I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYDKegAXGZ
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHHY6M8j4P
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjIp6eIjhv
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV44uEw2gvh
'' Why am I here?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPyqNsWkch
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemTi3BbgFJ
'' Sleep well?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi7Jjlz7ry
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqGBWPKikO
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVvHIcy27G
'' So Training Day.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8mabqJeEt
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIQgbhOEPv
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaelJyTeXE
'' I want to promise you two things.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5SYRODCxr
'' What things?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsPdJjVXgT
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL4o1DIC2l
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4I4hy9D1i
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uYqNqcZm3
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk1DzpjCZA
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyiciHpYPp
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb0oBwy1Z8
2-1. I think. We both won that.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wRyk7smDK
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR9whnrdcj
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzcmrKymuK
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3zNTsndRe
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRGQlck7Jl
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHvyXzhcc7
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgH8udn6zz
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUol6jrWi78
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAsNeGwl1z
'' 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?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIN9l7yDjD
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOIlOuL9Wc
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25pKVpBVC8
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVfMUIfROp
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQWjLsYMqm
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUeaeSry36
'' I'll keep her occupied.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRziVt8X2eC
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbnbqJvpbK
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIEEyQQm4s
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusuTF9XxPk
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70EWlkEyl0
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTClYTfKh
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFTQUNmwut
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP2HyJxKxz
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFeCAvX5eV
'' It was.'' I shrugged.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiKFhCzdTm
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tKHzFFAnG
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YiDeDghhZ
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIjdosdJ4A
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTrnVYTAMt
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtPFVjr3zO
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE57AKvQvIw
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB59YY2f6Rv
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWdsCLPAb5
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQtGmwtB1b
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2sEgKxn5N
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBQdW6Uzw2
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkfoQnDyDo
'' 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.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF2M1vdUur
I smiled and stared at the opening door.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKb3BgYab
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum9DaUz397
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyReIfRg0FG
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUosler1gi8
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewvghCSnE
'' Hi Bay.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyL55C5jii
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ676BjX72pa
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7AgrEpBBY
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrovSYglddv
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2AcByqLdv
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDeMQGmKY
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FDcSBIRMs
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjDytkSANR
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbIffL1ibW
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiG6gYi9XW
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdes3xk2J7A
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1S8bT7LG6
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlZh20yniY
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVqpkYoxJ4
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFvK9K8TVc
'' Good.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta1zgMKxug
He raised his eyebrows.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Akf64rUiA
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKffdf8pV6
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB6YDH9mVm
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjeBZT58Km
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlfGrROzI6
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryiuAJvdUu
'' Good and you Bay?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGktncnnJTP
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSbkgzOaF6
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaGHu2qOm0
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR0PGkmA8M
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXXnhcFtsb
'' Still not a natural.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO49NsNnyT
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uw24ZV7ru
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgREhGvFC14
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIGg39Keau
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQyTrjzPpx
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsqw8RTyv6
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8q171eHaZ
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bMgX4osw2
'' Rain take it up to her.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDa22hhQf3
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfh34Ldos0
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTWdqPVI9Y
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczxUiUkzhi
'' What's wrong?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpfPfpK1MA
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz9s1iOghA
'' Just asking. Christ.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL8Wi5ykFn
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl8dK391XO
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdSS2FbHMS
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHlwe2Zjur
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoAxJ2npKd
'' Finnick. He loves you.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjJkghJu65
'' He does?'' I am thick.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnD77WIfd6
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPmVqMx2V9
'' So you love him?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx4Ro3vMMI
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVcpKiJQMb
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44sf54rE13
'' Here's your dinner.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyKvQd9HzJ
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Go5Kv4cF2
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHa68tw39d
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvy5GfIyYT
'' Thanks.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFPHm35I3F
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOTefeSxaT
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshaRZu72n
I make my way to the Training Gym.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Xnr6qT9G
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjQPgDID0Z
'' Hey.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4xLThvWT9
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSABzhfSZl
'' I can't-''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Kx9Gz03Q
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFCRTEsg4u
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHSPp4u1AF
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSu4R9scC
'' You're a natural.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPfKFzQwlS
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRQZGhd98a
'' Perfect.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQjeJhhcyq
'' Can I work on swords?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwCLJfyMrf
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFlACCv75t
'' Archery?'' He laughed.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B38yvQvFz
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4HOWlH9Jh
'' Okay.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRBzoukzoE
Finnick looked at me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC3YqIOPxm
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR8CSBJ2om
'' How?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGxXoYUFFU
'' Sponsors.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6DC28nkF0
'' Why?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wHeSwOpku
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v4gYmi095
He decided against it.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSa0oyklap
'' I-'' He left me standing there.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf53iQIsiLr
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvcPztgy3q
'' I'm coming with you.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTaiZPoF3Z
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDJUcSdbKG
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAs58h2pzh
'' Great Training today Rain.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOq0yIIV4y
'' Thanks to you.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcmCB7r25s
'' Nah. It's all you.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuObXZbcvi8
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qqNtdY9RP
'' Goodnight Finnick.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY71SbObk0
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LXczVzqf2
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlpzwVhYDF
