Finnick's POV

Katniss looks deep in thought as we walk towards her tributes chariot, she was so determined to get there and see her tributes that I didn't say anything and just followed her. Todd stood next to Alice, his tall figure towering her, although I'm still taller than him by inches.

"Congratulations, you both look great." Katniss says, congratulating them as we walk to them.

Todd and Alice's head snap up to our direction when they hear Katniss and our footsteps getting louder. Alice thanks her shyly and Todd just has an amused grin plastered onto his face.

"So this is the Girl on Fire? Charmed." He says, taking Katniss' hand and giving it a peck. Katniss looks disturbed and pulls her hand away, and I glare at him. What does he think he's doing? "Just so you know, I was Hunter's best friend, and seeing that he didn't win with you as his mentor. I don't need any help from you. You can stay and watch just don't interfere. I'm strong and handsome, maybe I can win the games by fooling the careers." He says cockily, folding his arms in front of his chest. He's definitely a career. Might fool them just like Peeta did.

"Oh good luck with that. Who do you think is in charge of gifts and sponsors? Oh that's right the mentors! And you do that by getting people to like you, including your mentors. Remember Hunter? Yeah, I gave him water so that he lived a couple days longer. So be fucking polite and don't be obnoxious like Gloss, or I might just leave you to die. Oh and if you don't need me that much, then why don't you have Haymitch as your mentor? Maybe he'll help you, but oh that's right! He's never sober. Good luck with your games. You're gonna need it." Katniss retorts, fuming. Katniss sure doesn't like him. And to think that I was jealous of him. Oh the irony. She grabs my hand and pulls me away, muttering about an arrogant jerk. I chuckle and shake my hand, walking to the District 4 chariot. Melanie is talking about something and Perseus just nods and looks bored. I feel Katniss roll her eyes from beside me and I tug on her hand to make her walk faster.

"Finnick! It's so nice of you to finally join us! Oh, and you brought Katniss with you? Oh, its a pleasure meeting you dear. It's so nice to finally meet the girl who stole Finnick Odair's heart!" Lucinda chirps, pulling Katniss into a hug. The girl who stole Finnick Odair's heart huh? The Capitol and their stupid titles. She looks at me weirdly but just shrugs it off, knowing that this is the typical Capitol behaviour when meeting someone new. "Finnick, these are your tributes. Perseus and Mel-" I cut her off, bored with her speech. Does she ever stop talking?

"Melanie. Yes, I've heard. You certainly made an entrance." I purr seductively, walking around Melanie, inspecting her. Yeah, she'll get a lot of sponsors. From people who want to fuck her later. It's sad to know what she'll have to do when she wins, but that's the cost if she wants to survive.

"Thanks. It's and honour to be meeting you and Ms. Everdeen. You two look really cute as a couple." She says, smiling at Katniss, who surprisingly smiles back at her. That's unexpected. I thought she was going to be like me. Flirtatious and narcissistic, using our looks for our own advantage. Katniss certainly didn't have to do that, I mean yes she's the most beautiful person I've ever met, and the most beautiful victor, as Gloss had said before. But she didn't need to flirt or be arrogant, just her presence is overwhelming, and you just want to be acknowledged and to be given her attention. Or maybe that's just me? I'm not sure. "But, if she wasn't your date, I would be happy to take her place." She whispers into my ear, quiet enough so that only I can hear it, pulling me out of my thoughts. Yup, there it is.

"It's Katniss." Katniss says shortly, glancing at me with worry. "Where's Mags? I haven't seen her anywhere." I love how she's worried about Mags.

"Mags' sleeping on our floor." Perseus mumbles, looking shyly at Katniss, causing me to chuckle. "Oh, Finnick she told me to remind you that you have a meeting at 7 at the hotel across the street. I'm not so sure with who or why but she told me to tell you that." Oh shit. I almost forgot. Another appointment with Mrs. Sivvone. Oh, how I just love having appointments with married people. Note the sarcasm.

"Shit, I almost forgot. I have to go now." I sigh and rub my temple, looking over at Katniss who seems displeased after hearing the news from Perseus. "I'll see you later in the mentor's lounge or in your room." I tell her, kissing her forehead, making her blush beet red. Perseus chuckles and Melanie squeals in excitement. This girl sure is bipolar, one minute she's hitting on me and the next she's squealing because I kissed Katniss' forehead. Katniss rolls her eyes and nods, shooing me off, telling me not to be late and reminding me of the consequences. My eyes widen and I nod, running outside of the Training Centre and heading to the hotel. This ought to be a fun night, I think sarcastically, filled with dread.

Katniss' POV

"Shit, I almost forgot. I have to go now." Finnick sighs and rubs his temple, looking over at me. He still has appointments? Isn't he getting a break like last time? "I'll see you later in the mentor's lounge or in your room."He tells me, kissing my forehead, making me blush beet red. Why do I always blush because of him? It's just Finnick. Yeah right Katniss. He's 'Just Finnick', the guy that moved all the way to the Capitol to be with you and managed to break down your walls and make you feel again. Shit, maybe I do really love him. Perseus chuckles and Melanie squeals in excitement. She's going to be in the Hunger Games in a week and here she is squealing because Finnick kissed my cheek. She sure needs to act more strong and independent to win. I roll my eyes and nod, shooing Finnick off, telling him not to be late and reminding him of the consequences. I do not want to be meet James again. If only there was someway I could alleviate his suffering. I sigh and seeFinnick's eyes widen and he nods, running outside of the Training Centre and heading to the hotel.

"Where is he going?" Melanie asks, her eyebrows furrowed in concern. I misjudged her, thinking she would be like Finnick. Narcissistic, flirtatious and arrogant, but she turned out to be actually nice and considerate. She kind of reminds me of Madge in a way.

"He has a meeting with the Game Makers. To plan out the arena and everything. Sometimes, they let mentors give suggestion and inputs." I tell her quickly, hoping that my lie would sound believably. She looks skeptical, but then hesitantly nods. "I have to go meet Johanna and Blight, I'll see you both soon." I tell them, walking towards the elevator, punching the floor number for the mentor's lounge. I wonder how Thalia's doing. She's probably having a rough time, loosing her district partner. I know how that feels like. Although Thalia and her district partner were not nearly as close as I was with Peeta, and did not have the history that we had. I'll go ask Johanna and Blight about her. I'm not so sure why I was so rude to her last time, I'll just apologise to her when I see her next time. The elevator door opens and I see the mentor's lounge deserted except for Blight, who is sitting on the couch by himself and Cecilia and Woof, who seem to be in the middle of an intense conversation. I walk over to Blight and join him on the couch, he's looking at the board that estimates the tributes' chances of winning. "Where's Johanna and the others?" I ask him, looking around for her and the other mentors. Where are they? He glances at me, eyebrows furrowed and sigh.

"Johanna's at an appointment. So are some others. That's why it's so quiet." He says quietly, going back to being silent. So that's what Finnick and Blight were talking about in the hovercraft when we wanted to get Thalia. It's not only Finnick who's forced into prostitution. Gloss, Cashmere, Johanna, hell maybe even Brutus and Enobaria.

"So why are you-" I ask him hesitantly, not wanting to sound rude and intrusive but genuinely wanting to know why he wasn't forced into prostitution like I am too. Then why is he here?

"My games were perfect. Not in the way you and I, along with any other victor would think but it was perfect to Snow. I killed 6 children and I was vicious and ruthless. I lived up to their expectations. I was forced into prostitution by Snow but since Finnick won, I didn't have to do any of it because the Capitol had found someone better to, well, fuck." He says, rolling his eyes. I wince when he mentions Finnick and all of his Capitol lovers who just want to fuck him. Oh Finnick. It's like the odds are never in your favour. Blight and I sit there, watching the lights flicker on the board in awkward silence.

"How are your tributes?" I ask him, trying to start a conversation to end the awkward silence. He shrugs, and slump back in his seat.

"They're both uncharismatic and they both have no skill whatsoever. Guess District 7 won't have a winner this year. Not that I thought we were, it's rare to win two times in a row. The only exception were Cashmere and Gloss, the siblings who won the games in a row." He says bluntly, putting his feet on the table in front of us. I guess that's what happens when you mentor for too long. You get hopeless and you don't care about them anymore. Well that won't happen to me, I'm determined to bring one of my tributes home. I hope it'll be Alice but if it does get down to Todd and some other tributes, I'll help him, unwillingly that is. He's still and arrogant, pompous ass. "You? What about your tributes?"

"Alice seems nice and with Cinna's help, maybe I make her look desirable for the sponsors. I'm not too sure about her skills and strategy though." I tell him quietly. He nods in understanding then glances back at me.

"And the boy?"

"Todd? He's pretty strong and just oh-so-handsome, as I recall him saying." I say sarcastically, gritting my teeth in the process. "No, he's just some arrogant, narcissistic, self-righteous, pompous bastard who doesn't care about anyone and only wants to win for himself." I growl, clenching my fists in irritation. Blight laughs, clutching his hands over his stomach, his loud laugh, filling the mentor's lounge.

"Looks like you have another Finnick then! Lucky you Ms. Everdeen, people would die for one Finnick and here you have two!" He says jokingly, Finnick? Todd is so different from Finnick. Blight can't seriously think that right? I roll my eyes and smack his shoulder, glaring at him.

"Ha-Ha. Very funny. Todd is so different from Finnick. I can see it in his eyes. The glint of anger and thirst for blood and victory is there. Finnick's more like me. We changed and we killed to survive, for our family." I tell him, my face twisting slightly when I mentioned Finnick and my similarity. Did I really just compare Finnick with me? And say that he's like me? Blight chuckles and raises his arms in surrender, not saying another word but still having an amused smirk on his face. Ugh, I know he's probably going to bring this up again some time soon.

"Which brings me to my next question. Why are you here? Not that you're presence is not superb and unwelcome or anything. But I don't recall you being here all that much before the games even started the last Hunger Games." He asks me, tilting his head to the side in confusion.

"I'm not too fond of Todd. And I don't look forward to sleep on the same floor as he is. Maybe with me being there, it'll ruin his beauty sleep because of his constant need to tell me that he's going to win and that he doesn't need my help." I tell him with venom spitting out of my words.

"Wait, he actually said that he doesn't need your help?" Blight asks, his eyes widening in surprise. If that surprises you, wait till you actually meet him.

"That and a bunch of other things that he'll regret saying when he's in the arena. Charmer, he is." I say sarcastically, rolling my eyes in irritation.

"Then why don't you just sleep on Finnick's floor?" He says cheekily.

"And why would I do that?" I ask him, trying to mask up the fact that I have actually done that and the rumours spreading that me and Finnick are sleeping together, in a sexual way.

"Well, from what I've heard. The people from his appointments aren't the only ones getting it from Finnick." He says teasingly, guffawing at the end of his sentence. What the hell! Who does he think I am? A sleazy whore? I've just got together with Finnick for a month, and none of them actually even know that! I growl and shake my head, smacking the back of his head in irritation. "God, okay Katniss! I get it. You both aren't sleeping together and are strictly professional, just fellow mentors. God, you didn't need to hit me." He says, rubbing the back of his head.

"You've been in the Hunger Games and now you're complaining about a hit to the head from a girl? Real manly." I say sarcastically, laughing lightly.

"From a strong girl! Who has muscles! Who in fact won the Hunger Games too, if you have forgotten." He complains, defending his pride.

"Yeah, but I'm not the one complaining about a small hit to the head." I tell him, which makes him roll his eyes. He growls and pushes me off the couch, making me hit the floor of my ass. "Hey!" I shout when I see him smiling in victory.

"Who's complaining now?" He says, but I use my leg to kick him down onto the floor as well. We laugh for a couple of minutes but am silenced when someone coughs to break us up from our fit of laughter. I look up, still laughing slightly and see a pair of green eyes. Finnick.

"Sorry, am I interrupting something?"

AN: Sorry for the cliffhanger, I wanted to continue but then I decided to put it in the next chapter and to give some suspense in the end of this chapter. So, Like it? Hate it? Please tell me in your reviews! Your opinion means a lot to me and I always look forward to see the reviews I get. And don't hesitate to suggest ideas and to tell me what you want in the upcoming chapters. Credits to 'Kkzsofi' and 'annieledark' for the idea about Todd being strong, career-like and not liking Katniss and everything. And also to 'Kat' about the characterisation for Melanie, don't worry she's not going to be a major antagonist in this story but she'll also be flirting with Finnick so don't worry 'annieledark'! PLEASE REVIEW! Reviews = Love and another chapter tomorrow!
