I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTy2ZgbANR
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPmNasJSSR
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7DnYzVQpJ
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4afl1CSWZ
'' Why am I here?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXnx1b8UhO
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYupn3TSvW
'' Sleep well?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKKR9TLYJR
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36IALxeEA3
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rOPcIsBU6
'' So Training Day.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTni24oXP7
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Awh2WQpL
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVWoCiL9Vi
'' I want to promise you two things.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R8Zzf7mVo
'' What things?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWORapZf0D
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNok1vvs3T
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtizWPFoUT
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2NU5jC6Os
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yyrWWSCil
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKyeLrumjS
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSCfUNTq91
2-1. I think. We both won that.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DNI45ZQ4y
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7dBmemQm9
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJWUScpupc
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Run3NOvXb
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbGHDemdXp
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gf5hVjNsl
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5kPgCXAaW
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyhtVeQ8Wv
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfrcDALGPA
'' 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?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ525yCOH2
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqZ17bNeqK
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvy7dkvCT
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKMiKi14a
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ly2QUjKsY
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PS1yBXdvq
'' I'll keep her occupied.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrBNMhgSQa
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xmV3zNAZn
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhKTguJMxr
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiYOg7MX0t
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkF6AHLciV
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRVYT0IVUF
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xyQyn2Vlj
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QVADVjnYe
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRDzH9LJlg
'' It was.'' I shrugged.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14hzSZEEVN
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dctINcLtt
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3rd9bTnLN
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb2WW7ftAI
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMskUF1KPl
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZVe4sqCdF
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEE4hQTXG2
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiFnK7JJ27
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc1bF9lwdR
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT8NU5hheR
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzW7q3w3Cf
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqHKTi8rkm
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFz9AcndX
'' 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.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbRf5ZmuGe
I smiled and stared at the opening door.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIEMsmPZP0
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7KICTFRnP
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3vJAMxCgB
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceAfRbR6vA
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qn89fuCq4
'' Hi Bay.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvFmhMIoPX
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Gamm0bLL
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzmtTiiwyI
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI9c10L1Xy
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl0Jsut8fo
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GqvrHYtD3
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJd2gMg2ik
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4yTGWx57u
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrDt54rU54
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW2EvdQ8mX
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hEZljFg2V
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNyEQvzrZT
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYchYszahuO
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ywL4Qv6N1
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4BoBMmJT6
'' Good.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtBekjzQMR
He raised his eyebrows.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx88GUIIdWe
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSEyBMWzez
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8MPkGE5cQ
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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7GhHhSA9X
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIMysnf551
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKSCnci0eL
'' Good and you Bay?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWi6B2b2fy
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSvMuU4biN
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1y4hZzWhn
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjQr1ih2ds
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Txt71KV3
'' Still not a natural.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zz4iJYOay
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7GELahWdU
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzWHTffrRN
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QGw6Zpz7w
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HY2nazX4V
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eglyXeini
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtwPVLAxo6
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2nO0xzYlE
'' Rain take it up to her.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk3rZTaMm4
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayIIics9MD
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RoDSyxDlu
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG241HbAwPF
'' What's wrong?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XDzpcoSRr
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0CazfOPxa
'' Just asking. Christ.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXZ94FeEBF
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszDakm0rOi
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmRJ72rsV0
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU5XKDEsck
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzv7MZoGNs
'' Finnick. He loves you.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAN393r0Vh
'' He does?'' I am thick.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEJTrf4qjt
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz5IjEcMo5
'' So you love him?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxz7hTG9kk
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0mbcPdaC
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglQbZAI3ET
'' Here's your dinner.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArkUfkNpgH
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLgjWxeBJ2
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu96vunlI49
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSvZ5kUb7u
'' Thanks.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRjJRQNpyC
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2sxHxeAGL
494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIXuK3Wvf
I make my way to the Training Gym.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8C1CXcm1L
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMtQxFWIzL
'' Hey.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbwfO8WBbX
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnqRtDPbgC
'' I can't-''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD3Bt2HiET
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WpDUVobxD
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6QlKmlyFh
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRgIXr2JBU
'' You're a natural.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKrLojaQpr
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkOM68ikBo
'' Perfect.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyAM5VpPaX
'' Can I work on swords?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJFkqZyh9h
'' 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.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEfBX6BCwt
'' Archery?'' He laughed.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcojXL89pSp
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj2N6BkQDh
'' Okay.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHVYuCSjWt
Finnick looked at me.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYWgZ2K0K0
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABCwnWWNx
'' How?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tEPv2J7Y
'' Sponsors.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR5sGaMA7s
'' Why?''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gK2BmY6Cq
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fuUhPui4d
He decided against it.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKWILTtD9w
'' I-'' He left me standing there.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZH3WMMfMu
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VS7bzJR6S
'' I'm coming with you.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1nNlicSUO
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTdWSAHsao
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwftjvAYWIs
'' Great Training today Rain.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqnZ4zhZAH
'' Thanks to you.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuToatKvv4f
'' Nah. It's all you.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRDYnhBAfj
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cZq0yb2pL
'' Goodnight Finnick.''494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN4APz1IOk
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgej5496zh
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.494Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN7v9pqXer
