We are took to the Training Centre with Finnick on my side and Laurette on Bay's side.313Please respect copyright.PENANA5H2Mr4Uluc
'' Your on the 4th floor.'' Valora explained. '' It's not bad but District 12's is the best. They have the roof.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAdIqtLsulVG
We go up the elevator to the 4th floor. Once we get there, Valora does a commentary about the floor.313Please respect copyright.PENANArACdxUHUea
'' And here we have the living space. I know, I know!'' She squealed high pitched.313Please respect copyright.PENANAdogJGnDfk4
'' Does she ever stop squealing?'' I ask Finnick.313Please respect copyright.PENANAfcHjOsMj6k
'' No.'' He shook his head and laughed.313Please respect copyright.PENANAjxXWeTnhgt
'' And here is the dining room.'' I look at the modern set of table and chairs with three taps. I nod my head in a sarcastic agreement of how nice it looks. Me and Finnick laugh again.313Please respect copyright.PENANAzFcPseXhFX
'' Your bedrooms are around here.'' Valora said taking us around the corner of the living room. My bedroom is one of the biggest apparently. I'm happy with that. My old room back in 4 is the biggest room.313Please respect copyright.PENANAHaA3bOEvd8
'' Dinner will be ready soon.'' Finnick said after I looked around. '' Meet us in the 'dining room' at around 15 minutes.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAwcmQw3Feh1
'' Okay.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAC5dQlXjRRj
'' Okay.'' He lingered there for a few seconds and walked away again.313Please respect copyright.PENANAaJxO4Lnpbe
I sat on my bed and looked out the window.313Please respect copyright.PENANA4oD1l6LwGy
The Capitol sky is a sunset orange with a few streaks of red in it. It looks beautiful. I can imagine Father coming from the ships with a new fresh load of fish. All types of fish salmon, trout, tuna et cetera. I can imagine Ocean playing with her toy fish. I can see her hugging her father. Mother is smiling at both of them.313Please respect copyright.PENANAIA8UuXphlN
I smiled joyfully and turned around. I see what looks like a remote. I gave a confused look at the electronic. I picked it up and pressed the button.313Please respect copyright.PENANAEoUvb9cHaj
I jumped at the sight of the woods where what used to be the Capitol sky. Startled, I press it again. The jungle. Again. The desert. Any one of these could be the Arena.313Please respect copyright.PENANA1DnxoNdQop
Again. The ocean. I stare at it mesmerized. It has captured the light reflecting of the green waves perfectly. The waves crash against the sandy beach. Rocks and shells are swept up with it leaving a memory. A memory of when Ocean collected her shells and created pictures. Mother kept them and puts them on the wall. Red bedrock is cluttered in the horizon. That's where I stand. Looking out at sea.313Please respect copyright.PENANAseZ0rF6btq
It's District 4.313Please respect copyright.PENANAgotK4pRtVn
I turn the control off and the mesmerizing scene rippled away. It was like it was never there in the first place.313Please respect copyright.PENANA2J4oomktuA
Maybe it wasn't.313Please respect copyright.PENANAUIqQp2sKTn
I notice the time and I hurried to the dining room. Just in time.313Please respect copyright.PENANAs3vjAhIHco
'' Aah here you are! Thought I was going to have to fetch Finnick after you.'' Valora said after she sat down. My stylists are here and the Prep Team. Finnick and Laurette are here too. There's only one person missing. Bay.313Please respect copyright.PENANAveIY0SZgsF
'' Where's Bay?''313Please respect copyright.PENANAk4uEa00dxa
'' In his room I think.'' Laurette snarled. '' Shall I get him for you Rainfall?'' She added.313Please respect copyright.PENANAR0tY6YgBo9
'' No thanks Arausio.'' She squinted her eyes. I raised my eyebrows. I win. I said in my head. Round one me. '' Get him for everyone.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAppCzwj3qva
She scowled and sauntered off.'' You don't like her do you?'' Finnick asked as soon as she was gone. It seemed to be no one was listening.313Please respect copyright.PENANAStw2YEiDI0
'' No she stuck my head down a toilet when I was 8. We were friends when I was 5 but not now.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAAPuIOaWr6r
'' She hates you. She told me. Did you know what she also said to me?''313Please respect copyright.PENANA6qf5FNCVxz
'' What?'' He smirked.313Please respect copyright.PENANAz0JuMtJ0gk
'' She asked me out.'' He laughed. '' I said no obviously.'' I breathed a sigh of relief. Nobody get's hands on Finnick. He only pretends to like them.313Please respect copyright.PENANA6t5uDVhueZ
Wait is he doing that to me?313Please respect copyright.PENANAodyNnjtXdA
'' Bad luck on her.'' I managed in the end. She came back with Bay and sat next to him. As I noticed far away as possible from him. Haha.313Please respect copyright.PENANAz9M7IMNxCj
'' So. Training starts tomorrow.'' Valora said. '' You two need to down there at 10.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAaryekKvf0L
'' I'll take you there.'' Finnick adds. '' And I'll give you one tip. Don't always go for the weapon. Take like camouflage or knot-tying. Most of you will die from natural causes anyway.''313Please respect copyright.PENANA5O32kpQxDK
'' Also,'' Laurette adds. '' Don't show yourself off. Make yourselves look weak. Ha. They'll never see it coming. One of you two could be strong.'' She looked at Bay enthusiastically.313Please respect copyright.PENANAaWt6wLb971
'' After 3 days of Training, you will do your Private Training Session. Show off your skills then. Or you can choose the weak side of you and get a 3 or 4. Most Careers, like you two, should get an 8 or higher.''313Please respect copyright.PENANACEMTXEhMBC
'' But I chose to go solo in the Games.'' Finnick said.313Please respect copyright.PENANA6MK4fbMxUv
'' So did I.'' Laurette added proudly.313Please respect copyright.PENANAJgJZk8fyE1
'' After the Private Training Session, you have your interviews. Now I can help you there.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAdpO5yiu9MC
'' We'll help too. By saying what to say to Caesar and what to do to get the audience to like you.'' Finnick smiled a toothy grin.313Please respect copyright.PENANAfydVC2hQib
'' Sponsors will be there.'' Added Carter. '' I will be also making your clothes and Casey will be aiding me.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAEBJEPwUmPf
'' For likability.'' Casey added. The Prep team nodded.313Please respect copyright.PENANAnNLxEZYV18
'' Then there is the Games.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAuAwawsdUPw
'' We'll talk about that next time. Let's just enjoy our dinner.'' Finnick proposed. That's when I notice a red uniform standing by the door. It's a girl. She is holding a jug of water. She comes over to us and pours us each a glass of water. That's when I notice she is an Avox.She is a Capitol Traitor and has his/her tongue chopped off for good so he/her can't talk. I am actually sorry for them.313Please respect copyright.PENANAoepz4gUgBC
We eat our mushroom soup and strawberry shortcake in peace with only talks of joy and laughter.313Please respect copyright.PENANAPr8Z95AaTa
'' I think we should have some chocolate covered strawberries.'' Valora announced. We all nod in agreement and help ourselves. Melt in the mouth these are.313Please respect copyright.PENANAvVv69qXzpu
After we finished eating, Finnick came up to me.313Please respect copyright.PENANAeq8S4BEXAC
'' Can we talk privately?'' He asks.313Please respect copyright.PENANAAL0Js8VBJD
'' Sure.'' I followed him until we came up to his bedroom.313Please respect copyright.PENANACRN5oDHXoc
'' It's okay. You can come in.'' He ushered me forward. I gave in.313Please respect copyright.PENANAJn7zAoM8Yq
I reluctantly came inside. You could see he has decorated it a bit. A flare of District 4. Sea, sun, fish,313Please respect copyright.PENANA1IVGKAnc19
trident and... a photograph. An old lady smiling at me. I grinned back.313Please respect copyright.PENANAwCBqKDzw3L
'' Who's this?''313Please respect copyright.PENANA6K24qKu59r
'' Umm...'' He looked a little sad.313Please respect copyright.PENANAhhDlvSMpSe
'' You don't have to tell me. It just jumped out sor-''313Please respect copyright.PENANAHcKjnKHBev
'' No it's fine. She is my Mentor from the Games I won. Mags.'' He looked down at his feet.313Please respect copyright.PENANA6thQlRUchU
'' Oh,'' He must really care about her if he has a photograph. '' So what did you want to talk to me about?'' I am breaking the subject as I possibly can.313Please respect copyright.PENANAD6hWRCVYPz
'' I want to do extra Training with you.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAc186Cwjj6y
'' Why do you think I am weak?'' I am repulsed.313Please respect copyright.PENANAjfkEcGURGH
'' No. No, no, no. I think- change that- I know that you can win the Games.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAYraARgdb6c
'' How? I have no qualities of winning. Plus I can't kill people.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAaosrwqD8kq
'' You don't need to. But if you want to, I can help you there.'' He held his hand out. I declined.313Please respect copyright.PENANAYLBjO8RRyv
'' Have you told Valora?''313Please respect copyright.PENANAsMaRxKnqNm
'' If I told you the truth, will you still accept?'' He gritted his teeth.313Please respect copyright.PENANAhyEHfkDo98
'' Tell me.'' I demanded.313Please respect copyright.PENANA06eyWHZapq
'' Alright. No I think this should be secret.''313Please respect copyright.PENANAe3oeZEDFKk
'' I'm agreeing.'' I take his outstretched hand and shake it.313Please respect copyright.PENANARggBXctJ8D
'' Great!'' I am going to enjoy the Training even more. I smile.313Please respect copyright.PENANAseJEDS2xct
I turn to leave. I look back at him. He's smiling. I smile back.And suddenly black. Someone's calling my name but I am fading away...313Please respect copyright.PENANA8bJG3e1dii
