Kat and Haymitch arrived at the tribute building. After putting on her uniform Kat was immediately put into training with the rest of the tributes.

''Your late.'' said the gamemaker.

''That's my fault Survey. My apoligzies.'' Haymitch said.

''Well Katniss will have to make up that time on her own.'' Survey said.

''Yes sir.'' Katniss said walking over to join the rest of the tributes who were already their stations. Kat decided to walk over to the bow and arrow station.

''Figures you walk over here.'' said tribute number 6.

''Why is that?'' Kat asked.

''Your godmother is a pro at this stuff.'' the girl tribute said.

''That doesn't mean I'm good at it.'' Kat said.

''Well I beg to differ.'' the girl said.

''Fine. I'll show you.'' Kat said grabbing the bow and arrow from the rack. Kat positioned the arrow at the target.

''Your not doing it right.'' said a female voice.

''I told you guys I've never done this before.'' Kat said. She turned around to see her mother standing there.

''What are you doing here?'' Kat asked.

''I thought I could help.'' Johanna said.

''But that isn't fair.'' said the tribute 6 girl.

''Actually she's here to help all of you'' Survey said, giving Johanna a look.

''Of course.'' Johanna said.

''Where is everyone else?'' Kat asked.

''Peeta is actually right over there.'' Johanna said, pointing to the camoflauge station. Peeta was showing some of the tributes how to make themselves look like a tree.

''Is it just you and Peeta?'' Kat asked.

''Yeah.'' Johanna said with disapointment.

''Can you help us now?'' asked another tribute.

''Of course.'' Johanna said. ''May I?'' Johanna asked. Kat nodded her head and gave her mother the bow and arrow.

''The trick is to focus on only the target, and nothing else.'' Johanna said to the group as she positioned the arrow in the bow. ''At least that's what Gale tells me.'' Johanna said.

''What else does he say?'' asked one of the tributes.

''He said to always think about something that makes you happy. Like how proud everyone will be if you make the target.'' Johanna said and released the bow. The arrow completely missed the target, and instead flied into the wall.

''What do you think about?'' Kat asked.

''On that one? You.'' Johanna said, handing Kat the bow and arrows, and then walking over to the knives.

''But you completely missed the target!'' Kat yelled.

''I wasn't thinking of something happy, that's why.'' Johanna yelled back.

''Ouch.'' Said the tribute 6 girl.

''She's just upset about something.'' Kat said, poistioning the bow and arrow at the target.

''Oh I know.'' The girl said.

''Oh do you?'' Kat asked sarcastically.

''We all know. Mrs. Hawthorne.'' the girl said.

''Whatever.'' Kat said and turned her attention back to the bow and arrow. She released the arrow, which flew into the center of the target.

''Very good.'' said a female voice.

''Thanks.'' Kat said.

''May I?'' the voice asked.

''Sure.'' Kat said turning around to hand over the bow and arrow. Kat turned around to see her aunt standing there with her hands out.

''Are you just going to stand there, or are you going to hand them over?'' Katniss asked.

''Here.'' Kat said, giving her aunt the bow and arrow.

''Thanks Kat.'' Katniss said and positoned the bow and arrow at a nearby dummy.

''What are you doing?'' asked one of the tributes.

''Just watch.'' Katniss said and released the arrow. The arrow flew directly into the head of the dummy. The arrow went in the right side of the head and out the other, causing Johanna to step back.

''Johanna be a dear and cut off that head for me.'' Katniss yelled. Johanna nodded her head and picked up a hatchet from the table. Johanna lunged the hatchet at the neck of the the dummy. The head fell to the floor. Johanna picked the head up and threw it in Katniss' direction, but Kat instead caught it with one hand.

''Here.'' Kat said, handing the head to her aunt. Kat smiled.

''Thank you.'' Katniss said and turned back around to the male tributes. ''Take a look at this head.'' Katnis said, grabbing the attention of the tributes. ''Would anyone like to try to pull this out?'' Katniss asked, waving around the head.

''Let me try.'' said one of the tributes. He grabbed onto the arrow, trying with all of his power to pull the arrow out. He used so much force that his hand slipped off the arrow and he fell to the floor.

''Let me try.'' Kat said, snatching the head out of her aunt's hands.

''Okay, but I warn you it's tough.'' said the tribute.

''I think I can manage.'' Kat said. Kat took a deep breathe and then pulled the arrow out of the head. The entire group of people went silent.

''Very good Kat.'' Katniss said.

''Thank-you.'' Kat said.

''May I speak to Katniss please?'' asked survey.

''Yes sir?'' Katniss said walking over to Survey.

''Not you, your niece.'' Survey said.

''Oh.'' Katniss said and walked over to her niece.

''What do they want?'' Kat asked.

''Hell if I know.'' Katniss said. Kat sighed and walked over to Survey.

''May I help you sir?'' Kat asked.

''I need to know which tribute you have decided to volunteer for.'' Survey said.

''I haven't decided yet.'' Kat said.

''Well I need to know within the next 5 minutes.'' Survey said, looking at his watch.

''Of course sir.'' Kat said and walked over to her mother who was showing tributes how to throw knives at the dummies.

''What do you want?'' Johanna said as she continued to throw knives at the dummies.

''I can't decide who to volunteer for.'' Kat said.

''And you want me to decide for you?'' Johanna asked.

''No, but I could really use your help. I want to volunteer for someone who really deserves it.'' Kat explained. Johanna sighed.

''Katniss, I can't always be there to help you.'' Johanna explained. Kat sighed.

''I understand.'' Kat said and walked over to where Peeta was.

''Hey Kat.'' Peeta said.

''Hey uncle Peeta.'' Kat said.

''I hear you still havent decided who to volunteer for.'' Peeta said as he continued to paint camoflauge on the arm of a tribute.

''How did you know?'' Kat asked.

''Honey I have ears.'' Peeta said. Kat smiled.

''Will you help me? Please?'' Kat begged.

''Why don't I call Annie Rose? It is her job to do the research and information. She and Cato should be able to look up these peoples backrounds and then get back to you.'' Peeta explained.

''Thank you uncle Peeta. You are a life saver!'' Kat smiled and gave her uncle a hug.

''Your welcome sweetheart.'' Peeta said. ''And don't worry everything will be okay.'' Peeta said.

''I'm just so scared Uncle Peeta.'' Kat said.

''Don't be.'' Peeta said, placing a kiss on Kat's forehead. ''I'm going to call Annie Rose and Cato okay?' Peeta said. Kat nodded her head and Peeta walked away.

''Are you okay?'' asked one of the girl tributes.

''Yeah I'm fine.'' Kat said, wiping a tear away from her eye.

''I'm Ever Valentine.'' The girl said.

''I'm Katniss Hawthorne.'' Kat said holding out her hand. Ever smiled and shook her hand.

''So how did you get here?'' Ever asked.

''I'm voluntering for one of the tributes here.'' Kat explained.

''Really?'' Ever asked.

''Yeah, I kinda made a deal with the council.'' Kat said.

''What kind of deal?'' Ever asked.

''The deal is, If I die then theres one less presidential candidate to deal with, but If I win then the Hunger Games are ended forever. All I have to do is volunteer for one of you guys since the tributes have already been chosen.'' Kat explained.

''Cool.'' Ever said.

''So how did you end up here?'' Kat asked.

''My dad is on the council and my mother is a hunger games organizer.'' Ever explained.

''How old are you?'' Kat asked.

''I'm seventeen.'' Ever answered.

''And your just now being put into these games?'' Kat asked sarcastically.

''My mom and dad just got those jobs two years ago.'' Ever said.

''Oh.'' Kat said.

''Your uncle is pretty cool.'' Ever said. ''He was teaching me how to make myself look like a bush.'' Ever said, pulling up her sleve to show the make-up.

''Yeah well he was always really good at that kind of stuff.'' Kat said.

''God I wish I was you. You have such a talented family.'' Ever said. Kat smiled.

''Well that's very sweet of you to say.'' Kat said. Ever smiled. ''You know if you keep saying stuff like that maybe I'll consider volunteering for you. Kat said.

''Really?'' Ever asked.

''Yeah, I mean you seem really nice. You seem like you really deserve it.'' Kat said.

''So what do I have to say for you to volunteer for me?'' Ever asked.

''Promise me that you'll talk good about me when the news reporters ask you what it is like to be saved by the amazing Katniss Hawthorne.'' Kat explained.

''That's it?'' Ever asked.

''Well yeah, if you make me look good then theres a good chance I'll get sponsors and a ton of votes.'' Kat explained.

''You have a deal.'' Ever said.

''Great, let me go tell Survey.'' Kat said and walked over to Survey.

''Have you made a decision?'' Survey asked.

''I choose to volunteer for Ever Valentine.'' Kat said.

''Are you sure? There are some great people to choose from here.'' Survey said.

''I'm sure.'' Kat said.

''Okay Kat, you are officialy tribute number 19.'' Survey said. ''Let me go tell Ever the good news.'' Survey said and walked over to Ever. Kat watched as Ever's face lit up when Survey told her the news. Ever ran over to Kat and gave her a huge hug.

''Thank-you so much.'' Ever said.

''You deserve it.'' Kat said taking hold of Ever's hands. ''Don't make me regret this.'' Kat said.

''I would never.'' Ever said and gave Kat another hug.

''Now get out of that uniform and go home.'' Kat said. Ever nodded her head and walked out of the training room.

''You know, you need that uniform.'' Survey said.

''Oh yeah.'' Kat said and walked out of the training room.

''Does anyone know where Ever Valentine went?'' Kat asked.

''She's in the bathroom.'' one of the stylists said.

''Thank-you.'' Kat said and walked over to the bathroom. She knocked on the door. ''Ever? I need that uniform.'' Kat said.

''Okay.'' Ever said and walked out of the bathroom. She handed Kat her uniform and gave Kat one last hug. ''Thank-you so much.'' Ever whispered in Kat's ear.

''Your welcome.'' Kat whispered back. ''Now if you will excuse me, I have to change.'' Kat said and walked into the bathroom.

Once training was done for the day, Kat went to go change into her sleep chlothes.

''Do you guys have to leave now?'' Kat asked her mother.

''Sadly yes.'' Johanna said.

''But we will see you right before you go into the games.'' Gale said.

''Good luck sweetheart.'' Peeta said. During this time Katniss simply just stood there.

''Arne't you going to say anything?'' Kat asked her aunt.

''I really can't think of anything to say that would make this situation any better.'' Katniss said and walked out of the room.

''She's just being stuborn.'' Peeta said.

''May I speak to Kat outside?'' Annie Rose asked. Haymitch nodded his head. The two sisters walked out on the balcony. They stood there in silence for a few minutes. Annie Rose turned to Kat with tears in her eyes.

''Promise me you'll try to make it.'' Annie Rose said.

''I can't promise you I'll win.'' Kat said.

''Well then promise me you'll try.'' Annie Rose said.

''Okay I promise.'' Kat said and took Annie in her arms.

''I love you Katniss.'' Annie Rose said.

''I love you too Annie.'' Kat whispered in Annie's ear. Annie looked over to Lavina standing at the door.

''I think someone wants to talk to you.'' Annie said, wiping a tear out of her eye. Kat looked over and then turned her head back to Annie.

''Everything will be okay.'' Kat said. Annie nodded her head.

''I'll see in a few days Katniss.'' Annie said and walked past Lavina.

''Okay Annie.'' Kat called back.

''So are you proud of yourself? The entire family is a wreck.'' Lavina said.

''Is it really my fault? This was all your idea.'' Kat said.

''Having you volunteer for the Hunger Games, was not my idea!'' Lavina said.

''But everything else was!'' Kat said. ''Your just lucky that our parents gave in, or this plan wouldn't of even made it out of the house!'' Kat said.

''Well they did, because they thought it was a good idea. But this isn't my idea! This was all you.'' Lavina said.

''Yeah it is all me. And you know what? I'm very proud of myself, because even if I don't make it back I know that Ever is safe and she deserves it.'' Kat said. Lavina sighed.

''Just promise me you won't kill yourself out there.'' Lavina said.

''I'll try.'' Kat said.

''This isn't a time to be sarcastic.'' Lavina said.

''This isn't the time to be a bitch, but you are deffiantely being one.'' Kat said.

''''You really cant?'' Kat asked.

''No.'' Lavina said.

''Your mom. My Mom. Your dad. My dad.'' Kat said.

''They didn't tell you to do this.'' Lavina said.

''But they've done something like this before.'' Kat said.

''That doesn't mean you should.'' Lavina said.

''Well I did Lavina, so deal with it.'' Kat said.

''You really want to do this, don't you?'' Lavina said.

''Yes.'' Kat said. Lavina sighed.

''Then I guess I can't really agrue with what you want.'' Lavina said. Kat smiled.

''I'm going to miss you.'' Lavina said and walked over to give Kat a hug.

''I'll be back. And I'll be a hero.'' Kat said hugging Lavina back. When they let go of the hug both girls had tears in their eyes.

''Come on Lavina. We have to go.'' Katniss said. Lavina nodded her head.

''Bye Lavina.'' Kat whispered.

''Bye.'' Lavina whispered back.

Kat walked back inside and said he final goodbyes to everyone.

''Where is Fletcher?'' Kat asked.

''He isn't feeling well.'' Annie said.

''So I won't get to see him?'' Kat asked. Annie shrugged.

''Sorry dear.'' Annie said and walked out with the rest of the group.
