Sorry for my mistake of the chapter being posted twice. But I fixed it now. Thank you!
Gathering around the train station is not exactly what I had I plan to spend my Friday morning. If I wasn't here I would still be at school but most of the time a sneak out and go hunting. It's not like I would get in to trouble, it's sort of become a daily thing were the teachers ask where I am but they already know that I will not be turning up to class or for the rest of the day. I do try to attend school for three full days a week but if it's necessary of me to go hunt then I will. The crowed is increasingly growing as other people from the seam gather in. All of the town's people are up the front. I stand near some of the kids from the community house, the younger ones are becoming tired some I pick up a small 3 year old girl and a little boy; Charlie leans on my leg. We don't know why exactly we are waiting here. Problem someone important coming to visit, not that I really care. I can tell the others don't want to be here as all are getting bored and either way if someone from the capital comes we don't have any respect or care for that being. But we still must show that we have some, at time I find it hard just to try and be polite.
The only other times I come down to the train station is when the peacekeepers supply train comes in. This train brings many boxes of food, clean bottled water and some clothing items. Every once in three months the train comes in, myself and a few of the older kids will head down and hide out. When the train stops it opens the carriages and they start to unload and stake the boxes. We get some of the kids to try and distract the peacekeepers so the rest of us can take a few boxes. By the means of distracting the kids pretend to fight, this then gets there attention and must try to stop them. Once the peacekeepers are closer the kids take off running then hopefully they chase. This allows us time to pick up a few boxes and take them back home with us. With the supplies we bundle up, diving them equally and then distribute to families in the seam and for us.
The train is in view and slows down coming to a stop. More peacekeepers step out, they have fresh white suits. The ones in our district have an off white colour probably caused by the coal dust. Then a tall muscular man steps out, I realise this is a victor from two; Brutus. Followed by him is a female victor Enobaria, with her sharp teeth smiling at the crowd. My crowed seems to murmur about why they have come to visit the district. But then a large man, in this early 20's steps out. Cato, I remember his games. One of the most haunting games that I've seen. He has golden blond hair that shines in the sunlight, a body that looks like it was created by the gods and has piercing blue eyes that remind me of the wild husky eyes that I have seen in winter hunting. His piercing eyes look over the people and just for a moment we lock eyes. As I stare into them I see that they are cold but captivating. He is then lead of the platform and taken away in a car.
The crowd leaves but with many people wondering and asking why the victors from 2 are here.
Cato's POV-
Looking over the people in district 12 really dose show that they are scrum. Most of them are skin and bones. All have a look of surprise or tiredness. I scan over the crowd, no wonder why this district hasn't had a winner just looking at the kids here shows that I could just touch them and they would break. Then my eyes land on a grey eye girl. There's something different about her, she stands tall and strong with hr head held high. We lock eyes it's almost as she can see right through me. I try to read her but her eyes give nothing away. They seem to have fire burning in them but yet it is contained behind a cold glare. Yet she is beautiful... Wait no I push that out of my head she is the dirt under my feet and even though this is a small district I am likely never going to meet or see her again. I am showed of stage and in a car with Enobaria and Brutus to the victor's village.
The house is small yet simply nothing like the ones in two but yet I find it calming. Peacekeepers place boxes of food and supplies in my room. There doesn't look like there will be enough food to last my three days. Brutus and Enobaria realises this and question one peacekeeper.
'We had problem with unstacking them' he say quiet and shaky, 'some of the boxes of goods were stolen'
'By who?' Brutus asks
'Some kids from the seam we can never catch them'
Then I laugh at this, the peacekeepers all stop and stare at me thinking I might be having a insane moment. I see Brutus and Enobaria raise there eyebrows at me.
'You let kids steal from you. You can't catch seam kids. They out smarted you peacekeepers.' I do find this funny the fact that poor dirt can outsmart some peacekeepers. Brutus and Enobaria start to gin and laugh at this too. The peacekeepers all look at each other and hurry to leave.
'Did you find someone to kill and torture is that what's so funny?' Haymitch say slurred surprising us of his appearance. 'Or did you make someone cry?'
'Oh no my dear old friend Haymitch, just find your system of peacekeepers lacking there ability. Or is there ability letting filthy seam children outsmart them?' Brutus barks.
'Oh you must mean that girl and her gang oh yes but you see you won't be laughing when she beats you.'
'Not a chance, no one can beat or outsmart me at anything' I say.
Haymitch gives me a smug look but I ignore that.
