Katniss Pov

I went through some hallways and doors and finally, I got in front of the door I wanted to be in front at. Talent stage.

It wasn't a room. It didn't cover it. It was as big as a -what do you call it?- a ballroom. Music was everywhere! The ballroom was divided into 4 rooms. One room was particularly larger than the others.

The other 'rooms' had soundproof doors and walls so when I put my ear on one door, I didn't hear anything but I felt something. A strong vibration. I looked all around me.

There was a crowd forming at the door so I went there. The crowd was looking at the bulletin board. I squirmed my way in front of the bulletin board. I read the only note there:

Dear students,

Greetings! If you are reading this note then you are in the exclusive Panem high ballroom. More so often called Talent students must have a subject don't you? Called Talent class. Well, this IS talent class. This is how you must begin. As you can see around you there are rooms everywhere. Each room speciallizes in one your talent is singing, go to the room with the golden door. If your talent is dancing, go to the room with a silver door. If your talent is playing instruments, proceed to the room with the bronze door. Lastly, If you are unsure of what your talent is, proceed to the room that is larger than the others.

Thank you and I hope you find your talent.

-Effie Trinket

I sighed. No much surprise there. I figured out that I have to know what my talent is sooner or later.

The thing is, I don't know my talent. I know a few traditional dance moves from home and I also know a few songs. I am really, REALLY, helpless when it gets to talents.

"Hey where are you going?" I heard a few girls ask each other. "Oh I don't know" A girl said. She wore clothes that seems to worth a lot. If she's rich...Why isn't she a part of careers. She has some potential at being snotty.

"Madge...please come with us?" The girl said to the girl with the career-like look. So the girl's name is madge?

"Come with you to where? Dance class?" Madge replied. She shook her head. "No thanks, I'm going to go to the big room.".

The other girls giggled at her. I frowned. The girls just laughed at their friend! For their information, Didn't they notice that Madge can actually be richer than them and can use her power?...

It's amazing isn't it? I already think she 's rich because of her clothes.

"What?" She cried. She flicked a glance at me and I looked at the note. Pretending to read it.

"You already know your talent, Madge" One of the girls put disgusted expressions. "Why bother?"

Then Madge frowned and the girls' smirks and disgusting expressions faded."You know what? I'm tired of ALL of you." She cried louder. Thank goodness there wasn't much people except for me and the group of girls that's looking suspiciously at Madge and her group of five.

"All you did since we met and became friends was criticize me or gossip about me but now I had enough...Today I am officially unfriending you!" She pointed to the girl with the disgusted expression earlier "And also you! you!you! and especially you!" The four girls looked ashamed.

Madge turned to leave. Before she could left she asked "Tell me, Josie, May, Lydia and-" She glared at the girl earlier that I'm very sure she hates her with every part of her "-Levy, Why did you stick with me at Survival class? Is it because you like me for who I am?..." She looked for answers. Levy nodded immediately. Madge was disgusted. "Or is it because I'm an assistant gamemaker's daughter?..."

The girls looked down. Madge turned to leave and this time...without looking back. I ran after her. I was about to reach for her when I noticed a tear drop from her face. I left her alone.

I waited for her to get in and followed behind her. Inside the room was many people with instruments, microphones and stereos. Madge was nowhere in sight.

I approached another crowd that formed. I squirmed to the front and saw Madge crying with some grown-up comforting her.

That must be my teacher...I thought. "Cinna.." One girl asked at a whining voice...and I hated those kind of whiny things. "What's with her?" She asked and muttered something like: Why wouldn't she shut up?

Madge heard it and started shouting at her. The girl was taken aback at first but shouted at her back after a few insults. Finally, Madge left and cried. No one followed her.

Cinna, my teacher, sighed. "I knew this would happen" He said and threw a sharp glance at the girl Madge had a fight with.

"Someone should follow her and comfort her. She's very sensitive. If she keeps being like this other professors might see her and deduct her OSS." She looked for volunteers but no one raised their hand.

"I'll go professor." I volunteered. He stared at me for a minute and nodded. I went outside the big room and followed Madge. She was nowhere in sight.

I tried outside the room...still nothing. I searched the nearby doors and corridorss...still nothing. I was about to give up when something caught my eye. A glance of a ruffly skirt. Exactly what Madge was wearing.I followed the skirt to a fence. It was electric, like the one back home. I listened for humming...nothing.

So I followed the skirt to the other side of the fence and soon enough I'm in the woods. There was a path and I followed it.

After a few minutes following a path, I came across a treehouse and a lake. There was sobbing voices in the treehouse so I went up.

"Who's there?" Madge gulped.

"It's fine" I tell her "Hi I'm Katniss"

She nodded "Madge"

We both sat quietly while Madge wipe her tears. "You know Madge I witnessed the whole thing and...I think you did the right thing." I said trying to encourage her. She looked at me and waited for me to continue.

"Those girls were nothing close to a friend much less a best friend. I think they got what they deserve."

She nodded. "Thanks Katniss, You're new here aren't you?" I nodded.

"Well let me show you around." She stood up and went down.

"How did you know about this anyway?" I ask. Getting ready to get down the ladder.

"I found this after I wanderedcrying about the place."

I blinked. "This isn't your first time crying about friends?"

She nodded. "Every week someone new is here and every week I have new the first few days we really like each other but when they get tired of me they gossip and chat about me."

I was really sympathetic for her. How could they do this to her? She's nothing like the careers.

"Umm Madge Why are you a magnet for untrue friends?" She managed a smile at my statement...haha.

"Because I'm the assistant gamemaker's daughter. I'm supposed to be rich and be snotty like Glimmer but I don't really like that stuff."

"I understand." We were almost at the fence now. When we got to the stage, It was empty. I felt Madge flinch beside me while looking at the spot where she cried. I soothed her.

"Don't worry. It won't happen again." I felt her smle. When we got to the big room, Everyone was busy. Madge approached Cinna.

"Cinna I feel great thanks to Katniss" She looked at me and Cinna smiled. "So Cinna what are we going to do?"

Cinna thought about it for a minute and then he snapped. "I suppose Madge, Could you tell Katniss how this big room works?" Madge nodded.

Madge explained everything to me now. The big room was a room to help you find your talent (Yeah its kind of obvious since it was mentioned at Trinket's note). It had workshops for instruments,singing,dancing and other things. Madge was able to play the piano but she wouldn't go to the room with the bronze door.

I asked why. She answered "Because I'm not sure myself that that's what I want." I didn't quite understand her but I nodded.

Madge and I went to the dancing workshop since this was the one closest to us. I danced the traditional dances and amazingly, Madge know about it too. But the trainer shook his head and said we weren't 'in the vibe'. What's that suppose to mean?

We then went to the instrument section. I played every instrumet and not one I can play it. I tried the guitar, Piano, Flute, piccolo Everything! You name the instrument and I held it and still can't play it. Even the triangle! I can't even play the simple tringle. Of course I know this wasn't my talent before the coach could say so.

"Ugh Katniss you've got to have a talent. Last workshop. Please let this be the one" Madge prayed over and over again.

When we entered the singing workshop, no one was there but there was one huge mirror ,a microphone and a piano. I looked at Madge. She had a wide smile on her face.

"Where's the trainer?" I asked Madge. She shrugged. Like on cue, The trainer barged in the door behind us and explained the rules: I get to choose a song and sing it then that is when I know if singing is my talent.

I looked at the mirror. Somewhere in me I feel like I should be glaring. That someone is looking at me without me knowing. Then that is when smething clicked in my brain.

"That's a one-way mirror isn't it?" I asked the trainer that is talking to Madge. She was dumbfounded at first but managed to say "Y-yes. Yes it it. How did you know?"

I smiled. I shrugged and said "I have my ways." I know deep inside me that Cato and Clove is in there. Probably Glimmer too. This is my chance to show them that I am not only tough but talented too.

"So what is your song, Ms. Everdeen?" I flinched and had a deja vu about my father's accident

*Flashback*

"He was a great man. He was a great husband and father. It is unusual for him to be gone for a whole month and be found in the woods almost dead." I fought the tears that is about to stream down my cheeks. I have to be strong for mom and Prim. "Let us welcome Ms. Everdeen for her last song to her father." I got up and before going to the stage, I was asked "So what is your song, Ms. Everdeen?" I looked at him. My father's business partner. He was kind enough to arrang this funeral. I managed a small smile. "I have my own"

*End of flashblack*

"Hello? Are you alright Katniss?" I shook my head and said "Wha- What happened?"

They seemed relieved. "Pick your song Katniss" Madge said while touching the trainer nodded in encouragement.

"Umm...Madge can I ask you something?" I asked her. She was beside me almost immediately.

"Madge can you play something for me?" I asked gesturing at the piano. She smiled.

"Sure"

Cato Pov

You know I was very surprised to see Katniss at the singing workshop. I was very sure she had a talent. I thought her talent was beating people up.

She was a natural at beating people up. You should had seen her face! Her braid was going from left to right while she dodge punches. She was so beautiful-

"Cato" Clove said. Fanning herself with a notebook that looks familiar then I thought it was hemwick's notebook. She probably took it from him. "It's so hot in here. Can we get out?"

I snorted. "Yeah right. No way. We're gonna stay here and listen to her" I pointed to Katniss.

Clove sighed and asked Glimmer how was she doing. Of course in answer she shrieked.

I sighed. Girls...totally pathetic. Glimmer ran to a wall and opened it. It was a window. Thank goodness all we saw was a wall at the windowor else, light might show in the room and Katniss will notice it.

Speaking of Katniss, She was clutching at the microphone and Madge, The rich girl, was at the piano. Then she started to sing. The song was titled only hope. Her voice was gorgeous!

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands

And pray to be only Yours

I pray to be only Yours

I know now You're my only hope

I noticed there were birds gathering at the window pane. Most of them were mockingjays. They played the tune and it was beautiful. When Katniss sings, The birds fall silent to listen.

Sing to me the song of the stars

of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again

When it feels like my dreams are so far

Sing to me of the plans that you have

for me over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands

And pray to be only Yours

I pray to be only Yours

I know now You're my only hope

I give You my destiny

I'm giving You all of me

I want Your symphony

Singing in all that I am

At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands

And pray to be only Yours

I pray to be only Yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now You're my only hope

mmmmmmmmmm

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

mmmmmmmmmmm

When Katniss finished her song, The mockingjays repeated this over and over again. Then the room was filled of music. I looked at Katniss. She seems bored but pleased.

"She's great..." I muttered. Completely heads over heels over her but I came into reality.

"What?" Glimmer said. Evading the hug Marvel was about to give.

"I said she's great to be an enemy. Are you deaf?" Glimmer glared at me like crazy! I know Katniss has got potential to be a career but the only excuse that she can have for being a career is by helping her. I'll give it a try.

The careers and I left the workshop. I went to my session with Beetee.

The only subject where I am alone.

Where there are no other careers.

A/N : Dear Reviewers.

I am sooooo sorry for not updating soon! I have some problems right now. Cato is so hard to think of! Anyway I hope you lked this story and this song!
