I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf3zTj02qG
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sI2XjkQZJ
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7zuwkRuX8
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLWwAmskL6
'' Why am I here?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCunqONt9vg
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwp87Q3bXW
'' Sleep well?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNJff1ywJ1
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVszeeSnmsU
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzkSQpYFK1
'' So Training Day.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQkF2oOf1H
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcsfkFLY3d
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IkMQd0Pck
'' I want to promise you two things.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1DMXupjc4
'' What things?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7HbttnqFj
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOycKOK1kNi
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKjSmsefBR
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt9upRXZAL
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv4EL8aN1r
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qlzPTqkEH
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YX5JkY1La
2-1. I think. We both won that.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29InXmnw6B
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U9yKuGV0I
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKBylr3Azb
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmiztguJo9
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOIzhwzFGC
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidroixDZeE
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Ni92T6fx
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbM99rfVcn
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ytk3CzmC
'' 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?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pZviNGssV
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCJO4IsV8b
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDTmBqfX4h
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Szxjvqk6h
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdiMfXBOSp
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c15isIZUY
'' I'll keep her occupied.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGVcQ8CpNr
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxzBNxb3cS
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpccquLgYSz
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMt7Av6F0M
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUWitv8bby
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFPkb4504g
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNMo9Br5Cp
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCNRIa02Hn
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpcspzYa6w
'' It was.'' I shrugged.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCLuDV08ta
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa2UMFT3Eu
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhgeOn95sC
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK0Z0UlPCI
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5nL8GeNGQ
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGVdPrz6IM
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadEb1GF0EJ
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiXPkMGly8
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEMbVMsOBk
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHIc2ahfG8
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVAj3Cl7xo
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA352XPgZw
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1zBJ3G52n
'' 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.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAWJisGwCu
I smiled and stared at the opening door.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi82zKvo7B
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm2fjCc5AF
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcZvSnGpNs
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQajYOrRpd
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVKf1B2qyC
'' Hi Bay.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmYAvfQ3zl
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr1T1MgGmp
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaPNLfznVz
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3oJMVV1bV
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WOHkZUyMw
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbzVpHggza
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVPI1wTIN0
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRL3luYK0j
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG8kYXMo7r
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKkNBYrvou
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcoufUgZHQ
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNVnxbvnMp
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkv7ZSw4Rz
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qFf6PIA3
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytctJYJEQd
'' Good.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExeZqD56FF
He raised his eyebrows.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoQ81hMZ3p
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckxyx1pbSy
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hKUL0Rabt
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsbTWb3bMq
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNENmeYyaLu
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINC1Z1rgqt
'' Good and you Bay?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UWnYMIUBk
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QsxdeYKn1
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIz9OR0yBq
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVrOut51Rp
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KTLBN0Zjs
'' Still not a natural.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAklIFsMhj
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzINsuI7Ij7
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVT5Dfa7nx
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO2Azv0d5g
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj4Q0Nm9ws
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduLupjtWjL
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfLDLIWkpb
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhOEKKK8mh
'' Rain take it up to her.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj0HirXnl6
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZaUeC6KMQ
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKxTwYEQrU
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcfaNBPmJC
'' What's wrong?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE4DzwLhdM
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR8p9AYcD5
'' Just asking. Christ.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrrYsA7mMn
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfuGQlOrRN
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rHPBFYZhf
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyzuxpavME
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqQyYvpFmd
'' Finnick. He loves you.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JKigylYcA
'' He does?'' I am thick.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6J7kl1gPz
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7YISBcP9k
'' So you love him?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinImHTt0GK
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1FukkuNWi
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxRGHqzgRL
'' Here's your dinner.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TQ4sx5A2k
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyfzcJrWUU
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAAzO0Bhzr
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGsOBf4x2B
'' Thanks.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNyMdJxV8o
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlgsxIQiKP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWLXyecWLe
I make my way to the Training Gym.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe0J6FWfTN
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TtCPEv8Jp
'' Hey.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30v77Gy678
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE42iTmL0NX
'' I can't-''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBvuegvRt
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJfLLfSEK9
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQmjLktK6B
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsTRUHUOhm
'' You're a natural.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZQkQcyr69
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8jbvpCHt5
'' Perfect.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpieCgW1jF
'' Can I work on swords?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjOIPP8LYp
'' 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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59UqueMYQf
'' Archery?'' He laughed.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAeJxgaLNr
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX2PaPz2Iq
'' Okay.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj5aXclnwo
Finnick looked at me.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgZcfn4eMl
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYD9Tw6lBt
'' How?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Dt2uafHf
'' Sponsors.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX7U93Pb1G
'' Why?''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpweeDbGNtf
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkMtNkSfp2
He decided against it.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk5H163XLs
'' I-'' He left me standing there.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIfKAzLGcK
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8iqPyk5Ou
'' I'm coming with you.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlGUl6Dedl
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt4QnNOkgK
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU0ylJcZcY
'' Great Training today Rain.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXW7Vp6BF7
'' Thanks to you.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMMrdmYWCI
'' Nah. It's all you.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8viNdgPtc
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30DCwfewSl
'' Goodnight Finnick.''417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZUGVM3zBe
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXquB5zjNg
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzHSlzKu3H
