Trinket opened this envelope without interruption.
"Leonel Griffin!" she announced. Still no applause. Russell made a third attempt at climbing onto the stage, and failed again. And to think he would be the Tributes' mentor..!

Talk about tempting fate... Wes thought, coming forward.

"OOOOHHHHHHHH MARIE HAD A LITTLE LAMB—*ding* Good morning!"

"And there we have them!" Trinket announced finally. "Our District 12 Tributes, everyone!"
The Capitol anthem began to play as the screens around the area began to show the complete list of Tributes, with images of them from their respective Reapings. By the looks of things, some Districts had chosen two male Tributes, instead of a male and a female- Districts 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, to be precise.

Wonder why they chose two guys? Jade wondered.

As the footage of each Reaping played, it seemed to become apparent; District 2's Tributes- Careers, given their build- had volunteered simultaneously, and had started fighting to be District 2's Tribute. The fight was broken up when both were chosen. District 3 had chosen a young male Tribute, and someone who was clearly an older brother had more or less demanded to be a Tribute alongside him. In District 5, it seemed that one male Tribute had been drawn from the female pot, following some kind of executive mix-up. The same seemed to be true in District 7. In District 6, both names had been drawn from the same pot; the female pot had not been touched at all.

What was up in District 6? Wes wondered.

No reason was supplied. The ceremony drew to a close with the footage of District 12's reaping- with Russell's drunken stupidity tactfully not edited out- being played, along with the Capitol anthem one more time. The people were then dismissed as the two Tributes were isolated prior to their export to the Capitol.

The first ones to visit Jade would be Mileena, and her mother, Amber.
Mileena embraced her sister, in tears. “W-why? Why'd you d-do it?”
“Shh. I did it so you wouldn't have to go,” Jade replied, comforting her sister.

The guard at the door tapped his wrist as if to say, Hurry it up.

“P-please promise me... you'll win this year's Hunger Games,” Mileena pleaded.
Jade crouched down to her level. “Of course I will.” Looking to Amber, she said, “Mom... if I don't come back, please don't leave Mileena... like when Dad died.”

Amber didn't say anything audible in response, but seemed close to tears- especially at the reference to both Jade's late father, and her mother's reaction to his death.

Jade stood back up. “Stay strong, Mileena. ...And you too, Mom.”

Amber slowly opened her mouth, about to speak, when she and Mileena were ushered from the room; their time was up.

Jade sighed. Why did Mileena have to have been chosen...?

It could have been worse, though she seemed to neglect thinking thusly; after all, she might have been chosen herself, and she'd still be here, but without the hail of a hero for saving her sister.
