Note: I skipped the last family meetings and the train ride because I find them boring and my oc character Cole won't be very involved or detailed as he was just a substitute for Peeta's character. Also, I wanted katniss to meet her soulmates in real life rather than through the tv.

I was woken up by Effie telling me this was a big big day. I knew what was happening and got up filled with excitement, usually I'm not a morning person but I was eager to show those arrogant careers what I was made of. I jumped in the shower and quickly washed myself. After I was finished I redid my braid straight down my back and slipped into my training uniform. It was made of latex that fitted my body like a glove, it showed my curves well whilst still leaving something to the imagination. I stepped out of my room to find the rest of my district companions waiting for me. We sat and ate breakfast in relative silence until the end when Haymitch told us not to show the competition any skills that we may have. As if I would listen to him, I honestly have no respect forq his drunken ass.

After pretending to listen to haymitch's rant, me and Cole headed towards the elevator. I waited until it beeped-signalling its opening-and stepped forward into it. We reached the ground floor with no interruptions. I quickly realised that we were the last tributes to come down as when the door opened, everybody's gazes turned to us. I automatically schooled my features into a smirk and raised an eyebrow in a silent challenge, many gazes quickly flitted away except the careers who smirked as if recognising one of their own. Unlike me, Cole blushed to the tops of his ears in embarrassment. I scoffed. Pathetic. We were given the annual lecture by Atala, then we were free to go to work.

I walked straight over to the sword station and picked up the largest, it felt right in my hands. I gave a few practice swings, not like I needed them, then started on the dummies. I sliced through them like a hot knife through butter and left a mass of, what would be, decimated bodies. I noticed everyone watching me and gave a mock curtesy, sword still firmly grasped in my hand. I then turned towards the archery targets, that currently stood about 15 metres from me, and launched the sword from my grip. Most ducked, thinking I'd gone insane and was trying to kill them, but my sword had firmly lodged itself in the bullseye of the target.

I would've gone to collect it myself but the handsome tribute from two beat me to it. He dislodged the sword and brought it to me. "Thanks ..." He realised I was asking for his name and quickly supplied " Oh, I'm Cato." "Could you possibly be Cato Stone" I ask, this could get interesting. He replied quickly with a smooth yet curious "yes, why?" I quickly pulled up the right sleeve of my training uniform to reveal the neat cursive of his name running from my wrist to the inside if my elbow. He gasped, then gave me a charming smile "so you must be Katniss Everdeen?" "Yes that's me, this just got so much more complex. I mean how on earth are we supposed to survive th... Wait how many soulmarks do you have?" "I only have one, yours, what about you?" " Please don't judge too quickly, I didn't choose this, I have eleven in total."

He stood still in thought for a moment then frowned. I prayed he wouldn't turn angry as his approval would mean the world. " That means I'll have to share you doesn't it" he whined with an almost pout on his face. I laughed and smacked his chest"I'm so glad you aren't angry." "Why would I be angry, as long as they love and care for you like I will they'll have nothing to worry about." He grinned at me but then looked over my shoulder and rolled his eyes. "What's wrong?" "It's nothing just my friends being idiots, do you want to meet them?" "Sure this should be fun" I say smirking.
