Hex Code:# 9 9 0 0 6 6 || District 6

The reaping seemed surreal to her, even now as she sat in the room provided for her by the Capitol. When her name was called it seemed that everything stood still.The only thing that moved was Evelyn and herself. Her sister took her hand and squeezed before standing but Marissa pulled her back down. She then stood and took her place trying to ignore the pleads and crying of her family. She didn't want to leave her sister just as much as she was glad Evelyn wasn't called. When it was time to say goodbye her parents along with a couple of Peacekeepers had to pry the two from each other. The train ride was quiet.

Normally Marissa would be out trying to make friends and being who she was but she couldn't get herself out of her room. She didn't want to leave her room. Before she had left she had promised Evelyn that she would try as many of the tributes probably told their loved ones but they all knew...there was only one winner.

She still hadn't officially met the male tribute from her district thought they rode the same train. She had seen him around at home but not enough to say she knew him. The interview seemed easy for him, much easier than it was for her. She didn't know nor did she care if the interview went well for her, her mentor didn't seem upset about it so she assumed it went well. From there they were sent to the mansion where they resided now, where she hid in her sorrows. Of course she should be out trying to make allies but that could be done another day.

Hex Code: # 0 0 2 6 9 9 || District 8

Her goodbyes were short but meaningful, her parents knew how things worked and weren't going to be stubborn. If they had been no one could predict how things would turn out for their Kat. The train ride was silent, Kat spent most of her time there drawing outfits or dresses and whatnot. She didn't care much for her district's male tribute, he was an enemy as well as the rest of them.

When her parents told her about the Capitol she didn't believe them until she got there. It seemed like their words had come to life. She had never seen anything like it. She couldn't spend a lot of time admiring the scenery and clothes. Her interview went well...she acted like herself which she hoped would help her in the games. It wasn't much time from the interview to now. Now she explored the large yard that was provided to them at the mansion. She wasn't the type to stay inside worrying about her family. She knew they would be ok, for now but that was the same for the other 24 families that were effected by this. Only one family would be lucky to get their child/sister/brother to return to them.

Suddenly a flash of light caught her attention. It came from the Capitol she was sure of it. She stood watching until she noticed it was getting closer. She turned and made a run for it towards the mansion.
