159District 1 reapings
AN: Thirty reviews! And a third of the way through the reapings people! Okay, so I've got two spots left and I've decided that seven gets a Steven Fillburg. He is a bloodbath though, so I'm sure you guys are all very happy I won't have to kill any non-BBs. I may update later today with nine if I have enough time. Enjoy!
Silver Hartford D1
"Silver, what is so important about July fourth?" Magenta asked, she's been at college for three years even though she was smart enough to finish in one, just for the fun of getting degrees. No, not weird at all.
"Um… Independence Day." Magenta sighs, I'm not that amazing at history, which is why I'm here.
"It was independence day, for the United states, which no longer exist." She sighs, how does she expect me too know this stuff? It's not like they teach it in school.
I sigh and pack my things; I can feel myself heating up. I absolutely hate it when I get things wrong, I also hate emotions. But I figure I'm stuck with them. I wave goodbye to Magenta and make my way to victor's village, to see my other sister, Scarlet. She's been having the time of her life in Victor's village, but she hasn't let the rest of the family stay in the house. This only makes sense because her husband, Robert Cliff and her are trying to make a baby. It's stupid in my opinion to have kids if you're a victor, the Game makers will Guarantee that they are in the arena as soon as possible. I love the games, but a twelve year old hasn't won yet and there's a reason for it.
Here's the big argument that Scarlet and I are having. She doesn't want me to volunteer, making her a hypocrite since she volunteered at fifteen. She says that the games changed her and loads of sh*t similar to that. But she's happy isn't she? She has a husband, eventually a child and is a victor. What else could you ask for? I'm volunteering and winning the hunger games, it'll be as easy as killing a pumpkin. I knock on the door to my sister's house; she opens it quickly as if she was expecting someone. In this case, it's me.
"Hello Silver, come right on in!" Scarlet says cheerfully, giving me a hug before I walk in. It's hard to believe that she's the same person to had twelve kills on her kill list. But then again, the games did apparently 'change' her.
"It's nice to see you again Scarlet, so how are things going on in this part of the village?" I say as sweetly as possible, we try to procrastinate when there are sore subjects, what can I say? We enjoy the time we have with each other.
"Very nice, in fact, I saw that one of other victors, Sherri, is getting married!" Then scarlet goes one to ramble about how she's so happy for them and other stuff I can only begin to wish I cared about.

"What tactic did Russia use when Germany invaded them by foot?"
"They burned their own crops and cities so the German soldiers would get frostbite and starve, sir." I stand stiffly, but for me, this is my relaxed position. My father, who is head Peacekeeper also used to be a military leader, and did I mention that he's a victor too? He's strict, but that's what's made his units strong, merciless and perfect.
"Correct, you may now relax"
"Um… s-"
"What did you say?" oops, I forgot that I can't use the word um.
"Sir! I have made my choice." I say in a strong voice to make up for my error.
"And what is it?"
"I'm going to be victor of the 67th Hunger games." And I'm not lying, I'll kill anyone who finds themselves within five feet of me.
"What's your strategy?"
"Form a unit of the strongest tributes, the careers, and take down tributes systematically by searching through the whole arena." It would work easily, and the Game makers would probably help us too, by pushing closer tributes towards us. And the career pack would then easily dispose of them.
As I walk out of victors village I see another girl a little younger than me walk in. She'll be late for reapings! Well… on time. But that's late for us, a couple years ago people would camp out by the stage, idiots. The easiest way to volunteer is too run as soon as the escort grabs the slip. And don't bother yelling either; you have to save your breath for the dash to the stage. It doesn't matter anyway, the spots mine. They recently passed laws that allowed violence when making the dash, all injuries to the tribute would be tended to by the Capitol. I'm positive the laws were only passed so there'd be more violence, or in the Capitol, entertainment.
I look around for a decent competitor, there's a bunch of big guys getting ready. But their probably slow, I grab a chair and sit on it; calmly taking sips from my soda. Which I was smart enough to bring, unlike the other potential careers that will get thirsty and dehydrated. I sigh, my whole family is full of victors and peacekeepers, I wonder if I'll become a peacekeeper after I win the games. Nah… I'll do something else, I don't know what yet but it doesn't matter. I'm only really volunteering because it's easier. If you become a peacekeeper then you can't get married or have children for ten years. Unlike most victors here who get married almost within a year of being a victor.
After two hours of waiting, the escort finally shows. I quickly throw my soda in the nearest direction away from the area and toss my chair away. I have too be ready, I'm not going to loose my chance because I'm slow getting out of my chair. This is my time, and everyone else must know it. There is only one way I'd fail the games, If the careers betrayed me, but I'll make sure that won't happen. I'll get close too the careers and kill a few in there sleep if they get uncomfortable with my rule.
After the treaty of peace is said, I get ready to go. Once he takes the slip for the boys out of the reaping bowl, I slowly inch forward. Then he walks over to the bowl, now we're all sprinting, but I'm a little ahead of the others. Once I'm at the steps about half give up, but some guy jumps on my back. I jump then do a forward roll so he's shaken off, what made me think I couldn't do this without violence? I punch the nearest guy in the face, unfortunately he's just fazed. But it's enough, I make it to the center of the stage. Officially making me a tribute, and eventually a victor.

Idiot, he could've made it all the way without punching anyone. But no, he just had too appeal to the Capitol, jerk. Do you want to be subjected to what the Capitol has in store for you? I still wonder how he got that head start, when did he start moving? Or did he kick off something? Whatever, it doesn't matter now; I'm already sprinting to the stage. I jump over two girls in combat, and then I quickly dodge a kick aimed at my head. But that makes me loose my lead. Dammit. I push the girl in the leads head forward, making her trip over her own feet. I look behind me to see someone clinging onto my leg, that has to be cheating! I'm so close to the stage, I decide on jumping. I dive to the middle of the stage with the other girl still on my legs. If that other girl let go she might of had a chance, she could have let go after I dived and run two feet. But for some reason she was unable to do that. Idiot.
