I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwrWzUb3K1
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Ixlm44PJ
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6p7tEml2z
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vhb6Sz1Rp
'' Why am I here?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kAmKn7Xch
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1LC9VlORM
'' Sleep well?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ4XcZqReS
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmGW3yLkYO
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahXoj7rkkZ
'' So Training Day.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZL6EEXPcG
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl5zZSc5yw
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WiLJ37Rb3
'' I want to promise you two things.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPszm2jvmH
'' What things?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHBFzV5B9
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrsNSG9EzK
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveeP3XXYWb
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUoBgaInFA
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmii0GSJlAk
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfcvbEOlA
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloMXhij7lT
2-1. I think. We both won that.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s3plRDSue
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFKyA6h1Wb
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt30EDlw6iA
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudsi7uKHlT
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwP6PgY8eQ
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHA5wHzDPv
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijKFyHsi7Z
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnsVbSHCQ4
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA8AAHyDu9
'' 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?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMhmTUk6I5
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGlLkTVtK0
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7KZy2dgYo
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlLvlz27Nm
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOHlEghOgK
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOLGLZKp5I
'' I'll keep her occupied.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxusDz4L6E
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqaFWJr9qz
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjC5zq3gep
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE4vp1eXoa
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyPGyhkrD5
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EWzK5Fsni
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVxzdWqUXG
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur0a5r0HS3
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSDqsFTVa5
'' It was.'' I shrugged.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIfdmSVtic
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn6STLqAYu
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHJtkKAPf
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYdCxG1wHB
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhANeo1Zx11
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGdWidg46F
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zooqDKzoc
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo6iuynLkD
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7fyiQBV8B
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr9R3yQExt
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq5G2Y2I4U
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10RGlA7JjZ
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWDqy1jIA8
'' 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.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu70wY9nn4
I smiled and stared at the opening door.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HdFiPxUOM
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpOqnQyHps
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBI6nPiJ1l
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXOt91kmKu
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQhQ6ZxcE
'' Hi Bay.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1t6qDAVGW
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk5JcjzmkV
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SB8Y5UR7k
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i5X1aiQsg
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf3PYPwr49
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLul9aY2MC
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i2EF0bnwe
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebNRP5IwaN
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjOB9dDV57
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgK5ollahQ
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QvRpNmnVB
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEri3GojCi
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRNFGjvyYx
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnIcXGEKNn
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWx2gfrxqq
'' Good.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAcyPUdRXB
He raised his eyebrows.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8pyuax01Y
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5wSYOQP3t
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiVaAd2rPE
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJRan9jKb5
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoa94SlESC
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bKb2iHqYl
'' Good and you Bay?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjeWfg8i2g
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5L2hnNlS6
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQro7FENTm5
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrslQpwOs6
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vneanddbF
'' Still not a natural.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QlWCFZ0WT
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ReUU4G3ag
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaEwHx9KR7
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTaM0t1WHC
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxL6GsbVyn
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJjQGkx1Oj
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vzYt82zwz
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8rLPGcVng
'' Rain take it up to her.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqqxGdC5p2
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisIjtiWk7m
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwqhlutI8T
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4daRtgxRgn
'' What's wrong?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T1sEyTkGr
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjE9tA0Abu
'' Just asking. Christ.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4TyLfuqDU
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrqNDLxeyW
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMGuHIDAzY
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq1sh2bRmb
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAvLQ6pcub
'' Finnick. He loves you.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSUWQ8tF1v
'' He does?'' I am thick.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7HEX2bAtW
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgar9fV2j3H
'' So you love him?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj8zk01oSA
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda6JtzV9m9
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91e4Q3k4sN
'' Here's your dinner.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcVeDWoVxA
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcroyiLHuCC
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk54wJqdW8
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YH6B9wffq
'' Thanks.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrx5GQLwoz
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgBInZqLgQ
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYRdpEXjzZ
I make my way to the Training Gym.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3dumA7Ip3
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftpLJpr5kw
'' Hey.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHpgojaUx7
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdub3GGTaV
'' I can't-''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydFnwLrqmk
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWuqWs00cB
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hgrxHM3xh
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoBOVBD7jt
'' You're a natural.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4asHTw3oo
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66cBcsZ0ZL
'' Perfect.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UShDdsP4s
'' Can I work on swords?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI9ouiuYDt
'' 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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdn8mjWI03
'' Archery?'' He laughed.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB7cxnfXju
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqtFUoDXS4
'' Okay.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizwrgjjCev
Finnick looked at me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYek2zGMdZQ
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QF3BrOkfX
'' How?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb8emTN2jV
'' Sponsors.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XOaB9dUVY
'' Why?''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1SRqzcnY0
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPumM2NenF
He decided against it.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPWNiFJpqr
'' I-'' He left me standing there.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMTvVyV5k3
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBEmKFu8wD
'' I'm coming with you.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyahr0shJO
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgGs3jImqs
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePxafXRXfw
'' Great Training today Rain.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7pKq9W5xo
'' Thanks to you.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjopxWPtIq
'' Nah. It's all you.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPkOO7Azma
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wz8fh22j2
'' Goodnight Finnick.''466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcfWckoa7W
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbT6HBcAWw
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw9Fqd6Wha
