Walking through district 12 I can feel it in the air, the fear, the dread of who family will be forced to pick from their kids, my mother is gone. My father? I have no clue, I was raise by his brother will mellark, he never did tell me what happened to mother or father. Right before I'm about to go inside peacekeeper with a paper stops me. "You're willow mellark correct?" I nod "yes" he looks at me. He got that capitol look even though I never been to the capitol. "You been chosen for the quarter quell" I gulp with fear. My eyes close, light tears begin to fall.
Will opens the door for me as I step in, "dad why did you pick me?! Why?" He looks at me. "Honey I- the capitol did, you know"
More tears are falling from my face. He hugs me tightly. Will whispers to me. "I love you honey I'm so sorry I never wanted you to be reaped or go into the games" I want to believe his words but I don't. I'm not an only child I have finn and Rue but he choose me. I can't fight I never picked up a weapon in my life. I'm so dead. Tears continue to fall from my face.
Unlike other years to add more salt to the wound they won't even let us say goodbye to our loves one.
