Elise Veronique | District Two {WIP}

My life is a game, and the end is either game over or victory. If I desire victory at the time of my demise, I must enjoy myself first. Being good to others and giving up the things you have is not always the way to win. Sure, I help the less fortunate on occasion, but I need to be sure that I'm well off, too. If I were not to enjoy myself, what would be the point of going on?

All games end in someone losing, and I won't let the loser of my life be me. When I was younger, and of reaping age, I promised myself I'd train, just in case I got reaped for the Games. I never was selected, however, and managed to live past the maximum reaping age. Now that I'm nineteen, I can live my life in peace and safety. At least, I can for the most part. Everyone still risks death, even if it's not from the Games.

I sometimes wish my siblings were old enough not to be reaped, though. Having four younger brothers and a younger sister can make things a bit difficult when it comes to trying to protect them. They're almost all of reaping age, with only my sister being too young. All I want to be able to do is shield them, because I don't want them to hit game over either. I just wish I could ensure their safety at all times throughout their lives.
