I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGXwJ9OmeT
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhTfw7D6z3
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfqqsmT4TX
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVv3tvxwzt
'' Why am I here?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AvMKnCOYD
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHISf14c2eq
'' Sleep well?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N2UJOg4zq
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVI0r56iuZ
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVOvaURQmI
'' So Training Day.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcKLQaHZYr
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj93Ja2XZKY
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe3rKswxr4
'' I want to promise you two things.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzjcicRmsg
'' What things?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHDMRuY2uy
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61yUpgD37D
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksx7WYQA6x
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp5x8DpHdn
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYtj1B5Rvc
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf89b4rTFW
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMNjhrqwpc
2-1. I think. We both won that.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0VQtQGwr
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgNmUZ3XtM
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp14AamYyaa
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXzzjpCNTC
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEpLWWp7HZ
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT8y7XtZwT
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPy1mGLVoE
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ04bTh3UEu
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pzEsWZS36
'' 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?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNY7RBr7Oj
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZajF7WOLM
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG0iGTzFpT
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Cpoi7rDC
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHrxbQ4dqu
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1veVswr6U
'' I'll keep her occupied.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTWW387u96
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHXjbMV2FW
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajtuRCq2j5
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexam5ec432
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3drKLZN646
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZjOlKgxdS
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1aaUyYpRw
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqWKJArjbK
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUQj0SUItu
'' It was.'' I shrugged.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBUy1OZwym
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWI7iOWqqn
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZQBLBXI7T
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktQMjcian6
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBFnu9Sodz
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwgNon9sg
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6joKMxv9cr
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQVAPUDIk4
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgc0HbpAMl
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYGwd7etYh
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiz2gYOmu3
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVbdupMoSf
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtCXtxAzlo
'' 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.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1qU7CDxMD
I smiled and stared at the opening door.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJh3JGeTiO
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDNcW6O3T2
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcuOTcxGGw
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6gE9cvDMz
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrLoMgHiGF
'' Hi Bay.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LZF15ZphL
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn09aUB7z2
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rdEMXkJnH
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sxNFu7j9Z
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysfeb2rDYS
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDd980JOyP
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWuNL9tsOm
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Izbwcn73
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o9lOaq4UG
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBOPxIGXFv
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOqocsI9xN
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Vb54D9Az
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3gaagc1j8
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6krVyaOnt
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmqAN2NJMd
'' Good.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSw9lZ7hbG
He raised his eyebrows.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64IXJ6HfMD
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5favNPl4E
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ma8xCSys2
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSk7KRymMo
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORjkKaJ1gM
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXklO4ZlYYb
'' Good and you Bay?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnsfB7YtX6
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKwnbZtym1
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGuEuT8d0G
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIExAgk3KC
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH9qKW9EKr
'' Still not a natural.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvxpVG7PWJ
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2EbUwHNR5
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL1fdZrFlv
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWvtVUPyuI
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTiZpo6nPU
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdyVwd6BfJ
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY5eP3eLjn
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2X5R0HT4c
'' Rain take it up to her.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUDHyDsDVg
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oWGNmYL08
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFbtUzO122
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mA8vqj380
'' What's wrong?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDsptlwmtM
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfMAg8GU24
'' Just asking. Christ.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DGpErZRQW
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84XoXG69Ra
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bVi2t9Wlx
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ593IL4Xo9M
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTJVMeDJhX
'' Finnick. He loves you.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMGwWUpkR
'' He does?'' I am thick.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVHzQUIYpX
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFjvmPKgKQ
'' So you love him?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Xxjphaoq
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9rt0zxWQd
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf1tT4p7XR
'' Here's your dinner.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ZdIhYRhn
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4nrFmmZX6
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwCoN8anrj
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlW2gibYEd
'' Thanks.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqrzOb5qpj
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfzT7bYO2A
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv7O6ZpQVB
I make my way to the Training Gym.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNfkdQCB0
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELToRhxAIL
'' Hey.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzemAOGBG9X
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uIPOpeJSa
'' I can't-''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkowt5Fok1
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRwqtXu2K0
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasNCskgnvE
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35j1h7j1ZT
'' You're a natural.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJpwN90aWD
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oznXRpmEg
'' Perfect.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagUPxOgjBA
'' Can I work on swords?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMLfCS6sAH
'' 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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uMNZFEFNW
'' Archery?'' He laughed.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKKUuONRCM
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1szPORDwDp
'' Okay.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGakOkUjmuN
Finnick looked at me.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuslWeRGSLQ
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNRBcNNZGs
'' How?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVztmjhYcU
'' Sponsors.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBINGgxZ5vj
'' Why?''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUDhFZnemH
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1NFw58xqA
He decided against it.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q47hq7O8q
'' I-'' He left me standing there.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsZixMZJbq
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk89U8rsci
'' I'm coming with you.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR1t0WobXn
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKSfxGjGxa
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlswA9BZWU
'' Great Training today Rain.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpmmN9Cddu
'' Thanks to you.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgViCLYlD39
'' Nah. It's all you.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKwOiUpYyy
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYPi8CIMZr
'' Goodnight Finnick.''533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91E7kU0Yqr
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxL752o9pd
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrGw6y272g
