I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIOpiZd2bs
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO10v6DEZo
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZpnuXh8vR
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cKEWuy7pw
'' Why am I here?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdPjcE1XR2
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaGJzlwFFW
'' Sleep well?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP7rE3zKJC
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp2JFtV1RX
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau782ORylH
'' So Training Day.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi6Pr4HehE
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR01Y5p5lR
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh1rjpKhE5
'' I want to promise you two things.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlkpoJwEW9
'' What things?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd3MmGD1zc
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAd51VNWB0
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5tV8fnspL
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxOuN125Ne
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5jMQgdnyK
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQVboZYzS4
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygpMXvQPWC
2-1. I think. We both won that.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJDP61Kzu
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxN1fXelDj
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuG69QMbGv
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeTodixolJ
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvv7IcsCBf
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKTuBf4mTu
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaUKV224Gc
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjtviRYl5R
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvpAa7kqeL
'' 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?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC8Hdc8RRQ
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64SxiltIsu
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf8BZ4k7Ye
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1eDDMY0R
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Gqtrs8kM
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolEAfAoY93
'' I'll keep her occupied.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zDzF5Pi5W
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2CEOMPAir
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXJkN917EF
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVyFm4fwp7
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VQq6VIpKA
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHMvd68nhq
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm9bh3Kf9I
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyNNEINPLI
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bJqgKhLXR
'' It was.'' I shrugged.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lblTKYXMS
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2xLWAbq1d
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbKfNlrMfT
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYj3nvkCxT
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrNA1PZ7BX
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX80uAv7xV
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpjDEvxT3y
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUnYpvl0di
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVPUBiiZLX
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9kazrZ2vQ
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpJdoqdMHV
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4O7IInUsP
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnonKyXplvk
'' 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.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OOhi2pUao
I smiled and stared at the opening door.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqySPoaVM7
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCT6nkZFER
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFONhSBNTRn
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPAVu5203X
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S4vm8ap1O
'' Hi Bay.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKMwOTEKij
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2gm5MPIzV
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJrpphzK5c
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wDALFVCua
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7peEq4sh34
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuTv2Aw6f3
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOIGJp2vHv
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzhJbhFZk9
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsIQs0zxVU
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmdlYBNeEu
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDptY0LUqm
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlK3wqiGiJ
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIXh9JmGBQ
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0OuwoQsDF
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHMoqiUiCH
'' Good.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CzuD5Hc9J
He raised his eyebrows.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuGHEmuB1k
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO9Qp54i9c
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauA1gf7p3s
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9m3ppHUNV
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxFdh19CDp
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeuEXDT1I2
'' Good and you Bay?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEFZUOKY1W
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlyTR9H23f
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1chq90tFvW
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtMcdyTgW2
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMXicEQvXn
'' Still not a natural.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O1T90wrC7
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjTWwEJcHj
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeB2Pm9vLj
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnoTS7lNIS
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GLBhOCT2o
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7duFHznrP
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanLub4vNX2
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fC8DsON8r
'' Rain take it up to her.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge1IaCAFcG
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS2imC8o0Y
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM9WiAi7SX
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf38LXHtgg
'' What's wrong?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33gv61aRqx
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbbTyRMRVo
'' Just asking. Christ.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiANSxK9Jb
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvv41BamY
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaKg27DmA4
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6tpXI4sJi
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov50L7f7nP
'' Finnick. He loves you.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBRcJji9Et
'' He does?'' I am thick.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1pjgnj497
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8WuNE7j28
'' So you love him?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7RQzCPjAy
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmcYCraYr
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmNcWhEtSo
'' Here's your dinner.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOzSZUMt3m
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt285TdjbY
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVa3DEUppK
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wa2Q4Nrjz
'' Thanks.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF5NOmS0mG
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQrOP0bpUw
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WWWVCIAeA
I make my way to the Training Gym.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9hEIkFOKu
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rQTut3as2
'' Hey.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHacmz5stT
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sn5k959uo
'' I can't-''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhqxsuTPyY
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1c3bKR4Cb
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWpiv6JAPp
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkGPk7tUgw
'' You're a natural.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco8VR1tkSr
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7DqfAU1gI
'' Perfect.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowiIy5ApNE
'' Can I work on swords?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVKKALyOF
'' 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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZg6pNteMp
'' Archery?'' He laughed.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVzIcVaNeB
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzpiheHxJi
'' Okay.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0bhr6byB
Finnick looked at me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHGgzlVBw0
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kCGhKYvPj
'' How?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQTOLlGuTa
'' Sponsors.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o2dBFWgsi
'' Why?''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFYbzf1thf
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVAqMzFuwI
He decided against it.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzk0HVM0rf
'' I-'' He left me standing there.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRncziSqC7h
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGF1m4H5uU
'' I'm coming with you.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DBwNZaO88
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKnN294xhC
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ3WytgSKa
'' Great Training today Rain.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc3LFVh2mD
'' Thanks to you.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxWVadsGUm
'' Nah. It's all you.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ801iuLkMEY
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoradRe1OB
'' Goodnight Finnick.''465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fv3N5xaE0
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRlMgmXVYK
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYsXcO8km
