PROLOUGE_
_Katniss POV_
The odds are never in your favor. I have come to realize that. When I was 8, I remember my dad told me that luck was never on your side. In my childish mind then, I thought he was wrong. Now, I realize he couldn't have been more right. I mean, what were the odds that my sweet little sister would get picked? I don't know, 1 in a billion? Now here I am, thrown into a fight to the death. Dramatic turn of events indeed. "The silverware here is to die for!" Effie squeaks happily, bringing me back to reality. We were on the capitol train with a direct destination to the capitol. District 12 to the Capital takes forever, but then as Effie would say, "the longer the better!" "These are made from Iron Silver where! The finest in all of Panem." Effie shrieks with delight again. I glance around the train cart. Peeta is sulking quietly in one of the seats on the far side of the train car, Effie is admiring the china and silverware, Haymitch is drinking, and I was doing nothing. I stood up abruptly almost knocking over the table. "I'll be in my room." I mumbled and headed towards the end of the cart. The shuddering of the train frightened me for a second, but then I bravely passed over to my room. The room is very pretty, with a Gold and Blue trimming theme. I sit down and quickly pull of my braid. It takes me a while, but I am eventually able to take out the intricate braid my mother had made for the reaping. A pang of sadness hits my heart. Mother. Prim. Gale. I fall into a fitful sleep waiting for the rest of the day to hurry up my inevitable death.
"Katniss, dear! Wake up! Up, up, up, it's a Big, big, big day!" I groan inwardly as I recognize the voice of Effie. I sit up instantly and it takes me a few minutes to recognize my surroundings. "Dear, we are heading into the training center right now." Effie says to me with a little nod of her teal blue wig. I quickly dress splash water in my face, and head to the dining cart. I observe that Peeta and Haymitch are having a conversation about finding shelter. Without me, I think sadly. "Katniss, you're up," Peeta says to me a bit nervously. Probably feeling guilty about talking strategies with Haymitch and leaving me out. I nod stiffly at him, and sit down. Peeta looks over at me and offers me a small smile that I can't help but return. Effie walks in with a little strut of her heels, and sits down next to me. "We will be arriving in the capitol in approximately, 1 minute!" she chippers. An avox walks in with some muffins and coffee. We eat in silence, but I can practically hear everyone talking in their heads, suddenly I'm jerking out of my seat. "What the…!" I start to say as the train shudders to a halt. Effie is unfazed. "We are here!" she says with a smile. I feel a hand on my arm. Peeta. "Are you okay?" he asks bending over me anxiously. "I'm fine." I reply coldly. Colder than I intended. He drops my arm quickly and runs to the window. "Katniss look! Its, it's amazing!" He rants. I felt a knot in my stomach as it hits me. We're here.
