Thread: RP: Scream My Name: The Hunger Games [Horror_Show & kilaar33]

Katniss had to rush to get out of the woods, to rush from the market, to have enough time to get prepared for the reaping. It was only a few days ago, she had to sleep in the same bed as her little sibling, to calm her as she woke with nightmares, scared to death she would be the one reaped to be in the games. Walking into the door she took off her leather jacket, it was her fathers, and saw Prim was already dressed, clean, in the best kind of dress they could afford in such a poor district, her hair was in two beautiful braids. She paced over bending down to greet her sister happily. Aww, little duck look how gorgeous you are. You better tuck in that tail. She said, tucking in her shirt and bent back up to kiss her forehead. That was until her mother spoke, reminding her that she too had to get cleaned up. Theres a hot tub waiting for you, fresh soap. your favorite kind. I made it, her mother tried to smile, some scrubbing brushes and powder. I also set something out for you. Katniss nodded and left silently to the other side of the small house to strip and get into the old fashioned tub, it was steaming. Her mother must have boiled a couple kettle full of water to fill the tub, as it was still very warm and had flower petals and bubbles in it. She knew her mother must have paid money she shouldnt have to get such nice soaps. She started scrubbing down and using the lavenderrosemary soap. She dunked her head in the water and let her hair get soapy as they couldnt afford shampoo. An hour later, after her mother had braided her hair she was taking prim to the hall of justice, where kids ages twelve through eighteen had to sign in and wait to see if they got chosen for this years hunger games. Prim started hesitating as this was her first year and Katniss walked with her and let them sign her in first, showing Prim, she just had to have her finger pricked and to press her bloody fingerprint in a book. Go ahead duck. Katniss said, stepping aside as Prim was taking longer. She jumped a little when her finger was pricked, but the woman pressed her finger down and dismissed her. Katniss walked with her sister and pointed where she was to go but bent down. Listen, this will all be over soon. Your going to be fine, youre not going to get picked, I promise. We will meet up over there, she nodded, when its over. I love you. She kissed her walking off with the older teenagers. Something about having to leave Prim alone made her stomach sink. It looked like a concentration camp, with as many people were being lined up with guards everywhere. The kids were co-divided by male, female and age. Katniss squinted in the sunlight, watching them prepare on the stage. Then Effie Trinket in her ridiculous costume and make up came to the microphone. Welcome, Welcome! Happy Hunger Gamesand may the odds forever be in your favor! She clapped her hands together seeming overly excited for hosting such an event, she was choosing two tributes to their death. Now before we began, we have a very special film. Brought to you all the way from the capital! She pronounced with a strange accent. Every year they played the stupid same propaganda video, summarizing how the districts have rebelled and caused the war and how so many had died and starved. Then there was a peace offering and how the games kept the peace, kept everyone saved and fed. It was all bullshit to cover up the true nature of the capitol. The video ended, the big screen shut off behind them and Effie was even silently mouthing the words to the video when she walked back up to the microphone. Now the time has come to select one courageous young man and woman for the honor of representing district twelve in the seventy fourth annual hunger games! Effie walked over to the tub to pick a piece of paper. Ladys first. She took a few seconds and walked back unfolded the piece of paper. Primrose Everdeen! It felt like time had slowed, that her words couldnt have meant what she said. Prim looked shocked, petrified and confused. Katniss had lost her breath as her eyes watered, she clenched her fist together and frantically looked for wherever Prim was. Where are you darling? Effie asked as Prim still hadnt moved. Prim slowly moved showing it was she that had been chosen. She bit her lip and slowly walked through the opening to the front. Katniss left her own designated space to see Prim. She breathed out with tears and saw her walking and screamed out. Prim! Two guards immediately grabbed her, forcing her back and she started screaming. Prim looked back, still confused, still terrified. I volunteer! She cried, she pushed the guards off, they looked shocked and she broke through and walked forward. I volunteer as tribute!! She said and rushed toward her sister. Prim ran up hugging her crying. She bent down, holding her. Little duck, you need to get out of here. Go to mom, go home. Please before she could finish Prim started crying, clinging to her for dear life. No! I wont leave you! She yelled. Prim go find Mom, you have to.Im so so sorry. Katniss said as more silent tears came down. Gale had been walking to retrieve Prim. It looks like we have a volunteer! How honorable! What a turn of events! Come up here, darling, come along. Effie said, ignoring Prim screaming being taken away by Gale. Katniss wad lead by the guards up to the stage and Effie held out her hand to help her up the last few and bring her to the microphone. District twelve very first volunteer, whats your name dear? Katniss Everdeen. Well I bet my that was your sister. Effie said holding her shoulders. Yes. Katniss responded, with no emotion, but tears streaming down her face. Well lets give a hand to our very first volunteer! The crowd simply put up a peace signal. Now for the boys! Effie walked over to select a name for the boys. She called Peeta Melark. Katniss had known him, he lived not too far from her cottage. His family owned a bakery. Peeta made his way with the guards to the stage to stand by Katniss. Here we have it! Are two tributes from district twelve! They shook hands slowly and faced the crowd. Happy Hunger games and may the odds forever be in your favor! She was led with Peeta back through the doors of the justice hall to separate rooms, where they would have final goodbyes from their family. She stood in a room, anxious, confused. Not knowing her life was changing this very moment. She would have no idea that someone in a very questionable position would become emotional at her action of saving her sister, would become infatuated with her natural raw beauty, her emotions and ability to survive. Katniss Everdeen didnt know even though she had just volunteered her death sentenced, she had only in fact started to walk her path, a path to someone who would do anything for her behind the veil. He would scream her name, make the people sing her name. He would make sure her life was protected. This man would change her life and she grow to balance her hate and devotion to him. videoyoutube
