Reaping day. A sense of forboding settled over Sophie as she stood with the girls of her district. Effie Trinkit reached into the girls bowl and read the name. Tina Mellark. Her sister, barely seven, had been called. President Grace-President Snow's daughter-had lowered the age to include kids as young as six. She watched in shock as her sister was called, then lunged forward. It was just like with her mother and her Aunt Prim. Two Peacekeepers stepped forward and grabbed her. "WAIT!" She cried as Tina was dragged towards the stage. "I volunteer." She announced, eyes hard. Silence followed her words, then Effie beamed. "Just like her mother." She chuckled. "Keith, take Tina." She said, glancing towards her best friend, Kieth Hawthorne. The boy, three years older than herself, stepped forward and grabbed Tina who shrieked and struggled. Ignoring her, Sophie mounted the steps to stand at Effie's side.
