Katniss POV

Walking out of the train I was blinded by the flashing lights and all I heard were screams of excitement from the onlooking capital citizens. I kept my eye ahead of me and marched forward following Haymitch until we stepped into a car that took us to the tribute centre. We took the elevator up to the 12th floor where Effie tells us we are 'very, very special to be in the penthouse'. Haymitch tells us to clean up and meet for a late afternoon lunch were we will take about 'rules and shit'.

My room is much bigger than the room on the train and on one wall there is a visual image of a forest. I start to think about the woods in twelve, how free and in controlled I felt. But now I feel like a prisoner waiting for my execution. I decide to have a quick shower before I get distracted thinking of my old life. Once I'm done a slip on some black pants, a black sports shirt with district 12 emblem on the shoulders and slip on a pair of boots that resemble my old hunting boots back at home. I walk out and sit on the couches waiting for the others to show up.

Jackson walks out with eyes that look like he has been crying. 'Come here' I say, he walks over and cuddles up next to me. I wrap a protective arm around him and murmur things like it's going to be ok and you will be fine. He calms down after a while and we sit there talking about the fun times we had in the community home.

'I remember when I first walked in and placed my things on my new bed when those guys came in and started to push me around and then you came in and told them to leave. I didn't understand how you did that" Jacksons says

"What did you mean you don't understand how I did that?"

"Well you didn't even have to threaten them or put up a fight. Those guys just left"

"Well Jackson when I first went into the home those same guys came in to bully me. So I stood my ground and showed them that they could not easily push me over. I guess after that they must have found some respect for me or they got scared a girl could beat their asses" we both laugh at this.

"I don't know how to be brave like you"

"Jackson I'm not always brave, half the time I'm scared shitless. Like right now being here in the capital I'm nervous for what the future hold for me, for us. All I want to do is run and hide but I know that won't solve anything"

We both stay quiet after this, both thinking about our future that is until we smell the food being served in the dining room. Jackson and I both have something to eat but not as much as we did when we were on the train in hopes we don't feel sick.

"You will both be required to spend the rest of the day down in the training centre with the other tributes. Now are there any, how do I put this, special abilities that may help you in the arena?" asks Haymitch.

"Well I can run fast, I think" stutters Jackson

"You think?"

"He can" I wink at Jackson, this puts a small smile on his face.

"Well then I suggest you keep that to yourself don't show anyone your strengths. Understood"

"Yes Haymitch"

"Katniss?"

"What I said nothing about me having a special ability"

Haymitch barks at this, "Alight then you better get going, oh and Katniss no fighting"

"Can't promise anything" I say as Jackson and I walk into the elevator.
