I give Haimon a squeeze and say, "See you on the train." And I give him a quick kiss before the peacekeepers tell me to hurry up and lead me into a small room behind a heavy door. I sigh as it shuts on me and wonder if anybody will come see me. I doubt it. I wish I could be with Haimon right now. There are so many things I want to talk to him about right now, and I also want to talk to my mentors. I will not be going down without a fight.
There's some noise outside my room and a click inside the door system alerts me that somebody is coming to visit me. Well I suppose I do have some friends. Of course I do. What was I thinking. I wonder who it might be though and a smile appears on my face even in these circumstances at the sight of them peeking into the room. I know most people are probably falling apart in this room, but I suppose those years of having a calm demeanor pay off. Don't want to look weak in front of my competitors, plus I need to stay strong for my friends.

 Elixa Brianne White DISTRICT 7 I couldn't stop the steady stream of tears running down my face as I watch two of my close friends up on that stage, ready to be eaten alive by the hunger games. I was glued to the dirt floor beneath me and could only stare in horror, for a large part of my life was being taken from me in no less than five minutes. How could this be happening to them? They were so in love with one another that I couldn't even imagine how they would go on if the other were to die in the games. I felt as though I should say something or even volunteer, but I was no fighter. It'd be a waste, and I'd only be dead weight. My friends were led off the stage and into the justice building. After they were hidden behind closed doors, I immediately searched for Dwight, desperately needing his support. Once I spotted him, I quickly ran in that direction, and barreled myself into him, crying my heart out into his shoulder.
"It's not fair, Dwight. Why'd they have to be picked?" I cried, trying my best to calm down when Dwight tried to comfort me. I was no way near ready to feel better about this, but I knew I couldn't be a sniveling mess when I went in to see my friends either. Dwight eventually calms me down until I'm only sniffling, and we both enter the justice (where's the justice in this?) building, and we're led into the room that Hailey is in. I immediately rush over to her and give her a the biggest hug I can muster. "Oh, I'm so sorry Mikky! I cry, pulling away from my friend to get a view of the brave facade that she's keeping plastered on her face. I sniffle and reach towards the clasp at the back of my neck and pull my lucky necklace from myself and place it in her hands. It was my mother's necklace, and the only real thing I have from either of my parents, and she knew it. I saw the hesitation on her face, for she knew how much this meant to me, but I shook my hand and folded her fingers over it. "No, I want you to have it. It's given me a lot of luck, and you'll need all you can get in the arena." I said to her, giving her one last hug and moving aside so that Dwight could speak with her.

 ✘ District 12 ✘
Dwight Blaine Doom My two best friends getting reaped is very hard to grasp. How in the world could such a thing happen? The whole thing must have been rigged, there's no way both of them could have been chosen by fate. Thousands of slips and they were both chosen. . .
Elixa finds me and begins to grow very sorrow, her tears on my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her and try to comfort her with words. "It'll be okay, Elixa. Our District won two times in a row, Mikky and Haimon are going to be well guided." On top of that, they both are very handy with an ax. I've seen it. If it comes down to fighting, I know they'll be alright. I drop my arms and follow her towards the justice building.
We visit Mikky first and Elixa immediately bursts into tears. I've learned to deal with quite a bit of sorrow in my past, but I can't help but tear a bit as well. "Mikky, you'll try hard, won't you?" I'm asking her this because I know how much she and Haimon have a short amount of fear for death. It can be a good thing in the arena, but also fatal. "I'm sorry this happened to you. Just know that we'll be cheering you on from here. Everyone." I give her a tight hug then let my arms fall. When I'm next to Elixa, peacekeepers enter the room and let us know our time is up. We'll need to visit Haimon now...

Immediately Elixa is in the room embracing me. I return the hug with strong calm arms, but I also fill the hug with love and tenderness. I peek over her shoulder to see Dwight enter the room as well. I don't know what to say so I allow the hug to speak for me. Before I can stop her, Elixa is removing her necklace and giving it to me. I know just how special this is to her and I am about to give it back to her when she puts down my unspoken dissent. I grip the necklace and say, "Thank you Elixa. I hope it works." I could use some extra luck after all. I embrace her again before she lets Dwight say goodbye to me.
He gets right to it. I nod of course and say, "One hundred and fifty percent." It is really hard to think of anything to say. I know they'll be cheering me on of course. "I'll be back don't you worry!" I say confidently with a grin on my face. Before they can leave though I rush out a few last words. "If you need to use our house for anything go right ahead, please." I rush the words as the peacekeepers usher them out of the room. The door snaps shut and they are probably off to see Haimon now.
I turn back towards the little seat in the room and sit down not expecting anymore visitors. I go through thoughts in my head waiting for somebody to collect me and bring me to the train station. I feel like I've been separated from Haimon for ages. It has probably only been ten minutes tops though. I sigh wishing he were here with me again.

Darren James Everett (District Seven) Darren entered the building being guilded towards Hailey's room she was in. The door open and he gave a a determined look. and entered and walked towards her and waited for the door to be shut.. "Hailey, you probably don't know me but I want you to know if theres anything I can do for your family I will do. Anything, assistance with food, Looking after sibling/house, even medicine. I will see throught that your family make it through, the only thing you gotta promise me is that will try your hardest together both you and Haimon back to the district. Don't be a hero, keep your heads down and stick together. Alright?" He asked looking into her eyes conveying sympathy and reassurance.

Kenneth Steven Woodfield (District Seven)  Kenneth entered the peacekeeper building, with a brisk walk and slightly angry face. "I'd like to speak with my brother." He said quickly. The peacekeepers looked at him like he had four eyes.
"Randall Woodfield? The District escort and last year male victory?" He sighed loudly as they let him pass. He ascended stair quickly and entered the room when where younger brother was sitting.
"You little brat! Leaving me again with little notice?!" He yelled at Randall, smirking a bit that he scared him, but the knowing his brother was going back into the fray that almost consumed him made Kenneth want to strap him down and not allow him to leave. He stood in the entrance of the door, tapping his foot on the floor, arms crossed looking displease at his little brother. Mood:Sad Location:Randall quarters in the Peacekeeper place. Inventory: Messager bag, Teaching instruments Thoughts: Sometimes I really, really want to hit that kid.
Outfit: Casual Wear.

I'm sprawled out on the small bench in a somewhat comfortable position as I go through my thoughts when the door clicks open. My eyebrows furrow wondering who this could be when a vaguely familiar face enters. Darren. He gets right to the point when he enters the room. When he mentions family I know this is going to be awkward. Mikky stayed calm though as usual and let a bit of a smile onto her face. "I really appreciate the thought Darren. It's so kind of you, but I'm afraid I don't have any family left for you to keep safe." I'm not really keen on sharing my story though. He could probably ask one of my friends or other people in the district. "Nor does Haimon." I add.
I sit up though and look into his eyes. "I do promise you though that I will not go down without a fight. I plan on coming home hand in hand with Haimon." I say determined with no sadness slipping through. I have not even allowed myself to consider what would happen if Haimon or myself were to die and the other survive. That won't happen. It can't happen.

I'm glad I have Coralie to support me in this. I've grown so close to her. Without her I'm not sure how I would stay sane after the games. I try to calm down knowing I just cause the both of us anxiety when I get worked up and I follow into the justice building. We're hardly inside as Mikky and Haimon are escorted away almost forcibly detaching them from each other when Demetrius asks if we want a drink. I'm not in the mood for anything at the moment and just shake my head as I walk in step. Inside the room I sit down not looking forward to the weeks to come.
That's when the familiar voice sounds. I let out a small sigh and turn. I love my family to tears, but things just haven't been the same since the games. "Hey Kenny." I say in greeting still seated. My expression is a bit contorted. "It's not really short notice Kenny. We've known I'd be going back since the moment I left." He knows this of course and is probably just toying with me, but I'm not really in the mood right now. My thoughts keep turning back to Mikky and Haimon and how awful the situation is and how it will be placed on both Coralie and myself if they don't come home.

Darren James Everett (District Seven) Darren felt like the hugest idiot ever.. [/color He wanted to say something but opted to her Hailey a strong hug. After the embrace he heard footsteps getting close to the door. He turn and nodded at the girl, giving her a thumbs up.
"We're all waiting for you to come back to us, Good luck out their Hailey." He said as the door opened and the peacekeeper roughly pulled him from the room. Once he was in the lobby he straightened his clothes and left the building towards his house. He sighed as he got out of the town square and continued down the path to his house.

Kenneth Steven Woodfield (District Seven) Kenneth frown seeing his brother so disturbed by the reapings. It pained him to see the light no longer in the kids eyes. He blamed President Orion mainly for essential killing his brother on the inside, but it'd never go anywhere.
He entered the room and sat cross from Randall, a small smile play across his lips. "I remember the last reapings. They had to detain me till you left. I had almost gotten arrest for beating the peacekeepers up to get to you." He chuckled at this and continued, "I remember seeing your frightened face and that was when I really went ballistic. I remember watch the games every night so that I could at least rest semi-peacefully, knowing that you were still alive."
Kenneth felt the first of many tears that would occur today and the days following. "Do me a favour Randall?" He request softly not looking at his brother. Mood:Sad, restless, and resentfull Location:Randall quarters in the Peacekeeper place. Inventory: Messager bag, Teaching instruments Thoughts: God, I just want to see him as he was, long ago.

▄▀▄DISTRICT SEVEN▄▀▄ FAILURE IS NOT THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD.
THE VERY WORST IS NOT TO TRY. ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ I had overheard some talk of what happened after I had been reaped, but it wasn't like I knew the fully story. I wasn't about to ask and nobody seemed to mention it, so hearing it from my brother now was a surprise. I had always wondered why my brother had not come to say goodbye to me and i had thought I would never see him again. I don't even know what to say. My people skills lacking even with my own family.
An emptiness and sadness fills behind my eyes at the tale though. Why was my brother telling me this now? The tears leak out of his eyes, but I refuse to let myself cry as well. There is too much at stake for me to look weak upon my return to the capitol. Mikky and Haimon are depending on us. Plus that one line I said at the interview last year keeps haunting me. I'm going to have to look cheerful at returning to the capitol.
What could Kenny possibly want me to do? I'm not in any real danger in the capitol. It's not like I'm going back to the arena. I suppose the capitol can be dangerous though. So many foreign people and customs. Most of them disgust me. "What is that?" I ask knowing better than to promise something before I know what it is. There are just some things that you cannot promise a person no matter what it is.

Kenneth Steven Woodfield (District Seven) Kenneth looked up at his brother and smiled a bit, and calm spoke, "Try finding what you left behind of yourself. That spark of life that's left you in the arena." He spilled a few more tears and continued, "Don't promise me too, but honestly try."
He stood up and sat beside Randall, gripping his shoulder in a manly fashion. He willed the tears away and wiped his eyes. Sighing he said, "I must go and get some groceries. Be careful little one." He finished placing a kiss on his brother head, messing his hair up a bit. Then walked reluctantly to the door waving at the kid. Once again the capital stolen the shell of his brother to mess him up a bit more. Mood: Upset but feeling slightly better. Location:Randall quarters in the Peacekeeper place; heading to the market place.Inventory: Messager bag, Teaching instruments Thoughts: Missing him already, damn the capital.

I suppose that was a bit awkward, but it didn't really bother me. Nobody really talks about what happened to my family and Haimon's. Plus I don't remember Darren being all that social in the past. He may just never have heard and he would have been a kid when it all happened, so I don't really make much of it. I return his hug easily and smile at him when he gives me a thumbs up. I don't manage to say anything as he heads out though and the door closes.
I know I can't afford to think all in a positive light. I have to consider other angles. We aren't the best candidates most likely, but we do stand a fair chance. It's good to know we have people standing with us and cheering us on. After that there are no more visitors and I find myself face to face with peacekeepers when the door next open. They instruct me that it is time to go to the train and I go with them willing.

I have to clench my jaw and Kenny's request to hold myself together a bit. I don't know if that is even possible, but he's my brother and I do hate how distant we have become so I nod and say, "I'll try Kenny." He gets up to leave with the assurance that I will at least try and he knows I will. "See you in a few weeks Kenny." I say knowing that that is true and I raise my hand in acknowledgement as he leaves. I check the clock then seeing I still have a few minutes before we are scheduled to be at the train station.
The time comes and I make my way back downstairs where I'm met be a few peacekeepers that had been instructed to bring me there. I'm not sure why it is necessary for peacekeepers to be around me. I mean what am I going to do go hide in some hole and leave the tributes to fend for themselves? Yeah right, when I surfaced it wouldn't be a good situation I faced. I shrug it off though and allow the peacekeeper to lead the way.
