The sky was grey as the walls from the district, every step Rose did made the weather even colder. It was finally the day. Like every year, the dogs within the district would gather around the main stage to watch the Reaping Day, where two dogs would be choosen to participate in the horrible Hunger Games.

Walking alongside her adoptive family, the female Nudari kept her eyes on the ground. She hated that day, it was the day of fear, the day of death, whenever the day came near she would start getting nightmares in which someone on her family got choosen and sent to the Arena. Year after year she would stay still waiting for the call that never came, at least for now...
When they arrived at the stage there were already a lot of dogs gathered, talking to each other, feeling nervous, some were crying while other just looked with an empty glance to the door, waiting for the Reaper to come.
- "Don't be afraid, Rose, it will all be ok, no one of our family has ever go to the Arena!" - Said a low voice.
Rose raised her head and looked straight, a small brindle puppy, her adoptive sister, was the one saying does words. She could see that her little sister was, also, nervous and afraid, but her little body had a lot of courage. The Nudari smiled at her.
- "You are right, dear, no problem". 

A few minutes later, the Reaper appeared. She was a beautiful but strange looking Golden, with a pretty shiny fancy dress, quite hard to see anywhere else which made her stand out like a flame on a dark day. Bijoux, her name was, seemed happy to be there, she smiled widely and begin talking about the Hunger Games, the Tributes and how it all worked, as they always do in the Reaping Day. 
The first Tribute didn't take long to appear.
Her name was Rogue, a strong-looking German Shepherd Dog with a dark brownish colour. She went straight to the scenario without hesitation, and stood proudly alongside the Golden Reaper. Rose couldn't really see if the female was afraid or happy to be choosen, it was hard to see someone going into the stage as calm as her did.
It was time for the second Tribute to come.

The world stopped for a few minutes for Rose. The name of the second Tribute was one of the ones she feared for. It wasn't her name. But it was a closer one.
She moved her head to the right to see her sister shaking hardly with her curly tail between her legs, then looked at the right to see the rest of her family, all with her eyes opened and silent as rocks. Rose didn't even took a second to think about what happened, she needed to do something, she couldn't let one of her family members to go to the Arena, and even less if it was the smallest member.
She ran into the main corridor and barked loudly;
- "Take me!! I'm taking her possition as Tribute!"
Everyone looked at her direction, shocked, years passed since the last time someone had throw itself into the Hunger Games.
- "Ooooh yay! It's been long since something like this happened" - Bijoux was overjoyed and looked excited as she ordered Rose to go up.
The Nudari lowered her head and looked over to her family, smiling at her sister and whispering "don't worry dear, it will all be ok". She could see tears on her sister's eyes, but it was for the best, she wouldn't even had a chance at the Arena.
Rose went up stairs until she reached the scenario, she sat next to Bijoux and looked into the public, searching again for her family. It might be the last time she saw them, so she wanted to have them staying in her mind forever.




I just saw that she has both right paws up lol, don't mind it, just think it's that she's nervous about going up there (?)
