DISCLAIMER: I don't own the hunger games or Finnick Odair :(

Katniss Everdeen won The 69th Hunger Games at the age of thirteen, stealing the title of being the youngest ever victor in all of Panem away from Finnick Odair. Ever since then they became rivals. Instead of growing up in district 12, she grew up in 2, only because her mother was the merchant's daughter and her grandparents couldn't stand their only daughter live in the poorest district. She started training for the games at the age of eight. The peacekeepers saw her potentials when she defended her best friend from the older kids in their district using her intelligence and little knowledge of wrestling. She won by setting other careers on fire when she saw her opportunity gaining her title 'The girl on fire'.

(Katniss POV)

"C'mon fire girl, give up, you'll never win this round." Finnick seethed, and then threw another unsuccessful punch.

"Please Odair, you know I always win you been losing to prove that for years." I taunted giving him my famous scowl.

A raised, clenched fist onward strike my face, it was nearly impossible to block because the extension of his arms are longer than mine, but I ducked and slam my elbow into his chest over and over again when I got close enough. I felt a kick on my right shin, it hard and fast, this brought me on the ground because of my automatic reaction to the pain.

I grunt when I made my way up, Finnick is showing me mercy by letting me stand up before attacking, more like showing me up to the watching tributes.

When I settled my ground he ran towards me and I did the same, he screams and I did the same. And then he gave me the signal we talked about, and we stopped running and we bow leaving the tributes with shocked.

"Don't mind their unreasonably stunt. They pull it off almost every year to tributes like yourself." Grey said, Grey is one of the only three peacekeeper I actually like. He's responsible but not rude and he's a good friend of my grandfather.

Finnick and I took our spot on both sides of Grey.

I took mental notes on what this year's tribute possibly be; I started on district one. Glamour, or Glimmer I think her name is by the way she looks is another girl version of Finnick. She hair done perfectly in a simply ponytail, face in a simple makeup by the looks of it this girl will rely on her looks more than her strength. The boy beside her looks decent lean but not skinny and he seem nice but that arrogance on his face reminds me of my fellow victor Gloss.

And from my district Clove is actually a friend of mine believe or not. She gave me her trademark vicious grin when she saw my gaze then returned her attention back to Grey. Beside her is Cato the second best after me my districts academy. He gave me the look he always gives me; the smirk filled with hatred, lust, and jealousy.

The careers as always were looking healthy, strong, and arrogant and the outline districts looks skinny, afraid, and I pity them because technically I'm half.

There's little Rue, fourteen, she's barely a teenager and she's going to die. I really hope her bulky district partner is going to help her.

Peeta has been looking back and forth at his district partner, with worry and love, what? Are they friends? Lovers? Or are they related but they don't look the part, she has warm brown eyes and dark brown hair and they just don't look anything alike.

I snapped out of my own world and paid attention to what Grey was explaining. "You lot will be lucky enough to learn a thing or two from two of our victors. As you all know these two are the youngest to ever win the games, they are just the same age as some of you. But please so respect."

Grey gave me a 'you take over look'. "At least once Finnick and I will be having a private session with the lot of you. This games is special as you all know it will be two weeks of training instead of one. It will be harder, if you don't know how to use a damn knife learn how, if you do, good for you, more time to learn to use other weapons."

They all nodded.

"What kitty Katniss is saying is you'll be dead as soon as you step into that arena if you don't know how to defend yourself! This year will be more gore and bloody than ever. More mutts and a whole new arena. So if you want to survive don't listen to you mentor and I'm talking to you twelve." Finnick gave then a stern look before carrying on. "It will be a bloodbath and bigger and better weapon, for example the tips of the arrow are sharper with venom of tracker jackers. The knives also contains the venom of the world's most venomous frog, it won't kill you quick it will be painful and slow."
