I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRm1tiFtAO
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ALtrVE9n3
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBX3rTA4hn
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN05vPe3iS
'' Why am I here?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjbuisOr2o
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmjcv0yC7A
'' Sleep well?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrpt0CVkM3
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmIdOJObxE
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOjnd4AGke
'' So Training Day.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdvNFZRza6
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1raGRxqynL
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTH5MZrgPa
'' I want to promise you two things.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeYmxdeBkA
'' What things?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnvwLEjAGC
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbXroZlK90
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTInny205IO
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EtyTW1Pas
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLEzdtDysr
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAoG9eWaGt
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKw3AmqYHw
2-1. I think. We both won that.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKli05PU8m0
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp0bfVRw49
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNtltf471i
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZhOa0gjb2
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHiUYWMD5D
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAUzKUNp1O
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOopgGv7an
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU2Bl56kdr
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGG92s1TxQ
'' 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?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsU2iloyZq
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrSdsS47NH
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9g3d7ZhTN
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWoWDoN5DG
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFzRJdGqXJ
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpUYgLUrbW
'' I'll keep her occupied.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnsoQgKjr8
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwmaoj7jJC
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M0MvKC2uH
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmNboZxymB
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUJ8umFzyk
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchzF1j6IjV
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iy5Pivy7Q
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4awcCpwWmZ
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mKGHZiI6U
'' It was.'' I shrugged.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKQ0kVRuJl
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXbJtunx8
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NuZqU7OT6
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKpdvLJFaS
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO0Shf9D21
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6k8DyrPBu
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX24niX96H
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqeJuTVnq
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoKsNoZvls
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtavlESoK1w
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFjj7dJO3o
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLwVLvGyhY
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb42VBFKFa
'' 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.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM6JOKMnFn
I smiled and stared at the opening door.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn5fQDZumy
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuNTJuDa6p
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rx9Oj0ls6
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qMwa8nODM
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKlYii9CnP
'' Hi Bay.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuR7N043C9
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QoA7lmqOY
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUH8Q9x6rT
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45pTa63QRD
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjfpwkflWr
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AK44nSprl
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodoa6SPUVt
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmewk1Fwj1
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEkq2nJABe
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwnnul1oVp
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOlb84IYIL
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHe8njNscd
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhqRzuih4P
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGRNUzSBMJ
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3imaEuRbx
'' Good.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5gC5AVwOm
He raised his eyebrows.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq32BVuqLQ
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxP9NtqgNR
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX9VXn3ong
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkQ3sXfI7z
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ1pEPBg4G
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcCgLfQH9M
'' Good and you Bay?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86xLjqYoHt
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadAAOa0jOW
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9EV0yPasW
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VQowfgOO4
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbb978azNT
'' Still not a natural.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40OApYbrEv
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4osEUzA0t
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4MObRrAdq
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0tM50mJY8
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSERzSRF1lo
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhmRDHY1v6
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK2dt3gVgQ
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDagxtndGE
'' Rain take it up to her.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJV8yFPMSr
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN4385qtHk
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbuuGPc0il
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZEd4acZei
'' What's wrong?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjroBh3flft
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Gb6oFQJZ
'' Just asking. Christ.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kNbhYzARE
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEmXySdHx8
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP82lv0Ssh
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlivxWxgqW2
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq8pZ4okdk
'' Finnick. He loves you.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTJHU2vSLi
'' He does?'' I am thick.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m6VvDj64U
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16pJBGDhsT
'' So you love him?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dHdobFABf
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME0qdBkYPA
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitLyyC4XCK
'' Here's your dinner.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6vh4objbY
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDIeUtbA8U
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuUwtcVn5C
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI06kEmU9QP
'' Thanks.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrcHoh0qJH
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXPpzTDyze
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1drg6V41Y
I make my way to the Training Gym.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpliecFMk
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8WyUhuGM1
'' Hey.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQXfRceHnh
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByNipaRwI3
'' I can't-''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Fl0AR5IL
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tchObWgnB
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRTLBw1OAJ
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfYRMMyFrK
'' You're a natural.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdvsPCP1Bi
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LTKy2wqJZ
'' Perfect.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmREtOlkfqE
'' Can I work on swords?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb88dFvKzC
'' 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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3DGd0AUdr
'' Archery?'' He laughed.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyBkRRSCbJ
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojNgqDwIVQ
'' Okay.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3kqW5Vpbk
Finnick looked at me.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx4cgx20wb
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIsrHmwJx7
'' How?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgKx68Dt49
'' Sponsors.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlLxi5L5ZF
'' Why?''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDng4e3F5K1
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpvsPlc9Hi
He decided against it.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitBBm5EEbj
'' I-'' He left me standing there.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VHJv0yaVl
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZJcmNhJ2R
'' I'm coming with you.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae7Fq5vcaF
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx89JQIVk1s
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY82CMQh0J
'' Great Training today Rain.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgVY5QLT0J
'' Thanks to you.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbosmh0h0Qi
'' Nah. It's all you.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxThklZgOq
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYQhRMzyOY
'' Goodnight Finnick.''230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuyi9pJjTV
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeippljRruS
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Qba81DN4
