"Maisie, I'm scared."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0n3Ng9HB1
"Why Tia? You've been doing it longer than I have."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39b0OwHmQg
Tia is my older sister and it's her last year to be entered into the reaping.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHciyDqFvWh
"Well, it's not really about me. It's about Ben."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1TdxUyVgC
"He's not going to be chosen." I said firmly. I was confident that he wouldn't be, I mean, Tia and I took tesserae so support our family. He is only in there once. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvGLTFU924
"But what if he is?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS55xeOef4
"He won't be."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hAY1id0D7
"How can you be so sure?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E05iC5o91
"You've made it all six years, I've made it four. Neither of us have been picked. Why are you worried about him now?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXVEYx4hn
"Well, what if --"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvbQIIuEUZ
"If Ben is chosen, he'll do fine, I mean, he can sword fight."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoGkcqIQW0
"You seriously call those fights that you have with Ben actual knowledge of sword fighting? I mean, it's just a little fun after work."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvie24fYHd9
"Tia. It's actually a good workout. Anyways. I think Ben would do better than you in the games." I say with a laugh.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BA4Zw7hir
"Why do you make the Games such a light subject? No one else is out there laughing about it."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQsJp3mdPr
"I don't know. I guess it keeps the pain out of my mind."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfke1DSLPh
Tia quickly turned on her heels and walked away to the room where she worked. She's only 18, but works full time as a seamstress. I guess I shouldn't be talking either. I finished school quite a bit early and am working full time in a factory. I man a few machines that weave fabric. It's a lot of running around, probably about a five or six miles an hour, considering how big the factory is. I don't mind though. I love running. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aUrjuVgC7
It's kind of surprising that Tia and I are related. I love her and all, but we are so different, she's more precise, detail-oriented, rule following, and thinks she so much more mature. I know I'm not mature, but not naïve. Sure I don't think a lot about thing before I do things, but I'm quick. I like to color outside the lines. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4tPQKivjU
Ben is sweet. He's still in school, and after, sometime he comes and works a bit in the factory, picking up scraps of fabric. Anything to keep our family going.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DJetYpvED
You see, my father left my mother when Ben was born, and my mom is a seamstress, with Tia, which doesn't pay well.
