I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWC73ELsuj
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0e4zw0rzv
His shirt was off and underneath you could see his muscular chest, well built and yet attractive. His arms are so muscular also attractive. His neck muscles turned to me, full body facing me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRanoLxZdmc
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3mArHaDrb
'' Why am I here?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bz2bWaDUa
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bCDly01zG
'' Sleep well?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY5kJQesqz
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD4RZM1FKD
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvsalEZucS
'' So Training Day.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH6IUy2SId
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgoE7zQEzv
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxadOjDlHBr
'' I want to promise you two things.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1lj6d0OMx
'' What things?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97s0sS1pF6
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlMDhze3si
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWzJecHTKQ
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5545nf7sn
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfVyNu1GZr
'' He isn't my boyfriend. Mind your tongue. You could become an avox. I'm sure Finnick would want you with a tongue wouldn't he? Actually he wouldn't because he is mine.'' She pursed her lips and laughed.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7kZSkP3Ph
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tcTe9bjBf
2-1. I think. We both won that.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B5eOJCYJk
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO3IcDTO6k
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRveKWCZp0
Warm water is rippling on my back. What is Laurette going to do? What if she takes Finnick away from me because she knows I won't win the Games? Don't think like that Rain. You will win. You will win. You will win. Finnick is making sure of it. He swore on his life.I get out of the shower and wear the Capitol Training Uniform. This year, it is thin, black uniform with a red number. Your District. As mine is 4, I have a red number 4 on my back.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBindxUzOG
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zR3i6sinA
I don it on and walk to the Dining Room. Everyone is there. Apart from Laurette. I hope she is not doing something about me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTcUyvjURs
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCezMSkYo9
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrowW3VFyl
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7UFcCWBZ3
'' I guess so.'' Valora sighed. '' Doesn't matter. You may as well go down now. Your all in your Uniform so why not go down?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjPRqYtlvD
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV5HKlpjE6
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSdxF1jPG8
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNijGeq2s1V
'' Plan A: I'll tell Valora that I am going to my room. And you in your room. But really we are going to Training Centre.'' He whispered to me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgh9ksxVlM
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCSJK8foPK
'' I'll keep her occupied.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUrXtbjko7
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZswvISHjxF
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSBc81kKWa
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaJTbjfM0k
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLMjT6LQhc
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3kGiY9flq
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22KeK5POnc
I nudge Finnick and he looked at Laurette and burst out laughing. To stop him from laughing at them, I say (because they can probably hear him), '' Follow my lead.'' I coughed. He nodded. '' I know right it was so funny I spilt milk all over my sister Ocean.'' That is true though. Mom made a joke and we killed ourselves laughing and I spilt milk on Ocean.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Tzi7rD5j
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWJTTI4XjG
'' It was.'' I shrugged.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DRO7NgXEQ
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDzgNK6eGv
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6qhjAQ3sX
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQw4i9kghO
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Yasm3HHZ
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon357gFYv3
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0UI92Ro2p
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3zlixb5CA
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTJUslL9xc
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDgHtUGh3f
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ2qCx1XQU
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQhCVfRkcp
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTKo3UtNRC
'' So when you get to the Gym, don't go to the weapons. Stay by the Knot Tying and camouflage.'' Finnick lowered his voice to me. '' We'll be doing them tonight.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkQL9fErLE
I smiled and stared at the opening door.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kmQvjANuN
Outside, about six Tributes are already there at the Weapons section. One is at the knot tying section. Instead of going to the crowded places I go to the Camouflage section. An Expert is there standing by it.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN9x19eFFZ
He welcomes me as I settle down. He starts to explain what paints I should use and where. Red to show that I am dead. Grey for rock. Green for grass. Yellow/orange for desert, et cetera.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKib3qVSoL
I then travel to the Edible Plants and Animals section. The Expert there explains that mostly all green plants are edible and don't touch the flowers. Sap is from trees. Animals are rare but if I set snares, I can catch some rabbits, birds whatever.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5C8HARa8a
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EHqLBMtqw
'' Hi Bay.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tnexdjevY
'' Hello.'' The Expert is helping him with a ground Snare. I start on the easiest Snare and work my way up to the top. It turns out that I can set the snares really easy. I am really good.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82fe9H2UO7
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlacRYYAbC
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSskhgcIpUV
I feel so sorry for her. She didn't get any volunteers. She goes over to the Weapons section. She picks up an axe and flung it at the target. I back away even though I am not close to her at all.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LeS87eub
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlWDEpC07q
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0DuOmC3YO
'' Yeah bro.'' And I show him how to do all the snares. It is actually quite easy. He manages to get it in the end.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucTAyOeK1E
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOxNbv0J9S
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgTAoL6Rbz
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhdReNNvXn
'' Get to know them first.'' He walked away and I interrupted it. '' Bay, be careful.'' He nodded and made his way to the District 3 people.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2npjvOTWz
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadYj3qA4YQ
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1jbsk28mj
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjrJAUBBlp
'' Good.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VSVLItocj
He raised his eyebrows.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqxuq5Zipu
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbFQLwhsoi
As we make our way to our floor, I start to wonder. How can I outlast all of these Tributes? I mean some are on their tough game. Especially the District 7 girl.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQP0tfRAP5
As soon as we are here, Dinner is ready for us, lamb stew and dried plums. This by far is my favourite dish: it is the most mouth watering.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXJj4hh422
'' How was your first day of Training?'' Valora asks as she stopped the Avox trying to pour water in her cup. '' Coffee for me please.'' The Avox ran off.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPenWVxInqR
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mKjEUph6
'' Good and you Bay?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtHf0UNanC
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eZrun2Xck
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XBkANJFZx
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx6gd9qOjq
'' Well I think it's amazing that good with snares. You can catch food.'' Finnick stared with his crystal sea-green eyes. I incline my head.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUa9y6eH2g
'' Still not a natural.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERyCs9Z84d
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15xGqsmta6
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGb0uGATZA
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTp7DjOFv3
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL2QRJQMgt
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFUNUdy2W2
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2EXgpHpiD
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ITXVsvO9G
'' Rain take it up to her.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOxdNIvGpT
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nxba67O8t
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2A99ynFJX
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpArM7GBKi8
'' What's wrong?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6b7jJfN5W
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW7aHpZdnl
'' Just asking. Christ.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mC3glbf9H
'' Want to know?'' She ushered me to sit down. I reluctantly stared at the spot. It could have a spike under it to poison me. I sat there anyway.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tJVmNdxzg
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmT8no5JsW
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeGS2RkAGD
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQCoPoWcO
'' Finnick. He loves you.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbWjxcBUr
'' He does?'' I am thick.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkmxZwzj9o
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAB1haoI9R
'' So you love him?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGy1mM03ZE
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWKXSWPRvE
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eITNPRE2n
'' Here's your dinner.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMtroNG1z9
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6MejWKCaC
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoztUmSneY
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jFWKP7Tyx
'' Thanks.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ESdlweW3
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBbp5bswSR
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4cuFKTF8t
I make my way to the Training Gym.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBiaF4VFNk
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWz7y0URl7
'' Hey.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoo6y1c8PX
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCs8ydK36L
'' I can't-''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3NwQ5zBA0
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO82C11dHo
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsiLIUcSk1
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVoKF6Ho1L
'' You're a natural.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6teFmOXzD1
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEONkfnf3l
'' Perfect.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPHRyVZiNn
'' Can I work on swords?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNxJxhSWNP
'' Yeah they are exactly the same as a trident.'' So he shows me how to grip a sword and now I am fantastic at that.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMBzn12GUe
'' Archery?'' He laughed.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITJE64GwkP
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xow9klfk
'' Okay.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiSlQeohXx
Finnick looked at me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw2btrPSRU
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiHwXdz6ta
'' How?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XjwZL1QTp
'' Sponsors.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdgB8Zy33a
'' Why?''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfXWiYGo6Z
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJss7kPrirz
He decided against it.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdfNmIm5xn
'' I-'' He left me standing there.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8RDppBHdg
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMFNgKOlN3
'' I'm coming with you.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWoiBN0cCX
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljPsncVtO9
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhtO39NUVd
'' Great Training today Rain.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9iycBkPpR
'' Thanks to you.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztOPPyZ4sI
'' Nah. It's all you.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12klMX5fbr
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdgQgAAFQ7
'' Goodnight Finnick.''506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDvO2mwE9D
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ3NYu1wsB
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXgDSHrPV3
