Isabell blinked her eyes open sleepily. The reaping.. The words stung her mind like a thorn. She slowly got to her feet, then smiled. I won't get picked. Even if I do, I'm a career, I'll have a high chance of survival. Isabell told herself and staggered to the kitchen table. Her mother had laid out a perfect breakfast. Isabell grabbed a fork and started to eat.
Sapphira moaned as she hit the floor. I think I just rolled off of my bed... She thought and pulled herself up by using her bed. She looked around her house, her eyes still a bit blurry. She got to her feet slowly and looked around the small house. Even though they lived in District 4, the Poston's were the poorest in the district. Sapphira walked to her mother and smiled. "Morning Mom." She said cheerfully. Her mother looked at her, her eyes full of sorrow. She clutched Sapphira's hand with both of hers. "The reaping is today..." She whispered. Sappira blinked. "My name has only been in there once, Mom." She said, her voice shaking a little. She had forgot about the reaping.
Emily was already awake. She was doing dishes, so her Dad could have something to eat when he got up. Emily glanced toward her Dad's bed. He was still asleep and snoring. He obvoiusly is not worried about the reaping today. She thought and quickly finished her dishes. Emily knew she had to go to the woods and go hunting. She threw on her hunting boots and grabbed her bow and arrow. Then, she headed out the door and into the forest.
Melissa put on her riding boots quickly. She pushed open the door and breathed in the fresh air. "Ahh... Nothing better then a nice day to start the reapings." She mumbled with a roll of her eyes. She looked around her small town, then walked over to her horse's stable. As she was walking over, she spotted Alex feeding his goats pout of the corner of her eye. She shook her head and went into the stables. Then, she grabbed some grain in a pail and feed it to her horse, Thunder. She stroked his mane as he ate.

"Evan! Get up!"A voice yelled at Evan. Evan flung his eyes open. Jimmy was standing over him like a hawk. "Why do you have to wake me up like that very morning?" Evan asked and pushed his brother's face away from him. Jimmy started to walk away. "If I didn't, you'd never wake up!" Jimmy replied and left the house. Evan forced himself up on one elbow. He looked around his house. Reaping day...
Jacob was snoring loudly when he felt someone shake him awake. He opened his eyes and saw his mother, Opal, staring down at him. "Hurry and get dressed in your reaping out-fit." She said and went to the kitchen. Jacob flew towards his closet and looked through it. He grabbed the reapping out-fit and began to slip it on. He only slept in his under-clothes. Jacob walked lazily over to his kitchen table and sat down with a huff. He laid his head down on the table and closed his eyes.
Hunter was wandering the forest. He kicked a small rock out of his path. I hate going to reapings... He thought to himself and grunted. I never get picked, (not like that's a good thing), but I have to watch the others gt picked and see the horrible looks on their faces! Then go home and wait to see what happens to them! It's horrible! Hunter made a growling noise and flung his knife into the nearest tree. "Stupid reaping!" He said and kicked the tree. He got back his knife and shoved it in his pocket. As he started to look at the tree more, he saw the letters M.A.D.I.E. Hunter blinked. Then, he heard the splashing o water. Hunter grabbed his knife and clutched it tight. He headed towards the noise.
Jason and Killer walked the streets of District 7. He looked down at his mean dog, Killer and smiled. "Boy, if I get picked and go to The Hunger Games arena, you're going to be my secret weapon."He said quietly to the dog. Killer looked up at him and barked. Then, Killer dashed after a girl who was running in the woods. The smart dog slippd under a large gap in the fence and chased after her. Riley! Jason realized and slipped through the gap also. "Killer! Heel!" He yelled madly, chasing after the two.
