"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.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeegeiGK7zs
"Hello," said Lilac, the other tribute, "I'm Lilac."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV67gMJC1d
"I know, I saw you getting reaped."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWle5fPvJPU
"I know you did, I'm just giving you a formal introduction."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvTSpoRfQ2
"Well, in that case, I'm Maisie."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDTzfFJwYf
"Wait! Where's Anika?" Blurted Asher.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoh3bcB19J
"What? She's in the dining room," Lilac explained.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjeWgYPvmz
"Why?" Both Asher and I asked.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz1eDtzJAQ
"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."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uJflGa4dA
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.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPw0AyOSxx
"Um, thank you, but no. But I might take you up on that offer later."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwaEUFb0d9
I watched as he and Anika left the room, leaving me to sit down and eat.
"Are you OK Maisie?" It was Asher.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjptGEWEdn
"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."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESsjAnvkxt
"Oh...," 716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuxLd578fm
"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."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlrM0a6mpw
"Yeah, she's fine. She's kind of in her own world."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO0dFdCRSI
"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 room716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzPcawoWHs
"Oh, Hi Lilac," I replied.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfAV8AneIY
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
