I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvFKB3naIM
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvclopaSqr
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIIeQpb13n
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8B77G6QJB
'' Why am I here?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjsoB7sC0F
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MuWKm38qK
'' Sleep well?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckyPeTiaP9
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uD9Jp87eJ
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rgX7yhkrt
'' So Training Day.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeNmvWLVlg
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJSZyZpjaA
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVdubFifB8
'' I want to promise you two things.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QUaVmEzi1
'' What things?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXlUDqiPbL
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtVBS5ry4N
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH09ueRVz3p
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKjhWQzEIc
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvbheGvooi
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex5K6PmR50
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnRzryha8s
2-1. I think. We both won that.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdytJdbJ6N
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6jDKk4QPE
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUorKrj7jv
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmtCbFFFDS
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcPRnarR0z
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhneTZW3BWi
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRak8Bmx0Hh
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4IGozZ2bO
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFCL3ISAxr
'' 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?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDe0W9l4Jv
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1kLLYvjOB
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Mg84XpTv
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kyaylezkL
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA57KICcKF
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CvGWI5E4F
'' I'll keep her occupied.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWdpRvJkEn
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PXhSlbrDU
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHLIYfDBuV
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN0ffqUSo9
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvHcbAGzlk
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcuwuGVLWx
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2RtTXnJN4
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkrd6RKyhm
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs3zPGMMx8
'' It was.'' I shrugged.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ks90bwtuw
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy9Cujyb53
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK1KIMQJXr
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6muK8Y7zcV
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aDxo5h3Sj
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGENIRSgdi8
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbngE3LNNHT
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1pPK9TZr0
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif4UdaywCX
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKsQqLB17c
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQi9Bo2GxV
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajqWQZRkN
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhRBn7JSaT
'' 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.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4eQpGmW1I
I smiled and stared at the opening door.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOecSnuMl
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bl1glItR4
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTFAkfYHZm
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGsYvH8x96
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkvEOAaq7m
'' Hi Bay.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP6Zbn66T4
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Ery8B82j
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW5ktqjuvH
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDQlUydHZa
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DZ7ZLVJZE
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xfgs5h2Cs
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEPEj5gKgv
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjnfUOVLXf
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGgrucVYpV
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaGc6Q5J2J
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmyxAFiv24
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8fOcSet4J
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdMdnpUjDV
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr4N49JLsI
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGArrjbs4M
'' Good.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2SgY16n6d
He raised his eyebrows.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgt3izCXYX
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj0gFTENIF
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMq2zFitn
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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrNXBFQSOS
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKwNzOxkvY
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9exiohqHo
'' Good and you Bay?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuegomBlKl1
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW78rJV8dz
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lf7hN87NS
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciStIgxddS
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo98SQxUELX
'' Still not a natural.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oLf0ddCYu
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g1FhRfhNJ
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqRcCv5Bn2
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVAeZIpf9I
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB71TqUJ9s
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsNfD4tlBi
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvV2K3tT6g
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vqa69BP9r
'' Rain take it up to her.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSdB8IQelL
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxELXI5tHz
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w8NR72zyq
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrKJJXUN5P
'' What's wrong?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMcIIHmeXV
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkWiCWoOd
'' Just asking. Christ.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWlnBQJOtV
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUliRYZTG5
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBRcvFtfIW
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMemZSHOfgR
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcktj53Nj2
'' Finnick. He loves you.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSmCytXd5l
'' He does?'' I am thick.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYGgH6QYNm
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiWZGOW4T3
'' So you love him?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqDnB3X6pG
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtvTDglZoX
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLawcL72o6b
'' Here's your dinner.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz4D1JRMKA
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNg93qZt6
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDY4NqF9vT
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIueFr9ZEF9
'' Thanks.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbm7q7weKB
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTJYiXSPkq
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HdMcM1rFj
I make my way to the Training Gym.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY8iigCttp
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q6ZkEHhYc
'' Hey.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHqngvgl4M
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaNUDcJRI2
'' I can't-''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ojv7YEN8b
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppmHLZNdXc
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPkAwCnZiu
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitxD02YFEV
'' You're a natural.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzq747IEPc
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o8UUaCDXp
'' Perfect.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oex2jvmVe
'' Can I work on swords?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHFMZKlaqS
'' 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.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZLhgujgA5
'' Archery?'' He laughed.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJoTkkxddO
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV1CeLVO4H
'' Okay.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObXLPpoQ4d
Finnick looked at me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVbLzgVdMw
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU6yWzlrJ8
'' How?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsuY7HiaWf
'' Sponsors.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA1h6oluRt
'' Why?''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYibVK5Bx9
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyESqaRAxM
He decided against it.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUCaiuilq4
'' I-'' He left me standing there.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw5Uh5kLhe
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIdf4UINNf
'' I'm coming with you.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYCRBbFxJM
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtuKZiig5U
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD7kYyeSSA
'' Great Training today Rain.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDQyDDvhi4
'' Thanks to you.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXQcbaFqCT
'' Nah. It's all you.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj21aCqnLL
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3wvCdFQWF
'' Goodnight Finnick.''444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS3DCjuz0T
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ45foMdVo
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2mSHkaAv3
