"Hello!" The voice rang out from the depths of the train car. Then the face emerged. I recognized him as Asher Knight, winner of the 54th annual Hunger Games.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmLroobPl8
"Hello," said Lilac, the other tribute, "I'm Lilac."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFEkYHLkNP
"I know, I saw you getting reaped."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CMOPLrzbw
"I know you did, I'm just giving you a formal introduction."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Si08SOss0
"Well, in that case, I'm Maisie."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoGkNVlju0
"Wait! Where's Anika?" Blurted Asher.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtVkq9kooY
"What? She's in the dining room," Lilac explained.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMehe1YRuEP
"Why?" Both Asher and I asked.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzZB3lGXUK
"How do I know?" And that concluded to conversation. Lilac retreated to her room in the train, and I moved to the dining car to get lunch, where Anika and Anton Duval, winner of the 48th Hunger Games. were talking. Oh, did I mention that Anika and Anton like each other. A lot.
As I was grabbing a roll from the table, Anton asked me, "Are you in here for tips for the Games? Because I have lots."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ilJiXRxI
Sure, I'd love tips, but he won the games by hiding in a cave, setting traps and waiting until almost everyone was dead. Then he came out with all the weapons from his victims, and brutally murdered the last few. No offense to him, but that isn't my style. It's gruesome. Plus, the hiding wouldn't work now, the game makers are too smart. They learned from his win, that they should just start a fire in the cave, or have it collapse, so that they get more encounters.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3forXqfP8Y
"Um, thank you, but no. But I might take you up on that offer later."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcE5dq2kMF
I watched as he and Anika left the room, leaving me to sit down and eat.
"Are you OK Maisie?" It was Asher.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA9nkTuY5d
"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just thinking about my younger brother. I don't know how he'll handle this. My older sister and my mother can, but he's twelve, and I'm the person he goes to when he needs help."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU6CJKAWVM
"Oh...," 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm24VdAnpup
"It's okay, I'm not expecting any sentimentality. Is Lilac okay, I think you're the only one who would check. Anton doesn't seem like the type."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNcW16yqt9
"Yeah, she's fine. She's kind of in her own world."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHIu0tzEwH
"Well, Glad she's ok." I said, standing up, heading the back of the train, and looked out the windows, seeing the city approch.
"Hi Maisie." It was Lilac, walking into the room704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zERByy9ss
"Oh, Hi Lilac," I replied.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1xckrBsw3
We talked until the train stopped. We hadn't seen each other anywhere in the district, but we got to know each other so well in those twenty minutes
