Author's Note: I realize that I forgot to put the end of the joke on the last chapter… whoops:) The end is- *The teacher says, "Why did you say that?" Student says, "Because yesterday you said that the scientific name for water was H2O!" HAHAHA h2o! Like "h" through "o" as in A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z … sorry if I'm over explaining, it's just because I can't see your reactions, so I feel compelled to make sure that y'all got it, and yeah… it's cheesy, I know.

"Think of District 4, Annie."

The place where the ocean is. The place where I live. The place where Caleb was killed. A place where children are reaped. District 4 isn't going to calm me down, ever. The ocean. No, I almost drowned in it. My parents. No, I just get worried thinking about them. Flowers. No, too stupid. Fish. No, too dead. And stinky. I'll decide later.

Right now I think I'll take a nap and go to dinner.

After my nap, I realize I'm still wearing my green party dress. I take it off and then discover that I need a shower. Here we go again. The buttons are really confusing, but at least I know which one turns on the water. After a very scented shower, I put on some clothes and then leave my room.

I'm surprised to see Trident boy sitting right outside my door.

"Agh!" I shout. Finnick jumps up immediately.

"Sorry Annie."

"Finnick, exactly what are you doing?" I ask, clutching my chest. He scared me to death.

"Just thinking," he says vaguely.

"About?" I probe; he just shrugs.

"You hungry?" Finnick tries to change the subject and I let him.

"Yeah," I smile because he isn't getting out of answering my question.

When we get to dinner, Tianna is already there chatting to David. Mags is sitting by herself, already eating. Finnick pulls out a chair for me and he sits himself next to Mags.

Our food is brought out by an avox. They swallow weird and I feel sorry for them because they have no say in how their life turns out. Like me. I am still aware of the fact that the Careers are twice my size. The only hope I have is allying with someone bigger than me and then sneaking off in the night.

I'm glad that training starts tomorrow because I need it. Trident boy says that he is going to train us before the official training starts. I need to get up at around three tomorrow morning. I mentally groan. We are going to be working from 4:00am until 10:00am, which is when official training starts.

Tiana startles me from my thoughts when she bangs her spoon against her glass.

"Congratulations to Annie and David for their very glittery debut this afternoon," she says, using a very high pitched voice.

"Thanks Tianna," David and I say, and that's the end of it.

We finish eating and David and I head off to bed, leaving Trident boy, Mags, and Tianna in a very hushed discussion.

My bed is very warm tonight. The blue sheets remind me of the sea and they smell amazing. Slowly I drift off to sleep, surrounded by the sea.

*I had decided to walk outside our house boat. It was the night the 65th Hunger Games and I was terrified of Trident boy. He and Jamie had murdered most of the tributes that night. At first I thought I was just seeing things. I saw Caleb walking on the beach. Then suddenly a trident was sticking out of his arm. The man ripped it out and snarled. Caleb ran away. My brother was a good fighter, but that didn't make him stupid. Trident man wasn't merciful. He threw his trident and into Caleb's back it went. Silently I watched with tears streaming down my face, as Trident man threw Caleb's body into the sea. Only when he left did I dive for his body. I couldn't find him. The only thing I could think of doing was dying. Caleb was dead. My parents would be devastated. I dive under and stay there, just swimming around when I hit something metal. A trident! Caleb's body will be attached. I find him and pull his body out of the water. Blood is everywhere. There are three trident prongs sticking out of his stomach. He is just barely conscious.

"Caleb!" I cry. "Caleb."

"Annie," he moans. "I love you. And mom and dad,"

I watch was the life leaves my brother's eyes.

"Caleb!" I scream hysterically. I yank the trident out of his body, and even more blood spills from his wounds. His arm is barely hanging on.

"Caleb," I feel his heart and find no thump. I hold his wrist and there is no pulse. His body has no warmth; it is covered in the cold ocean water. I put his face in my hands; it is expressionless. Caleb is gone.

I jump into the ocean. I swim as hard as I can. I can feel the air in my lungs getting scarcer, but I don't swim up. I want to drown. The water is cold. I can't see anything. But I hear something. My attempt to follow Caleb into death is prevented by a bloodcurdling shriek.

"Caleb! My son!" my mother cries, her voice echoes off the water. She sees his body and the trident lying on the beach. "No, why Caleb? Why?" she asks, as if he could hear her. She jumps into the ocean and swims to the shore. I watch as my mother strokes his face. She doesn't pay attention to his wounds, but only his face. I want to comfort her, but what can I say? That everything will be alright? I don't know what to do.

I stay in the water, watching my mother cry her eyes out. My father finally hears the noise she is making. He groggily walks out of our houseboat and rubs his eyes; then he sees mom.

I don't know how he got to the shore so fast, but I blinked and he was there. Dad put his arm around her and held her hands. Suddenly dad stands up as if remembering something.

"Annie?" he yells. He must think I've suffered a similar fate. "Annie!" his eyes scan the beach, then he jumps into the water. It takes me awhile to realize that I should tell him I'm alright.

"Dad? I'm okay." I say.

Hearing my voice, my dad is with me in less than a few seconds because he swims so fast. His arm is around me in seconds. He speaks to me, but I can't understand. I try to explain this, but he doesn't understand me. Maybe it's because my mother is screaming so loud. We both silently agree to swim back though. Dad puts his arm around me as we swim through the cold ocean. I see splotches of Caleb's blood everywhere, so I close my eyes.

When we get to the shore, I see that people have started to come out of their houses, land and sea alike. They all crowd around Caleb's body and my mother's wailing form until dawn breaks.

By some unspoken consent, we have decided to burn his body and scatter his ashes into the sea. When we get the fire going and his body on the block, the sun has barely come up. The sky is a strange color, almost unreal.

I watch as smoke rises from my older brother's burning body. I cry because of the obvious reason, but I can't stop because of the smoke. Dad leads me off for a while because it takes a long time for Caleb's body to completely burn. Finally I am lead back to the spot where we are going to throw the ashes. My dad does it since Mom is barely capable of breathing at this point. I watch with teary eyes as the box with his ashes sinks to the bottom of the ocean.*

I wake up in a cold sweat, lying in my bed. My hair is damp and so are my clothes. I want to forget my dream that is really a memory. I go back to sleep because I can do nothing more.
