I am going to fast forward to past the interviews because this story is going by pretty slow.

The Departures

CPOV

The interviews went by quickly. All that Caesar Flickerman, the inquisitor, wanted was gossip. He asked what each of us is going to miss the most. I, of course, said my adoptive family which was Jasmine and Valentina. I didn't make any mention of Brian because, quite frankly, I'm not going to miss him at all after what happened at the ball.

He asked if there was anyone special in my life. He assumed that every boy in my district was after me because of my being the Uniter. I told him I have a boyfriend. He wondered if I was fighting to win for him and I told him that I am dating the other tribute from District 10. Yes, I am fighting in this for Alek, but he is doing the same for me. And I refuse to believe that I am going to lose Alek to that damn arena. Caesar tried to comfort me, obviously convinced that one of us—most likely Alek—is going to die.

APOV

Chloe's interview went perfectly, but I really hate that Caesar guy. How could he do that to her? He's acting like we are going to lose each other in the arena. If Chloe or I have to die, it's going to be me. I don't want Chloe to get hurt at all, and I will do everything in my power to make sure I don't lose her. She and I are meant to be. Bastet said so.

When I was asked what I was going to miss the most, I said I will miss my cousin, Jasmine, my aunt, Valentina, and my freedom. My freedom was one of the very last things I had that was my own.

Then Caesar asked the stupidest question possible. He asked if there was anyone special in my life. Chloe just told him we're dating so I responded with, "Yes, actually. Chloe just said that we're dating. She's my girlfriend."

He countered with, "Aren't you worried about other boys going after her for her power? Is that the only reason you're with her? You want her power?"

"I don't want her power. I have loved her ever since we were little. And trust me; if any guy goes after her, they are going to have to answer to me." With that, I stormed off the stage without waiting for him to dismiss me.

KPOV

I kind of expected him to talk about Prim, and he did. "Why did you fill in for your sister?"

"I felt that she is too young for it and she doesn't really have any skill with any weapons, but my dad taught me when I was little."

"What weapon did he teach you?"

"I guess you'll just have to wait and see," I said mysteriously.

He rolled his eyes and when I could tell nothing else was coming, I dismissed myself.

PPOV

I didn't have an exciting life so my interview was boring, but he seemed to be enjoying himself. "A handsome fellow like you must have a girlfriend right?"

"No, there's someone I like, but I don't think she even noticed me until the reaping."

"Well, if you win, I can guarantee she will be waiting for you with open arms."

"No, Caesar, I don't think so."

"And why not, Peeta?"

"She came here with me," I said simply.

CPOV

Alek and I were walking in the hallway of the Inquisition Hall and we heard screaming down the hall from us. We peeked around the corner to see Katniss yelling at Peeta for making her look weak in his interview.

Alek and I looked at each other nervously and slowly backed away towards the trains. Family and friends are going on separate trains. This is our last chance to say goodbye. Only Jasmine and Brian are going to leave. Valentina and Jesse are our mentors and stylists. There was one more person there though. Amy was there.

"Amy, aren't you supposed to be by the human trains?"

"I'm on my way there. I just needed to say goodbye one more time." Tears brimmed my eyes as I squeezed her tightly, clinging onto her for dear life. She even hugged Alek.

"When you get over there, tell Paul I said, 'goodbye.'"

She nodded in agreement and left to go to her train. I turned back towards my adoptive family. Brian was waiting with his arms wide open, waiting to embrace me.

I gave him a disapproving look and said, "Go on the train, and if I come back from this, I never want to see you again." Alek nodded along, agreeing.

"And if you ever touch her again, I'll kill you, just like how you killed me." Brian hung his head in shame and walked onto the train.

I turned towards Jasmine and hugged her as hard as I could. "I am going to miss you so much."

"I'll miss you, too, Chloe. And I'll miss you, Alek," she said, seeing Alek's envious glare.

"Don't worry, we'll see you again," he said comfortingly. I don't have the ability to be as comforting and threatening as he can be.

Valentina hugged her daughter tightly and said, "I expect you to take good care of the district while I'm gone." Jazz nodded, tears streaking down her cheeks. She boarded the bus and we watched as it zoomed away. I took Alek's hand as we boarded our own train. We were informed that it was going to take about five hours until we arrive at the Training Facility. I laid my head in Alek's lap and drifted off as he combed his fingers through my hair and kissed my forehead.

KPOV

Amy hugged me tightly with tears streaming down her face. I saw that in the distance, Peeta's mom was yelling at him about some nonsense involving burning bread before he left for the reaping. When his wife wasn't looking, Mr. Mellark came over to me and gave me some cookies wrapped in paper. "Thank you," I said quietly. He gave me a light hug and went back to his wife and son, hugging Peeta one last time. I hugged Paul and he guided Amy away from me so she wouldn't try to stop me from leaving. I hugged my mother tightly and said, "You need to be there for Prim. Ever since Dad died, I was the one that was there for her, but now, you need to take care of her." She just nodded. I bent down to Prim's height and said, "I will fight for you, okay? And I will try to win for you, you hear me?"

She nodded and hugged me tightly. "Madge Undersee gave me this to give to you. She said it'll bring you luck. It's a Mockingjay pin." I curled my fingers around the golden pin and kissed her forehead. Cinna came up behind me and led me onto the train. Portia did the same with Peeta. We boarded the train and braced ourselves for the long, five-hour ride to the Training Facility.

I think that's okay for now. Tell me what you think!
