When the time came to go to the Reaping, Lilly walked next to Donovan as they went to the center of the town. She looked around and saw the tired faces of all of the mine workers who were forced to have a day off for the Reaping. It was pointless, they fought for freedom once, why couldn't they do it again? Mainly because everyone was even more scared of the current president than they were of Snow. She was relentless and cruel, she put terrible things into effect, like the Hunger Games once more. She sighed to herself as she split off from her brother to go to the side where the girls were, her brother went to the boys side.<br/><br/>After watching the presentation the woman who was dressed in fine clothing from the Capitol reached into the large bowls and pulled out a slip of paper. "Lilly Mellark." She called. The crowd went silent as she was called. Katniss and Peeta looked at each other in shock and horror. Their faces were even more depressed when the woman called out Donovan's name. The siblings were escorted to a room where they would be able to say goodbye to their parents. Before leaving, Katniss slipped the Mockingjay pin into her daughters hand. "It will keep you safe as it did for me when I was in the games." Her mother sniffed and so did her father as they embraced the siblings and said their final goodbyes.<br/><br/>The train ride was a day long. In those days Lilly refused to eat anything that was put in front of her, she was stubborn like her mother. Despised the Capitol with a burning passion. She already knew what she wanted to do. She found her brother in the dining room area of the train, they arrived to the Capitol and he decided to wave to the 'fans' that waited on the train platform. Lilly rolled her eyes and shook her head as she sat on a fluffy chair. "You do know that they sent us here on purpose right? We're the rebel leaders children... They sent us here to spite them for their mistakes in making Panem free. So stop waving to the people who only want to see us suffer." She scolded her brother.
