PEETA'S POV:
My eyes darted everywhere. Was that my name just called? Sadly, I lingered towards the stage now greyed with age. All eyes were on me. I looked dead ahead, keeping my focus on the person who held my world in the palm of her hand. Katniss Everdeen.
I stood on the opposite side of Effie Trinket. This year she looked exceptionally pink. Although all different types of colors, some I didn't even know existed, seemed to emanate from her being. She was jabbering on about how the Capitol was just oh so wonderful, and explained how we all owe our debt to their kind forgiveness. I would never know how someone could think like that.
As the video of our dear Capitol played along; I glanced over at Katniss. She stood tall and brave with her shoulders back. Her hands were clasped firmly behind her. There were faint emotions passing by her face. I knew that she needed to be brave. For her mother and sister. Katniss after all volunteered for her sister Prim. I am positive that she would do anything for her little sister…die for her. But you, well I, could tell that she was saddened and also slightly frightened. I turned back and looked at all of the people who were grateful they weren't standing in our spots. All of their faces showed sympathy. I couldn't look at my parents' or siblings' faces. My father and brothers were probably sad and distraught. My mother, however, was for sure happy that she had one less mouth to feed. That thought made me sick to my stomach, even though I already was. And with that, I decided to simply look at the birds that were lucky enough to be free from our troubles and problems.
A shrill voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "All right you two, shake hands now. Go on!" I don't know how anyone could be happy at a time like this.
I looked at Katniss and she looked straight back at me with a blank face. My blonde hair was somewhat in my eyes, so I tried my best to look right at her. Her hands were clammy but firm. We did a simple quick shake but lingered there as if stuck in time.
"Alright! Come along you two let's get you both on the train to your new and brighter future!" said Effie. Man, I really don't get how she is able to be all happy all the time. When people are starving and work hard labor to get the tiniest bit of food, she probably stresses, on if she has enough make-up to cover up her face.
We board the train. Me and Katniss haven't spoken a word and I highly doubt that she will speak to me at all during our entire trip. God, I really wish she would talk to me! I NEED someone to talk to me and not just be sympathetic. I also love her by the way and I wish I could talk to the girl I loved so much. I can tell that she also needs someone but she will never ask. She is too strong for that.
We sit on extremely comfortable chairs that cost around the range of one Seam house each. The train in general is exquisite. Everything is furnished and highly expensive and this is just the train! It's nice to know the Capitol cares so much about us tributes. There are so many mouth-watering foods and desserts that are spread out for our taking. I don't touch one thing. I can't show weakness in front of Katniss. Her opinion of me means everything. I flatten my back against the chair and silently wait for our mentor.
Suddenly ,out of the blue I hear a whisper. "Are you afraid?" There is silence and it takes me a second to realize that it came from Katniss. She glances at me with a hopeful look on her face and I answer her softly: "I think you are better at hiding it then I am." I gently smile at her and she returns the favor. "I hope our mentor isn't drunk. He should wait until he is done talking with us" I say. She nods her head in agreement. It is then sadly silent again.
We have been riding, in silence, for the past three hours and there is still no sign of our mentor or our pink Effie Trinket. I have lost my patience and have gotten up to search for them. Even though I lose my patience, I don't show it. Ever. I am about to open the door when a sudden jerk stops me. Then the train screeches and knocks me right off me feet. I silently grunt and lift myself off the floor and dust myself off. Then something occurs to me. I turn to Katniss and she has the same look on her face. Confusion. I look out of the window and see that we are no where near the Capitol. We are in the middle of nowhere.
The train has stopped without any notice.
