hey guys! i want you to know this is my first story ive ever acually posted so keep in mind it might not be so good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hold the flask between my hands even though the warmth between the tea and my hands has long escaped from the frozen muscles are frozen against the cold. if a pack of wild dogs were to appear at this moment , i would be a goner.i should move around and get some warmth back into my muscles , but i sit still with the rock against my back watching the sunrise into the day i have longed would never happend . at noon the camera's the reporters , even Effie Trinket my old escort , will be at my house all the way from the capital.I think about the color effie's wig will be for the victory tour. maybe pink, or some other unatural color for the victory tour. There ,of couse, will be a staff to cater my every need on the prep team the make me look beautiful for the public . the old also my stylist , Cinna , who is also one of my only friends from the it were my choice , i would get the hunger games out of my speak of them. pretend they were nothing but a bad dream caused from bad bean the victory tour makes that tour right between the ending of the hunger games , and the beginning of the next hunger games ,is a way for the capital to keep us reminded that the capital is the only place with power , and that they can wipe us all out like they did with district 13 in a press of a only do i have to make a speech to say in front of the districts, but i have to say it in front of all the familys i have killed.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As i make my way over to gale's house i think about how he has to work in those horrid mines. the only day we really get to see eachother is when we go hunting together on Sunday' i was thinking about gale, i had already made my way to his front door. I knock and i find Hazelle , gale's mom."This will make a good stew." Hazelle say's when she see's my haul. Rory walks in a few seconds later."You know rory i was thinking, maybe after the tour i could take you hunting , maybe teach ya' to shoot." He smiles and nods. Hazelles nods at me. I didn't even know she had been listening."that'd be good.I know Gale means to, but he's only got his sundays, and i think he likes saving those for you." I blush even though things have never been the same since the games, but there hasn't been anything romantic bewteen me and gale."I'd better head out now." I say as i .Next stop, the I buy three bottles of wine and sell one of them to old cray , the head peace keeper, I walk into the hob, the black market trading place i grew up in.I sit down and order soup from the cook, greasy time has passed when Darius has comeand sat down next to me. "Shouldn't you be on a train?and look better?" he jokes around with me. unlike all of the other peace keepers he is close to being my friend."There collecting me at noon , and they'll put make make up on me to make me look unreconizable."I say." show a little district pride hmm miss. everdeen?" He gets up and joins the other peace keepers. "gale gonna see ya'?" Greasy Sae asks. "No he wasn't on the list." "Oh i think he would have made the list , you know, him being your cousin and all." Yah that's another genius decided to make him my cousin, since when they said friends everybody said was to handsome, and he had that seam look like they said he was ,my cousin so they wouldn't take it away from me and peeta's romance act. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I walk into Haymitch's house, and my nose wrinkles in he should really let someone clean his house.I find him lying on the couch, dead to the world."get up!" I yell "Haymitch it's tour day" He won't wake up so i find a basain of cold water and dump it on his head."Ahh" He slashes his knife around a few times before coming to life.I foregot he sleeps with that in his hands."What was that?" he asks "It was water. i couldn't shake you if you wanted to be babied, you should have asked peeta."asked me what?" At the sound of his voice , peeta walks in with a loaf of bread.I shudder a range of emotions goes through my stomach."Asked you to wake me up without giving me pneumonia." Says haymitch who passes his knife over to peeta who smiles happily and cuts the 's not until he gives haymitch a peice that he even looks at me for the first time "Would you like a peice?"He asks "no i ate at the hob" I say "But thank you" "Your welcome" he says stiffly."Brr you two have alot of warming up to do." says haymitch. He's right. the crowd expects to love birds not two people who barely look eachother in the eye. "take a bath haymitch" I swing out of the window and land in fresh snow.I go home and open the door to find my mother taking my arm. "don't worry i'm taking them off here."I assure her. "how was your walk?" Walk? she knows i've been in the woods for half the day."More like skating it's really slippery out there." "Someone's here to see you" Her face is pale and she is trying to send me a message. "this way miss everdeen" A peace keeper i had noticed before points to a door. I'm not used to being ushered around my own house. "Go in" He says. Why was my mother so pale?and why was she trying to hide something and why would she lie?But my question has been answered when i walk in and am staring into the snake like eyes of president snow. "Give me a moment." I barely hear.
