Very short, I know.. I've hit some writers block :( Review please? Thaaaaanks!
I also am accepting some tribute ideas. Nothing major like a syot, just some ideas for the background characters. PM me!
Lavina led us to a very long black car that would transport us to the District 4 train station, which is around an hour and a half away. This wasn't going to be my first train ride, I've been on it for multiple regionals and last years Panem's National Gymnastics Championships. I was supposed to be going on it again this year for the same event and not to mention The Panem Games which is like an event called The Olympics according to one of my teachers in school, but I'm guessing getting killed in the Hunger Games is going to prevent that.
Inside the car, which Lavina told us was called a limousine, was an assortment of drinks and snacks for the journey to our next journey. I took a seat far away from everyone else; I was hardly in the mood really to chat with Lavina, or Aidan. However, Aidan felt differently and took the seat directly across from me, and Lavina did the same. Aidan opened the compartment next to him, which was a cooler filled with water bottles. He pulled out three, handing one to Lavina, and the next one to me. I considered refusing, but seeing as how I probably wouldn't get too much of a chance to be drinking water after the next two weeks.
"So Lavina, what do you think these rule changes are going to be?" Aidan asked.
"Oh, I haven't the slightest idea! With our new president, it's bound to be something divine! God bless Snow, but it's time for a new era in the Capitol" Lavina said
"Ah well, I hope the arena this year is something good, to our advantage you know?" Aidan said, looking at me.
"The only advantage I would possibly have if the arena was a big gymnastics competition," I mumbled.
"You never know! " Aidan chirped.
"Well, we can count on that not happening!" Lavina said, laughing.
I sighed and went back to not talking. It seemed that Aidan was trying to be at least a little optimistic for me, which I didn't really have the mindset to do so. I probably should just accept the fact I'm going to be dead soon and get over it. I wondered what the quickest way to go would be, maybe I'd just find all the pain relievers they put in the cornucopia and overdose on them. That way I wouldn't feel anything. Knowing my luck, The Capitol would figure out what I was doing and have me die some more gruesome way. Maybe killed by some of their famous muttations, or have a fire kill me.
I ended up dozing off for a bit, and was woken up by Aidan nudging me. We finally arrived to the train that would take us to The Capitol.
