Disclaimer: Surprise! I'm not Suzanne Collins! What you knew that already? You knew that I obviously am some amateur posing with her work? Oh guess I'm not fooling anyone. Anyway I do not own the hunger games or am in any way associated with Suzanne Collins and her masterpiece. Buttttttttt the characters and specific details of the story are mine.

The Train

The peacemaker dragged me out of the room. He had claimed he didn't know why anyone would want to see a worthless traitor like me. I grimaced at the memory his choice of words were a bit harsher. I stared at my district it was beautiful I wont deny that. But the most beautiful things are the most deadly. Lightning is beautiful as is fire yet they kill constantly. That is how I think of district one lethal yet beautiful.

I boarded the train glaring at everyone who dared to look at me. The boy Adam now showed no resemblance to the panicked guy I saw before. He looked like your average District one boy tribute strong, arrogant, and someone I just want to punch really hard in the face. I wondered what our relationship would be like would he be alright after all? After about an hour of riding on this stupid train we stopped. At this I broke down laughing I couldn't stop. It just showed how screwed up the capitol could be. They do screw up sometimes, and when my train doesn't show up everyone will know. That's when my good 'friend' the peacekeeper came in. Yes the very one that slapped me in the face. "I have been told to inform you that there has been a slight change of plans." He said this with a smile on his face. All I wanted to do was punch that smile off his face. But one thing was obvious, if he liked these change of plans I sure wouldn't. "To make the experience more interesting we will be taking only one train to the Capitol. You will be sharing the ride with all of the other districts. This is why the train is especially big. We are currently waiting for district Two to board the train." He flashed an evil grin at me.

This about when I broke out into another fit of hysterics. They wanted to bring other tributes on the train then fine! It'll just give me more sane people to talk to. I especially liked my 'friend's' reaction to my reaction. Anger spread on his face. It started at his neck and spread through his face. He raised his hand again to hit me. I expected this and rolled on the floor to dodge him. Jumping up behind him I delivered a quick kick to his special spot. He fell to the floor in a fit of agony. Smiling I couldn't control myself I delivered another punch or two. And just for good measure a kick to the face. Leaning down I whispered in his ear. "Yeah I'm against the Capitol; I'm against dirty filthy people like you. But guess what? I know how to fight and obviously I can do a pretty bang up job don't you think?"

I laughed and walked away from the withering body on the floor. Just then a hand grabbed my shoulder. I screamed as I was pulled into a different room. I looked up in fear to see Adam covering my mouth. His eyes were wild and his face was angry. "How could you?" he hissed angrily in my ear. "I thought you were different. I thought you were against all of this!" he waved his hand around indicating the train. As much as I wanted to tell Adam that I was different I needed t breathe. He was still holding my mouth and nose and I bit down on his hand. He yelled and jumped back. I threw my weight against him and pushed him against the wall. Putting my hand on his throat I whispered in his ear. "Listen I am different I am against this. But I need to survive." I had meant for that to come out fierce and strong but it sounded more like a plea for help. "I want to do this for the resistance for the future. I'm going to die out there Adam I'm giving myself up for this!" I said this all in a hushed voice. Adam shook his head angrily. "What the hell will dying do? Nothing! Dying won't fix anything! You want to be some kind of martyr? Well stop trying your not the only one who wants to fix things. You think I want my baby brother in these games? You think I want to watch my sister kill people…or be killed?" he chocked out these words his face full with vulnerability. It didn't last long his straight face returned.

" I'm in this just as much as you are but I want to take down the capitol not pretend to be some hero and kill myself out of fear." He glared at me as he spat these words out. Confused I lessened my grip against him. Taking advantage of this he threw my hand away and ran out of the room. I watched him go in frustration. Fear? I wasn't scared that was the whole point in dying so I didn't have to be scared. I wanted to bring down the capitol, avenge my father. I wanted to make them pay and Adam was right if I died I wouldn't be hurting them but those who I love. I wouldn't die I wouldn't give them the satisfaction. There not taking me away well not without a fight anyway.

I got up off the floor but fell back down when the train suddenly stopped. District two was boarding the train ready to fight.

They'd get a fight from me from the resistance.
