I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDuHr110Ve
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4lgMNQYn0
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO8kbyFLr3
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNHBy9UsYB
'' Why am I here?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkJQNsWME9
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1q8jPrlcc
'' Sleep well?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5iAEs7QmK
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKRb1CAa2H
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvI6fzGDTc
'' So Training Day.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPfdBscmou
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXhseXpF6g
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxrNHj5Vgn
'' I want to promise you two things.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBsjoisWvz
'' What things?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKVO5isUq5
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBImP2xG8L
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9kI4Gdi5m
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYfWFM1IZ
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd2boaKH5M
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pdD7en12R
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5BPHPCxZj
2-1. I think. We both won that.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82hixr7wkB
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWOQp6O0aI
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd5HygGWyQ
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUAroblGqH
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRjUQCAg9W
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6AJH47zJ1
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1j3LvaXdJ
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2b0JGd0Gl
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpe9nSFtwd
'' 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?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a24bBesqh
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT0jPL7cfi
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLDurIe3UG
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxZfYgSXvg
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmoCp6BiiD
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJiSNbNVbL
'' I'll keep her occupied.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6hhthAzo4
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw2NpPI1Nv
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcShMQP5wr
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBqpds0pjN
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tQit6Exl7
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgncYJU7Kt
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eRoFN0szx
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHnDNrvc96
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawsYdVwsUm
'' It was.'' I shrugged.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6xlVuEQAl
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqnnbckB8E
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWv2ZUdxvB
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OuR5sgh8w
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IlXEp8aCU
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBp6QuPFZ
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnlEpvvZUM
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptWHj8PVqV
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVf4JaAjvm
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUESOk97tZH
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdUXp0JZFv
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9qSnfNLdk
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwUuhWRE5F
'' 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.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6bVFSk3BU
I smiled and stared at the opening door.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WOfM0DmNc
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Rr5kd2q8
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0Z1FZYxl
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnnSTD6RGP
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VyNTgzrhd
'' Hi Bay.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyat8m8pcZr
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuRJUtt4Kk
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fV6QgJXJV
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDvi8Siuka
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUjCDzsHKN
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrgiH2dU3I
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPmEsHl0kQ
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfAcga51yX
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj0HBOGNDJ
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYw6aMnbx5
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnNY7tgTwP
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLSgC2Pgp1
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDVquDurKy
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUlwXAReni
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dPMXb9KB0
'' Good.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJeDMGGMUm
He raised his eyebrows.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnBwcqr1uk
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUg4Wm9hg5
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn2MYpzN72
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlioSdgmXZ6
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBSD0bIJ67
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYELQBTCFf
'' Good and you Bay?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVIltW0MzN
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1fX0sJMPX
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mYoHZG9Y9
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6VzljGs6T
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLH5Gw0WF0
'' Still not a natural.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XTO3HXmra
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iD3e0wouL
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabW7oWwHn1
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZCrwBtTuk
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gUEhp9Y4s
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwIuB3D1PX
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLssoer4C5
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd60EWpLBtC
'' Rain take it up to her.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ7EDcSNb8
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOh5Wrvot
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNiv0sXQmx
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH36lDB6IVN
'' What's wrong?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJMSYByP5o
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGjnvBn6io
'' Just asking. Christ.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAtDvAzuRL
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhzFTMn0ue
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlYwSabM9V
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyAnBJHofU
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqnxNIT6Cg
'' Finnick. He loves you.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZPogmkaYw
'' He does?'' I am thick.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bMYxHWBfn
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HyIghpNsm
'' So you love him?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNAgzhTVLH
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF5bzg1C7Y
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sg28rCnLg
'' Here's your dinner.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpMCsPDcTU
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAXEossZaD
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y36ffMnqA
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrhuIl1GdO
'' Thanks.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiATQnZHiX
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO4Hgm5z31
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8lpw4hT0e
I make my way to the Training Gym.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWtCkL3UT
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD0LZfOh8a
'' Hey.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiFJUFyB0b
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn15ep7ffZj
'' I can't-''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghA9s1Hdrn
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXTw4s60pN
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOghDnQRX0
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLYTgYyxcM
'' You're a natural.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7TN9Jvpaw
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf4k2KFQa4
'' Perfect.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz68Pt2qg6Y
'' Can I work on swords?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh16BpSpqtT
'' 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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwajLowT4c
'' Archery?'' He laughed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P8whY4EzL
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlta9jo11cf
'' Okay.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jB6mAyEAi
Finnick looked at me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEnqGExSht
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVoHCyZSww
'' How?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCV6R25c1i
'' Sponsors.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W2QF7Ljbh
'' Why?''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWRhYs8WnQ
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNmfMvR7K9
He decided against it.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDSQ4gsZ21
'' I-'' He left me standing there.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriaBLvuJh9
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaxbcU5yNZ
'' I'm coming with you.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ4a3odxFv
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkYNN4cngS
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEE8XOmcsA
'' Great Training today Rain.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fz6it9JrZ
'' Thanks to you.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvWnUYZDLo
'' Nah. It's all you.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6TR4PBoy0
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklTHZCbyx6
'' Goodnight Finnick.''416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86jXgSiaWc
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ7kSIlAb8
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQQJI6cxcc
