I sat there waiting in silence.

I replayed what my mother had said in my mind over and over again.

She's a fighter. That one is.

She.

This was all very confusing for me.

I was always under the impression that my mother loathed anyone from that part of town. What would make her want to have faith in them now?

I pondered this until the door opened again. I wasn't expecting any more visitors. I looked up, confused. When I saw who it was.

I was even more confused.

It was Gale.

What on earth could he be doing here?

He walked into the room and looked around, nervously.

He didn't say anything.

So I waited.

Then, finally, he cleared his throat and began,

"You'll take care of her. Right?"

Ah, now I know what this visit is about.

"Of course." I say, "Only one of us can come out, and I plan on it being her."

He didn't say anything.

We just stood there, in silence, until he clears his throat again.

"Can, you, uh give this to her?" he asks as he pulls a folded piece of paper out of his pocket.

"No problem." I say as I take the note and put it into my pocket.

"Would you also take this? As you district token?" he asks pulling out a rather dull arrowhead. "If you guys team up or something, it would be a way to let her know she can trust you."

I take it and look at it.

I have never seen one before.

"Of course." I say.

Then the peacekeeper comes and takes him away.

I have a few moments to compose my self before I am escorted to the train station.

I look back on the events of today. Hard to believe just hours ago I was decorating cakes.

Now I wonder who is going to continue them. Now one else has the art skills like I do.

I also wonder why my brothers didn't come and say goodbye.

Oh well.

To late for that now.

All to soon, the peacekeepers come and take me to the train station.

When I'm at the train platform, I feel overwhelmed as all the people and the cameras get closer and closer to us.

When I'm sure I'm about to pass out from all of this the peacekeepers let us get on the train.

I am taken aback by the sheer luxury of it all.

Everything in the compartment looks so rich and elegant.

The colors are rich and deep.

I try to imagine what colors I would have to mix to get these.

I cannot.

Then the train takes off and my breath is taken away, it's so fast.

But it looks like nothing inside the train is affected by the speed.

Katniss and I just stand there awkwardly for a bit until a Capitol attendant shows us to out living quarters.

Again, the beauty of it all takes me aback.

I run my hand over my bed spread.

It feels soft and warm.

The floors appear to be made of some sort of wood.

They are dark and rich.

I sit down and feel calm for the first time today.

I then remember the note in my pocket.

I pull it out and look at it, tempted to read.

But I don't.

I wonder when I will get a chance to give it to her.

Or even explain how I got it.

Do I show her my token now?

Or later if we do ever team up in the Games?

Would she even want to team up?

My mind is soon filled with questions. I

lie back in my bed and wince slightly.

My head is still sore from when my mother hit me.

I smile slightly.

Why I don't know.
