.

When I finish this I go outside and walk to the ocean. There are some fishing boats out in the distance and some stupid 11 year olds attempting to surf. A boy starts down the beach. I look closer and it's Vinny Restello. He's one of the boys I tease.

"Hey Vinny," I shout. He looks at me as  I pick up a chunck of seaweed and fling it at his face. It hits him and all his reaping close get all wet and dirty. I laugh my head off, It was perfect. Suddenly I here the horn to go to the reaping. I sprint back up to my mansion and meet my parents who are sitting on the front porch sipping sea weed tea.

Aqua Reeds- D4 female

Once I hear the horn I know what time it is. Reaping. One of us girls and boys will be chosen and most likely die, I hope it is not me. I put my bathing suit on and shuv my reaping dress and a towel into my water proof bag. I walk out of my house and start to swim to shore.

There are a lot of rumours about me that travel around District 4. Some people say that I live on a island sucluded from anyone else and some people say I emerged from the sea as some kind of wierd creature. Well the first rumour is true. I do live on an island. The reason is because I have no family and I don't really like people. If I had a choice I would stay in the water forever but, I can't.

Once I make it to shore on the beach I pull the towel out of my bag and dry myself off, I also pull my dress out and slip it on. I walk up the beach and onto the main road to the reaping. Once people see me they scatter. I guess that's the only good thing about all the rumours, nobody bothers to talk to me so I don't have to talk to them.

When I get to the reaping everyone in line lets me go in front of them, then I get my finger pricked and I stand with the 18 year old girls. After everyone has piled in our escort walks on stage. Rebecca Grim.

"Hello District 4 the beautiful water District," she starts. "As you all know this is the Quarter Quell reaping, so here is Mayor Trump with his speach." Mayor is a thin man with dark grey hair and giant hands. After Mayor Trump says his speech he sits back down and Rebecca walks back up.

"And now the time we have been waiting for the tributes," she says as she walks to the girls bowl. She dips her hand in and grabs a white slip. She slowly unfolds and takes a breath.

"Aqua Reeds," she reads. I can't beleive what I am hearing, I am chosen. I slowly walk up on stage and I stand beside Rebecca, she looks at me strange and steps away from me a few feet.

She grabs a boys slip and reads "Leon Rivers." A 15 year old boy walks up on stage. We shake hands and we are this years District 4 tributes.

D istrict 5

 Illuminate Sensorium- D5 female 

I am woken by the sound of Peacekeepers beating a couple men. I look out my window and there are three Peacekeepers and two District 5 men. This isn't strange, it is actually normal in this part of District 5. I turn around to go to the bathroom and I smash into my bookshelf causing a bunch of books to fall over. I start picking up my books and it reminds me I have to take a few books that I took out back to the library.

Awwww, the library just the thought of it calms me down and makes me forget about the reaping today. I love the library it's one place where I can just let loose and relax. I especially love the librarian, Ms.Silens. She is an amazing person and she has a beautifully kind heart. I have become very close to her since I am at the library every chance I can.

I start to hear yelling and I run to the kitchen. Oh, it's just my parents. It's no biggy they do it all the time, and most of the time it's about some stupid things. Like one time they were fighting about what grade my older brothers are in. I role my eyes and start to walk back into my room when I bump into my brother Dennver.

"Oh hey Ill," he says. That's what him and my brother sparks call me. Ill, it is so childish and stupid, but you can't spell childish without my brothers. I brush by him and slam the door to my room and lock it. I fling open the doors to my closet and grab my finest dress. It's faded yellow with arm length sleeves. I slip it on and tie my hair into a messy bun.

When I finish I grab the books that I have to take to the library and a slice of cheese and exit through my back door. I look in the air and see smoke. I don't really think anything of it, it could be really anything. I start to run because I will get there faster. As I run the smoke gets more apparent and I eat my chunk of cheese. I get even closer to the library and the smoke is much thicker and sprawls everywhere. I break out into a sprint and turn the corner to see the library on fire.

"No," I shout. I sprint towrds it and a Peacekeeper grabs me.

"You can't go in there, it's to dangerous," he says.

"But I need to know, I need to know," I shout.

"Need to know what," he replies.

"Were there anyone in there?"

"There was the librarian and a few other people."

"And are they okay?"

There is a long pause and he looks at me. "There have been no survivors," he says gentley. No, no, no that means Ms.Silens is dead and all the books are gone. I look to the ground and see a ring. It's glowing and I pick it up and grasp it in my hand. The horn sounds for the reaping.

"You better be going," the Peacekeeper says. I look up at him, my eyes all teary eyed. I turn around and start to run towards the reaping.

 Veto Magnate- D5 male 

I flee the scene with a bunch of Peacekeepers chasing me. I duck into an allie full off smoke from the library as the horn sounds to go to the reaping. Why am I being chased by the Peacekeepers, well I don't have the best reputation. I am in a gang and I do bad things but I could care less. This morning I was hanging out behind the library lighting one up when I see the Peacekeepers. They saw me aswell and charged at me. I through my cigarette away and hid behind the library dumpster. In a matter of minutes the library was up in flames and the Peacekeepers found me. I took off and hid which brought me here.

The Peacekeepers search around but luckily can't see from all the smoke of the library. I start to back up through the allie and hopefully manage to get away when I bump into someone, it's the head Peacekeeper. He grabs me and pins me up against the wall of the building by my neck. I don't bother squirming because it could cause more trouble.

"Listen kid," the head Peacekeeper starts. "We are sick of you and your gang of delingquints, now you listen to me, you are going to volunteer for the reaping or else we will kill you and all of you gang friends, understand." I say nothing back. He strikes me across the face.

"Yes," I manage to cough out. He spits in my face and two other Peacekeepers grab my arms and start to drag me to the reaping. When we arive the Peacekeepers push everyone out of line and stick my hand out in front of the woman. She pricks my finger and smears it on a sheet. The Peacekeepers throw me and point towards the crowd. I limp over and stand with the 13 year old boys.

A plump man walks on stage. "Greetings District 5," he starts. "Here is a small speech from our mayor."

Our mayor blabs along with his stupid speech and then sits back down.

The man walks back up to the front of the stage. "And now for the reaping." He walks over to the girls bowl and chooses a slip, he unfolds it and reads "Irrin Jalliy." A 15 year old walks up on stage. The man chooses a boys slip and reads "Fall Trip." A 15 year old walks up on stage.

"And now is there any Volunteers?" I raise my hand and so does another girl. We walk up on stage and we tellt he man our names. And for the firts time, this year two Districts have both tributes as Volunteer.

D istrict 6

 Constantos Pilotines- D6 male 

I wakeup, it's warm. I move the cardboard covering off of me. I get up and look through the dumpster that I slept beside. I am poor, I have no family and I don't have a home. When I was 5 my parents died and I ran away. Now I live on scraps and what some people give me.

I have only one pair of clothing and I am all dirty. I don't manage to find any food in the dumpster which doesn't surprise me. Every small peice of food that you can get, you eat in District 6. I don't really have anything to do or anything to see so I sit down and lean against the dumpster.

I wish my life did'nt come to this, I could've probably have had an amazing life with my parents, not worrying about starvation or where I will have to sleep tonight, just a normal life for a boy from 6. A giant truck goes by carrying train parts. It rumbles the ground as It passes by. I chase after it and hop on, and jump off as it passes by the market. I grab a rock and walk up to a stand.

"Ma'm," I say to the lady running it. "Do you have any apples in storage?" She looks at me and then walks back into her small hut. At this time when nobody is looking I throw the rock and it hits a shelf causing bottles of wine to fall down and shatter. The lady walks back out and cusses. She throws the apples onto a table and starts to pick up the shards of glass. I slowly tip-toe behind her and grab the bag of apples and run off.

I duck into an allie way and start to eat an apple. I don'y usually do that unless I am starving and in need of some food. The bag containing 7 apples will last me for a week.

I don't really do anything else very special for the morning. When I hear the horn it startles me and I gasp. I totaly forgot it was reaping day.

I hide my bag of apples behind an old crate and start to run towards the reaping.

 Rhonda Timor- D6 female 

Once I hear the horn I am excited. Today is the reaping, I am excited because I am going to volunteer. I  made a bet with myself that if I Volunteer for the games that I'll win. I know that I am still young and that I am probably going to be the smallest one there, but I have high confidence for myself and every bet that I made with myself I have accomplished, so I have an even better chance of victory.

I walk outside of my small house fallowed by my father, mother and my little brother Seth, he's 5 and I love him to death. I alsom love my father, he is very wise and has taught me so many things. He takes me to work sometimes and I help him make tires. My mother... she's okay I'm more of a tom boy and my mothers a girly girls so we don't get along as well.

We start our walk. All th kids from 6 and there parents walking with us. I think I am the only one taht is some what happy about today. My parents don't know, and if they did they wouldn't of let me volunteer. I don't really like keeping secrets, but if I have to I will.

Once we arive at the Reaping I stand in the line to get my finger pricked. I stand behind a towering boy.

"Rhonda we will be in the crowd, okay," my father says.

"Okay," I reply. Once my finger is pricked I stand with the 13 year old girls and wait. Our mayor walks on stage with aour escort Tella Orum.

"Hello District 6 and welcome to our 10th Quarter Quell reaping, in a few moments we will draw our tributes, but first here is a speech from our mayor. Our mayor stands up, clears his throat and says his little speech. I like it, it was kind and enthusiastic. He sits back down and Tella walks back up.

"And now for the drawing of our tributes," she says. She walks over to the girls bowl and digs around for a second and pulls out a slip. "Grace Iree." A 16 year old girl walks up on stage and stands beside Tella. Tella grabs a boys slip out of the boys bowla and reads; "Constantos Pilotines." A boy my age wearing all raged and dirty clothes walks on stage. "And now are there any Volunteers?" Tella asks.

I take a deep breath and yell "I volunteer as tribute," I march up onto stage as Grace walks down.

"And what is your name, dear," Tella asks.

"It's Rhonda Timor."

I look into the crowd and see my family, they all look sad, but there is nothing I can do anymore, it's official, I am a tribute.

D istrict 7

 Selena Kyle- D7 female 

"Selena it's time to get up," my sister Freya calls. She is my twin and I love her to death. I plop myself out of bed and walk into my kitchen.

I look out the window and see my dad chopping wood. My sister tosses me an egg.

"Here's breakfast, go nuts," she says. Since she said go nuts I do. I jump and down like a monkey and make these awkward sounds.

"Selena, you... are....a...MORON," she says. I stop jumping up and down and pretend to cry, I run out of the kitchen and into my room. Imediatley I start laughing. My sister and I goof around like this all the time, we are practically bestfriends.

I quickly chew the egg up and swallow. After I have a bath in our crappy wooden tub and pick the leftover chunks of egg out of my teeth. When I'm finished I go back into my room and see a dress on my bed with a little note. It reads: "Dear sis, here is a dress, I'm just helping dad outside with the wood."

I have never seen her with this dress before. But it is very nice for someone in District 7. I take off my other clothes and put on this dress. It is a black knee length dress with very thin straps at the top. It is a little baggy foe me but It is still one of the nicest things that I have ever worn. I go into my closet and grab a pair of my dress slippers when something catches my eye on the top shelf.

I jump up and grab the object and pull it down. It is cat ears, fake ones obviously. I remember now that when I was little I used to wear thes all the time, they were a gift from my mother before she died in a logging accident. I clip them into my hair and walk outside.

"So what do you think," I say to my father and sister, I do a little twirl then stand still.

"Wow," my father says."You look beautiful and I like the cat ears." I giggle and the horn sounds to go to the reaping. All our smiles fade away into looks of horror and sadness.

Kai Shadows- D7 male

I here the horn sound. My two sisters come running out of there rooms. There is Faith who is 18 and there is my little sister Una, she is 12. We all hug.

"We are going to be okay," Faith says. "It won't be us, it will be someone else."

My parents walk into the room. There eyes are big and full of worry.

"Come kids, it's time to go," my mother says gentley. I put my grey dress shoes on and my parents guide us outside. The walk there is always silent. No kids talk, no parents talk, all everybody does is walk. I hold my younger sisters hand since this is her first reaping. She said she wasn't nervous, but you can tell, Imean she's shaking.

When we get there we stand in line to sign in. "Okay Una we are just signing in rigt now," I say. "They are just going to take a little blood from your finger, okay." She nods her head. I go in front of her to show her how it's done, that it is not that big of a deal. The woman pricks my finger and dabs it on apeice of paper. She shouts "Next" and dissmises me.

I stand with the 15 year old boys. There over 50 of us. Our escort Sellie Hannah walks on stage and gives a small wave as ou Mayor Truut and some other Capitol officials walk on stage.

"Shalom District 7 and welcome to our 10th Quarter Quell reaping," she says. "Before we begin selecting our 2 fine tributes here is a little speech from our mayor." Sellie skips back to her seat nearly triping over high heels.

Our mayor says his little speech, it's nothing too special, he sits back down and Sellie walks back up to the Microphone.

"It is now time," she says with a big grin. She walks over to the girls bowl and pulls out a slip. "Selena Kyle," she reads. A 17 year old emerges from the crowd and walks on stage. Sellie goes over to the bowls bowl and chooses a slip from the very bottom. She opens it and reads "Kai Shadows." My worst nightmare has come true. The kids in front of me make a path and I slowly walk up to the stage.

"Now are there any Volunteers?" Sellie asks. I cross my fingers and hope really hard, but nobody comes forward.

"Now then, here are your tributes from District 7!" Sellie shouts and Selena and I shake hands.

Asher Lairith- D8 male

I am woken by my mother. She gentley rubs my forhead and brushes hair out off my face.

"Asher it's time to wakeup," she says. "And I finally finished your outfit for the reaping." My eyes fly open and land on the outfit. It's a green button up shirt and a pair of black dress pants. I know it will look good on me, I can wear anything. I grab the outfit out my mothers hands and race to the bathroom.

"Asher, you have one hour in there," she hollars. I don't think that that's fair, it just takes me that long to do my hair, but I will have to make do. I start myself a bath and scrub away the dirt between my fingernails and my feet. When I finish with the bath I drain the water out and dry myself off.

I look into the mirror. I flick my hair to one side, not good looking, I flip it to the other side, it's okay but not me. I spike it up, definatley not, I let it fall straight down, perfect. I slip on the outfit and button up the shirt. I do look good, good enough to get any girl in the world. But I don't want just any girl, I want Amalia. I have liked her for the longest time, I have sent her notes, gave her flowers, I even tried talking to her and she still hasn't acknowlged me. That's okay though, someday she will notice how sexy I am and go out with me.

After I am done in the bathroom, I go into the kitchen and eat some bread that my mother got from the bakery. It's fresh and warm, just like Amalia.

"Hey son," my father walks in the room. "You are dressed really fancy today, more han usual anyway, I have never seen you wera that before."

"Mum just finished making it for me," I reply.

Suddenly I hear the horn to go to the reaping. I gasp and put my hands on my cheeks. I almost forgot that today is the day for the reaping. I slip on a pair of black dress shoes and walk out my door. I see Amalia and run over towards her.

 Raquel Numez- D8 female 

Once I hear the horn I feel anxious. I don't know if it's in a good way or a bad way, all  I know is that if it's me I'll win. My family is the richest in District 8. My father owns a factory that makes clothing.

I step outside with my parents and start to walk towards the reaping. My beautiful orange dress blows in the warm breeze and I look to be the most beautiful girl in 8. The other girls are wearing old and crappy blue and black gowns, whle mine is beautiful and bright.

Once we arive at the reaping I wait in line to get my finger pricked. Once the woman has I stand with the 17 year old girls and wait for our escort to walk on stage. She does, her name is Trew Valeniinn. She is beautiful, but I am more.

"Hello District 8 and greetings," she starts. "As you all know this is the reaping for the 10th Quarter Quell, but before we choose this years tributes here is a little speech from our mayor."

Our mayor walks up out of his seat and starts to read a small speach off a small peice of paper. When he finishes he sits back down in his seat and Trew walks back up. "Now it is time to select our tributes," she says.

She trots over to the girls bowl and plops her hand in. She digs around for a moment and then pulls out a slip. She unfolds it and reads, "Raquel Numez."

It's me. I am actually quite anxious because I have a very high chance of winning. I stand up on stage as Trew selects the boy. "Asher Lairith," she reads.

A boy my age emerges from the crowd and we shake hands. We are both the tributes from 8.

 Glitter Sparkle- D9 female 

I wakeup, it's late morning. I hop out of bed and skip into the kitchen.

"Good morning mom," I say. "Where is dad?" My mother looks up from her cooking.

"He's at the reaping, he had to go early to set things up," she replies. My dad is head Peacekeeper of District 9, we used to live in the Capitol but when my dad got offerd the job we moved to 9. I consider 9 my home, since this is where I live and I was excepted right away.

I sit down in a chair at our kitchen table and my mom sets a couple slices of wheat toast on my plate.

"Eat up," she says. "It is going to be a long day." I munch down my pieces of toats and then enter back into my room. I pull back the doors to my closet and examine all my dresse, which one should I choose? I decide on a light blue knee length dress with shoulder straps. I also grab a pair of light blue leggings. I slip my clothing on then sit down at my desk.

I exmine notes that I have taken down from watching old Hunger Games. I know everything there is to know about the games. Sometimes my father and I bet on tributes together and we are usually right on the victor. I have researched for so long that I know that I am ready, I know that I cn do it, I am going to volunteer.

I know I would win because I have studdied them for so long that I even kno what weapon I will prefer, a knife, it's simple but definatley deadly. I brush back a few papers on my desk and find a picture of me and my father in the Capitol. I have the exact same light purple colour hair as I do now, except I was a lot smaller. I here the horn sound for the reaping and I know that it's my time, it's my time to Volunteer.

 Brett Ward- D9 male 

I hear the horn sound. I run outside of my house and see my holw family waiting for me.

"Come on Brett," my brother Brett calls. There are 5 of us in all. Brian who is 17 is the oldest, fallowed by me, then Brianna (14), then Brad (13) and then Brenda (12). We have a huge family, and a hard working one at that. We own a couple small farms and I work in the feilds every time I can.

All 6 of us plus our parents start our walk towards the reaping. Brenda is on my left and Brianna on my right, we all hold hands. I am horribly scared, if I am chosen I certainly won't win, but I won't go down without a fight. Once we arive at the reaping I get my finger pricked, like every year it feels soar after, then I go and stand with the 15 year old boys. We all crowd around and wait for something to happen.

Our escort Erique Flay walks on stge fallowed by our mayor.

"Greetings District 9 and welcome to he reaping," he says. "Here is a little speech from our mayor. Our mayor gets up, says his little speel and then sits back down. "Thank you Mr. Mayor for that wonderful speech," Erique says. "And now finally for the time everyone has been waiting for, the selection of the tributes."

He waltses over to the girls bowl and grabs a slip. "Sallin Perse," he calls out. A girl my age walks on stage. Erique wals over to the boys bowl, reaches in, digs around for a moment and the retrieves a slip. "Brett Ward." I gasp, it's me, I can't believe it's me. I rub my forhead and walk up onto stage.

"And now are there any Volunteers?" Erique asks.

"I volunteer," a girl screams from the crowd. She starts to walk up onto the stage. I recognize her, she is the head Peacekeepers daughter, she is very annoying and a little know it all. I lean over and shake her hand.

 Dirge- D10 male 

I wakeup, It is the morning. I look out the window and see the wineding feeld in front of my house. I live alone, I have no parents and nobody knows much about me except that I am a creepy 18 year old that is freakishly tall and wears a black cloack and a skull mask and I only show myself when it's the reaping time. Well I don't really like people and the only reason that I where the mask is because I don't want anyone to see my face, It won't be what anyone expects.

I walk into my small kitchen and quickly make myself some eggs that I got from my chickens. After I eat I go outside, grab a bag of feed and throw the seeds everywhere. The chickens go bizurk trying to get every last peice of the seeds.

I go back into my house and slip on a black pair of pants, a black trench coat and my cloack and skull mask on. I enter the bathroom, brush my teeth and then scrb the dirt out between my fingers. You would be surprised about how much dirt you can have between your fingers from being from 10.

I sit down at my table and just wait, wait for the horn can sound to go to the reaping. If I am chosen I don't really care because my life is a shit hole anyway. But if I was chosen I wouldn't mess with because I am dangerous enough to kill, I prefur scythes.

I wish I knew more about my life, all I can remember is that my parents died and I have no family, but that is all. I hear the horn go off. I get up and stride towards the door. I turn the handle and fling open the door. The warm air hits me as I slowly walk down the path to get to the main road, to go to the reaping.

Brianna Abberdeen- D10 female

The horn sounds and I am bairley ready. I grab a black ankle length gown, a pair of white dress slippers and I let my hair down. I put my outfit on and then burst out of my front door. I see my family, thaey are all waiting for me.

"Sorry," I say. They all still look at me, my parents look upset, my older brother looks mad and my younger brother has a constipated look on his face. We all laugh and then start towards the reaping. I grasp my siblings hands and my parents hold hands. I have a fairley happy life. I have a roof over my head, a nce happy family and I am kind've a legened in District 10. I am known as "The girl who takedown bulls." Which I can, when someones cows or bulls run a stray I can run up and tackle it to the ground.

We arive at the reaping and my siblings and I sign in and stand with our age groups.

Our escort Quen Opal walks on stage and greets us. "Welcome District 10 and greetings," she starts. "This is the reaping for the 250th Hunger games and the 10th Quarter Quell, before we begin here is a little speech from our mayor."

Our mayor gets up on stage and says his nice little speech then sits down in a chair beside Quen. Quen gets up and proceeds to the microphone. "Now for the selection of the tributes," she says. She walks over to the girls bowl and grabs a slip and reads. "Brianna Abberdeen." I can't beleive it, out of everyone it's me, I walk up on stage as Quen chooses a boys slip and reads "Dirge."

A boy wearing all black and a skull mask emerges from the crwowd. Oh no not him, I have avoided him all my life, he creeps me out.

"Can you take off your mask?" Quen asks. He shakes his head. Some peacekeepers walk on stage and grab him and they start to tusstle. They finally manage to rip off his mask and I can't beleive what I am seeing. Under that scary mask is a very pail boy with soft skin, almost impossible, he opens his eyes and they are tomato red, he is kind of beautiful.

The Tribute Parade
 District 1: 

The first chariot roles out onto the streets and the Capitol is amazed already. The chariot is  pulled by two white horses with tails and mains dyed purple. It is made of purple stainless steel with a bunch of little light blue diamonds bejewled around the rims causing a disco ball efect as the light hits off of them. The back drags purple fur, the Capitol people are impressed by the chariot and even more impressed by the tributes. Mercury is wearing a beautiful dress with the top made of the same kind of light blue diamonds that dips down in the center showing off a bit of clevage. The bottom half is made of purple fur that starts very high on her left leg and travels down diagonally down to her right knee, showing off her beautiful legs. She also wears  a lighter colour purple high heel boots that travel up to her mid thigh with the same light blue incrested diamonds at the top. Her hair is tied up into a fairley odd shape. It is like a volcano and out of no where purple, white and pink confetti shoots everywhere stunning the crowd. She also wears two braclets both imbeded with with diamonds and a necklace that at the back atatches into a giant collor (like vampires where) that has the same purple fur. Orion is very similar. He wears a diamond incrested muscle shirt that does what is intended, showing off his muscles. He wears shorts made of the purple fur that flows in the wind as the chariot move. His hair is all spiked up into a fo-hawk. He eears two diamond incrested arm bands and a choker that has the collar at the back which is made of diamonds instead of the fur. The tributes from District 1 has amazed the Capitol once again and made a huge impression on Panem.

 District 2: 

District 2 emerges from the gates and the crowd starts to cheer loud, very loud. The chariot resembles a giant rock that has just been mined from the nut. It is pulled by two black and grey horses that triamphutley trot along. The tributes are amazing and jaw dropping beautiful. Ivy wears a mid thigh dress that when nears the bottom turns into a rock with metal spikes sticking out at random spots resembling knives and sticking out of rocky walls. The top of her dress are large metal triangles that spike up to her shoulders resembling armour. She wears pionted metal high heels. Her hair is tied up in an elaborate braid that cris-crosses and loops. Stuck through her hair are two of the giant spikes. She has minimal makeup on, just a bit of blush to rosy her cheaks and some black eyeliner. Avias is weraing his shirt as a giant rock similar to Ivy's with the metal spikes sticking out everywhere. His pants are very interesting, they are similar to the top of Ivy's dress. It starts out as a metal rectangle covering his valuables and then forms into two metal triangles that cover the majority of his legs. He also wears minimal makeup, just some black eyeliner. Both tributes wave confidently to the crowd and smile. The pair from District 2 have stunned the crowd and made sure that they will get lots of sponsors.

District 3

There is only one word to describe District 3's chariot: Mess. The chariot is pulled by two small grey horses that drag the cart along. The chariot is made of giant plates that resemble computer hard drives and it drags giant wires on the back. The two tributes do not look any better. Eliza is wearing a shirt that has the same patterns, the computer hard drive that flow all the way down to her rists then dissperses the wires again. Her pants are made of all the wires chris-crossed and flipped which causes an ugly look as all the colours are mashed together. Her hair is staraightend to make her hair look blocky and she wears a headdress that is made of all the wires wrapped around. Gauge wears his clothes the same way Eliza does. He has the computer hard drive shirt that instead coils at the back of his shirt that at his wrist and he has the same wire pants and head dress. His hair is all straightended upwards to make the same kind of block efect. Both tributes have makeup on. Eliza has light green eyeliner with  long fake eyelashes and her cheeks are pamperd with a green glitter. Gauge has a green lip liner circled around his lips and then up to his eyes encircling them. He also has the green glitter on his cheeks. Eliza waves confidentley but Gauge seems a little shyer than her. Overall the Capitol was dissapointed with District 3 and thought they had too much to look at on.

 District 4 

The District 4 chariot emerges onto the streets and picks up the crowd from the Dissapointment of District 3. The cart is spray painted a blue background and has different coloured, shaped, and sized peices of coral sticking out at place wavibg in the air as the cart breezes through the streets. The cart is pulled by two night black horses. The tributes are amazing and they capture the Capitol's attention. Aqua is the prettiest she has ever been since she has arived in the Capitol. She wears a flowing ankle length gown that has different coloured blue and green fabrics that are piled on top of eachother that flows down to her ankles. She wears light pink boots that at the top branch off into the coral that is seen on the chariot itself. Her her his a lighter colour then her usual green, it is more of a dark blonde with a green tint. It flows down to her mid back just like the dress flows. She wears a small pearl necklace and a pearl head peice. Leon looks very hansome. He wears a small chunk of the blue and green fabric that covers his valuables and is tied at his right hip with the pearls. He wears no shirt attracting a lot of excitment from the female Capitalians. He also wears the same pink boots but instead of coral it branches of to the sides making it look like fish fins. He wears the same pearl head piece and necklace as Aqua. Both tributes wear little makeup. Aqua wears pink eyeliner tying into her boots and some pink lipstick. Leon's cheeks are rosier in the pink colour. Both tributes are waving confidentley to the crowd smiling. The District for tributes are eye cathching and stupendous, they will definatley be racking in sponsors.

 District 5 

District 5 has improved highly from last year. As the chariot emerges the crowd goes wild. The chariot is pulled by two white hoses with light blue paterns dyed around it's body. The chariot is a normal black chariot that has bolts of light blue electricy zooming around the chariot captivating the audience. The tributes both match the theme of Power perfectly. Illuminate wears a light blue vest attatched by 3 black strips that show off sme of her breasts. The vest cuts down at her hips into a giant poofy mid-thigh dress coloured light blue and black, truely captivating. She also wears beige high heels. Her hair is tied up in a bun with two curls that fall down at the sides of  her forhead. Veto wears a light blue jacket and a white button up uder shirt. He has 4 chris-crossed black strips that attach  the jacket sides together. He also wears a light blue bow tie. He wears beige calve length pants that attatch up to his shoulders with black suspenders. Both tributes have metal attracters sticking off there clothes that have electricity flying between them. Both have a sparkler with light blue sparks flying off. Illuminate has dark eyeliner aroun her eyes and bright red lips. Veto also has dark eyeliner. The crowd is enchanted by the chariots and with this improvment from last years chariot Illuminate and Veto are a shoe in for first place.

 District 6 

The District 6 chariot comes flying out and the crowd has died down a bit from District 5, but there are still many cheers. The chariot is pulled by two black stalions. The chariot itself is painted a bright red colour and decorated with different sized tires. Both tributes match the theme of transportation well. Rhonda wears a dress made entirley of tires. The tires are smaller at her waist and grow larger as they dip down to her ankles. The same thing happens with her arms. She wears a two tires spray painted red on her head and bright red dress slippers. Constantos wears the exact same pattern instead it's in the form of a tuxedo. The tires are a lot smaller at his waist and only grow a little bit in size at his legs and arms. He wears a white button up shirt under the annicial jacket and a ski-doo tread is painted red and cut properly to make his tie. He also wears the same headpiece as Rhonda. Both tributes wave confidentley and blow kisses to people in the crowd. Rhonda and Constantos where little makeup to make themselves look natural. Rhonda wears red lip-stick and some black eyeliner. Constantos' cheeks are powderd with red blush. This has been a lot better than usual for District 6 but is it enough to place 1st?

District 7

District 7 chariot and costumes: Awesome!! The chariot is pulled by two magnifisent brown and white horses that pull the amazing pair a long. The chariot is decorated in a bunch of branches sticking out and coverd in the fall coloured leaves, yellow, red, and orange. Some leaves fly off sprinkling the crowd with tokens of the tribute parade. Selena wears a v-neck lumber jack shirt that shows off some clevage. Her bottom is a skin tight brown skirt that goes down to the ground and disperses out making her legs look like a tree trunk and the bottom tree roots. Her hair is tied up into a messy bun and is decorated with the fall leaves. She also wears a leaf braclet. Kai has the same thing going on. He wears a lumber jack shirt and skin tight pants that spread into roots at the bottom. He wears a crown made of leaves and he holds a lumber jack axe. Both tributes wear quite a bit of makeup. Selena has a light yellow eye liner, fake black eyelashes, an orangey red coloured blush and her nails are painted in the fall leave colours. Kai has a little less makeup, just some yellow eyeliner and some orangey red blush. The stylist that did this years District 7 costume should be comended because they kept theme of trees, but made it more modern and sexy. The pair from District 7 are eye catching and beautiful.

 District 8 

The district of textiles has captured the crowd once again. The chariot pulled by two beautiful brown horses looks amazing as usual. It is draped in a light pink see through sheet that spreads all the way to the back making a train like you see on wedding dresses. Raquel wears a light grey onsie that cuts off at the legs making it look like a bathing suit. Draped over her is the same fabric that is used on the chariot that she uses as a cape. She wears light blue high heels.Her hair is made into a bun which seems to be the girls hair of the night, except what's different is that there is a giant sewing needle shoved right through. Asher wears only a small grey article that looks like underwear over himself. He has the same cape draped over himself and he is has light blue slippers. His hair is brushed over to one side. Both tributes wear makeup. Raquel has light pink everything, blush, eyeliner, lipstick and eyeshadow. Asher has a little light pink eyeliner and that is it. Both tributes look stuck up and snobby not waving to the crowd making them even more wanted. The tributes from eight are at the top of the best dressed and at the top of the sponsors list.

District 9

Ouch District 9 has failed a gain. The horses are just plain brown hoses that pull a normal chariot with a buch of wheat stuck to it. The tributes don't look much better. Both Glitter and Brett are practically naked with just strips of wheat covering there most valuable areas. Both are in bare feet and have no makeup. Aside from there horendous costumes both wave confidentley and have smiles on there face. Sadly because of there stylist the pair from 9 will definatley drop in sponsors and give them a horrible out look for the rest of the games.
