So this is the reaping for District 12, the 12 year old girl Audacia Undersea :]

Audacia stood in the square with the other children. It was her first year in the Reaping. She was very nervous - it was her first year in the reaping and chances that she was going in were suddenly a lot more. The fact that she had applied for teserae didn't help. She clutched her best friend's hand tightly and prayed that she wouldn't get picked.

Amber Trinket, the District 12 escort, climbed up the stage. "Welcome, welcome!" she said, "To the 7th Quarter Quell. Happy Hunger Games! As you all know, this year, the tributes will be selected from the 12 year olds and 18 year olds. I will, as usual, start with the ladies." She thrust her hand into the bowl which held the names of the 12 year old girls. She pulled out a slip of paper and opened it. Audacia tightened her grip on her best friend's hand.

"And the 12 year old female tribute for this year this..." anounced Amber Trinket, "Audacia Undersea!"

The first feeling Audacia had was one of disbelief. This couldn't be true, she couldn't get picked. She thought maybe Amber had read the name wrong, but the look of horror on her family and friends' faces confirmed the fact that she had been reaped. Even her 18 year old drunken brother had turned pale. Audacia slowly let go of her best friend's hand and climbed onstage. "No need to look so horrified, child!" laughed Amber. Audacia glared at her. Amber had never had to live with the fear that she'd be reaped, she thought.
