Chapter Text
~Two hours before the Reaping~
-“Eury, mama is looking for you”
Eurydice looks at her sister, her wonderful little sister Marina.
-“Don’t you look like a doll?”
Eurydice says comforting her sister. Marina fixed her dress before fixing her hair
-“Eury, come on-sister mama will yell at you.”
Eurydice gets up feeling the sand for one more time til she steps on the pavement.
-“Eury, do you think, I’m going to have my name drawn?”
Marina asks following her sister back to their family house.
Eurydice looks at her before looking back on the road back home.
-“No, my name’s on there more than yours is. This is your second one, not your 5th one.”
Eurydice says as they walk home in silence.
-“Mama’s going to yell at you so bad Eury.”
Eurydice sighed as she looked up not even having to see who spoke.
-“Marcus, go get papa in a well enough mood so we can head to the reaping together as a family.”
Eurydice says annoyed as Marina heads back inside.
-“You know how he is with this reaping stuff.”
Marcus says as mama’s voice was heard from inside.
-“EURYDICE, GET YOURSELF IN HERE!”
Their mama’s screaming was apparent.
Marcus held his laugh as Eurydice entered their home.
~30 minutes before the Reaping~
Eurydice was waiting for the reaping to start chatting with sending messages through paper to her friends.
Heels were heard approaching the stage, which caused everyone to wave with their handkerchiefs
They had their careers, they were one of the richest districts.
Eurydice watched as the woman from the Capital walked up the stage and the film which she’ve seen almost five times already started playing.
-“May the odds be ever in your favor.”
She said whispering as the video ended.
The woman, who had already made Eurydice forget her name started talking about something about how great the games were before announcing the names.
-“Eurydice Plinth!”
Her loud voice echoed through the crowd before a pathway was formed.
-“What?”
Eurydice said quietly…
