Katniss P.O.V
The peacekeepers lead us to our rooms once we enter the justice building. The first person to enter is my mom and Prim. Prim hugs me immediately and says "You have to win. For me. I love you Katniss. You're very strong you can do it." Then I hug my
mom.
"I'll try if you try." She says and I know in that moment that I have to win. We all get in our last hugs and kisses before the peacekeepers come in and tells us that's is time for them to go. Prim is crying and my mom is silent. Then Gale came in...
/"Your strong, fast, flexible, and your good with a bow. Use that to your advantage. I believe in you. Make us proud." Then he looks at me and gives me a hug. Then the peacekeepers walk in. "Don't forget our pact." I yell as he gets dragged out. Then
/Mr. Mellark walks in and gives me a bag of my favorite cookies and cheese buns. I can tell he's been crying. Then he says "Good luck, I know you can win." Then he pats me on the shoulder and walks out. I'm almost crying now. Almost. Then my best friend
/Madge comes in and says "This was mine but it is now yours for good luck." She cries and hugs me then she walks out. Then about thirty seconds later... Peeta comes in crying like crazy. He's making it so hard for me to not cry. The first thing he
/does is ask me if I'm ok. "Are you ok my pretty flower?" "Yes and no. I'm scared." "I know you're scared but you're a fighter and I believe in you. Pretend as if Prim was with you. You would do anything to protect her right?" "Right." "You have a
/special fire about you Katniss. And that spark is coming alive. Every time you feel alone or scared, just lock at your locket and the promise ring I gave you to know I'm always there." We just stare deeply at each other then we kiss passionately.
/I really don't believe people when they tell Peeta and I that we're to young to know what love is. Can you explain this then. That's when the stupid peacekeepers decided to come in and ruin everything. They tell him it's time to go and pull him out.
/I have no more visitors so they lead both me and Samuel to the train station where there are a million pictures being taken. When we get on the train we both look mesmerized then we sit down as Effie goes to get Haymitch.
5 mins later
Haymitch comes out staggering and drunk. Then he looks at us and comes to sit down but stumbles as he does. So he just continues to stare at us until I think about my Peeta skills and what he would do. "Hello Haymitch. I'm Katniss Everdeen." Then
Samuel
introduces himself. "Hey I'm Samuel Evanston. But you can call me Sam." "So are we going to talk about the games?" I ask. "Woah there Sweetheart. I've never had someone so determine before. Slow down let me get over my hangover first."
Back In District 12
Peeta's P.O.V
I can't believe this has happened. The love of my life is going to be in the Hunger Games. I told her to not take any extra food or supplies from them. But I understand. I'm just so scared and heartbroken. But I will keep my promise and take care
of her
mom and Prim. And I won't cry. I know she would want me to stay strong. So I've decided to meet up with Gale later on today to go hunting and go to the black market for them. Right now I'm just grieving with mine and Katniss' families. I wonder how
/come Gale isn't here now. I'm hugging Prim and her mom really tight right now.
Back On The Train
Katniss P.O.V
"Um ok. But while you do that, can we explore the train and freshen up?" I say/ask in response to what Haymitch. Then we go our separate ways to explore the train. Afterwards, we get taken to ours rooms to shower and get changed before dinner. I get
in
the shower and I'm so confused. There are so many buttons. So I turn it on hot and press the rose-lemon scented botton and it smells so good. After 30 mins I got out the shower dried of and put on some lotion that went with the soap I was using. Then
/to impress everyone on and off the train, I put on a white dress with a black band around the waste. And I left my hair down in its curly I look at the time and realize that I still have a bit of time beforedinner to do other things.
So I go in the "living room" and watch all the reapings. The only ones that stand out to me is the tributes from districts 1, 2, 4, and a girl from district 8. The girl from district 1 is very beautiful with long blonde hair and hazel eyes. She is 16
/and 5'6. She looks feisty and ready to go. Her name is Jewels Fabray. And her partner Alec, is no less scary. He is 6'2 with his black hair, intimidating reddish-brown eyes, bulging muscles, and his mean expression, he looks really scary. He is 18
/years old. Then in district 2, man do they look scary. If I thought district 1 was bad, I got another thing comin. The girl had what social studies books calls Latina roots. She is very beautiful. She is 5'6 16 year old with long, raven-colored hair,
/brown eyes, and a mischievous smirk with a deadly look in her eyes. Her name is Santana Lopez. Her partner Noah Puckermam is a 6'0, 16 year old with a dark brown mohawk on top of his head. He is really muscular and has pretty hazel eyes with an evil
/smirk on his face. And just like Santana has a deadly look in his eyes. Then in district 4 is another pretty blonde but she has pretty blue eyes. She is tall, 5'8. She is also 16. She looks so sweet and innocent. But if you look closer her eyes tell
/a different story. Her name is Brittany S. Pierce. Her partner is named Tyler Lockwood. He is about 6'1 and has black hair. He has some muscle and his eyes are deep brown. He is 18 years old and it looks like he's out for blood. Then everyone else
/goes by in a blur. Then it gets to district 8. There's an 18 year old girl who's name is Octavia Blake. She is really pretty. She has brunette hair, brown eyes, and a determined face. She is also 5'7 with a bit of muscle. Her partner and the rest
/of them just go by in a blur. Then it gets to me. Every thing happens again and I get heartbroken. I look so weak and innocent. I look so fragile. But I do look determine and strong. If there is one good thing, I don't look bony. I have a bit of meat
/on me. I'm the shortest tribute going into this years games. I'm only 5'4. My grey eyes looked glossy and strong. And I stoo straight up. I stop paying attention after that. That's when I notice Sam siting right beside me. He's been crying. So I scoot
/over to comfort him. I'm going to stay strong. For him, my family, my district, and for myself. He just cries into my arms and I let him. "I'm sor-." "Shhhh." I cut him off softly. "It's ok. Your ok." I continue to coo softly. He should be fine. He's
/really good at wrestling. "Katniss, Sam, it's time for dinner." Effie calls out to us in that annoying capital accent. We get up carefully and go to the dinner table.
"Now that I'm sober sweetheart, I can finally help you guys out. But after dinner and after everything gets cleaned." "Great." Sam says. We eat dinner and it was delicious. I say thank you and wipe my mouth. Effie smiles and says, "You're very welcome
/Katniss. You're such a lady." "Thank you." I say while blushing. "We will be arriving in 30 mins." Effie says.
With Haymitch
"This should be a 20 min conversation." "Alright. I don't really think you guys will wi-" bang! I cut him off by slicing a knife in between his fingers. "Uhhh! That is MAHOGANY!" "Look at you. You just killed a placemat." He says as he picks it out.
/"Now, a way to get shelter, or water, or even a simple match, comes from sponsors. And do you know how to get sponsors? You get people to like you." I kind of slump my shoulders down. I mean I'm pretty good at getting people to like me but... "Wasn't
/expecting that were you sweetheart?" "I can get people to like me. You were just being a bad mentor. And I'm not up for that. I promised everyone that I love that I would try my best to make it back. Especially my little sister and my boyfriend. And
/I'd be damned if I lose because of a DEAD BEAT MENTOR!" "Ok you're a feisty one sweetheart. Use that to your advantage. Do you guys have any special talents I should know about?" "I mean I'm pretty good at hand to hand combat. I was on the wrestling
/team." "And I'm ok at hand to hand combat. My boyfriend is on the wrestling team also. So I learned some stuff from him too. And I'm good at archery and knife throwing. Oh yeah, I'm also good with plants and stuff like that." "Ok, great. Show me your
/knife throwing skills since you like to kill placemats." I throw a knife between two pictures and it lands straight in the middle. "Ok that's just from luck. Do it nine more times in the same spot." So I go get the knife and I hit it each time. "Wow.
/That's impressive." Haymitch and Sam says at the same time. "Thanks." I say while blushing. I'm shocked myself. I've gotten better. Thank you Peeta and Gale.
Once I get done brushing my teeth I check myself in the mirror to make sure I look more than presentable. Once I'm satisfied with my look, I go out the room and see we are arriving. I see all the people and think about how to get sponsors and what Peeta
/would do. So I whip out one of my best smiles and I make sure it reaches my eyes too. And I wave very "excitedly" to the crowd. Once the train stops, we get out on a platform. I make sure to keep my smiles on because there are a lot of pictures being
/taken. I also keep waving and blowing kisses because it makes the crowd even more pumped up. I'm kind of enjoying this. They love me.
