First, I want to thank my two awesome reviewers for reviewing and liking the story. Second, guys, something really good happens in this chapter. Can you guess what it is ;) Oh well, I'm not going to spoil the surprise.

I could see the tears in Annie's eyes. Her mother screaming. Win's family bawling like babies. Win was a skinny twelve year old and kind of looked like Annie. There is NO way they are going to win.
ANNIE'S P.O.V
I am trying to process this in my mind now. I just got reaped. I just got reaped. I just-
"Oh, Annie! Why? Why does this have to happen?" My mother enters the room with her puffy eyes.
"Mom, everyone knows I'm going to die anyways," I say. Mother starts crying again. My father enters in the room, carrying my little sister, Aila, while they both cry silently.
"Time's up," A peacekeeper says and drags my whole family out. Aila is screaming. Dad and mom don't say anything, just are stiff. Nobody comes and sees me after. I guess, I have no friends. Finnick would come and see me, but he's my mentor. That was probably the last time I'd see my family.
LATER
"Annie?" Finnick comes and looks out the windows of the train with me.
"Yeah," I say in a sad voice.
"Win's feeling a bit down. You mind if you go talk to him? I tried but… he refused to talk to me," Finnick says. I nod and walk over to Win. His head on the table.
"Win?" I say.
"What?" He asks. I decided not to talk about the hunger games. I talk about the capitol and the delicious foods, the beautiful bedrooms.
"How do you know all this stuff? It's not like you were a victor last year," says Win.
"Oh, I know, but I have heard about it," I say. I pat his back.
"Do they have…?" He pauses for a moment. "Meat Stew?" He asks. I giggle.
"Of course, Win! They have anything you could ask for," I say. Win smiles. He's pretty skinny, like me. His family must not be rich, I'm guessing. Suddenly, Win starts humming a song. The humming soon turns to words.
Work day is done, let's go out in the sun, let's go out in the sun and Play.
Work day is done, now we can have some fun; let's go out in the sun and Play.
We worked hard, now we get our reward; let's go out in the sun and play.
"That was beautiful," I murmur. Win smiles.
"Back home, when my dad came home from work, he used to sing this song. He taught it to me and my sister, Merella," Win says.
"Merella. What a beautiful name, "I say. Win nods.
"Can I have some time to myself, please?" Win asks. I nod and make my way to my room. Finnick and Mags knocks on the door.
"You may come in," I say. Finnick and Mags smile.
"Thank you," Mags says. I nod.
"Win is a good boy, and he sang this beautiful song for me," I say.
"Mags, can I talk to Annie alone for a second?" Finnick asks. I blush. Mags nods, and walks out of the room.
"How did you do that?" Finnick asks.
"I don't know. It's easier with a little sister," I say. Finnick adores Aila. He always plays with her.
"Can you sing that song?" Finnick asks.
"What son- Oh! You mean the song Win sang? I mean… I could but…"
"Please?" I gulp. I start singing. I could remember everything.
Work day is done, let's go out in the sun, let's go out in the sun and Play.
Work day is done, now we can have some fun; let's go out in the sun and Play.
We worked hard, now we get our reward; let's go out in the sun and play.
"You have a beautiful voice," Finnick says. I smile. Finnick moves a bit closer to me. Our lips are inches away. Our heads are touching together.
"Finn! Annie! Dinner's ready! C'mon now, Win's already at the table," Mags says entering the room. Finnick murmurs something as we walk out the room. I feel something soft on my hands. I look down, Finnick's hands are holding my hands.
See what I did there? :D. Just wait for the next chapter, guys.
