"Hello!" The voice rang out from the depths of the train car. Then the face emerged. I recognized him as Asher Knight, winner of the 54th annual Hunger Games.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2BPSM8Dx2
"Hello," said Lilac, the other tribute, "I'm Lilac."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdZ7wyxjUy
"I know, I saw you getting reaped."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJD8RBGziR
"I know you did, I'm just giving you a formal introduction."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwK1wpjxCU
"Well, in that case, I'm Maisie."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYls9bi1Yph
"Wait! Where's Anika?" Blurted Asher.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLTgbfAbju
"What? She's in the dining room," Lilac explained.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctgjXg6mbz
"Why?" Both Asher and I asked.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7AzweYrdw
"How do I know?" And that concluded to conversation. Lilac retreated to her room in the train, and I moved to the dining car to get lunch, where Anika and Anton Duval, winner of the 48th Hunger Games. were talking. Oh, did I mention that Anika and Anton like each other. A lot.
As I was grabbing a roll from the table, Anton asked me, "Are you in here for tips for the Games? Because I have lots."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdXDUtkfns
Sure, I'd love tips, but he won the games by hiding in a cave, setting traps and waiting until almost everyone was dead. Then he came out with all the weapons from his victims, and brutally murdered the last few. No offense to him, but that isn't my style. It's gruesome. Plus, the hiding wouldn't work now, the game makers are too smart. They learned from his win, that they should just start a fire in the cave, or have it collapse, so that they get more encounters.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMksNsaA3Y
"Um, thank you, but no. But I might take you up on that offer later."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9e4Z3cF4A
I watched as he and Anika left the room, leaving me to sit down and eat.
"Are you OK Maisie?" It was Asher.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1eThTO090
"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just thinking about my younger brother. I don't know how he'll handle this. My older sister and my mother can, but he's twelve, and I'm the person he goes to when he needs help."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J8l7yJNVY
"Oh...," 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3RVQOvaGL
"It's okay, I'm not expecting any sentimentality. Is Lilac okay, I think you're the only one who would check. Anton doesn't seem like the type."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0JdTXqgDs
"Yeah, she's fine. She's kind of in her own world."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nFdikBzQt
"Well, Glad she's ok." I said, standing up, heading the back of the train, and looked out the windows, seeing the city approch.
"Hi Maisie." It was Lilac, walking into the room736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lsh02tW9h
"Oh, Hi Lilac," I replied.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw44EgF6bn2
We talked until the train stopped. We hadn't seen each other anywhere in the district, but we got to know each other so well in those twenty minutes
