Over the next few days Ethan and I spend as much time together as we can, and I only get pulled away when its 100% necessary, as it gets closer and closer to the reaping the more I worry about leaving Ethan for the games. Even though each day he gets happier I worry when I'm not here he will get worse again. And Soon enough, its Saturday, I awake normally and I have breakfast with Ethan. But at half 10 there is a soft excited knock at the door. "Ethan can you go get the door please?" I ask as I start the washing up. "Sure." He smiles as he stands up and as he pasts me he brushes my arm with his hand. My cheeks flush slightly as I fill the sink with dishes and water. A few seconds later I hear the door open and Leo say " Morning Ethan, Where is the Star of the show tomorrow!" very excitedly. " She's in the kitchen come on in Leo." Ethan replies and a few seconds later Leo comes bounding into the kitchen followed by Ethan. "Morning Leo." I smile as I carry on cleaning. " Morning! We have a very important day!" He sings happily. "Ok! Just let me finish this. and then we can go." I explain gesturing to the dishes. " I'll do it, Don't worry. Have a good day." Ethan smiles "Are you sure?" I ask. "Yeah, I'll sort dinner out for when you get back." He smiles honestly. "Thank you. I'll see you later." I smile as I dry my hands and hug him tightly. He walks Leo and I to the door and we hug again. "Bye, Have a good day." He smiles as we let go of each other at the door. Leo and I talk excitedly about the upcoming weeks, as we walk towards the justice building, he says he will be happy to be back in the Capitol even though he loves the scenery in district 11 and I am looking forward to the food, I'm just worried about being a mentor. "Leo what if the tributes don't listen to me? And their families blame me if they die?" I ask worriedly as we reach the doors of the justice building. "If they don't listen to you, it's their own fault you're the latest victor you know what it's like and you did what you needed to, so you could survive. Don't worry it will be fine." he explains putting both hands on my shoulders looking at me in the eye. I nod as we walk in taking in what Leo just said.

The rest of the day is long as I'm prepped on proceeder and my body is prepped, buffed and beautified for the cameras. The day reminds me of the times leading up to the games last year, getting told how to act and getting beautified for the citizens of the Capitol to stare at us. I eat with Aurora and Leo at lunch, having a beautiful meal of lamb stew with dried plums and chocolate fudge cake for desert. After lunch we run through the reaping which will start at precisely at 1pm tomorrow several times so it will all go right. Then we have the last few alterations to our outfits for tomorrow and just finally make the final preparations. By five everything is finished and I can go home. Aurora and Leo walk me to the Justice buildings main doors to say goodbye. "Right Very important day tomorrow! Remember get a good night's sleep! And you have to be back here for 12 so Aurora can get you ready." Leo chirps happily softly taking hold of Aurora's hand making her cheeks flush slightly. "Ok. Is there something going on between you two because as part of a team I think I should know?" I ask happily. "Erm we were going to wait and tell you in the Capitol, but I guess the cat's out of the bag. We're dating, ever since we met last year, we haven't stopped talking." Aurora explains as her cheeks turn bright red. "Aw you guys that's great!" I smile happily hugging them both.

I walk home happily at the news. I'm happy for Leo and Aurora, they are so perfect for each other. In no time at all I am happily walking through my front door. "Ethan I'm home." I call happily. "Hey Am! Dinner is almost ready, go clean up." He calls back happily from the kitchen. "Ok."I call as I slowly walk upstairs to the bathroom to wash the remainder of the makeup off. After washing my face I look in to the large mirror and I see someone that I haven't seen in over a year. I look like my mother. She was beautiful when she was young with hazel eyes and long flowing brown hair, But in her later years her hair was short and she was always so tired from working so hard, before her death where her body was swollen out of recognition when her and my father were attacked by tracker Jackers. After a few minutes of staring in the mirror I walk out of the bathroom, downstairs to the kitchen. when I walk into the kitchen I see Ethan has been very busy today. I see the kitchen has been cleaned and he has prepared a lovely looking meal. "What's all this?" I ask slightly stunned. "I thought we could have a meal together before you go to the Capitol tomorrow." Ethan explains blushing. "Aww thank you Ethan." I smile walking over to him and I hug him tightly, burring my face into his chest trying to stop tears from flowing from my eyes. "You're Welcome Amber. I just wanted to do something special before you left." He explains softly, wrapping his arms around me, resting his head on top of mine. We stand there for a few moments holding on to each other, I don't want to go tomorrow, I don't want to leave him. "So what's for dinner chef?" I ask as pulling away from him laughing slightly. "Well nothing as fancy as the Capitol food. But there is chicken soup for starters, then Steak and mashed potato and treacle sponge for afters." He explains slightly proud. "Wow! Ethan how did you get all of the stuff for the meal?"I ask stunned."I used the money I got from my parents deaths and my savings to buy everything I needed." He explains blushing again. "Ethan you didn't have to do that. I'll repay all of that money." I exclaim at him. "Don't worry about that now. Please sit down Amber time for dinner." He smiles as he walks over to one of the chairs at the table and pulls it out for me to sit on. "Thank you." I smile as I sit down and tuck the chair in. Ethan severs me course after course and its all amazingly cooked.

After the meals I sit back stuffed. "Ethan that was amazing I didn't know you could cook like that!" I say happily. "Yeah I always used to cook at home." He explains smiling at me. "Amber I have something for you." He explains as he stands up and walks over to the fire place and picks up a small black box. "What is it?" I ask excitedly as I walk over to him. "I want you to have this and wear it in the capitol and think of me." He explains handing me the small box. "Ok." I smile as I open it, I open it to see a beautiful necklace. "Wow" I say breathlessly. "Do you like it?" He asks nervously "Of course it's beautiful! I hope you didn't spend more money on me Ethan."I say staring at the necklace. "No. It was my families and I want you to have it." He says softly "what Ethan I don't think I could."I stutter. He smiles softly taking the box out of my hands placing it back on the fireplace and he picks the necklace and places it around my neck. He grabs my arm and pulls me in front to see. The necklace hangs elegantly around my neck and matches my bracelet. I look up into Ethan's eyes and I know he's won, the necklace is so beautiful. "Are you sure?" I ask softly. "Yes I want you to have it." He smiles softly."Ok. Come with me." I smile as I softly take his hand and lead him out of the kitchen/living room upstairs into the double room. "What are we doing in here?" Ethan asks softly and in the dark light I can see his cheeks blush. "Because, you have given me something so I want to give you something."I smile softly squeezing his hand. I pull him over to the large double bad and make him sit down. I then turn and walk over to a small wooden box on top of the large set of drawers. I rummage around the box for a few seconds until I find what I am looking for then I turn and walk back over to Ethan and take his hand and place a sliver chain around his wrist. "I want you to have this." I smile letting go of his hand. "Thank you Amber. But I don't need something to remember you with, you're always on my mind."He smiles wrapping his arms around me, to hug me. "I know, Same with me." I sigh as I move closer to Ethan suddenly getting cold. His body is warm and I feel save within his arms. I bury my face in his chest and slowly close my eyes.
