I got up from my bed... wait this isn't my bedroom. It's Finnicks!490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebaUkb41kx
I jolted out of his bed. Finnick stared at me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFNP97pMRS
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQMoeLUtRG
He is so beautiful I can't tear my eyes away.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH10jckc7Z2
'' Why am I here?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV6zCFN6XR
'' You fell asleep in here. I carried you to the bed.'' I can't believe it. Finnick Odair actually touched me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqxs51V5y8
'' Sleep well?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2nsRObZI3
'' Yeah.'' I yawned and moved my hair away from my face. '' Where did you sleep?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDpLJLgH9E
'' The couch. It was surprisingly comfortable.'' He smirked. I walked over to him.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDvtzR78a5
'' So Training Day.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyR7wXXo1e
'' Yeah.'' He looks at me. '' It's 8, so you have 2 hours to get ready.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcnkVJj98Y
'' I'll get ready then.'' I strolled to the door. '' See you at breakfast.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghicjy23eA
'' I want to promise you two things.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WrAJQbAw4
'' What things?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQyGPGGnd
'' To train you well. And to keep you alive.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXGX8KyHBP
'' Say I promise.'' I tease.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvTxz2Qrs
'' I promise.'' He laughed. I made my way out of the bedroom and into mine. Not while bumping into Arausio though.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGbwl4U22g
'' Well, well, well. How is the new boyfriend, hmm?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsUtERaTOj
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57kcdO7RI
'' Well, well. We'll see about that won't we.'' She walked off with a flick of her hair.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd03dKaHoAJ
2-1. I think. We both won that.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBpe9aBUOl
She won that because she said we'll see about that. She is up to something.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fkRjvVqLF
Once I'm in my room, I have a shower and get ready.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDPTw8mc1
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUnuVeQWZ1
I hate the number 4. Nothing to do with my District. It just sounds so depressing. Which is why I also like it.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm9v6XN2eQ
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJlSkP5uMP
'' Now. Training is here, we need to get down to the Gym at 10.'' Valora looked at Finnick.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdkuDYJuyS
'' Any sign of Laurette?'' Carter asks.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYzTfBiNGC
'' No. So is it just me then?'' Finnick smiled.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DK5deAdJF
'' 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?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnSNSatJCE
'' Okay.'' I stand up and dodge an avox.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHMNzLNzM0
'' Alright.'' Bay stands next to me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUHzwF346r
'' Eager beavers.'' Finnick put his arm around my shoulders.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGJTOFPFR0
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmlxjPnkt
'' What about Arausio?'' Sneaky girl.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBqX1Vly58
'' I'll keep her occupied.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoxVdxg12A
'' Yeah right.'' I smirked.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGyesLpnbe
'' You don't know my skills Wolfe.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UyaLVTQEE
'' Okay Odair. I bet you 10 coins you won't.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu47p6Mq29h
'' Alright we have something here. You're on.'' We shake hands. Then I see Laurette running towards us.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32sH2B4FXR
'' Hey Bay.'' She said and she grasps his hand. He still holds onto it when Laurette winked at me. She smiled wickedly.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFg3ryhxOI
Like that's gonna bother me. I wouldn't want her in the family though so... Who cares?490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiOgSd2KJc
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRwMuJLPFb
'' That would also be funny.'' Finnick silently said to me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbLbx1Q7CK
'' It was.'' I shrugged.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwocyRusO9
'' Madly in love with him.'' I laughed.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74f9DZR4YB
'' Yeah.'' We were at the lift now. People were already in it though. District 2.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P4lQM8LCI
'' Hiya fellow Careers. How are you?'' The girl says politely.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS4Jzkx2yB
'' Uhhh... I don't think they'll be Careers this time.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoT0A1K1Xz
'' Well why ever not?'' The boy asks mockingly.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWbEumU3i
'' They can't fight.'' Finnick whispered to them.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmrA7oUJDS
'' Ohh... Shame.'' He faked frowned. '' We could've had some extra careers.'' He put his hand on Bay's head. '' This one looks strong.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fJweZn7RC
'' Leave him alone! Gay.'' Laurette snapped.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJqzN3cgs
'' Whatever. He is a cutie though.'' And the doors shut upon us.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGsVGPfdh3
'' Well, well they were lovely weren't they?'' I said sarcastically. Finnick laughed. I smiled.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuw9nrBsJy
'' Leave me alone Laurette.'' Bay shrugged Laurette off him. She looked hurt.Shame for her.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkrCZgUJJ4
The elevator comes back up and opens to nobody. We squeeze in and the door shuts.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSGnuyBkND
'' 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.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlM2Y1Uz7h
I smiled and stared at the opening door.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI5Y18gnYe
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyI4RLUpom
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZALyHOa8TD
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJfjtHcDun
I see Bay by the Snare section so I travel there.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2YghLem5t
'' Hi Bay.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IjHyWHaTK
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfawWiSIOj6
'' I think we have found a natural.'' The Expert says.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtkFCKXKbQ
More Tributes come now. And now I see a really young girl about 12. She is from District 7.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAoZ9QCoXy
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHIVurJtsj
I look at Bay. He stares at my snare.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VfSU2DAYh
'' Rain could you help me do that snare?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO8QJZfaKV
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKCvGbAUq
'' So what do you think of these Tributes?'' He asked.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5IncO9bM5
'' Well, District 2 looks like they are hiding something and that District 7 girl is vicious.'' He laughed.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFcfjpDLpb
'' Yeah shall I make allies?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVADNpejEc
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeF4ERGY5J
Shall I make allies? Maybe not. I can't trust them. I glance at the District 7 girl. Too vicious and feisty.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi5AsxZ6TS
I hope Bay gets along all right with the 'allies'.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT5379gYub
'' So how was Training?'' Finnick asked as I came back.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q2pJVuHtk
'' Good.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9veIM2Tptb
He raised his eyebrows.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzXCmnxse9
'' I'll tell you later.'' He nodded his head.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvGgo5j86X
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxrGWNB9oP
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPxTSw1dyC
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3gDYVXQLn
'' It was alright.'' I nodded my head.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PsFveEwb8
'' Good and you Bay?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iKKr8cIXH
'' Perfect. Rain helped me set up the snares.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSpZ1aM69A
'' Aww yeah, I heard that you were a natural by the Gamemakers.'' Valora chewed a piece of dried plum.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqpJEzzJ15
'' Ummm... I wouldn't say I am a natural just pretty good.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWybi38ezyE
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJv6GNvDFG
'' Still not a natural.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwux4kdOvx
'' Well the expert and the Gamemakers say that.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwdef7S5gq
'' Oh shut up. We trying to eat here.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx9yINnfgc
'' Laurette.'' Valora frowned.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfq5lFiXnD
'' Oh I hate life.'' And she stormed off.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlD0Q4nQCk
Finnick coughed what sounded 'Werewolf time'. I could have slapped him.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MeLqXjZVg
But that would have destroyed his beautiful face.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7SHzkJIuL
Everyone looks at Laurette's full plate of food.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQSOiCJQV3
'' Rain take it up to her.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvvdX3W6Jz
'' Alright.'' I sighed as I picked up her plate.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfGiarbsp5
I swear she did this on purpose. I swiped the drink from the table and stormed off after her. I slam on her door.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrtyFBndwC
'' Laurette?!'' I come in anyway. And I see her crying. Great.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuIW96pyIo
'' What's wrong?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfG7MVkSBJ
'' 'What's wrong?' '' She imitates me. '' What's wrong?!'' She slams her fist on the desk. I hold my hands in surrender.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2ImbRoKXk
'' Just asking. Christ.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD29fZdzZr
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7NLYsEJJE
'' What's wrong?'' I repeat.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07z167O2d3
'' Don't you see how he looks at you?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmUQxvqY9a
'' Who's he?'' I ask even though I know the answer.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AHOHw4Bku
'' Finnick. He loves you.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LZuGRfUzV
'' He does?'' I am thick.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjUtFp8ZuL
'' He never looks at anyone else like your look.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3KOm25bqt
'' So you love him?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNDgMH0yZf
'' Yeah.'' She shrugged. '' No-one gets Finnick though. Your rare.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh6nOa1pLt
I look down because I don't know where to look. Rare? Me? I'm not.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RjCIrDXf3
'' Here's your dinner.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78rZTVnnjg
'' Oh... someone can eat that I already ordered something from this machine.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4JIYbAb8H
'' Okay.'' I turned to leave but she stopped me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvaMdkRGs
'' Good luck for Finnick.'' And she smiled.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOuSUUvaTF
'' Thanks.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tPxaykyGq
I leave with the abandoned dish in my hands. Well glad that's over.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG87KgreZv6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0XuGFrITx
I make my way to the Training Gym.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVthwDgBpf
Finnick is already there hands in his pockets. He is staring at the floor dimples showing. He looks up and smiles when I come.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XCQzyJcYP
'' Hey.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mCGViDpz6
'' Hey.'''' So what I am going to teach you today is how to fight.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBVRXTgDNR
'' I can't-''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4C05d5OoG
'' Don't say that. You can. You just need to practice.'' He grabbed a trident from the room.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQavOjr3u
'' Hold the trident like this.'' He showed me how you do it. I did it first time.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d6cOTUESD
'' Well done Rain. Now you have to learn to fight.'' He showed me how to block a weapon. And where to get the victim.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHnxSCKumo
'' You're a natural.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yfiHUAdLv
'' Thanks.'' I throw the trident and catch it. I then spin it and try some thrusts at a dummy.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5pDqRWbEk
'' Perfect.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4njvar5QJ
'' Can I work on swords?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMt5jLgUde
'' 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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCntQdgUyZ
'' Archery?'' He laughed.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q7JS1ET8p
'' Tomorrow. It's 9.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFMm5kSFdv
'' Okay.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVz6Ia9zUR
Finnick looked at me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaehGKqizss
'' I am going to get you out alive of this torture.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hewSU1wxo
'' How?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfEI2FmvOw
'' Sponsors.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew04sWpkWn
'' Why?''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob3smgVfvv
'' Because I know you can win.'' He leaned in closer. Heart. Beat, beat, beat. He reached forward and-490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFm8xDyL6
He decided against it.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYQL17G6I6
'' I-'' He left me standing there.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJueyoYnxXW
'' Finnick!'' He turned to me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXag1B8P1KN
'' I'm coming with you.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKgCzBKhhK
'' Alright.'' He stopped walking.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9drmX5GD1x
I caught up with him and tapped his shoulder.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtd9jDxlv2
'' Great Training today Rain.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rnIIBjt9A
'' Thanks to you.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ExLk4wMZ
'' Nah. It's all you.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxI8hIi9hk
We stood in silence in the lift and sneaked through our floor.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUKoqE5dZ3
'' Goodnight Finnick.''490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsELXpT6CU
'' Sweet dreams Rain.'' And he ran off.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9v9Uxg6Za
I lie in bed thinking about tomorrows Training.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin4b8W9Wzd
