[attr="class","GGcontenttemp1"] Today was reaping day and Beau had never pictured himself ever going into the games.... he had never had to sign up for tessarae and there were guys with far more names in the bowl than his own. His own best friend was in there ten more times than he was and that thought sat heavy in his mind as he sat down to breakfast with is ageing parents. Providing all went well today.... it was the day that Beau was planning to propose to Sage. He loved the girl from the bottom of his heart and he wanted to be with her forever and make a life with her. He checked himself over in the mirror before pocketing a small ring box that had belonged to his grandmother and he smiled to himself as he stepped out of the door and headed towards the square.

He had been standing there for several moments, warm thoughts of marriage and happily ever afters flowing through his mind when the escort pulled out the girls name and read it out loud for everyone to hear. He had been so distracted in his thoughts that he didn't realize who had been called till he saw his niece up on the stage and it was then that his mind went into complete over drive and he felt physically sick. The ring suddenly felt as heavy as lead in his pocket and his heart was drumming in his ears as he pondered on what he was going to do. He had practically helped his brother raise Mads over the past few years and he didn't want to see her going into the games at her age.... there was no way she would get out alive.... not without him there to protect her.

He then heard the escort call out a boys name... it was a young boy once again and without even giving it another thought he pushed his way out of the crowd and began to walk up towards the stage. "I am Beau Sawyer and I volunteer as tribute!" he shouted as he began to run up towards the stage.

He was running completely on adrenaline now and he was lost as to what he was going to do next. His eyes drifted across the crowd and he searched frantically for Sage, a deep sadness running through him as he stood there waiting.
