I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnXVAwhmny
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjGGclexoB
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkZm2gqW99
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CACde4Bls
'' Why am I here?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMPglyudWC
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxj6HxMyv
'' Sleep well?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeiQzasdpP
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilKCuPdwSY
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ArRZWD7np
'' So Training Day.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmNTurkhmu
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeUkR565Wi
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzkPXD6oWh
'' I want to promise you two things.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX0ZorJqp7
'' What things?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ExQ5lwOLD
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66b6DGOtK4
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv7KayC6SK
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogWc7ifPml
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4bc9Qkkpz
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jyfpfwp4T
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZgEQnJpZP
2-1. I think. We both won that.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYlMMia1LJ
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRdyVyIXAg
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i9gdbbhdP
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKsd97tNsv
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdadlSmMX0
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl6qduiB0d
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndSqEXvvac
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZsgtE6jX5
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovb1mC9WPJ
'' 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?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYc1AZjSiR
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8GdELF1sj
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMCptLckvi
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NfUAUYrC0
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgCNJ4Gj33
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Uc5kH4Sk
'' I'll keep her occupied.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqoHlcbvwp
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAclxDhuaP
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkzHrebYBo
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu55h5rmXh
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ltMXc8Ov5
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd774x0vvcL
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vk0dUA58u
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3H7Yb7Iij
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB3b5qdOmW
'' It was.'' I shrugged.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHATaFSGS3
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuR9dx1hen
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYELSikyVuz
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHx8cBljsI
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UV1iT4Rrc
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPazxmAvOs3
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJHLmHe6s7
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP7BJQ2i5Z
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP5ntBB9T1
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tqCexQMmE
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSkfb3aXTQ
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKdJCv6IZY
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPYxcsQl8R
'' 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.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOuyPfsXpZ
I smiled and stared at the opening door.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb5utmakdP
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WOAJEPSXK
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH0PCnyEja
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSCcLfwpXw
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrREwqJQao
'' Hi Bay.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWebhXRTyKL
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWsX3wXCa0
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9gIlUCawb
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwqe8vUHzg
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Asx9JGhfW
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad01cfr0oH
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOmyNpIgqI
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTQmcZSpe
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPky8YfsMF
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW1hLzn9hd
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOARToS7AFQ
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WKQbAqnca
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg38o7GpyiK
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcSLdKZVYR
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWl6fj3zpV
'' Good.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihKPhx0hhv
He raised his eyebrows.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtevRM4NPbV
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS775x5334
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmMFrQEaLr
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhC3IcNwlT
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7toa4ijHak
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ckPVjXq9
'' Good and you Bay?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQOCAcSNwt
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iDz4r5PE4
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB6zoxnkZ5
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndD3upVPgo
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8d7x7Xery
'' Still not a natural.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRWwRNeiya
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVrb6z3KXT
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTd0HfaNMj
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sVUVcwfmV
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvQJ4a2DtA
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w1oh7RmtE
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBw7VUg6NO
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTP8ADQiIl
'' Rain take it up to her.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRCO2Mc8vm
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0YuA9criA
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEfgUlN5ix
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpinanzPMEl
'' What's wrong?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIBEC08lME
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBYQke8CBJ
'' Just asking. Christ.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT3jygDpu6
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9cZQLVwBs
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrM78eyCg
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr4ps8OWwC
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy1jQlOzV5
'' Finnick. He loves you.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT2KrKgnAK
'' He does?'' I am thick.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqglXHXv5O
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLynCk91aNx
'' So you love him?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ooEefEe3
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcg3hh7buO
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbXGFuZrZ
'' Here's your dinner.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyHmCT2Lwf
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQCuAjLeFs
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEad7gkSwz
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZnGsXd4IO
'' Thanks.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Etf5Qr1i
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHuvUkuKDQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuoDTpat1s
I make my way to the Training Gym.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbijiGBzM5W
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSbGbK6Yit
'' Hey.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtGSDjLPMc
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCGBbQjvzj
'' I can't-''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpGR0UXWRI
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfcT8Bwjeb
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYMVKXlbQO
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFGLY1DU3U
'' You're a natural.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcme2Rv0Clk
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA41FGbAmX
'' Perfect.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerB6KSqpYr
'' Can I work on swords?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxFDrB9gyX
'' 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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgEW1bzyw9
'' Archery?'' He laughed.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4qk5gsY1O
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7z1YfPgIE
'' Okay.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xhw4ACZk6
Finnick looked at me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqySyQPOmJ
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWJsaCW6kq
'' How?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bPVftXO1f
'' Sponsors.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v1bBa7jqB
'' Why?''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m5JVMPrr9
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqfoBrAxJa
He decided against it.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKl6ZD11Yn
'' I-'' He left me standing there.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8StZ9WNZr
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeBcaa6ZkW
'' I'm coming with you.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPBiH1xSa1
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb43YrT4me4
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUSkGpEVOm
'' Great Training today Rain.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE10jAX1f73
'' Thanks to you.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87SU9kSEc
'' Nah. It's all you.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfz61icaUD
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs0qnLrADI
'' Goodnight Finnick.''415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZlJFCLvFv
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx4wg3z1h6
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LdnBDb3e3
