I had completely forgot to mention this in the past chapters. I do not own ANYTHING Hunger Games, apart from my characters and ideas. This is a mix between the movie and books, but more so movie. Enjoy. A huge thank you to Ayrpluto72 for favouriting and adding this to her alert list. Another huge thank you to Buzooka Zooka, DarkShadow978, MissAmazing101, nevershoutalex8, Stjarna10 and SadieKaneNico39 for also alerting this and following :) I would suggest checking out Ayrpluto72's stories, they may not be Hunger Games but they are a very good read. So enjoy.

Meredith led Collin and I towards the train which was waiting for us at the station. Colin looked white as a sheet and his eyes were all puffy and red. I gave him a sympathetic look as we made our way past the crowds of people trying to get a good look at us. I let Collin onto the train first before following him and Meredith climbing on behind us shutting the door.

The slam of the door made Collin jump, I placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked at me with his big brown eyes. He seemed to calm down as he gazed into my gentle eyes. This poor kid had his whole life ahead of him and his luck ran out when his name was pulled out of the glass bowl where his name was entered ONE time. Of all the names that could have been picked.

"Here we are, this is the train that will take us directly to the Capitol. Just take a look at it's magnificence!" She gushed as she guided us in. "Now if you would kindly wait here while I go get Finnick. He should be around here somewhere."

We were soon left alone in the compartment. I turned round and saw Colin curled up on the chair looking glumly out the window as we started moving. His eyes were filled with sadness and I understood. I knew Collin from around the District and he lived in a poor family on the outskirts of the small town we called home. He too went to Career training but hasn't had much. I walked over and sat across from him he didn't look at me but I knew, he knew I was there.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked him quietly leaning on my knees. "You're gonna be okay Collin. You're a tough kid, I know you are. Stay strong...we'll get through this alright?"

I heard a swish noise and turned my head round to see Finnick and Mags standing in the doorway. Like I said before, they were past victors and not to be messed with, with any luck they could provide us with the information we need to win this thing and go home.

"Well, well, well" Finnick began walking over to us. "District 4's tributes...hmmm" he eyed us each up and down individually checking us out to see if we were victor material. "What's wrong with him?" He asked pointing at Collin.

"He's nervous and misses his family..."I began. I thought I should stop there. Finnick took the empty seat next to me and Mags, next to Collin who shrugged into the corner of his seat.

"Right, let's get this underway. You've seen these games, they're not easy, which is why we've been picked to help you in any way that we can before the Games start. So...let's get you're strengths sorted out first...let's start with you missy."

"My name is Allie, umm I'm a quick runner, good swimmer and have good aim, I can throw a trident, daggers, I'm nimble..." I started.

"That's good." Mags spoke for the first time.
"We can work with all of those attributes. What about you?" Finnick asked Collin, who looked at the two in shock.

"I can swim..." he began really slowly.

"He's really fast." I replied for him and he looked at me. "In school he can outrun the other boys, despite him being only 12." Looking at Collin, I knew that I had to stand up for him because he sure as hell wasn't going to do it on his own.

"Nice. That'll help at the Cornacopia, and we can assess what your abilities are during training." Finnick said from his spot beside me. I heard the door open again and out came Meredith in all her glory.

"Hello Finnick, Mags, I was just looking for you. But it seems you've already gotten yourselves aquainted with our tributes this year."

"Yea, I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. Now do you know much about sponsers? No?" Finnick proceeded to ask his.

"I know they can send you things to you in the Games." Collin said, coming out of his shell.

"That's it Colin!" Finnick smiled. "If you wanna get stuff from these sponsors, you'll need to be liked. Now what I did, I charmed my way into getting sponsors, just be yourselves and people will love you. Collin, they'll love your shy personality and vulnerability, Allie, they'll love you because you're so nice and a sweetheart. They'll wanna see you both survive. So have faith in me and Mags, we can do some work in getting you sponsors but the rest is up to you."

I was gonna have to keep smiling? How was I gonna do that when I can only feel fear that in a few days I may be going into an arena and never coming out again?! I really need Jake and my family right now...come to think of it...Jake didn't show up to say goodbye. I may never see him again and the last thing I said to him was me snapping at him about Aaron's death. My hand subconciously went to the necklace Sally gave me before I came here.

I was scared, scared I was gonna die, but I wasn't going to let stop me from doing the best I can. I was soon ripped from my thoughts by Meredith announcing:

"Who would like some breakfast?"

"I would love some breakfast, what about you kids? Let's go." Mags smiled at us getting up and slowly making her way to the sliding door from wence they came earlier. Collin followed in delight of getting a decent breakfast. One last look out the window and I followed them into the cabin.

The meal was super, there were different types of bread, there was ham, cheese, jam, juice, hot chocolate, cereal, the works. I couldn't say anything before digging in, Collin already had stacks of pancakes on his plate drenched in maple syrup. At least this was the one good thing we could enjoy together before facing hell.
