Clove; Girl With the Knives
Chapter 2
I walked into the living car on the train and
sat down on the red couch. I clicked on the television and the
recaps began to play. District 1 had two gorgeous blondes, Marvel
and Glimmer. The girl had volunteered, just as I had, but for an
older girl, who was 18. I shook my head, what an idiot. The boy
however, was Reaped. His name rang out over the crowd.
“Marvel Cornwall.” His tall, lanky frame marched up
the stairs. His eyes gave a deathly stare out, daring people to
volunteer. No one blinked and eye. Next was us, District 2.
“Alexis Reed.” Then I volunteered. Next, Cato was
Reaped. District 3 was simple. Two younger kids, 14 maybe Reaped,
no volunteers. District 4. Oh yeah, this one should be good. I
burrowed down under my blanket to watch. A tall, dark haired girl
was on stage in the Victors chairs, accompanied by a tall bronzed
boy. The moment the escort Reaped a girl named May, the dark
haired gal went insane. She leapt up and stared to scream and
cry. The Peacekeepers came and tried to settle her down, but they
couldn’t. The bronzed man tightly wrapped his arms around
her and drug her off stage. “Well, excuse
Annie..she’s a little different!” the escort went on
to Reap a boy, 17 probably, named Luke, who was fit, tall and
strong looking. It was cut off then, and Districts 5-10 were
pretty much the same. Reaped, asking for volunteers, none, moving
on. District 11. The boy, Thresh, looked like competition. He had
volunteered for his younger brother. Aw, how sweet. Not. The
little girl, Rue is what they say, was tiny. Maybe weighing 80
pounds. She had nothing but birds in the back ground for her..I
don’t think even I could kill her. The next was District
12, my personal challenge. It all happened so fast,after the
Victor, Haymitch, fell off the stage. “Primrose
Everdeen.” the escort called out. The camera zoomed in on a
little girl, Rue’s size, but blonde. The girl tucked in her
shirt tail and began to walk forward. How the hell could I kill
her? Surely nobody would volunteer. 12 hadn’t had one in
such a long time! Then it happened. “I volunteer!”
some girl screamed, “I volunteer as tribute!” My jaw
dropped. A girl, probably 16, with dark hair walked up and hugged
Primrose. Maybe her sister? She walked up on stage. “Name
please?” the escort asked. “Katniss Everdeen.”
she answered. “Well, I’ll be my buttons that was your
sister!” The escort, Effie, laughed. Katniss nodded. A boy
named Peeta, handsome lad too, was Reaped. He stepped forward,
and Katniss got a pained look in her eyes. Were they dating?
Surely not, he was so handsome and she was..not. They shook
hands. The screen was black, and I looked up to see Cato,
standing behind me.
~hey guys. you like it?is it too
long? oh well. I hoped you liked the Reapings ;) It gets kinda
intense after this.. Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games,
but I will be using quotes from it :)! There will be slight
swearing..maybe some romance? Hm? Comment for notifiation
