I don't own the hunger games!
Please please please review!
Ch3
After we get to the justice building. Katniss and I are led to a table where Haymitch is waiting for us. Haymitch won the 50th hunger games and is the only living victor in district 12. And because of that he is going to be our mentor. Katniss still has not spoken more than a few words to me but that's ok, just being in the same room as her is enough to keep me happy. We stand in front of Haymitch while he looks us over.
"Do you have any skills?" he asks. Katniss shakes her head.
"That's not true you should see what she can do with a bow."I deafened
"We'll look at you, you can lift heavy objects. I've seen you at the bakery." She retorts.
"Do you have any skill with that knife you holding?" asks Haymitch seeing katniss fingering a steak knife. In response she throws the knife in the panel of the door. A perfect shot. Haymitch nods with a smile on his face.
"We might actually have a chance at winning this year." he chuckles. We are interrupted by Effie Trinket telling us that dinner is ready. It's kind of hard to take Effie seriously with the pink wig she wears and her strange capital accent. She herds us into a large dining room with tons of fancy food. We are led to a table and have plates set in front of me. I glance at katniss who is practically inhaling the food. It's all delicious; most of the food is hard or impossible to come by in district 12, steak, fresh fruit and vegetables, and tons of other types of meats. As we eat I can see Effie looking at us.
"You two have very nice manners the last tributes didn't even eat with silverware." She shutters as if the memory disturbs her. I think it's ridiculous how Effie is constantly critiquing everyone. She can't be perfect either, but she is from the capitol so she probably thinks she is. I also notice this annoys katniss too and she makes a point to eat the rest of the meal with her hands
After we finish dinner we all go into a big room with two couches and a big flat television to watch the recap of the reapings. This is our chance to see what the compotation will be like. The careers from the
First few districts are giant, and I begin to doubt that I can keep katniss alive through the compotation.
By the time we get to district 12 Effie has gone to bed and Haymitch is passed out drunk. It's hard to watch the recap of the games. To see katniss volunteer makes my heart sink. And then I get called. I watch my pale face as I walk up to the stage. I know I will die in these games but I wont die as the capitals pawn. Everyone will remember Peeta Melark.
