I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsuMGP0zxm
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG7cEcS9Bf
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtAk193M3u
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUWGGDwGd3
'' Why am I here?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJ95omYxX
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdurOPsYSe2
'' Sleep well?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqWk6CXDib
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl4qv9PS8m
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlRhaGJ8zY
'' So Training Day.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWo6gvIe81
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPmtgRD5JL
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz7jQh0Apz
'' I want to promise you two things.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAvWGMso0A
'' What things?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqqMTGExMo
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfXqzOIzp8
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XIETorlNr
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdRn0L4EjQ
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C603FPLfe
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTobC251trO
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo2NL3zPHS
2-1. I think. We both won that.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKuMLysAjH
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd50P86QBy
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWIkHMUxt
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdehZZPrA9
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pmeqcmx3Y
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jv1sQJeKg
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxuWPtWEVw
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5WajnnGUq
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZaa1C1KQM
'' 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?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yjvv8ZsNV
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB0VLki80c
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFcJPdmQYc
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0LWvh5vJT
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIusDgMWpN
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YslIiz49y
'' I'll keep her occupied.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMy3J4kPA4
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1MctqtgmS
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vRwQAOpEY
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWKw0uBljb
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1cceFCHVY
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZtqvk1jKF
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIC2eCwQYP
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nRdz5TcMP
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamODNkYOEI
'' It was.'' I shrugged.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWq6YFJvvH
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw5cKFhDR4
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1qiFdCD1g
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvcMCbrmGX
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41u9eePwSG
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlI1Eoeg2g
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoLJboUDKB
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOC4YRjNnb
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXxdYbCdsE
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ3fIeEDRo
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesdRwbIPZ6
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u3zI2Lkgd
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKd1ZVgDy7
'' 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.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NzfE6rnWr
I smiled and stared at the opening door.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYVxxEAiYQ
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWAJYAFfee
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg1WwG3X3Z
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxXl4vZEOX
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlU64TGK8U
'' Hi Bay.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvb0rHGvFK
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hsqlYp0M
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv8iCcbiXk
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPoWh6CMM
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhREJi0HI0
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5wCn8PzrM
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEIJ3E0ahM
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE3OiN6jvO
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0UQChZsRr
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL6Yu9CvjU
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigym4R9aaF
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvFTliblL2
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0NTYi2BNm
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5C4rHWBR7
copyright protection15ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KxY5FvomN
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQCVJYeUjZ
'' Good.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ZL0Y42zR
He raised his eyebrows.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5X19oI50A
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgrPcbNq67
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3dqPdoTgY
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF3IHd7qj7
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wnrlAC81J
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrMtSCHgvY
'' Good and you Bay?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegDiZlv6LO
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLlBdGbQOd
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4FmxxYfNu
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2KQlJcRQX
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3J1FXHRNv
'' Still not a natural.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nAJK7gIm4
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz7YqtIDky
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Cj1hhI84
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecsOWcWdVj
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Tq7kTPXd
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxe0Rfh8Yq
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcCG1zTXNP
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Y9v5uoVr
'' Rain take it up to her.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjYQjQ6BY4
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cgESidLf0
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6zGBEa0A
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDTAtdqAOp
'' What's wrong?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQCVuudIgs
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRZPqFq5Qr
'' Just asking. Christ.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs4z2yMt8B
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNruIVZVEf
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon7ncx3DDU
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4im9SoIFRR
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKEIfnEeii
'' Finnick. He loves you.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHFB5R98uM
'' He does?'' I am thick.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z5pIYOrDF
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUqXCFkgUC
'' So you love him?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoje0o59xA
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB920S0OkD
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCxVAaAUqu
'' Here's your dinner.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZTReTgk2N
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZo41pX2eh
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJUdEuoeoP
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVPCN3v3ny
'' Thanks.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiyfmAFkCT
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiCwwh1Uwq
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJflyS9BocZ
I make my way to the Training Gym.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3hviE5YYI
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA0v7wM8qi
'' Hey.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyayUIq3kPf
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMiBiBfoAe
'' I can't-''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sP6XWDK53
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EdAzW1CgQ
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSADbbVNqjn
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqQuwOqayw
'' You're a natural.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAarbJodmE
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4feHrpDeQX
'' Perfect.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvnsZUgq5P
'' Can I work on swords?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWip7KBR8Pe
'' 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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTt2BUsf9j
'' Archery?'' He laughed.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLOBeNvveA
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaTKiEm9Nb
'' Okay.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB5RDGM6WV
Finnick looked at me.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9HdKW1gsf
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMqLxIpTSd
'' How?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fOa7sRTyO
'' Sponsors.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYXxbItdYV
'' Why?''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPITBgB1at
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefJ3qQwiK5
He decided against it.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z346fMAsL
'' I-'' He left me standing there.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVAeOcuqdF
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrVDvmu1Ee
'' I'm coming with you.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LO9QUoDuR
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0NZfCbJ2o
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWQkAlG5ml
'' Great Training today Rain.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt78CX21Bx
'' Thanks to you.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZxGYMi9wl
'' Nah. It's all you.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWhogSKXX6
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihAqpcoseZ
'' Goodnight Finnick.''19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07YxOXk67R
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFNJ43CO1z
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjRvJhI8KW
