chapter two

despair. that's all I felt and could feel. my heart raced as I started shaking intensely. this is a joke right? I probably misheard her. I must have. I can't go into the arena. I'm 16, I have so much ahead of me.

" sydney oakhurst " Havana repeated

no, that was definitely me. my muscles tighten up as my heart beats started to get more and more intense.

I felt dizzy, I felt sick. I felt like I could just pa-

sydney fell to the ground with a loud thud, all the sixteen year old girls ushered around her and started to scream for help. two peacekeepers raced over to her body and picked her up. she was alive, just unconscious.

" did she faint? " one girl asked
" well that's a first " another said

the peacekeepers took her inside of the justice building. her relatives followed behind, Havana reaped the male tribute, a 14 year old named Kaleb Osisrus, and was quickly ushered inside.

after about 3 minutes of being inside of the justice building, Sydney woke up.

my eyes shifted open. above me was havana and some boy, who I assume was the male tribute
" did I die? " I asked . I knew I had passed out but I don't know for how long

" no sweetie, you got reaped and passed out. " havana replied

" can I see my mom now? " I asked

" soon, I promise. " havana said. she got up from the couch bed and walked over to a black door, entered it, and left me all alone. and then the boy soon followed. I guess this is the room I'll meet my family in

minutes passed inside of the justice building before my mom and Lucas ran into the waiting room where I was. I jumped up and hugged both of them. I could tell they had been sobbing horribly. Lucas could barely speak. All I could hear out of him was a murmur. he got into my lap and held my arm

my mom got closer to me and whispered " I'm so proud of you my baby. " she looked at me and smiled

" thank you mom. " I said with tears falling down my face. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I really couldn't. Lucas and my mom were everything to me. I didn't have any friends at school or anything like that- I had peers in my training academy and that was it.

" you know how to work almost any weapon, get a trident or throwing knifes if you can. possibly even a bow, you're amazing at that too. " she said. mom says I'm amazing at everything, I guess she's only saying that because she's my mom 

" sydney? " said Lucas while looked up to me from my lap

" what baby? " I said

" come back for me, please. promise me " he said.

" I promise. " I replied shakily

" pinkie promise? " he said. Lucas held up his tiny pinkie. I entwined my pinkie with his and I lost it. I started sobbing as he tighten his pinkie with mine

" pinkie promise. " I said

" here, have this. " Lucas said. he reached up his arm and handed me a beautiful silver necklace, with a gold charm on the end- in the shape of a shark fin

I gasped. " oh baby, I can't have this. it's too special. "

" you must! " Lucas said. he handed out the necklace and as it fell into my hand, a loud alarm started.

Lucas and my mom were almost immediately taken out of the room. Lucas looked at me and screamed " i love you! "

I waited in that stupid room for ages, until my time was up. Only they had came to say goodbye, nobody else. i don't really have a lot of friends, it's just them. I fondled with my necklace, thinking about how Lucas loved this necklace when he was a baby. I believe it was the one he wore for his first birthday.

i love him so much. I really do.

Suddenly, a loud buzzer went off. it was o my them that said goodbye to me, I guess everyone else couldn't stand me enough to say goodbye. which makes sense, I'm kinda loud and people like me in school, but I don't have friends

I was FINALLY escorted out of the justice building into a train, where my cabin awaited me. and to be honest, the reaping made this first glance of the train seem worth it. it was like being in another planet
