I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsozyakz0q
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIFZS0BYMD
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z2CkSxFrg
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18iPycStCE
'' Why am I here?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8QDklIFMP
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq1WgQLYqE
'' Sleep well?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTvk6Yr3x
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQhx438bm0
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKxwhxI4x
'' So Training Day.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvdUnKJMJV
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVqAq9fBhI
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJIoQ2hZ4
'' I want to promise you two things.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ne9cA5zxh
'' What things?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblimXqj2KV
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6eQCUqDjQ
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMP6NX5ivt
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6KdjUrcMP
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS48HUGh4O
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9V3JrIcZq
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtmR3iWvkl
2-1. I think. We both won that.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm3KljkP4I
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcozSY54toy
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ8MMWEbIM
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ysJu6J65
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9QtdtK1HW
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPiQE2Y0Rm
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvnPGqeIQM
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBJmWTgFXR
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VkaqvTsrt
'' 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?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatKeJi5eUl
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3031v57pf
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hBVDhCl3P
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddIYzB0fC
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g9kEzkjyx
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQLYmVgpxV
'' I'll keep her occupied.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84hl1MGGCa
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0oOklN91o
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawcaOgQLbI
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6pj43Ss7f
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XoOozqUsy
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWLSb6579D
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04xMWMIzKR
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAlC9cf9qo
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQfcFEQDBP
'' It was.'' I shrugged.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvUgaOXS9H
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L8x56rG9Z
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJWhDkSuU2
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCA8oTxxsx
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad2G3E5uDL
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJBwToFMW
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTNPklG2vx
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23PvlP798b
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Prfj61WOF
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22365EybwY
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2gbMQ4quR
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbxcD35px6
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nrXvphF0c
'' 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.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz901ViK2T4
I smiled and stared at the opening door.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj3kYl0sYe
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVdtL7hMj4
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDb1GhQBwE
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1onjwfe3A
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn0UwhikMJ
'' Hi Bay.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOWuhrgWMZ
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMt6a2iOa0
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKWYcuGYAd
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjQmblqSeq
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc5uSiwGIZ
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCk6w5D1d8
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZURK57b69C
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Yd9MylVy
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh9DImNg30
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSHN9beLSt
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrBr98PAu1
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4XakM6uq2
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeeDN0kAGu
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMZUYolTxb
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZnpH7FCOF
'' Good.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdJ0HmaA9q
He raised his eyebrows.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9pqdkK7p4
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFZP4YGS33
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEKq5pAooz
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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Z9ax5ZFL
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0E55AQxZ1
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg6Q3iV82p
'' Good and you Bay?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpyloXvKql
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMeSOI8JVs
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cAG5luXLB
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng98rjA1F4
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS7QPBdH1F
'' Still not a natural.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnSmZtaY1r
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8PO9YyGQU
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSJLU3uwsC
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtJo22cXVV
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooUKm2c81M
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns3IfVTe0L
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeifbXncFq
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDBE28Nypm
'' Rain take it up to her.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6iNySgVMv
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ITZLhUrM
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSWhpOW2D2
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG5YRKzlnJ
'' What's wrong?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgTCu4Y85e
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr3y1imCNH
'' Just asking. Christ.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmlDaeJ6Du
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFa0Vr9mRX
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHivMZWZvwC
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjX4W1mtrG
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwbn5WwThv
'' Finnick. He loves you.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfNblEmqV4
'' He does?'' I am thick.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6deoCFDAq8
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyxLqkj9Bu
'' So you love him?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS4W1dARVg
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyAeFbsogA
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkli6WUMop
'' Here's your dinner.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0E1v6tb0S
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIw7hFiHev
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5oVUFjPCg
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuYoqgka8
'' Thanks.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVQvMYSNrz
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bzj8dnUVc
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNbgdC2Snn
I make my way to the Training Gym.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3qo6JDU9k
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUflLEXFyj
'' Hey.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cIzzMCb67
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTc5XD7ovh
'' I can't-''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsALu6BmJw
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH98EKkKiy
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCzqGYWL1S
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC1M4xwk8V
'' You're a natural.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyKVi7krEx
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtGHZksRIt
'' Perfect.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jn25GJehR
'' Can I work on swords?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2csPpKLngY
'' 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.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlC03BeIAF
'' Archery?'' He laughed.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpA8jdaH6J
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDZXBYE3nN
'' Okay.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiKTEhlWSs
Finnick looked at me.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw6NBJz0Qc
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2v8HnY0fh
'' How?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGcQIfuCev
'' Sponsors.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNROqJnrsci
'' Why?''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QyVSrRuco
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdT5JJEGC5
He decided against it.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuG0E7gczY
'' I-'' He left me standing there.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDie4JCcP7t
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYAr6RKD6r
'' I'm coming with you.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ0hPKHBPX
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWafZQbmB
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OJGjDLpdm
'' Great Training today Rain.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gh4m1b1vI
'' Thanks to you.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxZNuDdTA9
'' Nah. It's all you.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ABworxtNO
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33rkeY8d5D
'' Goodnight Finnick.''499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqrw0lwoSl
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sQ7KjcAAT
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtpxLBcNFD
