First off, yep, I am posting two chapters in one day, this one kinda wrote itself

Secondly, we are going to District Nine, so once again out of order, I just had to check something about a tribute, so I wrote 9 in the meantime.

Thirdly, I still do not own the Hunger Games

Lastly, thank you to kkfanatic22 and Elim9 for Aisley and Issac respectively.

Theon Finn, 29, District Nine, Victor of the 2nd Hunger Games

He still hadn't gotten over killing his district partner.

Even after eleven years, he still grimaced every time the snow fell, even though in District Nine it was basically snowing in the winter every year. He hadn't been really close to his district partner, but he still remembered how he had overpowered her in whiteout conditions.

It didn't help that he had gotten close to his tributes every year since and hadn't succeeded in bringing any home, but he mostly wasn't over his final kill.

Ewan, the District Nine escort stepped up towards the girls reaping bowl and pulled out a name. Ewan had been here since the eighth games, and Theon had become good friends with him.

"For the girls, Aisley Hentrent."

The fifteen year old section then parted around a girl of average height with long, brown hair. She didn't seem phased by fact that she had just been chosen to a fight to the death and she just walked up to the stage. Theon winced at that, his partner had also faced the games with a brave face, and she had fought bravely, and had given him quite a few wounds.

Ewan, sensing a discomfort from Theon, quickly went to the boys reaping bowl and pulled out a name.

"For the boys, Issac Hensley."

The Fourteen year old section parted around a boy about the same height as Aisley, wearing a tan shirt and grey pants. He quickly made his way to the stage, and he was even smiling when he got up there.

"Ladies and gentlemen here are your district nine tributes! Give them a hand!" said Ewan, playing into the fact that neither of them seemed to be angry at being here, as he had escorted tributes who blamed the capitol in the past.

As the cameras went off, Theon realized that he had to do something.

"Ewan, please meet me at my place later, I need to talk to you about something."

"Want to just head there now? I can leave the cleanup in a few minutes if you need to talk."

"Thanks, I'll make it quick, but it would be better for it to happen before we get on the train."

"Alright, I'll see you there in about five to ten minutes, does that sound good?"

"That sounds fine." said Theon. He thought that Ewan might be perfect for something, but he couldn't tell anybody until he talked it over with him first. Somehow, for the first time in ten years, he may not be as alone.

Aisley Hentrent, 15, District 9 Female Tribute

She just wanted them to get over it.

Her parents had been mad about the fact that she had been reaped, and they for some reason decided just to talk to her about how it was unfair.

"We stayed loyal the rebellion, why do we get punished?" Her father said, for what Aisley swore was a minute.

The Peacekeepers had escorted them out when their time was done, but Aisley had negotiated with the Peacekeeper to let her brother and her best friend stay for a few more minutes.

"I know this might be hard, but you are probably more likely to have allies if you aren't closed off to people." said her brother.

"Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll just be like I am when there are other tributes around. Besides, who knows what other tributes want in an ally, everybody's different."

"Stay as safe as you can Aisley, and thank you for being a good friend."

"You too Carter, and if I get back, I think it will be an easier life for all of us."

The Peacekeepers then came into the room and told them that their time was up. Aisley gave them both a hug, and then she sat and waited for the train to come.

Ewan Barber, 25, District Nine Escort

The cleanup had been over, and he was at Theon's house.

"So you wanted to talk to me about something?"

"Yes, I wanted to know if you would help me mentor a tribute."

"You want me to take Aisley, don't you?"

"Actually no, I think that it would help me to mentor somebody similar to Hazel. I was thinking of asking you to take Issac. I feel that when I mentor Aisley, I will be focusing on her too much to give Issac the attention that he deserves."

"Do you think he'll be fine with an escort winging it as a mentor?"

"He'll understand that it was a better option than only getting a sentence in my focusing on Aisley. Other than that, I don't know him at all, and I just hope that he'll understand."

"So when do you want to tell him that I'll be mentoring him?"

"Why don't you just go over there and talk to him now? I think it would be better for you to explain, so that you two can get to know each other."

"Where is he?"

"He's in the building next to the train station that besides for this day, is empty. Every district has the same setup, the male tribute's room is on left, and the female one is on the right. They've had the same setup since the start of the games, but I have gotten word that they may switch it up soon."

"So he's in room on the left. What if he doesn't want me as a mentor? What if he wants you, even if it means less attention?"

"Tell him that I trust you more than I have trusted any other escort, and that I will respect his decision, but even if he chooses me, he can switch to you mentoring him anytime he wants. You've basically been a part-time mentor ever since you got here. You might even be better than me."

"I wouldn't go that far, but I'll tell him the first part if he doubts me."

"You better get going, you won't want to get interrupted by the train coming and picking us up."

"I guess I'll see you on the train."

With that, Ewan exited the building and started his walk to the train station.

Issac Hensley, 14, District Nine Male Tribute

He thought it over, and that nobody else would be visiting.

The Peacekeepers had left, and all his family had come. He didn't think that anybody would even be allowed in the building. He thought he was going crazy when he heard a soft knock on the door.

He went to open it and he smiled, it was the district's escort, Ewan.

"Well Ewan, I'm surprised to see you here. Would you like a seat? There's only one chair, but I don't really want to sit."

"Actually, no, I don't want to sit down. I want to talk to you about something important, but I feel that you would be more comfortable outside, please, let us go for a walk, the train won't be here for another half hour, and then it will still take half an hour for us to board."

"Alright, I presume this isn't an annual thing you do, is it? Visiting the tributes is kind of unheard for the escorts, from what I hear."

"Actually, that is partially why I'm here. I had a talk with your mentor, Theon."

"He seems nice enough, but he didn't really look interested in me at the reapings."

"It's not that you're not an interesting tribute, but it's because he has a focus this year. He has asked me if I would mentor you, as he feels if he were to take on you both, he would be too focused on Aisley to give you the proper attention."

"Why? Are they related?"

"No, they're not related at all, but her reaction seems to remind him of a tribute he was forced to kill in his games."

"And I should trust you as my mentor, why?"

"I've been close to Theon since I got to district nine, and I've been right by his side all through the games. I even arranged a sponsor gift with a few friends once for one of his tributes. I've learned quite a bit from him, and he's trusting that it would be better off if I'm mentoring you so we both have a focus."

"Alright, I accept." Issac said, glad that he had reasoning for the change of mentors.

"Well, we should probably head back to the building, otherwise we might get caught outside, but I'm pretty sure the Peacekeepers wouldn't care."

"Well I hope that it works out on the mentoring, but I also have one more question."

"What is it?"

"What is it like in the capitol? I've always had a few ideas on life there, but I've obviously never had a chance to see it."

"Oh it's beautiful on the outside, the mountains are the tallest in all of Panem, but it isn't all like they show on the television. I'll tell you more about it on the train if I have the chance."

"Thank you." Issac said "I guess I'll see you on the train."

With that, Ewan headed out to get everything ready to go, and Issac kept the image of the capitol as Ewan had described it in his head until he heard the whistle of the train.
