I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhLZiyX4hD
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYU6LCX0VM
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFBNnqVPzT
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH2mJRIO9k
'' Why am I here?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4yZaOemgF
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X0mB80Oqe
'' Sleep well?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwmxiulBHb
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLOYyF5ak
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuUzI9fhNO
'' So Training Day.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3jigT4ls1
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyfWCfqxjL
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGOqp2RhtL
'' I want to promise you two things.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jaYJQlnZR
'' What things?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qUdmI7jAt
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3d312Rzbm
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3jIaTYJad
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs5ttJvLaS
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61101ma9Mm
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUho2jUJBL
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkfBdjqRi8
2-1. I think. We both won that.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBjS0yMhBt
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXnTKVUZ6
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANiZnsGMwD
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fZE2M3K9p
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgBhHYK6oX
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDU6rrxODM
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dXibYwDdn
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyspj43YqCF
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFEYPXudzy
'' 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?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMLfax21E
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOjc7tPyxD
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xoFdmSrdN
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0DELZvmk9
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W8qWgtRHV
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESQ0Oom8bf
'' I'll keep her occupied.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3EMuTRuYU
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1UtHswjEp
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSuo30ECJb
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUeRs9WQEc
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FtUxrMbEY
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5szbS8Rh2q
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhWcStqi51
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7yquN7uAA
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvTQcnm44W
'' It was.'' I shrugged.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvvhKquTrF
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eev6zhZss
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZwaqvyki7
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMr3i77Q11
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0HhsaL0KH
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYV6z9R5QU
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmuj8j8lPL
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnpJoTBZmg
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV9x3qzMUA
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwND5sYK60
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XVSqxNbOg
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXAS19dHDY
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT4pKm9v6d
'' 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.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNJwZadjCv
I smiled and stared at the opening door.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwtIBSBPu8
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp42QnbY6V
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbI6klLisU
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClzZXxmjUt
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pdTsddYiz
'' Hi Bay.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcm3nXKKAt
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIInezL0FFi
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZqVksgc6S
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w8YjLvMmZ
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6t3RpISM0
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDIiVJEGLl
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECrrovhxNp
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeBU0tbp0u
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqs8LELhQv
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoqMNfue0a
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZvALGPElC
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpyG3h2mXD
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhJMIxFMqe
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwdzmb3HJT
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97mQsieeYj
'' Good.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR20szMFygi
He raised his eyebrows.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sAAZKBvLO
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdUDc3DUUe
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88URG7i98s
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo9fToz2dA
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy8i2g1Pe1
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMStKZtNYL
'' Good and you Bay?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovlVE5fIkX
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP3aA2TuzR
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53CaKDVmxy
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdGK4J5r9L
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvbUevdXH
'' Still not a natural.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kLFvvUWlo
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvzGwI7uzb
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ELetFmp8
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTvRfmsn7z
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAccPs2Kyme
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkIZy8fmIx
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnEMDIIqg9
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLAJRErtwT
'' Rain take it up to her.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9w99TD1L5
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPM1Tsk13y
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJa7KHAR6w
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcU237OQsN
'' What's wrong?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9kZSEoaKp
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VDUfufrZI
'' Just asking. Christ.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwPQj1wszL
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ZbTtvO2y
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUyjJ3YzDO
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgyOCWQZkX
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n93lzedGo
'' Finnick. He loves you.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsMTyU0Snd
'' He does?'' I am thick.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpERHj7Phy8
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2s99Yw8jh
'' So you love him?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCN6xrfvPF
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAiFxEmXkS
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgi2CAHlF
'' Here's your dinner.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe2md48ruq
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0oWDX0Kcz
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0gJ2Z8lpr
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui73Fm6esx
'' Thanks.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOQKx0k8Tu
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DVJQAtKqK
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgCqz3GqfL
I make my way to the Training Gym.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlsJRbnFl4
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8jzoF8RlM
'' Hey.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuelPb9kuO
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOK35RJL0f
'' I can't-''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lJmSilNwV
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSMkP1hHrn
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuyMGI7OBx
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoi58Xk3jz
'' You're a natural.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnif5Vb6H6
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC71Bf6u0t
'' Perfect.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4UsAFEYw
'' Can I work on swords?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xGXjkuPGB
'' 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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLzV3GgmcG
'' Archery?'' He laughed.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqP1V1qZG
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaCYPziav0
'' Okay.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIEuOHBVuI
Finnick looked at me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wE8uQtThI
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmmXsOzVph
'' How?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR21h7IG5xB
'' Sponsors.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLAoAWYgrI
'' Why?''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFgrJowIsT
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEq4uXBBxF
He decided against it.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTYhKjDBzh
'' I-'' He left me standing there.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjgBMI4Jq8
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvQsoW367u
'' I'm coming with you.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi9OnuBZPj
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuaT6yXiVb
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6MGZDQurS
'' Great Training today Rain.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv4XfBgpIu
'' Thanks to you.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDIeBiE98I
'' Nah. It's all you.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI699mW78z
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfUeRsnCDz
'' Goodnight Finnick.''555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VCYjIjQ2Z
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAa2yuyOxX
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzqiObi4AK
