DERRY

Location: Reapings
Mood: Slightly Nervous
Talking to: Nobody
Status: Single

Derry stood nervously, glancing around at all the others the same age as her. This year, she was the only person in her family to have a chance in the Games, since Meg had turned 19. She knew pretty much everybody here, and it saddened her to know that one of them was going to die. There was the girl who lived down the road from her family. There was the boy whose father was close friends with her father. All of these people, living normal lives like hers, who each stood a chance of being torn apart from their families and put in an arena to fight to the death. Two families will never be the same again, after today.

On the scaffold, a man put his hand in the glass bowl for the female tributes.
Please not me, please not me. she thought, hoping that somebody else would have to see the horrors in the Arena. The man looked up at the crowd solemnly, giving no hints of emotion.
"Derry Wood." he said, his voice booming across the square in which they were gathered. She heard her mother give a sob, and turn around. Meg was standing, her hand over her mouth, glancing at her. Her father and Cody was comforting her mother, and the rest of her siblings were looking around, confused and upset. She felt the cameras stare at her, and she wanted to push them away, although she knew that if she did, her family could be hurt. Instead, she stared at them, her sadness reflecting in her eyes, and let herself be taken away by the Peacemakers.

DERRY

Location: Justice Building
Mood: Anxious & Upset
Talking to: Nobody
Status: Single

Derry let the numb feeling wash over her. Everything seemed to be happening in a blur. One minute, she was as normal as anybody else, and the next she was expected to fight in an arena to the very end. The Peacemakers were still surrounding her, making sure she didn't try to run.
All I want, she thought, Is to see my family. Because any day now, I could die. And I don't want to.

She glanced up at the Peacekeepers nervously. They were pushing her along, almost, staring deeply into space and sparing her no sympathy. Derry would have died right then, just to see her family and to feel their love, just when she needed it the most.
"Can I see my family?" she asked. They did not answer her, and led her into a small room. She sat down on a chair, and began sobbing quietly. She hadn't cried for years, not since Chandra had died. She was interrupted by a small knock, and when she looked up, she spotted Lottie gazing at her sadly. There was no point in hiding the tears anymore, and her family joined her, wondering what they had done to deserve this.

"Oh, Derry..." her mother cried, "My little girl..."
It pained her to see her mother in such a state, and she let out another sob.
"We need to think positive." she said, fighting back tears. "I'll win, for all of us. And if I lose, I'll go and keep Chandra company, and make sure you're all happy, wherever I end up. And I promise that, I promise it on my life."

(ur in the Justice Building, then to the trains =3)

District 1||Train||Spark

Spark took a deep breath as she boarded the train. She twirled a lock of her hair and waved to everyone outside, trying to be brave for her family. I'll be joining my mother and father soon, She nodded, trying to keep herself calm. She bit her lip and went to her room in the car. She opened her closet to find a silk nightgown and some epic clothes. She drew in a breath, surpressing a small smile. "These are beautiful..." She whispered to herself. Considering Spark's aunt lived in a poorer part of town, Spark hadn't seen things like this in a while. She blinked and closed the closet. Now is not a time to focus on clothes. There was a beep from somewhere in the room. Spack looked around, wondering where it came from and why. A blinking light by the door caught her eye. As she walked closer, she noticed a button. On pressing it, a small portion of the wall opened, showing a speaker. She tilted her head as a voice crackled in. "Time for dinner!" Spark pressed a different button, and spoke. "Okay, be right down." She pressed the original button and opened the room's door, exiting to eat dinner, wiping tears from her face as she went.

~Rebecca Heartford~
.:Becca:.

Rebecca was quickly ushered off to the justice building. As the peacekeepers pushed her along she glanced back at the crowd. They all had a sad look in there eyes. Probably because they all knew what happened to her family. Probably because they knew she was going to die. 'Never look back' her fathers words echoed in her mind, she quickly turned back around.

As she entered the Justice building she tried to focus on the ellegance of it so she wouldn't have to focus on the matter at hand, The hunger games. She was ushered into a fancy room where she took a seat on a couch. Becca didn't have to wait long for her first and only visitors, her family. Brian was holding Cassie who was fidgety. For the the first time Becca saw that Brian was trembling, that he was weak and shaking. She took in a shakey breath before looking at Emily who was a wreck. Tears were streaming down her face and every once and a while, sobs would wrack her body. They were all silent for a long time before Becca said, "Thank you. Thank you for being my family"

Emily looked at her a small smile coming over her face as she threw her arms around Becca in a hug, "We love you Becca, don't you ever forget that." Becca rested her head on Emily's shoulder, enhaling her sweet scent before pulling back, "I'm going to die aren't I?"
"Don't even say that," Brian shot back, "You're strong and Cassie need's you. We need you."
"Win, Becca, promise me you'll win." Emily said, getting firm as more tears threatened to take over.

Becca nodded slowly, "I'm coming back to you." she wiped the first tears out of her eyes. They stayed together a moment longer, hugging and kissing and finishing the goodbyes but then the peacekeepers and dragged Becca off to the train station, "We love you Becca...Come back to us" was all she heard before she entered the train and collapsed in tears, trembling

~Rebecca Heartford~
.:Becca:.

Becca felt someone pick her up and carry her to her room. She felt her body get carefully set on the bed, but she didn't budge, she didn't look up, she didn't stop crying. She knew that this was the only place she could cry without anyone seeing her or caring or thinking she was weak. Becca thought of her family, thought of there hugs and voice, but most of all, she rubbed her necklace, her token Emily and Brian had given to her. It was a gold heart-shaped locket and inside it was pictures of the family, happy and united.

It wasn't long before someone called Rebecca to dinner but she didn't get up, didn't move, just stayed crumbled on the bed.Someone came in and silently set her food on a table before leaving again. Rebecca didn't touch, she was in no mood to eat. She was in no mood to be without her family or without a friend. She felt the train start to slow and someone called out that they would be arriving at the capitol soon. That's when Becca finally got up and decided to get a hold of her self.

She slipped into the shower, pressing a series of buttons. Usually the shower would have been the most amazing thing in the world, but Becca was busy concentrating on not crying again. She slipped out of the shower and pulled on some clothes that reminded her of home. She then sat down to eat her now cool food. Becca had finally gained control of herself and she knew it would be a long time before she lost it like that again and she was grateful.
