Chapter Three: The Training and Avoxes

The doors into the Training Center closed, and there wasn't any light except for Katniss's synthetic flames, and Kaneki's red, glowing iris. "Katniss." she was surprised to hear him mention her, but looked into his eye. "Yes?" "Do you have any family?" it sounded sincere, but she couldn't tell. "Yes, I have a little sister named Prim, and I have my mother." "What about your father?"

She looked down. "He died in a mining accident." He looked as if he knew he had touched a sensitive subject, and apologized. "Sorry." Katniss was sad, but she felt like she needed to keep up the conversation. "What about you, Kaneki? Do you have any family?" His eye flashed a shade of anger, then guilt. The lights came on.

"I lost my father at a young age, and my mother was such a nice woman. She died from overworking. She worked for my household, which was just us, but she worked and gave money to my aunt. She used to say all the time, 'It's better to be the one hurt, then to hurt another.' But she lied. I moved in with my aunt, and she was nice at first. But eventually…things happened. She died too, so I lived alone. I had a friend named Hide, but he's now gone. After something happened, I had a choice to make, but I sat and did nothing. Someone else once told me that, 'All of the disadvantages in this world stems from a person's lack of ability.'"

He stopped himself, and looked over at me. His eye was no longer red, and his usual sad, dead, dull grey eye was back. Before they had anything else to say, they got out of the chariot, and headed to elevator to take them to their room, but not before Cinna extinguished Katniss's flames. They pushed the button for 12, and they were soon there.

Their rooms were even nicer than the rooms on the train. They had luxurious showers with hundreds of buttons, and as Katniss was eating a goose liver and bread, Effie had called her to dinner. Since she was starving, she was happy. She arrived at the dinner area, and saw it was just her, Cinna, and Kaneki's head designers. She didn't know any of them, so she was a bit hesitant to sit with them, but two out of the three looked friendly enough, that and she was hungry, sat down to eat.

A silent man offers them all a glass of wine, and Katniss was about to refuse when she thought, 'When will I ever get the chance again?' She tasted the tart, dry liquid, and secretly thought it could be improved with a couple spoonfuls of honey.

Haymitch showed up just when they started to eat, and he looked as sober as he ever was. He was clean, shaven, and not drunk for once. While we're eating, a girl comes along with a cake and sets it on fire. It burns for a while before it finally went out, and she turned to the girl and asked, "What makes it burn? Is it alcohol? That's the last thing I wa – oh! I know you!"

Katniss looked at the girl, and she was certain she knew her. The porcelain white skin, the dark red hair, her striking features. The girl shook her head and quickly ran away. The six other people looked at me like hawks, and Effie said the first thing. "Don't be ridiculous, Katniss. How could you possibly know an Avox? The very thought."

I stupidly asked, "What's and Avox?" Haymitch responded this time. "Someone who committed a crime. They cut her tongue out so she can't speak. She's probably a traitor of some sort. Not likely you'd know her." "And even if you did, you're not to speak to them unless it's to give an order, of course, you don't really know her." Effie adds.

"No, I guess not, I just-" she began to stammer, and the wine wasn't helping her case. "Delly Cartwright." Kaneki made himself known to the group then, and then sat down besides Katniss, before Cinna begins to explain how the cake lit on fire to Katniss. Haymitch turned to them, and said, "Tomorrow morning is the first training session. Meet me for breakfast and I'll tell you exactly how I want you to play it, now go get some sleep while the grown-ups talk."
