Life in a Glass House

Disclaimer: I don't own The Hunger Games I only own my OC Characters and my own plot.

"Come in, sit down, sit down," Kit bubbled as Lily entered the train followed by Nile. The inside of the train was decorated with over the top style, plush lounges, chandeliers, tables with mountain high piles of food and brightly coloured bottled liquids.

"Congratulations on being chosen," Kit smiled widely "The Capitol is just going to love you; you'll be showered with attention." Lily frowned slightly and was about to say something when the door opened and her own sea green eyes met the greenest eyes she had ever seen. Leaning on a counter just inside the door was Finnick Odair. Lily had watched Finnick win his Games when she was eleven, he had been a cute 14 year old who the whole world fell in love with. If he was cute then he was deviously good looking now.

"So you're our mentor?" Nile asked eagerly, Finnick was a role model to most of the males between 12-18 in District four most of the girls had a crush on him but that didn't just stop in District, girls from all Districts and especially in the Capitol loved Finnick. Finnick had quite the reputation of sleeping with rich woman in the Capitol.

"Yes, I'm Finnick Odair." Finnick sauntered over, Lily noted that he hadn't needed to introduce himself but he had anyway, he was a heart breaker, Lily could tell that much at least.

"I'm Nile O'Connor," Nile said as Finnick sat opposite them.

"Yes the first volunteer in a while from District Four." Finnick nodded. "So you volunteered to save your girlfriend, it's a huge risk to take but I think we can work with that angle." Finnick stated seriously.

"His not my boyfriend." Lily blurted and then blushed a little as Finnick raised his eyebrows.

"I thought that since that kid wasn't your brother that you must have volunteered for her?"

"No I mean Lily probably needs the protection but I volunteered because he was just a kid, I couldn't just stand there and let him get killed." Nile said, it was a touching story but Lily glared at him.

"I don't need your protection or anyone's Nile," Lily spat, angry that Nile had made her look weak.

"Settle down Princess save your anger for the Arena." Finnick smirked clearly amused at Lily's outburst. Lily only turned her glare at Finnick in reply.

"My name is Lily! Not princess!"

"Okay, would you like to be trained together or separately," Finnick asked.

"Separately." We said together.

"Lily why don't you go shower while Finnick talks to Nile and then he can come talk to you?" Lily nodded and Kit led her away to her room.

"You have your own bathroom in there and clothes are in the draws for you." Kit said leaving Lily to her own devices.

Lily went to the draws and pulled out clothes to her liking and headed for the shower. The shower was different to the once back in district four the water came out coloured and smelt like vanilla and peaches. Lily took time relaxing in the warm water and rinsing her golden locks before hoping out.

Lily looked around her room, the feeling of emptiness and loneliness hit her. She sat on her big bed and fiddled with the necklace trying to clip it back on. Lily longed for Kai; he would know how to make her smile. The pain hit Lily and tears started to fall, quiet sobs escaped as she thought of her brother's smile and how she would probably never get to see it again.

A knock on the door forced Lily to calm down and wipe her face before answering to find Finnick on the other side of the door.

"Whoa," Finnick said as he saw her puffy eyes. Lily guessed Finnick was used to swooning girls not crying girls. "You okay Princess?" Lily ignored the Princess comment and nodded.

"Come in." She said shortly, sitting back on her bed and picked her necklace back up and tried to put in back on.

"Here let me help." Finnick said walking over and taking the necklace out of her hands, "Hold your hair up." Lily wordlessly pulled her hair out of the way. Finnick's hand wear cold and soft, Lily shivered slightly at his cool touch.

"Interesting necklace," Finnick commented sitting in a lounge chair opposite the bed.

"My twin Kai gave it to me to wear in the arena." Lily said quietly.

"Joe River's twins," Finnick said as he got some understanding at who Lily was.

"Only twins in the district." Lily nodded.

"Must be rough leaving him behind,"

"I miss him so bad it hurts but I'm glad he is safe at least." Lily nodded.

"So down to business, I have to ask what your strengths are?" Finnick smiled and Lily felt her heart melt.

"Dad taught me a few weapons, and how to tie ropes and how to make nets and start fires." Lily told him. "I'm handy at spears and bows but I'm quite deadly with knives and small swords."

"When we get to the training centre mess around with spears and arrows but don't try your best and stick the survival based workshops wait till you're in the one on one with the game makers to let leash the knives and small swords." Finnick smiled and Lily felt her heart tighten and her home sickness lift away a little. "What about weaknesses? Is there anything that I should know about that might get you killed?"

"Well, erh..." Lily tried to think of something that could get her killed but she was stumped, she could barely breathe being in a confined room with Finnick Odair, how could she think. "I guess Kai always said I looked to girlie, innocent sort off ad people might underestimate me."

Finnick chuckled and Lily felt butterflies fly around in her stomach at the throaty sound. "Underestimating you won't be a bad thing Princess, Is that all you've got?"

"Well I've never, I've never…"

"Killed someone?" Finnick finished for her.

"I've never even hurt somebody before," Lily exclaimed. "How am I meant to kill someone? How am I meant to protect myself?"

Finnick smiled sadly at Lily. "I thought that too, before going into the Arena but when you're in there it changes, it's either being killed or kill." Finnick shook his head and his hair flipped over. "Come on, dinner should be ready Princess."

A/N: I know this is all fluffy stuff but I want to build a base for my characters relationship instead of just jumping in to it. I promise it will get more exciting as Lily gets closer to entering the Arena.

I would love REVIEWS! I would love to know what you think, if you think Lily is cut out to be in the Hunger Games. I will update within a day or two.
