A/N: Sorry it's been so long, school is crazy! And don't forget to click that amazing little review button once you are done reading!
I walk onto the train, surprised at all the detail that was put into it. I stare at the green walls, feeling their rough texture. I notice that Mitchell is also staring at the many decorations, taking them all in. Freya looks at us, smiling.
"It is funny to see you two look around." She tells us softly. Is it just me, or is her accent less pronounced now?
"You must have never seen anything so amazing before." I don't like her tone, so I just ignore her. She must sense the discomfort in the room, because she tells us, "Why don't you two go and pick out your quarters, then I'll send and avox to come and get you." I know all about avoxes, they are traitors, and have had their tongues cut out as punishment. I used to pity them, but now I feel that they are better off than me.
Me and Mitchell walk down a hall and open two doors opposite each other. I am shocked when I see the amazing room in front of me. I turn to face Mitchell, and see an equally amazing suite. He turns, and talks to me for the first time.
"Which one do you want?" I don't know why, but I just lose it. I fall down and start crying. I can see Mitchell, looking alarmed.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? Oh my gosh, what's wrong?"
"No, I am NOT okay! Everything's wrong! We are about to be sent to our death, and never see our friends again! " My voice is turning hysteric, and I wonder if I'm going crazy. He just picks me up and carries me into one of the rooms. He gently sets me on the bed.
"Here," He says quietly. "Just rest here until dinner." With that I just sit in my room and sob. I don't realize that I fall asleep until the avox comes and collects me. I go and see the damage that the tears have caused. I am relieved that my eyes aren't that puffy, just a little red. Nothing I can't wash away in the morning. I walk into dinner.
"Are you feeling better?" Mitchell asks me, a little worried. I can tell that he's afraid that I'm going to go all crazy again. I can't help but be touched, sense he is about to be sent to death too, and he's worried about me.
"Yes, I'm fine, " I reply, taking my seat. I wonder what will be served for dinner, since normally feast's are a rare occurrence in the new district 2. I watch in amazement as all the food is brought out. Plate after plate of all sorts of meats: Chicken, pork, turkey, ham, steaks, and a few others I don't know. Plates heaped with mashed potatoes, corn, peas, green beans, and all other sorts of sides come out. Bowls of apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and any other berries you could name came out. I ate hungrily, stuffing myself to the max. It was so good, I never wanted to stop. I was surprised when more food came out, then I noticed what type of food it was: Dessert. Plate after plate of cakes, cookies, tarts, jams, and even cinnamon rolls, a rare delicacy. I don't know how, but I managed to fit in 3 slices of cake, 4 cookies, and 2 and a half cinnamon rolls. I was starting to feel sick, so I stopped eating after a while.
I was about to go to my quarters and sleep, when Freya motioned us towards another room. I was going to get lost on this train! I followed her in, curious because I saw a giant T.V. with several comfortable looking couches around it. Freya motioned for us to sit, so I did, claiming a large plump chair. She flipped on the T.V, and turned to face us.
"You know that you will be facing twenty-two other tributes, right?" She asks us.
We both nod.
"Good. Well, in about ten minutes, the capitol will replay all of the reapings, so you can get a basic glance at the competition."
We all sit in silence, waiting. Suddenly, the Capitol seal shines on the screen. We watch as President Rainier tells us about the dark days (which is what the war between the districts and the capitol is referred to) and how this is most gracious of the Capitol to only take two children from each district. Then we are shown District one, and the district escort is calling out a name.
And me and Mitchell have horrified looks on our faces, because we know that girl. And, when the escort, (Cryestal, or something like that) calls out the boys name, we realize something.
We will be going against two people we already know.
