We are took to the Training Centre with Finnick on my side and Laurette on Bay's side.482Please respect copyright.PENANAPBQkB0junM
'' Your on the 4th floor.'' Valora explained. '' It's not bad but District 12's is the best. They have the roof.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAOusjPKi4wz
We go up the elevator to the 4th floor. Once we get there, Valora does a commentary about the floor.482Please respect copyright.PENANAbTwmbWjTZD
'' And here we have the living space. I know, I know!'' She squealed high pitched.482Please respect copyright.PENANA5UbqnVm8lm
'' Does she ever stop squealing?'' I ask Finnick.482Please respect copyright.PENANA0xWy8Wly1Q
'' No.'' He shook his head and laughed.482Please respect copyright.PENANAxOV1MOf0pu
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAobSMB4RWbW
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAsVXT5jitgV
'' Dinner will be ready soon.'' Finnick said after I looked around. '' Meet us in the 'dining room' at around 15 minutes.''482Please respect copyright.PENANArwwKnQPXfz
'' Okay.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAnV4wOvd7NU
'' Okay.'' He lingered there for a few seconds and walked away again.482Please respect copyright.PENANAprkb7KgzkU
I sat on my bed and looked out the window.482Please respect copyright.PENANAuqC25Y4MUR
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.482Please respect copyright.PENANA2dwqxnGcTP
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.482Please respect copyright.PENANADmHcsQ5zc4
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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAuC31QH8Tqv
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.482Please respect copyright.PENANATZYkrSooOw
It's District 4.482Please respect copyright.PENANAGsqK5o0jAn
I turn the control off and the mesmerizing scene rippled away. It was like it was never there in the first place.482Please respect copyright.PENANALRcmdmhQhj
Maybe it wasn't.482Please respect copyright.PENANA62YQqlAffs
I notice the time and I hurried to the dining room. Just in time.482Please respect copyright.PENANAKMjW5zDmow
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAAvCzbafbdZ
'' Where's Bay?''482Please respect copyright.PENANA4kXenFxl7y
'' In his room I think.'' Laurette snarled. '' Shall I get him for you Rainfall?'' She added.482Please respect copyright.PENANAoW3PBCWDl0
'' 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.''482Please respect copyright.PENANA2W05JLBCjg
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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAYnIAqyWXsy
'' No she stuck my head down a toilet when I was 8. We were friends when I was 5 but not now.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAQS8AuUqfZw
'' She hates you. She told me. Did you know what she also said to me?''482Please respect copyright.PENANA24hMK81nXb
'' What?'' He smirked.482Please respect copyright.PENANAaR4MQPNcjq
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAUEvW5bomKf
Wait is he doing that to me?482Please respect copyright.PENANAr9MAa3y1k1
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAj1DgiphQWi
'' So. Training starts tomorrow.'' Valora said. '' You two need to down there at 10.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAYMzeZqwMh7
'' 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.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAvSBvbDxych
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANA87JgPqnPx3
'' 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.''482Please respect copyright.PENANA1jpCEWtlaM
'' But I chose to go solo in the Games.'' Finnick said.482Please respect copyright.PENANATvUTF9WWsQ
'' So did I.'' Laurette added proudly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAMwQO2yzXtX
'' After the Private Training Session, you have your interviews. Now I can help you there.''482Please respect copyright.PENANADm8S4h4HPb
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANA4mMlX5d1zj
'' Sponsors will be there.'' Added Carter. '' I will be also making your clothes and Casey will be aiding me.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAFLq4PLyV9o
'' For likability.'' Casey added. The Prep team nodded.482Please respect copyright.PENANA2NtprM02W0
'' Then there is the Games.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAFhCcxUiKvm
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANARSM55PTrUV
We eat our mushroom soup and strawberry shortcake in peace with only talks of joy and laughter.482Please respect copyright.PENANAZi0Vy7xI5H
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAssKNNsvM89
After we finished eating, Finnick came up to me.482Please respect copyright.PENANA9mP7e1tBC3
'' Can we talk privately?'' He asks.482Please respect copyright.PENANANPvKyCYtcx
'' Sure.'' I followed him until we came up to his bedroom.482Please respect copyright.PENANAtnRH7oKOEI
'' It's okay. You can come in.'' He ushered me forward. I gave in.482Please respect copyright.PENANAdFqe9l45E2
I reluctantly came inside. You could see he has decorated it a bit. A flare of District 4. Sea, sun, fish,482Please respect copyright.PENANAZKoVX3DiuB
trident and... a photograph. An old lady smiling at me. I grinned back.482Please respect copyright.PENANADVzX3ttyVs
'' Who's this?''482Please respect copyright.PENANANXfKgWfndL
'' Umm...'' He looked a little sad.482Please respect copyright.PENANAhdu9W4j5is
'' You don't have to tell me. It just jumped out sor-''482Please respect copyright.PENANAWujOVqpLdq
'' No it's fine. She is my Mentor from the Games I won. Mags.'' He looked down at his feet.482Please respect copyright.PENANApRhoCcN3m3
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sc8gZWXPI
'' I want to do extra Training with you.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAE7X7Eaxg74
'' Why do you think I am weak?'' I am repulsed.482Please respect copyright.PENANAsymOUjAcuU
'' No. No, no, no. I think- change that- I know that you can win the Games.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAS5LgphHBs2
'' How? I have no qualities of winning. Plus I can't kill people.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAOYcv77d7zU
'' You don't need to. But if you want to, I can help you there.'' He held his hand out. I declined.482Please respect copyright.PENANAhvW3FE4r3K
'' Have you told Valora?''482Please respect copyright.PENANARY6UU0wIOg
'' If I told you the truth, will you still accept?'' He gritted his teeth.482Please respect copyright.PENANAO2UdEtZhfv
'' Tell me.'' I demanded.482Please respect copyright.PENANAc53o0yhDeu
'' Alright. No I think this should be secret.''482Please respect copyright.PENANAquCl78xeow
'' I'm agreeing.'' I take his outstretched hand and shake it.482Please respect copyright.PENANAw7huWpCs5z
'' Great!'' I am going to enjoy the Training even more. I smile.482Please respect copyright.PENANACqKpnN2WI6
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...482Please respect copyright.PENANAITim7rZiF7
