Hey guys! This is wolfwithemeraldeyes and I present to you the first chapter of my first ever Fanfiction story! I am really excited and hope you like it! You already probably know but I will say it anyways, I do not own the Hunger Games story, or anything related to it. I hope you have as much of a blast reading it as I had to write it! See ya!

The day Prim was dreading since the day she got chosen as a tribute for the district twelve had finally arrived. Tomorrow was the day of the games and she was even more scared than when she found out she might never come home again and see her family. Prim didn't find the games fair. She might lose her life just so President Snow could teach a lesson to the districts about rebellion and entertain the citizens of the Capitol. The entire districts were forced to watch the games and trust me, if you watched them since you were a child, you would know how Prim felt and anticipated the worst. Prim shook off the idea of the games and calmed herself down.

She went to bed in the room she had been assigned on the 12th floor in the training center and just as she laid her head on the pillow, a shy knock on her door was heard. Prim rose up immediately and said:

"Come in"

It was Peeta. It felt a little bit weird that he would come see her at night because she barely knew him. However, she didn't mind because he probably was the one person that understood the most how she felt since he too had been chosen to be a tribute as well.

"Were you sleeping?" he asked.

"I was about too" said Prim shyly.

"Oh I'm sorry to disturb you" answered Peeta with a timid smile.

"It's fine" she answered. "So how can I help you?"

"I was wondering if you wanted one of my cookies. They might be the last ones I ever bake so better enjoy them now" said Peeta in a weak smile.

"Oh Peeta" answered Prim. "You can't think that way! You need to hope and believe in yourself. You see, right now I would be a mess if it wasn't for my sister. She is the one that is keeping me strong and helping me work through this tough situation. If I live or die, I know that she will realize I gave my all to win and return to her and my mother" said Prim.

Peeta was amazed how tough this little twelve year old girl was. He wanted to fight and help her make it back home.

"It was really nice of Katniss to volunteer for you" said Peeta.

"It sure was" said Prim with a sigh. She would never forget a few days ago at the reaping how nice her sister was to try to take her place so she wouldn't die.

It was the day of the reaping in all of the districts from district one to twelve. All the citizens between the ages of 12 to 18 are eligible to go at the Hunger Games. The whole district twelve was gathered at the town square where the reaping was going to take place. Primrose remembered how terrified she was because it was her first reaping and she didn't want to go to the games. She had nightmares about them and death always scared her. She remembered what her sister told her before they left the house that morning.

"Your name is only in the bowl once Prim, you won't be picked. I promise, you will be safe."

She had kissed her on the cheek and they hugged one last time.

There were two areas separated by ropes to divide the girls and the boys. Suddenly, President Snow stands up and the crowd falls silent. He says what he always does before the reaping:

"Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor"

He finally sits down.The crowd now turns its attention towards Effie, knowing she would be the one picking the names of one boy and one girl as tributes. We could only hear the clicking ofEffie's high heels on the stage because the town square was so silent. No one wanted to be picked even though it apparently was a huge honor to represent your district. Everyone was scared to know that they might be the next one to die.Effie walkedtowards a bowl full of papers all folded in two.

"Ladies first" announced Effie

She started to mix around the names and finally got her hand out of the bowl with the unlucky person's name that would be pronounced as a tribute. Effie unfolded the paper and read:

"Primrose Everdeen. Come here darling right on the stage"

Prim was making her way out of the crowd surrounding her and was going towards the stage. Prim was shaking and terrified. She started to walk towards the stage. Two peacekeepers took her arms so she wouldn't dare run away.

Katniss was shocked. She had promised her sister safety and instead, the exact opposite was happening. Prim waschosen to play the games. How could a twelve year old girl ever win against all the older tributes? Prim would die on her first day and she would lose her sister forever. Katniss pushes the crowd around her and screams:

"I volunteer as a tribute for district twelve".

Katniss runs towards Prim. Prim finds a way to lose the peacekeepers and jumps in her sister's arms. She wishes she would never need to let go of Prim but the peacekeepers are coming back and she knows they will be separated any minute.

"We are deeply sorry miss but there are no volunteers after the name is drawn. Primrose Everdeen is going to the games and you can't do anything about it." said the peacekeeper.

Katniss was screaming: "No No!". Her mother ran to her side and tried her best to console her oldest daughter.

Primrose finally made it to the stage and was standing there awkwardly not looking in Katniss's direction so she wouldn't start crying herself. She wanted to show her sister she was strong and hopefully make her proud.

Prim returned back to reality missing even more Katniss. She started to think about something else so the pain and the tears wouldn't come back to haunt her.

"Is the offer for a cookie still available?" asked Prim.

"Of course" replied Peeta with a laugh.

They ate the cookies in silence.

"Good night now" said Peeta. "Sweet dreams"

"Bye" replied Prim.

Peeta closed the door quietly and Prim assumed he went back to bed. She turned around and let her head fall on the pillow. Her eyes were heavy and she fell fast asleep. During the night, she always thought about the promise she made to her sister the last time she saw her. She promised to stay strong and fight as hard as she could and try to win for her. Prim was determined to keep her promise no matter what. She would not give up without a fight.
