hey there guys! I hope you enjoy the fanfic and remember to review to say what things I should change and so on :)


Katniss POV


Today is a sunny day at the Victors Village. Peeta is baking, as usual, and Prim is playing with Buttercup in the gardens. The Panem is long destroyed and now we live in a kingdom called the Camelot, ruled by the most respected King Arthur. The tributes and their families and friends have inherited this tiny village. We decided to call it the Victors Village. Peeta lives here, and also works at the Castle, baking for the King and Queen of Camelot, Arthur and Gwen. He earns quite a lot and we never starve. The other tributes have found a place to work at, and some, like Cato and Gale (although Gale isn't a Victor) they were named as Knights of Camelot. They live here, too, unlike the other Knights. The village is pretty large. Some of the Tributes, I cannot name, but we have Finnick, Johanna, Annie, Chaff and the rest. Now and again Gale and I go private hunting (although this time it's authorised) and catch game for the village and also for the Castle. Life never gets bad here. Prim, walking past me, gives me a small smile as I polish my bow, and I see Peeta in a distance, waving to me. With a slight smile, I put down the bow and run towards him. He made cheese buns. My favourite.


Tris POV


I walked behind Tobias across the chasm, through the corridors and out to where the net is. I'm expecting Max is at the top with the initiates. Tobias, I have noticed, cannot take his eyes off me. Of course, it's because of the dress Christina had borrowed me for my first training day. I feel the urge to cover my chest most of the time, and an urge to notice how Tobias is eyeing me although I try to ignore. I don't think any other guys are that bothered; I'm still small and the curves haven't grown to the extremes. My hair has grown just long enough to cover some parts of my skin. I shove the thoughts out of my head when the first initiate hits the net. Tobias approaches and tries to help him out. It's a young man from Erudite. He rejects Tobias' hand and tries to clamber over the edge. I laugh to myself as he collapses on the ground and groans. This time he takes Tobias' outstretched hand learning not to be a fool again. Erudites. I smirk.

"Name?" Tobias asks vacantly.

"Richard Parker," he says, looking over at me. He smirks and his eyes seem to check me out. I cover my chest uncomfortably.

"Listen kid. When you talk to someone, you look into their face." I don't think Tobias cares about manners, but the fact that how obviously he's staring at me.

The Erudite kid smirks and looks back at Tobias. Strange to think of him as a kid. He's only a year younger than me. Just then, another Initiate dropped into the net.


Merlin POV


I hear Gaius from the living room shouting for me to wake up. I sigh and tumble out of bed. "Do not keep King Arthur waiting."

I sigh again, and change quickly, hoping not to miss breakfast.

When I reach the living room, I see Gaius sitting on the table, finishing his porridge. "Where's mine?" I ask and smile, taking a seat opposite him.

"It doesn't exist, Merlin. Yours doesn't exist."

I give him a hard look, but he smiles and takes out another plate from under the table.

"Very funny," I say, and grab a spoon. With a glance from Gaius I scoop up the porridge and, grabbing my jacket, I run across the halls of the Castle straight into Arthur's room. Luckily he is still sleeping, so I am not late. When I walk in, I see Gwen is by his side, covered completely with the sheets but I suspect she wears nothing. I cringe and decide to leave them when I hear Arthur: "Where you think you're going, Merlin?"

"Aren't you… a bit busy."

"Maybe, but that gives you no excuse to think that it's alright not to bring us breakfast."

I sigh, trying to be noticeable, but I know Arthur doesn't care. "Sorry, Sire, but I can't help it if the sight of… this," I nod at him and look away, "disturbs me." Then I cannot hold back a smile.

"Merlin," Arthur stares at me seriously, and my smile fades as I quickly pace away towards the kitchens.


Beth POV


When I wake up, I realize that Alex is still asleep, so I quickly clamber out of bed, put on my shirt and jeans and quickly, soundlessly, sneak out, sniggering under my breath. Let him wake up without me. Confuse him and surprise him.

I run down towards the kitchen, laughing breathlessly, and out of the front door. I run past some villagers and towards Evalynn's house. I knock on her door, and then I see Alex across the street, looking for me. I laugh again and he sees me, and paces towards me. He managed to fully dress that fast?

Just then the door opens, and Evalynn stares at me, confused. "please," I beg her, giggling, glancing to the side as Alex breaks into a run. Evalynn smiles and lets me in, and shuts the door.

"What is it?" Evalynn wriggles her eyebrows and laughs.

"I'm teasing Alex."

Evalynn giggles with me as Alex knocks the door. I can hear him laughing. "Beth!" he shouts.

I run upstairs and into Evalynn's bedroom. I reach the window and stare down at him from above. I laugh and call his name. He stares around for a second, then looks up, noticing me. "Beth, this isn't fair."

"Do you want me, Alex?" I shout back and giggle again.

"Yeah… please come down!" he looks almost innocent. I look down at him as he pouts.

"Doesn't work on me," I shut the windows and run from Evalynn's room into a spare room at the back. I stare out of that window. Alex sees me and quickly paces to stand bellow it. I snigger and quickly bolt to Evalynn's room, and stare out of that window. Now Alex looks Seriously confused.


Evalynn POV


I enter the living room, and Will stares at me, confused. I take a seat across from him on the dinner table and resume eating breakfast he has made for us. "what was that?" Will asks, smiling.

"Beth playing with Alex."

"Let the poor guy in. I could understand how he must feel right now."

"How?" I give him the eyes.

"When you run from me I just want to grab you and kiss you and tickle you until I'm breathless." He smiles and my cheeks flush. "Of course," I say slyly.

I get up and open the door. Alex gives me a joking evil face and laughs. I let him in and he rushes upstairs. Then hear giggling and a shout of "S-Stop it!" from Beth as she laughs, and I return to the living room, smiling.

"How cute," Will says sarcastically, and smiles.

"You won't be saying that when you're the one who's chasing," I laugh, and run for it, leaving my food untouched. I run, and nearly trip over. I hear Will calling my name in a pleading voice, but I ignore it and make my way toward the castle. I can run all the way around toward the back, and if he finds me, we can be alone unseen. As I sprint past the market I hear Will call my name again and smile. He's tall so he could see me easily, but yet again, I'm smaller than most people and I can hide. People cautiously make way for him, but they do not know how kind he really is. I laugh, looking back, and hit straight into someone. Taken aback, I glance up at them. A tall, dark haired boy with a red scarf and a dark blue shirt beneath his brown, dirty jacket. By his looks, I can tell he must be a servant. "Oh, I'm sorry," I quickly apologise.

"No… it's alright," he smiles.

"MERLIN!" someone shouts, and when I follow the voice, I realize it's King Arthur.

"Um… Merlin," the boy tells me.

"Evalynn," I answer, and he nods. Then I see King Arthur pace towards us, his armour catching the light of the warm day, with a helmet wedged between his waist and arm. "You're our gardeners daughter, aren't you?" King Arthur suddenly asks me and I almost feel uncomfortable that he might make a cruel remark about my status but he doesn't. Not like most young Kings. "Your mother makes our garden look amazing, I can tell you that. Queen Guinevere loves it." The young King smiles and for the first time, I see kindness in his blue eyes. And also courage and strength. His blond hair reminds me of Kyle's. His hair was just like this. King Arthur nods and turns around to walk away. Merlin smiles to me awkwardly and follows the King his hands behind his back. Arthur mounts the horse and Merlin mounts the other. Then, the Knights of Camelot take theirs and they disappear in the crowd. I am caught off guard, when Will grabs me and I let out a small, surprised squeak. Then, laughing, he runs with me in his arms back home, whispering into my ear: "The breakfast will go cold, Evalynn. I don't want to throw it out, I made it for you."

"I love you," I whisper and he softly kisses my cheek.
