POV Kurt

After the hymn was playing again, Kurt and Quinn were led by a group of Peacekeepers, police officers of Panem, for the Justice Building. When they arrived, Kurt and Quinn were conducted to different rooms. Both were alone in the room. Kurt looked around the room. It looked like a room of a mansion. It had several rugs, sofas and velvet chairs. Kurt might be admiring all those mobile who either wanted to have, but was too upset to enjoy them. He knew what would happen now: it was the time allowed for the tribute to say goodbye to their relatives and friends before heading to the Capitol. Kurt would just say goodbye to his father, since he was the only person he loved and was going to say goodbye.

Seconds later, his father entered the room. Kurt felt a pang.

"Dad." Kurt spoke to Burt. His arms wrapped the neck of his father and he buried his face in Burt's shoulder. He didn't stop the tears running down his face. After all, if that was the last time he could see his father, wouldn't mind crying at that time.

"Kurt." Burt stared at his son. "I want to listen to me, please. I never wanted you to be drawn in the Hunger Games. But I want you to show them what you can do. Just be yourself and promise to me that you will do everything to return."

"But..." Kurt stammered. "23 people will try to kill me, dad. And I never trained to deal with this sort of thing. And..." a tear trickled down the Kurt's face. "I don't know if I'll survive."

"I trust you, Kurt. I know you'll get beat. Even if you'll be the 10th to die, I'll be proud to you had work as much as you can."

Kurt couldn't imagine that the man with who he was talking about was his father. He never spoke that way with Kurt. It seemed that Burt had said that phrase for someone, but Kurt couldn't prove if it was true or not.

"I wanted to give something. You can take one thing from your District for the arena." Kurt's father put his hand inside his pocket and pulled out a toy. It was a Y-shaped branch and bound at their ends to the ends of a strap.

"My slingshot." Kurt whispered. Kurt had this sling since he was eight years old; his mother had given to him before she died. He always played to throw stones at recess at his school. His teachers considered him a good shot for a minor.

"I don't know if you know, but that slingshot was for your mother before she... Die." Burt looked at the sling. "She would like you to take it to the arena. It would... A good memory of it."

Kurt looked at the slingshot and picked it up. It was the only memory he had of his mother. Didn't know why, but thought it had to take it to the arena. Might help in any situation, but people would find strange if Kurt fighting in the Hunger Games with a simple slingshot.

"Yeah, I'll take it. And I promise to you dad, I'll survive." Kurt said sling and kept in the pocket of his jeans.

A Peacemaker entered the room, indicating that the time is up. Kurt hugged his father one last time, and allowed the image of his father to stay engraved in his mind.

"I love you dad." Kurt whispered.

"I love you Kurt." Burt whispered back. He left the room and the door was closed.

POV Quinn

Quinn sat on the velvet couch in the room that she was and heard footsteps approaching. She looked up and saw her family into the room, her father Russell, her mother Judy and her older sister Frannie.

"Quinnie!" Her mother came up and hugged her. "Oh my God, we are so..."

"Happy." Russell said smiling. "Quinn, we are so proud of you. Finally that day came. You will show all Panem who are the Fabray."

Quinn gave a small smile. The great dream of her father had done: one of her daughters would face the Hunger Games. Frannie wasn't so lucky like her sister, but Quinn didn't want to brag about it.

"Yes daddy." Quinn said.

"But we will miss you. And rooting for you." Judy said.

Quinn looked at her sister. She had been quiet all the time. She knew she needed to talk to her. Frannie was a copy of Quinn. Her blond hair was adorned with a red bow, her green eyes staring Quinn. The only thing different between the two was that Frannie had long hair, while Quinn's hair was halfway down his neck. Quinn went to Frannie and hugged her.

"Good luck sister." Frannie whispered. "You'll be fine"

"Dad will be upset if I don't survive." Quinn said quietly to her parents wouldn't listen.

"I know." Frannie said.

"Take care of them for me."

"Yes."

A Peacekeeper entered the room. It was time to say goodbye.

"Goodbye dear." Judy talked and kissed the forehead of Quinn. "We love you." The Fabray family left the room.
Two girls entered the room. Quinn immediately recognized them. One had white skin, black hair, brown eyes and wore a light blue dress. The other had a tanned skin, wavy red hair, blue eyes and wore a white shirt and gray skirt. They were friends of Quinn in school.

"Quinn!" The girl with red hair embraced the moment he entered the room. Her name was Agnes. "Are you okay?"

"Everyone at school was surprised when Mandy called your name." Melanie, the dark-haired, said.

"It was expected." Quinn said. They want me dead, she thought. It was too obvious. Only Melanie and Agnes were her friends. The rest of the college led to Quinn in the past. Previously, Quinn was not popular or pretty. She had red hair, freckles and was fat. She was bullied for several years until she decided to change the appearance to stop suffering.

"You don't need to worry, you know the rules of the Games and you have seen several past editions. You will win easily." Melanie said.

"But do you have any idea how to get public attention?" Agnes asked.

"I'll think better on the train. Maybe I'll get some sponsors." Quinn gave a small smile.

The same Peacekeeper entered the room again.

"You are my best friends. I'll miss you" Quinn said and the three friends had a group hug.

"We too Quinn." Agnes said and Melanie and she left the room.

POV Kurt

Kurt has led the Justice Building to the train station. He never been on a train, but have heard many experiences of people of District 1. The station was full of reporters, cameras directed to film every step of Kurt. He never imagined that, despite having repeatedly imagined would be like a famous life. Now he realized how people hate the paparazzi.

Kurt found Quinn in the station. They had to stand for a few minutes to reporters film the "possible" last time they set their foot in District 1. Once finished, the entrance of the train was released to Kurt and Quinn enter. The doors closed and the train went into high gear. At first, Kurt thought it would be sick. The train was shaking so much that Kurt's stomach hurt. He had to hold to avoid falling.

"Your strategy will not work." A female voice spoke. Kurt turned his head and saw that Quinn Fabray was talking to him.

"Strategy?" Kurt asked confused.

"You cried. Your eyes are red."

Kurt just remembered that he cried when he left his father. He rubbed his hand in his eye.

"You will not get the fulfillment of all pretending to be poor." Quinn said.

"I'm not pretending."

"Please." Quinn laughed. "A bad reputation is better than no reputation at all."

What does she mean by that? Quinn gave a hint to Kurt how she would act in the arena? Having a bad reputation? No, Quinn wouldn't be so stupid to give your play before the Games begin.

Mandy Muller appeared and called to the dining car for lunch. Kurt didn't know whether he would be able to put something in the stomach at the time, but when the smell of food invaded his nostrils to reach the dining car, his mind quickly changed the idea. Mandy pointed to a table and sat down. Then came a group of waiters with trays of many different types of food: soup, pasta, vegetables, meat... Kurt never eaten so much in his life.

Mandy looked at his left wrist, where she wore a gold watch.

"Oh! How wonderful! It will start The Reaping of all the Districts!" She took control of his pocket and pressed a button and a TV appeared.

The first Reaping to be transmitted was obviously of the District 1. Kurt felt his face blush when he heard his name called. This was transmtting to on all Panem televisions. Kurt watched the faces in all the other competitors. A high-fat boy from District 10. A girl who volunteered in place of a little girl of 12 years from District 2. An Asian boy from District 4. And the person that drew Kurt attention: a boy with height 5'8'', dark brown hair and hazel eyes from District 12. He was a pretty boy to live in a district as poor as 12. Wait, pretty? Kurt found that boy pretty? No, he couldn't think this. That guy would be his enemy. He would kill Kurt so he stepped in the arena.
Kurt was afraid that this feeling could hurt him in the Hunger Games.
