We are took to the Training Centre with Finnick on my side and Laurette on Bay's side.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WrWeVWeYS
'' Your on the 4th floor.'' Valora explained. '' It's not bad but District 12's is the best. They have the roof.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q3YLhgBAI
We go up the elevator to the 4th floor. Once we get there, Valora does a commentary about the floor.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY7ibkggHz
'' And here we have the living space. I know, I know!'' She squealed high pitched.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOhKHGvEdx
'' Does she ever stop squealing?'' I ask Finnick.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbxbxJdO7o
'' No.'' He shook his head and laughed.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWX5cmMhDy
'' And here is the dining room.'' I look at the modern set of table and chairs with three taps. I nod my head in a sarcastic agreement of how nice it looks. Me and Finnick laugh again.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDbx73XSZh
'' Your bedrooms are around here.'' Valora said taking us around the corner of the living room. My bedroom is one of the biggest apparently. I'm happy with that. My old room back in 4 is the biggest room.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2icMtyP00v
'' Dinner will be ready soon.'' Finnick said after I looked around. '' Meet us in the 'dining room' at around 15 minutes.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HGoWv7pwl
'' Okay.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLLFDfy1fx
'' Okay.'' He lingered there for a few seconds and walked away again.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjsAmcIphq
I sat on my bed and looked out the window.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1PehGuAkt
The Capitol sky is a sunset orange with a few streaks of red in it. It looks beautiful. I can imagine Father coming from the ships with a new fresh load of fish. All types of fish salmon, trout, tuna et cetera. I can imagine Ocean playing with her toy fish. I can see her hugging her father. Mother is smiling at both of them.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiYqEz0psM
I smiled joyfully and turned around. I see what looks like a remote. I gave a confused look at the electronic. I picked it up and pressed the button.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbfUIyEGUO
I jumped at the sight of the woods where what used to be the Capitol sky. Startled, I press it again. The jungle. Again. The desert. Any one of these could be the Arena.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGbqOVy9i9
Again. The ocean. I stare at it mesmerized. It has captured the light reflecting of the green waves perfectly. The waves crash against the sandy beach. Rocks and shells are swept up with it leaving a memory. A memory of when Ocean collected her shells and created pictures. Mother kept them and puts them on the wall. Red bedrock is cluttered in the horizon. That's where I stand. Looking out at sea.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCEIldhfnM
It's District 4.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkq01Bkvnh
I turn the control off and the mesmerizing scene rippled away. It was like it was never there in the first place.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc4PHGA9JP
Maybe it wasn't.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwhMB1R9Bd
I notice the time and I hurried to the dining room. Just in time.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9UFG8UThT
'' Aah here you are! Thought I was going to have to fetch Finnick after you.'' Valora said after she sat down. My stylists are here and the Prep Team. Finnick and Laurette are here too. There's only one person missing. Bay.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTmob4t17C
'' Where's Bay?''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2pPNGDpZd
'' In his room I think.'' Laurette snarled. '' Shall I get him for you Rainfall?'' She added.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvVl3Gup0q
'' No thanks Arausio.'' She squinted her eyes. I raised my eyebrows. I win. I said in my head. Round one me. '' Get him for everyone.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8PeykF1CY
She scowled and sauntered off.'' You don't like her do you?'' Finnick asked as soon as she was gone. It seemed to be no one was listening.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL7GDmoa3h
'' No she stuck my head down a toilet when I was 8. We were friends when I was 5 but not now.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp5yTwnggH
'' She hates you. She told me. Did you know what she also said to me?''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEqUTRzubk
'' What?'' He smirked.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwns1yAIQy
'' She asked me out.'' He laughed. '' I said no obviously.'' I breathed a sigh of relief. Nobody get's hands on Finnick. He only pretends to like them.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik5BJv44P8
Wait is he doing that to me?458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xI3Gu2PIr
'' Bad luck on her.'' I managed in the end. She came back with Bay and sat next to him. As I noticed far away as possible from him. Haha.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddHEJaLc8c
'' So. Training starts tomorrow.'' Valora said. '' You two need to down there at 10.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9eE3V81NY
'' I'll take you there.'' Finnick adds. '' And I'll give you one tip. Don't always go for the weapon. Take like camouflage or knot-tying. Most of you will die from natural causes anyway.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9er6c88e9
'' Also,'' Laurette adds. '' Don't show yourself off. Make yourselves look weak. Ha. They'll never see it coming. One of you two could be strong.'' She looked at Bay enthusiastically.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthpjlXVB4D
'' After 3 days of Training, you will do your Private Training Session. Show off your skills then. Or you can choose the weak side of you and get a 3 or 4. Most Careers, like you two, should get an 8 or higher.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYlfdmkDIZ
'' But I chose to go solo in the Games.'' Finnick said.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmboxrHGj3l
'' So did I.'' Laurette added proudly.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxOsTMYzW
'' After the Private Training Session, you have your interviews. Now I can help you there.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MQWdb4u4C
'' We'll help too. By saying what to say to Caesar and what to do to get the audience to like you.'' Finnick smiled a toothy grin.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXFBoHMrxN
'' Sponsors will be there.'' Added Carter. '' I will be also making your clothes and Casey will be aiding me.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSswksGAY6M
'' For likability.'' Casey added. The Prep team nodded.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8EN848Xjl
'' Then there is the Games.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKczHBHs0hF
'' We'll talk about that next time. Let's just enjoy our dinner.'' Finnick proposed. That's when I notice a red uniform standing by the door. It's a girl. She is holding a jug of water. She comes over to us and pours us each a glass of water. That's when I notice she is an Avox.She is a Capitol Traitor and has his/her tongue chopped off for good so he/her can't talk. I am actually sorry for them.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1E6tpefWV
We eat our mushroom soup and strawberry shortcake in peace with only talks of joy and laughter.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ523sywqmZS
'' I think we should have some chocolate covered strawberries.'' Valora announced. We all nod in agreement and help ourselves. Melt in the mouth these are.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04vETzYAnD
After we finished eating, Finnick came up to me.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo8GIaYMUt
'' Can we talk privately?'' He asks.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuponW3hrDN
'' Sure.'' I followed him until we came up to his bedroom.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFpgRibTfL
'' It's okay. You can come in.'' He ushered me forward. I gave in.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSDli6yyP0
I reluctantly came inside. You could see he has decorated it a bit. A flare of District 4. Sea, sun, fish,458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ojJFfepxi
trident and... a photograph. An old lady smiling at me. I grinned back.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xGDr322T
'' Who's this?''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUjAx0ZH7x
'' Umm...'' He looked a little sad.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuwIc7Sy4K
'' You don't have to tell me. It just jumped out sor-''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUyHDBh2X7
'' No it's fine. She is my Mentor from the Games I won. Mags.'' He looked down at his feet.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEH6yXkXoe
'' Oh,'' He must really care about her if he has a photograph. '' So what did you want to talk to me about?'' I am breaking the subject as I possibly can.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTv4HYplfQ
'' I want to do extra Training with you.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCPR8dEKcs
'' Why do you think I am weak?'' I am repulsed.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mF2TxeaAq
'' No. No, no, no. I think- change that- I know that you can win the Games.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimDo5bv8BC
'' How? I have no qualities of winning. Plus I can't kill people.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYwc8LkBpC
'' You don't need to. But if you want to, I can help you there.'' He held his hand out. I declined.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5WVwhVl6c
'' Have you told Valora?''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEbglc0rpL
'' If I told you the truth, will you still accept?'' He gritted his teeth.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS03agUsD3o
'' Tell me.'' I demanded.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUvioaSkD
'' Alright. No I think this should be secret.''458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyITgnTqMms
'' I'm agreeing.'' I take his outstretched hand and shake it.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNIm0Z7WKe
'' Great!'' I am going to enjoy the Training even more. I smile.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3c4wQLG6f
I turn to leave. I look back at him. He's smiling. I smile back.And suddenly black. Someone's calling my name but I am fading away...458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBNxUZI3NS
