I got on the train. Emily was crying, my dad barely holding on to his tears and my mother looked so pale. I was so scared. When I was little the Hunting games was broadcast throughout the day. I was forced to watch helpless people die. The Gamemasters were always so cruel. Each day the player numbers shrunk and now I have to go through it too. I'd have to watch people die. The train started to move I waved good-bye and started to cry in Matt's arms.
"Don't cry, we'll be alright." I hugged Matt tight. Then we heard footsteps.
"Hey guys, I'm Katniss from City 12." A girl around maybe 16 came in.
"Hi, I'm Kristi from City 9. This is Matt…"
"Hiyah." Katniss seemed nice. Then it hit me we really should make alliances. I was about to ask Katniss but a boy walked in and gave Katniss a hug.
"Hey guys, I'm Peeta."
"Hi, I'm Kristi"
"I'm Matt."
"Peeta what are you doing here?" Katniss asked.
"To see you beautiful." I kinda guessed that they were together.
"Matt don't you think we should make friends with them and hold an alliance?"I whispered while Katniss and Peeta were busy flirting.
"Maybe we should…" I got up and walked to Katniss.
"Do you want to be in an alliance with me and Matt?"
"Well, what do you think Peeta?"
"I think it's a really good idea." Of course he thinks it's a good idea if he really didn't have a choice…. I suddenly felt really tired and wanted to sleep. There were four beds in our cabin and we invited Katniss and Peeta to stay with us but I guess they wanted to go back to theirs. I walked over to Matt's bed and crawled in with him.
"Hey baby. Lonely?"
"Yes." I was on top of him. My head resting on his chest. He was so muscular. I touched his face.
"Matt, have you ever thought of the future?"
"Yes, I have."
"What do you see?"
"Me, you and our children."
"Matt, what if we don't make it. What if we…" I stopped talking. It really upset Matt.
"Kristi, you listen to me. Even if I may not make it, you will. You have to."
"But Matt, I want my future with you."
Matt's POV
I wanted my future with Kristi too. I didn't know what to say. She look at me now sitting on top of me with tears in her eyes. I stood up and pulled Kristi up. I held both her hands and looked into her eyes.
"Kristi, I love you." She hugged me tight. I hugged her too. I never wanted the Hunting Games. Curse the capitol. I pulled out of the hug and held her face in my hands. She kissed me. I pushed Kristi to the wall of the train and pressed my lips harder on hers. She lifted her legs and wrapped them around my waist. I pulled her onto the bed and now I was on top of her. I was about to slide my hands under her top when someone came in.
"Woah, sorry to interrupt." Katniss said walking in.
"Your excused." I said smirking.
Kristi's POV
"Matt, be nice!" I got up off the bed, and walked over to Katniss.
"So, what brings you here and where's Peeta?" I asked. I was kinda annoyed at her for walking in on us…
"I'm right here…" Peeta said munching on a piece of bread.
"Kristi, we're almost to the capitol. And soon, our design teams are going to-" Suddenly four people walked into the cabin.
"Hello, I'm Cina. Erm, I'm the head of the design team for Katniss Everdeen?"
"Oh, that's me." Katniss walked up to the man and shook his hand.
"Well, if you come with me…we'll get you started." Katniss walked over to Peeta and gave him a quick kiss.
"See you soon love." The Katniss walked out of the cabin with Cina and soon was out of sight. There we're three people left I was assuming for Peeta, Matt and I. A man stepped up and asked for Peeta.
"Bye guys. See you soon." I didn't want to be separated from Matt. I wanted him next to me side by side. A girl maybe in her early 20's only a few years older than me asked for Matt…I did not like the thought of that.
"Bye Kris. Love you don't you ever forget that." Matt gave me a quick kiss and walked out of the cabin. I felt alone…well not entirely.
"Hi, I'm Marrissa. Why don't we go ahead and get started?" I nodded. We walked out of the cabin to a big train car. It almost looked like a spa. There were a lot of people ready to pounce on me as if I was their prey.
" if you will," Said a guy gesturing to a seat. He was holding a pair of scissors…
"Oh, no. NOT my hair. Are you kidding?"
"No I am absolutely not kidding. Now if you will." He said gesturing to the seat again. I walked over reluctantly and sat down. A group of girls started to walk over.
"Kristi, while Jonah is doing your hair, we need to work on your nails and make-up and stuff." Marrissa explained. I mean sure I was a girly girl but not to this measure. Immediately the girls and Marrissa started to work on my body. I was surrounded by people attempting to 'fix' me.
"Kristina will you hold still?" Said Jonah as I flinched while Marrissa was working on my make-up.
After a good half hour into the make-over they finally laid off a little.
"Okay, Kristi now for your outfit." Marrissa walked up to me with a black bag. She took out a marvelous strapless dress. It was black and pretty short with crystal jewels incrusted on the chest area.
"You like?" Marrissa asked. She looked rather anxious.
"No, I love it." I said. Marrissa smiled wide.
"Okay, well you should put it on now we're almost there." I walked behind a screen stripped off my clothes and put on the black dress. I looked in the mirror…and I was shocked. What. Happened. To. My. Hair. My long hair…I wanted to cry almost…but I have to admit, Jonah did a pretty good job even if he cut my hair. I walked towards Marrissa and spun around.
"Wonderful, absolutely marvelous!"
"Thanks everyone!" I smiled.
"Okay Kristi, you can go back to your cabin. DO. NOT. MESS. ANYTHING. UP." Marrissa said suddenly all serious.
"Don't worry. Thanks again guys!" I walked back to the cabin and Katniss, Peeta and Matt were waiting for me.
"Kris?" Matt asked his eyes getting wide.
"Jeez, Kristi you look amazing!" Peeta said. Katniss jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow.
"Ow, what was that for?" Peeta said rubbing his stomach. Katniss glared. I couldn't help but laugh. Matt came up and gave me a hug.
"You are beautiful." He spun me around.
"And you aren't looking so bad yourself." I smiled and gave him along passionate kiss. Matt broke away.
"Someone's a little restless today." Matt said raising his eyebrows.
"Haha don't push your luck mister." I walked over to the bed and sat there. I didn't notice Katniss's outfit until now.
"Katniss, you look like your on fire."
"Oh someone's catching on."
"Well it looks amazing.""Thanks." The train stopped moving and I knew what was gonna happen. Marrissa, Cina, Mandy(Matt's head designer) and Jonny(Peeta's head designer) stepped in.
"Well, it's the big moment." Cina said breaking the silence. Matt gripped my hand. The butterflies in my stomach grew… and the train doors opened.
