Castor ran down the hall and into his room. I followed quickly after. The doors open automatically and I gasp at the site. A huge bed with silk sheets laid in the middle of the room. On the other side was a huge closet and a bathroom. I walked over to the bed where an outfit sat waiting for me. It was a simple white t-shirt and Black leggings. I took it into the bathroom and set it onto the counter. I unzipped my dress and let it fall to the floor. Once I was completely naked, I stepped into the shower. It was so much different. Dozens of settings, soaps, and temperatures lined the walls. I chose a rain like stream and citrus smelling soap. We've only been on the train for half an hour and I'm already missing my family. My mind wondered. Thinking about Breezy, my parents, my home. Tears started cascading down my cheeks as the shock of the reaping disappeared leaving fear and sorrow in its wake. "Come on Brizo, stop crying." I whispered. I decided that all my tears will go down the drain with the lemony suds. No more crying over this. Leaning against the wall, I accidentally hit a button making the water freezing cold. "AH!" A yelped as the Icey droplets shot out of the shower head.

"Brizo, is everything alright?" A heard out in the hall. A voice that could only belong to the one and only Finnick Odair. "Um...ya, sorry. I accidentally hit a botton for cold jets." I started laughing at myself. I heard a quiet laugh come from him before he said "Those showers can be pretty tricky the first time. When your done, Mayella ordered a light lunch." I told him I'd be there in a few minutes and he retreated back to the lounge car.

I put on the White shirt and black leggings, leaving my hair down. As a walked back to the dinning car I heard laughing. "Oh, Hey Brizo. We were just talking about you." Finnick said smiling. "You didn't!" I gasped. "I so did!" Finnick started giggling like 12 year old girl. Blush started dusting on my cheeks. I sat down across from Mags and Finnick, Castor to my left. Mayella sat at the head of the table. "It's okay hun, you aren't the first tribute to have trouble with them." I was grateful for Mayellas comment.

"Brizo" Said Finnick.

"Ya" I replied.

"Brizo"

"Ya"

"Brizo, Brizo, Brizo Monty."

"Yes Finnick!"

"I feel like I've heard that somewhere.." he wore a look of concentration.

I sighed. "I'm named after the Goddess that protected sailors and fisherman while out at sea."

" of course, of course but even your last name sounds familiar..." Finnick Said.

I put my head down some. " You-you were my brothers mentor.." The room grew silent for a second. "Ya, I remember him. He was a good kid. He talked about you a lot, said he had to win for his little sister. I admired how much he cared for his family. I'm sorry." I looked up from my lap to see everyone looking at me sympathetically. I met Finnick's green eyes with my brown ones. "Thank you, really, but it wasn't your fault. He was great though." I smiled remembering something. "When I was younger, Wade would take me to a special spot near the ocean. The sand dunes were untouched and the gulls laid their eggs in the sea grass. We would sit for hours listening to the rhythmic waves. We were only 3 years apart. Best friends. I was a lot different from him though. He had lots of friends, very attractive for his age, and always happy." I signed. " He tried to get me to 'live a Little' I wish I would have listened to him." I forgot I was talking to a room of people. I blushed slightly and apologized. " Don't apologize, it was a nice story." Finnick smiles at me. Mags just gave a nod.

About this time Avoxes came in carrying little trays of petite sandwiches and fresh fruit. Everyone dug in. "So Castor, what can you do?" Finnick asked as Mags nodded. "Well, I'm not old enough to work on the ships yet, but I'm a great swimmer and I can use a knife. My parents own the fish market so I get stuck with gutting them." Castor said. He shouldn't be here. He's only 12. The scary thing is that he's happy to be here. "What about you Brizo? Any hidden talents." "Well my father owns a fishing boat so I've made nets and used tridents and harpoons since I could pick one up. I love to paint, so maybe camouflage could be a strategy." I shrugged.

Finnick seemed quite pleased with our experiences. After lunch I explored the train. At the very end I found a car full of windows and one big seat across it. Sitting down I starred out the window watching the districts go by. After about 15 minutes of peace, I heard the door slide open. "How are you?" Finnick asked as he sat down a few feet from me. "Okay... kinda nervous." I replied still looking out the window. "That's normal, hey.. at lunch you said that your brother told you to live a little.You said you wished you'd have listened. What did you mean?" I looked up at him. I didn't really know how to answer. I have so many things I wished I would have done before now. Before it was to late. "Everything.." I spoke barley above a whisper.

He looked at me curiously. "Everything?" He repeated. "Like what?" Where do I start.

"Well... I don't have any friends, I've never drank, I've never fell in love, I haven't even graduated high school.." by the time I was finished I had tears in my eyes. I'll never be able to accomplish any of this. I laughed. "I've never even kissed anyone!"

Finnick just starred at me, thinking. "Well we have a few days till the games.. how about we accomplish some of those." He said like a light bulb went off in his head. " Brizo I'm your friend now so you can mark that one off, hmmm... let me think, oh!" He grabbed my cheek,swiftly and sweetly he placed a gently kiss to my lips. He smiled "There, two things down. We've got a lot more fun ahead of us!" And with that he left. Oh my.. I thought. Finnick Odair helping me complete my bucket list...

Second chapter finished! I kinda got more on track with were I'm going in this chapter! Thanks Radio Free Death for the constructive feedback. Please review and tell me what you want Brizo and Finnick to complete before the games. Their relationship is more of a friendly than a romantic type. Hopefully soon this story gets started up and my vision is shown. Happy Reading! ~peace~

P.s: no one volunteered because most volunteers come from districts one and two. Just letting you know where I came from.
