I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi0c1Lu9JU
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpJ5sRg7sc
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe7cc9mkkY
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsESyb7cYT
'' Why am I here?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIn8dWGsl4
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKo8Py7cgz
'' Sleep well?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9xK8OyYe8
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOeotZhTNB
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvaCMr4MMa
'' So Training Day.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4LEEoMI6Q
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuqKmGRdFi
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJoqpDyhvB
'' I want to promise you two things.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUpKHihTV0
'' What things?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmec8GKaEY
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJKKZhXICm
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX4iI0PqGK
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0JbSmOzYm
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xuznptvmM
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0zCWt3bWF
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv10MABUZS
2-1. I think. We both won that.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnjAIQg2Mq
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwndt2izSm
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpspFL0BSGg
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnCG2pKmXp
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Mzjc8ZqZ
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSj84mnT0t
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhURGxOCLHN
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbag3V3sli
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44YbV9myjW
'' 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?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4GykJIQcK
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CSm5XnwT3
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdGxAdAcxR
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGKDRbb4xA
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0JJToIGCB
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd8nLou0vP
'' I'll keep her occupied.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWPIeJIXdN
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BPUyyTVk4
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKgyzdgWcf
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU1aDfFlVb
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyby5LJQ3i
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VQGyK0V8E
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8LZK9Q7C0
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3370pqXotk
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dGpeUh9Go
'' It was.'' I shrugged.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMtKgdFoVD
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLgJreDzKu
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeIJ0bGOnt
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3gaKI5Wu5
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpCvvNT8qF
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1cXn63SzG
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO430u07hBm
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk7fFbx4d3
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUcaUlpegh
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iBbaoWBr4
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL31UFFEtS
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsogOGAI6q
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxRiQqsBae
'' 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.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA3QWXnkRr
I smiled and stared at the opening door.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9GJCHNnfC
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNe5VsJvnt
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPd3QuiG7G
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlDjZteCeV
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6spjDzrU0
'' Hi Bay.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbZBLe9XBU
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNDVac2UG1
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjADt6vi2p
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXGpEnvVqq
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesXyRwNMHl
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NyL7DfAXs
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiSengFomW
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2WPWGi6LZ
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh31ypxTVGy
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OaU074IYr
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94b5TWkrzz
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqsBjvlRdv
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfRgCaOOaF
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmubzxEQNZI
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaLdOGADqM
'' Good.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYSXoANun1
He raised his eyebrows.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn8TzWdqxA
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTAMz0LhQx
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgBzH6D8sg
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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYfJJzEL17
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gDWe0kE8c
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIDVmobzQQ
'' Good and you Bay?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAT3cYNlp1
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8emLUk4SN
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjz1DuAzjH
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRrup8LY98
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB74BR9TWB
'' Still not a natural.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS43hEiutJ
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUNxTvl5FR
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLkDdsqQ3D
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9eL6Kt42D
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi0HsbzPCN
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGw2Dmn31m
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD2pY1GVC3
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuahuarzcq
'' Rain take it up to her.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAuLXDMNGv
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMd0sEhO6Q
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfJXmsuLjY
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo3YsTSI6b
'' What's wrong?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe08mqtpLa
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTuWc4FWYz
'' Just asking. Christ.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aVpYlGpqL
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lOzhIIDHl
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BRDe6C8n1
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxdMxPW2IQ
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9nSJ50asG
'' Finnick. He loves you.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLSUKk9KfZ
'' He does?'' I am thick.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZve0USqOUi
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrGHKyj1t6
'' So you love him?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO0WqIi1sD
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCFV0uVarB
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS9XXWtvAV
'' Here's your dinner.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzShVqgPev
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuWiOYOYV6
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy1R6OInZV
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnoBUMWVtF
'' Thanks.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywdlGjuQ8x
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi4AAvpLNC
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGaMemPWo
I make my way to the Training Gym.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO52ftGH1V5
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBROQEKo9U
'' Hey.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8QY45rTsq
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4FgtUdVH
'' I can't-''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGhGDv64Oo
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw1evaSAaO
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJCM75lGId
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX7SyFhmSJ
'' You're a natural.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dETLqPKpZ
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzfip8V46W
'' Perfect.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo34Xeobpde
'' Can I work on swords?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlqo2zkZLH
'' 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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kKMFpw0RJ
'' Archery?'' He laughed.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2dbuqYOc8
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFwXIlQa1
'' Okay.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpTxJwzv4t
Finnick looked at me.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RSLuMT3Tp
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa1XPqeszT
'' How?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyAfADZj39
'' Sponsors.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOO7rHqgfh
'' Why?''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wIQSmzCHl
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8vp2cJBkX
He decided against it.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7G6thG0kz
'' I-'' He left me standing there.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxM0clvL45
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZLacwZ3fM
'' I'm coming with you.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDM2ce9HMx
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTrQQSbKm1
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cbhgxFn6i
'' Great Training today Rain.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOup1ZzWR1t
'' Thanks to you.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVDa0qPgdK
'' Nah. It's all you.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrSXCkyb6U
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVcWMTtZ46
'' Goodnight Finnick.''445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkZmuVCtiQ
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMFxDrBNDY
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAJZtqOmaO
