I turn on the TV since I don't have anything to do for the whole day. Mags went down to the training center with Maysie and Max.

The only thing we can really watch in the Capitol is what is on Capitol TV, which is mostly used for news broadcasts and viewing the games as I found out last year during my own games.

The first thing I see on the TV is an interview with the head gamemaker. Caesar asks him to sit down beside him and then they start their interview.

"Have your opinions changed on any of the tributes since the Tribute Parade and since we are now in our second day of training?" Caesar asks.

"I can definatlly say we have a great group this year," he says. "I see great changes and improvements in all the tributes."

"Now let's talk about District 4," Caesar says.

District 4? What is going on with District 4 that we need to be talked about in an interview?

"Last year District 4 had a surprising victory and a young one too," Caesar continues.

Great, so they are bringing up my games. They probably know about the sessions too, unless President Snow is keeping that a secret from everyone. Everyone in the Capitol is good at keeping secrets.

"Do you think that there could be another victory like the 65th games this year in the 66th games?"

"Now I'm not supposed to discuss what I think the outcome of the games will be, but you never know what could happen." The gamemaker looks down at his shiny gold watch, "I better get to the training center."

"Well it was great talking to you!" Caesar says. I shut the TV off.

Mags walks through the door, "What's been on the TV today?"

I shake my head, "they were interviewing the head gamemaker. Asking him questions about his opinion on the games, talked about who they thought would win, brought up my victory from last year."

Mags shakes her head too, "well I don't know what to say. The games have gotten worse since mine."

I stare into space before asking, "have you watched your games, you know, ever since your big win?"

Mags laughs and pats my shoulder, "Finnick I don't want to watch my games ever. I think living them was horrific enough."

"I know how you feel, I was just wondering."

"Some Victors had a bad aftermath after their games," Mags says.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'll just tell you this one story," Mags says.

She sits down by me on the couch. I turn and face her so she knows I am listening.

"During the 50th games it was the final fight between Haymitch, from District 12, and a girl from District 1. Haymitch had found out that the forcefield could shoot things back at you if you throw an item like a rock or stick," Mags explains. "The girl from District 1 threw her axe at Haymitch, he was already pretty injured to begin with, and he ducked and the axe hit the forcefield and came back and lodged into the girl's head."

"So he killed her, that's what you're supposed to do in the game."

"That's the thing," Mags says. "The Capitol took it as an act of defiance and killed his family. That's why he didn't get sold like you and Cashmere."

"So by him doing that and saving his life the Capitol killed his family?"

Mags shakes her head, "that's why most Victors don't want to watch their games."

I know for myself I don't want to watch my own games. I can see too that Haymitch and I have similar stories as for what happened after our games. It's kind of nice to have someone that I can relate to.

Our avox brings in some lunch for Mags and I. Our lunch is basically what we ate yesterday night for dinner since that's all the Capitol knows how to feed us is leftovers.

As I eat my leftovers I imagine that it is food from back home and to my surprise it makes lunch much better.

"Did Maysie and Max say anything when you took them to the training center?" I ask Mags.

"Maysie just said that she was worried about the games. I guess she doesn't think she will last very long."

I can understand her point. I felt the same during my games. "She just needs the confidence."

Mags smiles, "confidence is key."
