Hey guys! I have a holiday! I'm so happy right now, because I'm going skiing in Germany for the coming week. This means that from Friday until Friday, there will be NO updates on House of Hunger Games and Once Upon An Anubis!

The commenting is going really slow! Please show this to friends or anything, because without comments, some parts will get really boring because I don't know what to do!

I want to thank ninathechosen19 for commenting on every chapter until now, and helping me with the storyline, because I really got stuck with the weapons and everything, because I don't want an almost exact copy of the Hunger Games, but a twist will come, I promise!

Sorry for the long A/N!

Nina's POV

"Hey Nina, you're not afraid of a bit of fire, are you?" Cinna asked me. That's an odd question to ask. "Yes, it burns." I said. What? Fire does burn. Cinna started walking around me, and measuring my sizes and said goodbye. He walked away. Effie came in and took me to a big builing, where, to my relieve, I saw Fabian waiting together with Haymitch.

"Effie, that took a while, we've been waiting for hours." Haymitch said, he sounded drunk. Will that man ever stop drinking? "Hey Nins, how was it?" Fabian asked me. "Well, it hurts, but I got through it alive, well, half alive then." Fabian smiled at me. I will seriously never, ever, stop loving his smile.

"Here we are, the penthouse on the 12th floor. Nina, your room is at the end of the hallway, Fabian, yours is opposite of hers. Go and look in your rooms, and we will see you here in one hour for dinner and we will discuss what you're going to do with the practises that start tomorrow." Effie said. I couldn't wait to get to the room, I bet it would be different than the ones at homes. I have never been so wrong, because when I came in, the room looked exactly like the one in Anubis House. "This has got to be a joke!" I heard Fabian say from his room. "Nina, does your room also look exactly like the one at home?" He asked me. "Yeah, it does." I responded. I walked into the room, sagging through my knees at the sight of Ambers bed. Amber, the girl who actually got chosen, and the reason why I'm here. I really miss her. I wished she was here to give me a speech, which would probably be something like Make sure you go down with beauty, dignity and more beauty. No matter what happens. Normally, I would not be encouraged by this, but now, it's all that I want.

At dinner, Effie told us loads of stuff about the practises tomorrow. But didn't really listen, I was thinking about the room, the house, the games. When we finished, Fabian and I walked towards our rooms. "Fabian, what did Effie actually say? I wasn't really paying attention." I said to him. "Something about not showing our best points, and presenting us as worthy candidates, I think. Wasn't really paying attention too." He said. He was probably just as distracted as me. "Sweet dreams, Nins." "Sweet dreams."

Fabian's POV

"Wake up! Wake up! You're going to be late for practice!" Effie screamed. Practice! I got out of bed, and put on the suit Effie had put on my chair. It's really tight, but kind of comfortable. Kind of. I quickly ran to the table and took a sandwich and ran down to the practising room, I came in last. Great first impression Fabian, good job. "Fabian, wanted to join us to?" I woman said, she's probably the leader.. teacher? I quickly sat down next to Nina, and the woman started explaining.

"There aren't many rules in here, but here are the main rules, if you don't follow them, you will be punished. Here are the rules: No harming the other tributes, no abuse of the weapons and things here and the most important one, if you kill one of the other tributes here, your end will come too. Understood? Then let's begin, and may the odds be ever in your favour.

Every tribute started walking towards all kinds of attributes, and I had no idea where to go. I saw that Nina went to the bow and arrow, but I'm not going to follow her. In the arena, we will be on our own too. I'll just go to an empty one. The sword fighting is empty, so let's go there.

"You have talent, Mr. Rutter. The sword will help you in the arena, but only if you manage to get one." Mr. Clarence said o me. I guess I can work a sword, but I think that this is not enough.

Nina's POV

Well, Fabian has found his weapon, let's see if I can handle the bow and arrow. At the bow and arrow station, an old woman looked at me. She is probably the guide. "Welcome, I guess you want to try out the bow and arrow?" She asked me. "Yeah, I haven't really got experience with weapons." The woman gave me a bow and an arrow and told me to shoot at the dummy. I pointed the arrow and the dummy, took a deep breath and shot. I hit it right in the heart. "Good, good. Now try to hit the head." I took another arrow and pointed at the head of the dummy and shot. It was a hit, but not in the bulls eye like last time, but still deadly. This could really work! I stayed at the bow and arrow for a while, but now I'm going to try making traps for animals, and maybe people. The man at the traps looked happy when he saw me arrive. "Yay. Someone decided to come here. You know, traps isn't the most popular section of all." The man taught me some easy knots, to get some rabbits and other small animals, and one where you can hang someone on one leg. It was very useful.

Then I heard something fall. I saw that Cato had pushed Fabian against a rack with knifes. All the knifes fell onto the ground, and so did Fabian. "Don't annoy me, 12. I'll get you in the arena, and that little girlfriend of you too." Cato said to Fabian. He is not a nice guy. I saw Fabian turning red and looking angry. As Cato and the girl from his district walked away, Fabian got up and walked toward Cato, grabbing him by his arm and throwing him on the ground. Then Fabian walked away.

That night at dinner, Effie gave Fabian a whole speech about not attacking the other tributes. "Fabian, this is not good. For you, for Nina, for me!" Effie yelled. "Effie, relax. I'm sure he deserved it." Haymitch said, trying to calm Effie down, but she ran away, almost crying. Is she really crying, or just a good actress? "Okay, I guess I just have to say this. Tomorrow morning you will meet with you stylists, and they will make you ready for the parade. Now go get some sleep, because after the parade, you will practice with me or Effie for the interviews for the day after. With Effie, you will practice your looks and with me, the answers to the questions. Go sleep." Fabian and I went to bed, knowing that the next day, we will find out what Cinna meant with not being afraid of a little bit of fire.

Will be continued...

The parade will come in the next chapter, pinkie promise! But here's the question...

Which Anubis House resident will play a big part in the secret of the games? Sorry for some questions being like really easy to guess, but in the next chapter not much will be going on, and this is a part that I already planned and I know you're going to love it!
