~reaping day~
(Authors note sorry about any bad writing I’m still improving!)
As the sun peaked through my window my brother started to shake me awake “Scarlet you gotta wake up” he said a bit annoyed “mhm” “scarlet it’s reaping day you need to get ready” “that’s today..?!” I almost shoot right out of bed “yeah it’s today” he fixed his shirt collar “Tommy can you help me tie my shoes…?” My little brother rubbed his eyes as he walk over “yeah bud hold on as Thomas went to tie my little brothers shoes and went to the bathroom where my reaping day dress hung a light steel blue dress with a white trim and a matching white ribbon tie…after a put my dress on I undid my braids I like how it makes my hair wazy..even though my hair is already wazy. I heard a gentle knock on the door and my mom peered in “sweet hard breakfast is ready when your done” she smiled gently and continued “don’t worry sweetheart okay..?” It took me a second to respond “okay” I nodded and she went to go serve breakfast as if I shied getting ready I remember all the nightmares I’ve had about reaping day when I 12 I had nightmares about the game I couldn’t shake it my family thinks they went away but sometimes I still get them.
I walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen my fam lit sitting at the table my dad sipping on his juice my oldest brother eating some and toast he’s lucky he won have to worry about getting picked to go.. my youngest brother was eating his toast and I sat down next to him to eat every reaping day we’ve always had a big breakfast snide you never know if it will be your last home cooked breakfast. After we finished breakfast we quickly cleaned up so we could head to the town plaza near the justice hall

~The Reaping~
After we had separated are mayor started reading off the history of Panama the one we hear every year one of my friends could practically recite his whole speech. I look down at my shoes as he continues my nerves setting in a bit I wonder who’s going to be set off to the capital this year my thought are cut short as the mayor starts to introduce the lady who will be picking the name she had a nice shade of baby blue hair..or maybe it’s a wig but she had a beautiful blue dress that matched her hair and white gloves and skin almost as whit as her gloves.. and her name was Crysta Sloane… “Happy hunger games! Let the odds be ever in your favor” crysta smiled “now it’s is such an honor to be here!” She went on for a bit about how much of an honor it was to be here the last lady we had got moved up to another district I wonder is she wants moved up too my thoughts have been cut short gain as she speaks “well you know what they always say! Ladies first” she walked over to the glass bowl and put her hand in the bowl stirring it around a bit and picked out a paper and walks back to the podium and she took a deep breath “The female tributes for district 10 is…Scarlet Blackbird!” My jaw almost dropped open and the peacekeepers came to get me and people my age shuffled out of the way my little brother eyes filling with tears as he watched me walk up on stage my minter clinging my father and my oldest brother staring at the floor… “do we have any volunteers?” Crysta asked after I got up on stage I looked around silently, hoping someone would raise their hand but I knew in my heart no one would…”Okay let’s give Miss Scarlet a round of applause!!” The people of district 10 applauded as I attempted to smile out to the crowd knowing my face would be all over the screens and tv’s in the capital. “Now for the boys!” Crysta announced after the applause finished she had put her hand in the bowl again and stirred it around picked out another paper and walled to the podium “The male tribute for district 10 is….Callum ColeBrooke!” My heart almost shattered as I watched the, go to the 12 age group the boy was standing near my brother…the boy;s monger cried out “NOT HIM PLEASE…!” As his father hugged his mom as a peacekeeper told her be quiet down as Crysta cleared her voice “Now any volunteers…!” She said surprisingly cheerful and she waited a for a minute “Okay now give a round of applause for Mr.Callum!!” The crowd applauded again then the mayor reads the treaty as it is mandatory I hear silent sobs form Callum and when I looked over at him he wiped his eyes trying to look brave I assume..the mayor finish the treaty and motioned for me and the little bro to shake hands I wonder why they always had us do that and walked over to the boy and crouched down to his height and shook his hand as we shook hands the anthem played and I looked out the crowd the nerves set in again I seen things game before I’ve seen kids beat,slash and stab each other to death for survival I’ve seen some of those tribute who looked like they were built like gods..if I’m lucky I’ll get an easy and painless death it would be insane from for me to think I had a chance maybe district 12 with will get another win this year. The peacekeepers had us go into the justice hall me and Callum were separated into different rooms as I gently tapped my foot and my little brother ran in tears streaming down his face I gently hugged him letting cry “Scotty listen okay?” He sniffled and nodded “I’ll be okay alright..?” I knew I was lying and I couldn’t bare to see my famous like this my mom was hugging dad tears filled her eyes like an lake Tommy wiped his eyes looking at the floor my dad had a sadden expression on his face as he held my mom..”You’ll see me on the tv a-and I’ll always be with you remember..?” Scotty nodded sniffing “Remember my toys I don’t let you play with and how I hide them?” Scotty looked up still sniffing “w-what do the toys have to do with this?” “Their yours their in the third kitchen cabinet behind the storage box keep them in good condition okay?”.
“O-okay I will” Scotty nodding seeming to be a bit more happy the he was when he first came in my mother gently broke away form my farther hug before going to hug me as well and the peacekeeper peered in “you have 3 more minutes theirs more busters who would like to be in” my farther nodded and hugged me as well my oldest brother hugged me as well and whispered “don’t make yours;feel too known..make alliances and definitely don’t get cocky..” he stated and after he let go of the hug the peacekeeper took my family out of the room and 3 of friend form school walked in Johnny,Eloise and piper. Piper spoke first “I hope you win scarlet” she tried to smile but it was like she couldn’t and I smiled a bit back at her attempt “I’ll try for you all and my family okay?” The 3 all said something along the lines of okay ”hey if any of those rich kid form those higher districts mess with you gut em” Johnny stated crossing his arm and Eloise hit his arm gently “Johnathan!” “What?” Johnny rolled his eyes a bit “will I’m being honest they better not give a costume that makes you look like a laughing stock!” I laughed a tiny bit “I’m with you on that one” the same peacekeeper peered in “2 more minutes you lot” we all nodded “well good luck” piper stated and Eloise spoke up again “we’ll be watching okay?” I nodded and the peacekeeper made them leave as fast they came. A couple seconds of silence I could hear Callum mom still crying then I don’t think I would have any more visitors after a couple more family members popped in. After my grandma and grandpa left the peacekeeper came in and lead me out the room along with Callum with another peacekeeper they lead to a car and I’ve never ever seen one or those before I mean I’ve seen a horse and buggy but never a car after the got us in with Crysta we set off…————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
(Authors note! Next part I’ll come soon!)
~the train to the capital~
The car kept moving as I looked out into the crowd many reporters and photographers Callum was still crying I mean I couldn’t blame him we were like lambs being sent to slaughter. Crysta was trying to comfort Callum telling him all the greatest of the capitol and how amazing everything was going but he continued to sniffle. Crysta frowned and got out a tissue to whip away the little boys tears I felt horrible for him.it felt like these most recent games have been the most painful and violent maybe 6 or 7 games ago a girl had tracked down every single tributes and had slammed their hands to floor and gutted them it was obvious she would’ve won. As I looked in my small bag to see the gifts my grandma had gave me (authors note sorry chat I forgot to write that In I forgot to check my before I posted 😭😭) inside the bag was a small necklace with a locket with a dragon fly on it,a little bag of coffe cake she always made really good coffee cakes,some cookies that my uncle had made and finally a letter with a blue ribbon with a white lace trim tied around it.. I’ll read when I get on the train. Then the car pulled to a stop and we got out Crysta lead us into the train smiling and waving to the photographers once we had stepped into the train I took a glance around and it was one of the most futuristic things I’ve ever seen. “Now children these will your mentors this year!” Crysta announced “this is Holden” she pointed to a man who had a clean cut buzz one scar on his right cheek and another a rock the bridge of his nose and he nodded to us “now this is Visha!” She pointed to a lady with freckles, waving brown hair, and gold stud earrings “evening” the lady smiled and nodded “hi” I lol,Ed at both of them and Callum sniffled “h-hello”. Crysta nodded “aren’t they the sweetest now you can look around at your rooms or stay out here just be back for suppers at 8!” She said cheerfully.
I heard over to my and it was one of the most luxurious rooms I’ve ever been in it had a huge bed,a dark wood dresser,and when I walked into the bathroom it looked like it was pure marble,the shower looked richer then me and it couldn’t even make any money..I took my little bag of gifts and set them on the dresser and chose to look in the dresser draws. Their were almost everything color of dressing I could think of form mahogany to piggy pink. Apparently it was only gonna take us a day to get to the capital which made me a bit upset I have the access to basically every color of clothing and I can only wear one?think about how it will only take a day what if the caption takes my gifts? Maybe I should read the letter now..i opened the small bag and took the letter out gently sliding off the ribbon and opened it
“Dear scarlet,
If you have gotten this letter this means you have been reaped
Now don’t fear each of these gifts represents something special even if you don’t understand now you’ll understand later
This letter,coffee cake,cookie,and tea locket all have something you will understand
Love,your grandma”
Well that seemed cryptic I;m guessing the coffee cake is supposed to symbolize now judging a person by their cover when I was 6 before I tried my grandma coffee cake I thought it would bad because I didn’t like coffee I didn’t want to try till one day I did and I loved it..the cookies probably mean a bond between family but now I wonder what does the letter or the dragonfly locket mean..? It tugged at my brain for the rest of ride and before I knew it supper once I came out of my I sat down across form Callum Crysta next to me,visha was next to Callum and Holden sat at the head of the table. When I looked at the food it looked absolutely delicious it was almost like gold sparkled off of the food as we ate reaping of past districts, played on the tv. As I watched the prettiest girl I have ever seen volunteered for district one dark brown hair,brown eyes,beautiful red lips a stunning voice… apparently her name is Penelope. I snapped my eyes away form the tv trying to evade suspicion going to continue eating Crysta poured me some strawberry soda and we all talked about mostly  miscellaneous things till Visha spoke up “now remember you need to shock the capital now something worth hatred But something to shock them in order for them to love you for sponsors” we all looked at her and she sipped on her sparkling water and Holden nodded in agreement. After supper was finished I had checked up on Callum he was doing better then he was before I headed to too and for someone reason I was stil hungry so I ate my coffee cake and cookie. I opened the dresser draws again and picked out a soft peach night gown with a white trim and went to fresher up. Their was 50 types of soap scents to chose form I was almost overwhelmed with how many choices I could make..I chose a rose scented one because you can never go wrong with flowers I think this is my first hot shower even I’m used to cold baths but this is nice I wish I could stay on this train long enough to get used to it.as I scrub my body and was thinking aground what my hair type could be in order to pick the right shampoo I wondered how my family was holding up was my mom okay? What about my dad? What about my brothers? I tried to push it away but it keep coming back my mom loves roses my dad would fake ones out of hay for her because they were are in 10. As I picked a rose scented shampoo i tried not to think of how much of a tragedy really was for the frist 2 districts, it was like a bunch of kids fighting to go for the lowers it was fight not to go..one thing I didn’t notice was a small rack of what I think are perfumes? Maybe I should smell them later. After I dried myself off and put in my night gown I smelled the perfume and they all smelled amazing it likes the capitol is trying to buttered us up before we’re set off it like they goodbye meals we would give to are farm animals before they were sent to butchered. After I set all the perfumes back it was already 11 so I thought I should get some rest and I got into bed and fell asleep in about 20 minutes.
~the first look at the capital~
The next morning I woke up at around 8 and I picked out a rock blue dress it was similar to my reaping day dress but more fancy I guess I too another shower and continued with my rose theme. I tied my ribbon toe on my collar and went to eat breakfast. The pancakes sparkle silver I had stacked up w pancakes and poured powder sugar,maple syrup,and I polled. Acoupels berries on their too and started eating Callum came in a bit late still in his pajama he started eating.”uhm mr.?” Callum looked at Holden and he nodded “uh do you have any survival skills? so I can start planing ahead..?” Holden took a deep breath “okay kid listen you too” he pointed at me “ I don’t know what this is could be a desert wasteland,an arctic forest or a tropical Island but you gotta find water either way 2 or more days without water Is basically death” Callum seemed a bit shaken but nodded “don’t forgot either now unless you get High trying score I want you maybe find a small supply pack near the whatever direction you’re running and take off if nothings near you go turn around and run into that arena when it not fun that way were you lose sight wait till night to get left I eve supplies if he craters are camping their don’t go for it” he looked at Visha “make alliances don’t be rude it gives them a reason to kill you” she took a sip of her coffee “we can brainstorm but I’d for you guys not to be too stressed before we’re even at the Capital she looked at the hunger games rerun on the screen “oh looked that me right their she pointed and we looked he looked the same but way younger and less freckles she had blood all over her and she was suffocating someone and Crysta gasped “Visha! Don’t scare the poor boy!” Visha smirked and Holden rubbed his forehead as call,um tried not to pay any mind and ate his food seeming to be make sacred then when he frist came out. After breakfast I stayed to help clean up well Callum got ready once he came out we continued watching reruns of the games till they made it the rotten that’s when district 12 got a Victor smart winning move he had their I might have to pick up a thing or two form him but I shouldn’t copy something from last games the higher tributes probably already trained to prevent it…once the clock hit 3 we made are arrived at the capital for what I imagine the capital looks like it was 10 times more luxurious and golden than I ever thought it would be,cars lined the streets and maybe blood fashion choices did too,towers as high as the sky’s and streets that looked lined by gold> they stoped and pointed at us like they were picking out farm animals and Crysta whispered to us “smile and wave kids!” She said cheerfully we did some Callum waved and smiled showing off his missing tooth. I waved and smiled trying to seem excited to go into an arena to fight for my life.
