After we Say our goodbyes, we are shipped on a train to the capital. I honestly think the capital thinks we are animals. Shipping us to the capital just to be held captive and fight to the death. It's stupid. Anyway, on the train, Matthew walks up to me. "Diamond, when you get in that Arena, come straight for me. My parents have hated me all my life. If I win, They'll love me just because I won. Please come straight for me!" Matthew says. "Ya know Matthew? I'm gonna call you Matt." I say and look out the window... I'm not too sure if I should kill him. He seems nice. "Yeah.. Call me Matt." he says. I turn to face him. "Matt... What exactly is with your parents?" I ask. He sits next to me. "Well, when I was two, I broke my mom's favorite vase. She yelled at me and hit me. I was so scared. Then, when I was six, I said the hunger games is stupid out in public. My mom took me home and wipped me. That's how I got this scar." He says and points to his forehead. "Then whenever I was 11, I got bad grades in school. My dad hit me, whipped me and screamed at me. It was a combination about what happened when I was 2 and 6. I stayed up that night because my parents were having an interesting conversation and I could hear them. My mom said "What are we gonna do with him! I hate his guts! He is such a disgrace for this family. I want him to be sent away somewhere else!". My dad said "I know! He is such an idiot and disgraceful kid! I hope he gets into the Hunger Games soon so he can die!". I cried all night. I didn't get sleep that night. I have always wanted to turn them into the peace keepers but... I was to scared!" He says. "What did they say before you left?" I ask. "My mother said District 2 has a strong, confident and brave tribute this year. She said that she's gonna win. She was talking about you. She was smiling when she came in to say good bye to me! My dad said that I'm gonna be the first to die in that arena. Make my dad's words true, Diamond. Please." He says. That boy has just melted my heart. I'm not too sure if I have a mind now, I'm just too... Sad. I'm not gonna kill him. I'll protect him until I die. I don't say anything. I'm afraid if I say I'm gonna protect him, He'll beg me to kill him. I'll just not kill him in that arena and surprise him. When nightfalls, I get into my bed on the train and fall into a deep sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night screaming. I had a horrible dream. It was where I completely failed to protect Matt. He died a cruel, mean death by the boy from 1. He's a monster who can work well with knives and spears. He threw a spear at his neck and cut him up with the knife. Mary comes into my room. "Bad dream sweetie?" she asks and I Nod. "It will be ok. " she says and leaves my room. I run into the bathroom, start crying and wash my face. I can use a shower so I hop into the the shower. After I turn it on and hop in, I feel the hot, steamy and boiling water run sprinkle my back. The water is about as hot as 20 pots filled with bolling water on a hot stoves. After my shower, I get out, put pajamas on and climb back in bed, I fall asleep again. No nightmares. (I'll update soon! Bye guys :))
