Letting Go-Chapter 3

Finnick and I were the last ones to the table. Malia gave him and shake of her head and made a joke about always being late and rubbing off on me. Finnick just laughed and shook his head. I giggled a little not wanting to fully enter the conversation, but not wanting to show that I was ignoring either. Malia wasn't fooled though. She turned to me.

"So, Vasilisa your name is really unusual! Does it mean something?" She asked in her perky capital accent. I found it kind of annoying, but I would never in a million years tell anyone that. I put my spoon down and looked at Malia with a smile, this was a normal question, no one really understood my name.

"It means sea in Russian," I said politely, Malia thought for a minute. District 4 was the fishing district, so it fit perfectly.

'Well I think it is a beautiful name. Your parents are very clever." She says I smile and nod my thanks. Finnick laughed

"It should mean 'trouble maker'. That would fit you perfectly!' He winced when he received a punch in the arm from me even though he knew I was joking.

"No! I am so not the trouble maker, that's you and you know it!" I said in my defense, looking at him with a smirk on my face. "Let's not forget the time when you broke Mum's favorite vase! She was so upset you were sent to your room for what seemed like ages!" Malia laughed and pointed her fork at Finnick with a smile.

"Now that is a more believable story. Vasilisa seems so sweet, but you well there are no words to describe you, Finnick. I remember when you broke that mirror in our capital quarters! What did I tell you about throwing a football with the male tributes?" Malia joked, Finnick let out a laugh at that to. This was the first time I have ever heard of this, and I wanted details on this subject.

"Oh Finnick, you really must learn" I said shaking my head. "Did you end up paying for it?"

"No the capital didn't care. They just cleaned it up and told me to be more careful. It was pretty funny though. Of course I had to take full blame, for it because I am In charge of the tributes. So anything they do is practically my fault. Well unless they try and get away, than that's their own fault.ยด Finnick explained, 'so like if you get caught sneaking around the other district quarters I get in trouble for that. You would never do that to you big brother though, would you?" Finnick joked and I smiled

"Of course I would! That's, my job as a little sister Finnick, how many times do I have to explain that to you?" I said with a smirk making Malia laugh again. Finnick's smirk became wider and more fooling

"Just remember Vasilisa I am your lifeline in these games I could easily favor Sissel over you.' Finnick was joking, I knew he was but Sissel didn't and this was the first time I have ever heard his voice sense the reaping.

"Don't, Vasilisa needs to come back. Don't waste your time with me. Please just do everything you can to being Vasilisa back." I was taken back at his words as was Finnick and Malia this was not expected from a tribute normally they try and get the mentor to favor them so he/she will give him/her the sponsor points and actually pay attention to them in the games. That's the complete opposite of what Sissel was trying to do.

"Finnick can't do everything to keep me alive. I still have to survive on my own. I can't just rely on sponsors that are something I learned awhile ago. I might not even get sponsors.' I informed 'Plus you really should at least try and make it past the bloodbath because if I don't win I at least want to show some District pride!" Finnick laughed

"That's my little sister." I knew he wanted to say but you will win but he didn't not in front of Sissel. "Vasilisa is right though Sissel you can't rely on sponsors, you still have to fight to win in the arena because you never know how many sponsors you have." Sissel doesn't say anything else. Finnick and Malia respect that, but it still makes me nervous and I hoped to god Sissel will see some sense and actually try and fight in the Hunger games, I didn't want him to die just because he wanted me to win.

"Anyway why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself Vasilisa?" Malia suggested, I knew she was just trying to change the subject and I wanted just that so I answered her

"Well what do you want to know?" I asked

'Who's your favorite brother?' Finnick asked mocking me

"Well Finnick I am only child!' I said and Malia stifled a laugh

'You two are so funny. If Vasilisa makes it back we should talk o the president about getting you to your own television show." Finnick and I laughed at this, most people in District 4 would also agree to this, let just say were just like any brother and sister only more un-predictable. Once I pushed Finnick off a cliff, yeah let's just say it's a good thing he could swim. 'I can tell you take after your brother a lot. I can't wait to see what you can do in the arena." That's what shut me up, because I really didn't know what I could do in the arena.
