We are took to the Training Centre with Finnick on my side and Laurette on Bay's side.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hsAA0TTkA
'' Your on the 4th floor.'' Valora explained. '' It's not bad but District 12's is the best. They have the roof.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j62LCRA03
We go up the elevator to the 4th floor. Once we get there, Valora does a commentary about the floor.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSPHEXffFR
'' And here we have the living space. I know, I know!'' She squealed high pitched.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF9fSnHrJ4
'' Does she ever stop squealing?'' I ask Finnick.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD7vcpUlTY
'' No.'' He shook his head and laughed.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr9sEBcB8Q
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMxXFsCcEk
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX1mixqHWK
'' Dinner will be ready soon.'' Finnick said after I looked around. '' Meet us in the 'dining room' at around 15 minutes.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIroWTGwpd
'' Okay.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJdzTeqe2a
'' Okay.'' He lingered there for a few seconds and walked away again.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaTq2718k9
I sat on my bed and looked out the window.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5HV8AChVL
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVS1LrVAI9
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G3Bd7vgyf
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM48sRFA3wE
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLsSuUdlfY
It's District 4.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQEhyzIG4B
I turn the control off and the mesmerizing scene rippled away. It was like it was never there in the first place.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyMz3rUhLW
Maybe it wasn't.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIhbvKArmp
I notice the time and I hurried to the dining room. Just in time.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYl8Zg9T5i
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEaJaFsdYc
'' Where's Bay?''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP5mWmnr18
'' In his room I think.'' Laurette snarled. '' Shall I get him for you Rainfall?'' She added.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqG9MpyiL
'' 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.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCXxJ7R7lB
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHFD1bLMB
'' No she stuck my head down a toilet when I was 8. We were friends when I was 5 but not now.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnXOfRSlWN
'' She hates you. She told me. Did you know what she also said to me?''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLspfIBNRA
'' What?'' He smirked.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP0YXIR6xh
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1edzy63D5G
Wait is he doing that to me?397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3kK3rUFA7
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7dBMAturV
'' So. Training starts tomorrow.'' Valora said. '' You two need to down there at 10.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHs55SaXX9
'' 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.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdDT8VT5mQ
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGoyCjx5cI
'' 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.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKRUPVQtTf
'' But I chose to go solo in the Games.'' Finnick said.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p2h9oAm8H
'' So did I.'' Laurette added proudly.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xYWjs2kTT
'' After the Private Training Session, you have your interviews. Now I can help you there.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LqH3czdfC
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ2NNdNTds
'' Sponsors will be there.'' Added Carter. '' I will be also making your clothes and Casey will be aiding me.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaXh9eX9nf
'' For likability.'' Casey added. The Prep team nodded.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW6d3nsem6
'' Then there is the Games.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHAsAJhitq
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT6KSRWwfD
We eat our mushroom soup and strawberry shortcake in peace with only talks of joy and laughter.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH34LQ2YQo
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdizg7Y11b
After we finished eating, Finnick came up to me.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqdjkSxxku
'' Can we talk privately?'' He asks.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipwypHdaFs
'' Sure.'' I followed him until we came up to his bedroom.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2gj4fmOcC
'' It's okay. You can come in.'' He ushered me forward. I gave in.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2QRZ5NKYT
I reluctantly came inside. You could see he has decorated it a bit. A flare of District 4. Sea, sun, fish,397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzkIrNhFbd
trident and... a photograph. An old lady smiling at me. I grinned back.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZoZwYET9Y
'' Who's this?''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx79yvdd3F7
'' Umm...'' He looked a little sad.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJkFLLIaSV
'' You don't have to tell me. It just jumped out sor-''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZcGcNJAKy
'' No it's fine. She is my Mentor from the Games I won. Mags.'' He looked down at his feet.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRDBxpQUTt
'' 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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmQL3UDnKF
'' I want to do extra Training with you.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw9D6DA46k
'' Why do you think I am weak?'' I am repulsed.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVdDEVecMl
'' No. No, no, no. I think- change that- I know that you can win the Games.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtShMbYPlaY
'' How? I have no qualities of winning. Plus I can't kill people.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpbfTdV3Nl
'' You don't need to. But if you want to, I can help you there.'' He held his hand out. I declined.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ijl813C3w
'' Have you told Valora?''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zRqLD2uwB
'' If I told you the truth, will you still accept?'' He gritted his teeth.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UsPJIBMkA
'' Tell me.'' I demanded.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPf6eHKKGH
'' Alright. No I think this should be secret.''397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7C2IiOXqy
'' I'm agreeing.'' I take his outstretched hand and shake it.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pktduXUXf
'' Great!'' I am going to enjoy the Training even more. I smile.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAnT3GL6HC
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...397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTNhVZcnv
