Oh ya chapter 29, have anyone been waiting or following me… do you not care about me I excuse vhs and Rachel (cause vhs is moving) but for the rest of the world (turns around and cries) I just don't feel the love, is it something I said, or do you want longer chapters (I been trying, but my fingers do hurt, and I run out of things to write) or do you just read and don't care for my feelings.

What have I done, I have just ruined it all and it might reflect on Fin. "Oh god Fin." I thought, sliding down the wall I was leaning on and tucked my knees up under my chin, arms wrapped around them, my as head burred into them.
Footsteps came to a stop beside me, looking up and found Fin coming to sit beside me.
We sat in silence for a moment before I broke it.
"I'm sorry." I told him, looking at my shoes.
"Don't be, this must be hard on you being the least experienced." he said with a cheeky grin, but it was also sad.
Laughing weakly I gave a nod. "Fin I'm up against past victors, there more experienced, they know how to use a weapon, they done this before, I don't think I would even make it through the bloodbath even if I did, who would sponsor me?" I told him with a sob which I tried to hold in.
"You got me, I won't let anything happen to you." he whispered in my ear.
"You can't protect me all the time Fin." I pointed out to him, looking at him with a lost look in my eyes.
"I could try." he whispered, holding my head to his chest as he stroked my hair.
"Come on lets get something to eat." he said, shaking my shoulders lightly a grin on his face.
"Ya, I'm starving and I hope there's more then fish." I joked making him laugh.
When we made our way into the dining area, I see katniss and peeta eating with chaff from district eleven; he won in his games in a brutal manner. And he's also pipers mentor, confliction was inside of her, should she talk to him or not?
Making up my mined I head towards him, slowing down a little out of self- concise but I was already at there table before I could retreat.
"e-e-excuse me but m-my names Maryanne a-and I would l-like to ask you a question." I managed to squeak out, making katniss and peeta turn to me and for chaff to stare up at me from his food.
"You talking to me." chaff asked, pointing to himself.
"Yes, I would like to ask about- hum..." I hesitated to ask, but he nudged me on with a look.
"About a friend of mine." I said softly, making katniss and peeta raise questioning looks and chaff to keep on eating.
"Ya, who?" he said, taking a bit of chicken.
"Piper rabbi, sir." I told him, making him spit out his chicken and making katniss turn so fast I think she would get a shoulder cramp.
"And why would you want to know about her?" he said, hand on the table and standing up to face me.
"As I said we're- fri-ends" I told him worried a little at his reaction.
"And how are you friends? Your from four and she's from eleven" katniss put in.
"Never mi-mined" I told them, scurrying away back to Fin.
"Now what was that?" he said, once I joined him which he was sitting with Johanna, and seeder trying to slow my beating heart.
"If the girl-on-fire did anything to you I will ring her neck." Johanna said, tearing into a bread roll.
"No, no I was just asking a question is all." I said, savagely getting mashed potatoes with gravy, a yellow like pudding, soy beans, turkey and more. When I looked up I could see the amused looks on Fin and Johanna's faces, seeder looked more upset and a little pitying.
"Sorry." I told them softly, wiping the gravy that got on my cheeks and a little in my hair off.
"You look as though you haven't ate in years." Johanna laughed out of her seat.
"Well you get tired when all you eat is fish." I retorted, more firmly then I ever had in my life.
"Sorry." but yet she kept laughing, and it made me start giggling and soon enough all four of us were laughing our head off, getting strange looks from other tables.
"o-o-ok back to t-training." Fin managed to get out as we headed back in the training center.
I spent most of my time learning to use a slingshot, which I could hit the target three time's out of five.
I quit liked it, it was fun learning something new.
But then Fin came, and took me by the arm and was leading me to the knot-tying station where katniss was learning fishing tips, and there he introduced me to katniss.
"We met already." I said, interrupting him. I got a good look at katniss, her hair was slightly wavy a chestnut brown in its original signature side Dutch braid, smoky gray eyes that remind her of the smoky mountains in North Carolina. She was pretty, if not beautiful.
"But its nice to meet you anyway." I told her, giving her a small smile shifting from foot to foot uncomfortably. She gave me a nod in reply a small uneasy smile on her face to looking a little forced.
We stay for a little bit, Finnick showing me the proper way to tying knots. But I still end up with knots.
"Even with help all I get is knots!" I said, with a sigh making the three of us laugh.
"I thought since you're from district four, you would be good at this?" katniss said, giving me a curious look which makes me stiffens.
What to tell her, I'm from a parallel universe and I know all about you? Never.
"I didn't live in district four till half a year ago." I said and left it at that.
They fell silent, digesting this information. Till I got up and made my way to the poisons plants.
~katniss pov~
After training, peeta and I hang out, waiting for Haymitch and Effie to show up for dinner. When we're called to eat, Haymitch pounces on me immediately. "So at least half the victors have instructed their mentors to request you as an ally. I know it can't be your sunny personality." He said, sarcastically.
"They saw her shoot." says peeta with a smile. "Actually I saw her shoot, for real, for the first time. I'm going to put in a formal request myself." he said.
"You're that good." Haymitch asks me. "so good that Brutus wants you?" He said in bewilderment.
I shrugged. "Don't want Brutus. I want district three and ... Maryanne I need to tell you about her." I lean into him, and whisper this in his ear. And he gives a nod.
"Of course you do." he sighs. "I'll tell everybody you're still making up your mind."
Once they were through with dinner peeta and Effie excused themselves.
Me and Haymitch got down to business. "What is it darling?" Haymitch said, taking a swing of wine.
"She Knew piper, you now my ally from my hunger games, she asked chaff about her saying she was her friend." I told him.
He sat his bottle down, and paid attention as I told him this.
"So darling your telling me this girl from four knows district elevens escapee?" he said, eyes knitted together in thought.
"That's what she said, do you think this has to do with Diana and piper?" I questioned him.
He looked down in thought. "Diana knew this piper girl, and Maryanne knew piper, it makes no since and yet in a way it does." he thought also saying it aloud.
now he was confusing me. "What do you mean, your making no since?" I huffed at him.
"Think of it this way darling Diana knew piper even though there from two different places like Diana's in the capitol and piper is from district eleven, now this Maryanne girl comes in and she's from district four saying she knows piper, now isn't that a coincidence Darleen?" he said, sitting back in his chair.
"But how do they know each other, there not from the same districts?" I told him confused.
"Well there is a coincidence now, piper was in your hunger games but got out, Diana is your stylist, and Maryanne is with Finnick odair who is trying to be your ally, that's connected together so we got a lead." he said, standing up with his bottle.
"Where are you going?" I ask him.
"Going to have a chat with someone." he said, leaving me confused.
~Haymitch pov~
"Things aren't right, and something's going on here? Is she also in on the rebellion or is she a spy what does that women know" I thought, making my way into the designing room of cinna`s.
I didn't fine the women, but I found cinna. "Do you know where Diana is?" I asked him, once he turned around to face me.
"She stepped out for a bit, can I help you?" he said, a sincere look on his face.
"What are you up to!" I shouted at him, slamming him to the wall.
He didn't even flinch as though he was expecting this, which made my suspicion level up a notch.
"I can't tell you that, all I can say is we are on your side." he said, and I let go of his neck collar.
"You know don't you" I said, stating a fact not a question.
"The rebellion." I continued, taking another swing of wine which wasn't cutting it.
"Yes, we're part of it." he said, straightening himself.
"How much you know?" I said, eyeing him for information.
"I know more then you think." he said.
~Maryanne pov~
Training went as always I suppose? I learned to use a slingshot, edible plants, edible insects, fire making, hammock making, rope course, shelters, swimming and tree climbing no weapons really except my Punjab lasso which I take pride in, of sorts it's something no one else can do and I can defend myself. I won't just kill a person; just knock them out so I can get away.
The private sessions are today, and I been on edge all day not even Fin can calm me down, and I tell him this but he still tries.
We each get fifteen minutes with the gamemakers to amaze them with our skills, but I don't know what to show them. There is a lot of kidding around at lunch. What we might do, sing, dance, strip (which I hope no one does) tell jokes.
Maybe I should do what mags did in the book take a nap.
"Hey what's with the long face." Fin says, bumping my shoulder with his cheeky grin as always.
"I'm scared Fin." I tell him, shaking from head to toe.
He rub's up and down my arm, to try and comfort me.
Then its his turn.
"Wait what are you going to do?" I said, forgotten for a moment that I already knew.
"Going to ask them for an eleven." he said, with a grin leaving through the metal doors.
Fifteen minutes pass, and I'm called next I stood up to quickly making the chair fall behind me, making some of the victors laugh. But I see Johanna and katniss not laughing, which I was thankful for.
I walk inside, and put on edge once I looked up at the gamemakers. They were unmoved just waiting for me to make my move. But in truth I had no idea what to do.
"h-hi I can't really do anything like the other victors, even if I could they would just do it better so the truth is no matter what I do it won't put me up with there scores, so do what you please with my score." I said, playing with the hemi of my training shirt.
I glanced at there faces, seeing there eyes wide as though no one ever said any thing or did anything like this before.
Soon enough time ran out, with me just standing there and I left.
~Diana pov ~
Stepping out for a while to clear my head was a good choice, I felt guilty for not meeting katniss or peeta at the chariot like I said I would but… I just couldn't face seeing Maryanne.
"What's happening to me." I cried softly, I'm losing it that's what! to scared to face my own friends and hiding secrets was taking its toile.
"Suck it up and go see katniss." I mentally told myself, rubbing my eyes and headed to twelve level penthouse.
They were all seated when I arrived for dinner, and an empty seat in-between cinna and Portia I felt touched.
My eyes instantly found katniss, and I gave a warm smile to her and she returned it.
Peetas hands are faintly stained with a variety of colors, even though his hair is damp from bathing.
"Seems the wandering maiden returns." Cinna says jokingly, pulling the chair out for me to be seated and pushing me in, which I smiled in thanks. And turned to glare at Portia who was giggling madly.
Peeta seemed to get it and started to laugh as well, and Haymitch was smiling over the rime of his cup of wine but a suspicious gleam was there that i had no clue for why. The only ones who didn't seem to get it were katniss and cinna himself.
I looked to Haymitch for help, and he rolled his eyes. "All right, so how did your private sessions go?" He questioned like I knew he would say.
Peeta went first.
"Well, I-I did the camouflage thing, like you subjected katniss." he hesitates. "Not exactly camouflage, I mean I used the dyes."
"To do what." Portia asked.
"He made a painting of rue." I said forgetting a moment where I was and what not to say.
The room went quiet, and everyone's head's turned to me.
"How did you know?" peeta said, confused. Hum- I couldn't think of a good excuse at the moment seeing as I was mentally yelling at myself.
"What did you do katniss?" cinna said, trying to get the attention off of me as I gladly accepted and showed it with my face.
This seemed to work but Haymitch was still giving me a suspicious look, which I hope he will forget soon.
"I guess this a bad time to mention I hung a dummy and painted Seneca crane's name on it." she said, which I smiled at her for.
"You…. Hung…. Seneca crane?" cinna said, looking over at me which I gave an innocent smile in return.
"Yes, I was showing off my new knot-tying skills, and he somehow ended up at the end of the noose." she said, in defense.
And just like in the book it continued.
Then the talk of allies drew my attention.
"We decided we don't want any other allies in the arena."
"Good. Then I wont be responsible for you killing off any of my friends with your stupidity." Haymitch says.
"That's just what I was thinking." katniss countered.
We eat in silence till cinna puts his arm around katniss and gave a squeeze.
"Come on and lets go get those training scores."
He takes my hand and we all gather around the television set and a red-eyed Effie rejoined us.
They went through.
Katniss asks If ever given a zero.
"No, but there's a first time for everything." me and cinna answered at the same time, and we look at each other with wide grins.
And again Portia sets off the giggles leaving the others stifle there own.
Katniss still looks confused till peeta whispers something to her, and her face widens like a cats.
My face was full on red, and I could see a hint of a blush on cinna though his face was normal.
I don't see the first six scores because of the embarrassment but I do hear the twelve's katniss and peeta pulled off.
"Well that's good." I say, smiling at them, who give me bewildered looks.
"How?" peeta asks.
"You'll see." I tell them mysteriously, walking away not knowing that cinna was following.
"That was close you know." he said, close to my ear, making me jump.
"Don't scare me like that." I told him, wagging my finger at him making him crack a smile.
"Just be more careful ok." he said taking my hand in his, and giving it a kiss on my knuckles making me blush.
"Good night." cinna said, walking to his room.
"Good nigh.t" I replied back, going to sleep with the thoughts of the quarter quell and cinna.
~Maryanne pov~
I waited with battered breath, cutting the circulation off in Fin's hand I'm curtain.
"You will be fine." he said, rubbing my shoulders a playful grin on his face.
"Says the man that can manipulate anyone he wants!" I retorted.
"I can't manipulate you" he said, poking me in the nose.
The fuelling around stops as the scores starts… brutes, enobaria, gloss, cashmere, Fin all elevens and me…my god…. An eleven…..
"Wahhhhhhhhhhooooooooooo!" Fin yells, fists punching the air.
"What did you do?" nanny said, looking on in excitement.
I just sat there dumbstruck…. "Why did they give me an eleven?"
