Before I start, I just want to say:Sorry if I spell things wrong, the program I use to typr doesn't correct me, and I'm not that good at spelling :P

Chapter II

As I'm led out to the train station, I squeeze Dancer's collar. I'm rushed through the crowd and onto the train. As the door shuts behind me, I'm left alone in a bedroom. I'm barely in there for five minutes when Missy tells me to come out.

I listen to her, and come out. I walk down the cars and end up in a dining room with Missy, Liam, and someone who I guess is our mentor. I sit down and glace around the table. Nobody talks or eats for a mere five minutes.

"So,"says the mentor breaking the silence. "Sorry i couldn't be at you're reaping."

"Capitol holding you up?"asked Missy.

"No, my daughter didn't know what to wear,"the mentor replies.

Liam and I sit in silence while Missy and the mentor exchange small talk. "Via right?" Liam's question startles me.

"Yeah, I'm Via. You're Liam right?"I answer back.

"Yep. So, what do you think about all this?"he asks.

"I don't really know. I mean it sucks, but at the same time, I want to avenge Moira,"I say.

"So, Liam, Via. What can you guys do?"asks the mentor.

"Nothing,"we say in unison.

"I've seen Via climb the rope in the school gym like it's nothing, she's the fastest in her class, and she's the best archer in the school,"disagrees Liam.

"Well, I've seen Liam lift every weight in the gym and do chin-ups like no one else,"I shoot back at him.

Missy smiles and says,"Well, I guess you can something! Thom, you can go now if you want."

Missy turns to us and says,"Looks like we have some hope after all! Now, eat up, we'll be at the Capitol tomorrow at noon!"

The three of us eat in silence, I'm the first to go, followed by Liam. I walk to the car that I was in earlier, and open up the wardrobe. They have everything from dresses to jumpsuits. I close my eyes and grab something soft. I change into it, and lay on the bed.

I can't sleep knowing that this train ride is only the first part of my doom. I look out the window and see a beautiful forest the stretches as far as I can see. My blonde hair remains in the braids they were in this morning. I twirl Dancer's collar in my hands wondering what thier doing back at home.

I open the door to the next compartment, and find myself on the last car. I keep walking, and end up at an open window. I poke my head out, and look around taking in the landscape. I pull my head back inside, and sit on a chair for a while.

I don't remember ever dosing off, but I jump awake at Missy's voice,"Via, this is where you were! We're almost at the capitol, come on!"

I follow her to the same huge dining car we were in before. Liam is already there, grinning. I don't know what he's so happy about until he points towards the window. I run over and look around. The Capitol is beautiful!

I see a crowd further down the tracks eagerly awaiting our arrival. I push down the window, and stick my hand out, receiving tons of high-fives. At one point, someone almost pulls me off the train. As we near the station, the crowd grows larger and larger. I look at Liam, and he too, is sticking his hand out the window.

Missy tells us both to "stop this nonsense." We both listen and retract our hands. We go into a tunnel, and the crowd is left behind. Missy, Liam, Thom, and I unboard the train. We are directed to a large building. Missy and Thom walk into an elevator, but Liam and I hold back.

"It's not bad guys, c'mon,"sighs Missy. I slowly step into the elevator followed by Liam. Missy's finger is litteraly on the button when someone calls. "Missy, do you mind if we come with you?"I look up to see four people standing in front of us.

By the looks of it, two are fellow tributes. Liam and I step back and Missy lets them on. I hear Liam talking to one of the other tributes. The girl tribute catches my eye. She looks even more nevous than me. She looks like she's only a year older than me.

I look over at the other tribute, and shockingly, they look almost identical. Twins. But why? Did one volunteer? I didn't watch the reapings with Liam and Missy. We get off at the tenth floor, but they keep going. Liam says that they're from District Eleven.

When the doors close I roll my eyes at Liam. "What?"he asks. I walk away, and follow Missy down a hall. "Via, this is your room,"she says to me opening a door. "Liam, your room is right across that hall."

I disappeared into my room before she could say more. I still have Dancer's collar and I hold it close to me. The only things I have from home are this and Liam. Not that I really care about Liam. I look out a window and see the sun setting. I watch it until outside is dark, and all the lights in the capitol are on.

I lay in my bed and try to sleep. I remember I didn't lock the door, but I'm too tired to get up. I fall asleep and begin to dream. I see Moira sitting on a tree stump. No, it's not Moira, it's me. I'm sharpinging a knife with a rock. There is a rustling coming from the bushes, and I go to see what it is. Two huge people jump out of the bushes and one grabs me.

He grabs my neck and a cannon sounds. This is how Moira died. This is how I will die. I wake up and stare at the cieling. Tomorrow is the parade. The first time the audiance gets a good look at me.
