Hellooo! I know chapter 2 was just uploaded not too long ago but I had nothing to do today so I just thought I would write another chapter just for you guys! Aren't you special! Please keep reviewing because I just means that I know how you guys are feeling with the story and I know what you want to happen and what you like and don't like etc. Anyway... :D

It's Forbidden:

It's official, Cinna is crazy and I hate him! Not literally hate him but he is trying to kill Jayden and me with the most dangerous opening outfit that the world has ever seen! The whole concept is fire, he placed me in a black suit that once I got down to the others at the hall ready for the ceremony, I noticed Jayden was wearing one exactly the same, and did my hair up all fancy. When we were placed on the chariot, Jayden asked me if I knew what they were planning to with the outfits. He really didn't know?

"Has Portia not told you yet?" I queried. He shook his head,

"She just asked me if I was scared of fire and then I was placed in this," he said gesturing to the black suit. "I'm guessing that Cinna told you what was going to happen." He smiled. I was about to respond when Cinna and Portia came over to us.

"Okay so when your names are called out," Portia began briefing us, "Cinna will flip the switch and the flames will start. Now before you start yelling at us about how you're going to die or whatever," she and noticed both Jayden and I open our mouths to protest, "They are not real flames."

Cinna took over, "They are a creation of my own and they are just synthetic ok? They are perfectly harmless but will give the audience the impression that you are on fire now quickly take your positions, you're on next." He quickly rushed over to the switch as I could faintly here our names being called in the background. I hadn't even realised the ceremony had begun. Suddenly everything around me became engulfed in flames, I flinched away until I realised they were harmless and in fact tickled more than anything else. Jayden smiled at me and then we both looked over to Haymitch, Effie, Cinna and the rest (all looking ecstatic) to find Cinna implying that he wanted us to hold hands. Following his instructions, Jayden took my hand in his just as our carriage began to be pulled into the stadium.

I don't know what I had been expecting but it certainly wasn't this. The whole audience gasped as emerged from the tunnel and even the other tributes were shocked at District 12 who usually were covered in dust and just looked repulsive. But this year was different. Cinna had said that he wanted to make an impression and that he certainly did. All at once, the audience was up on their feet cheering and the commentators were going wild with excitement. In the heat of the moment I began smiling and waving at the audience. They loved it - they loved me. I started blowing a few kisses here and there causing the audience to go crazy. Everywhere I looked people were shouting,

"Katniss! Katniss! Katniss!" I was Katniss. I was the girl on fire and I loved it. I was finally being noticed in a good way.

Finally we joined the other tributes in the semi-circle and they were all staring at Jayden and me. Some of them looked at us with admiration while others looked like they wanted to kill us right there and then. Looking around my eyes found the boy from District 1, Peeta. Slowly, he looked back at me with his piercing blue eyes and noticing that I was staring too, he gave me a small smile before looking down at my hand, which was still entwined with Jayden's. Seeing this, he frowned slightly and looked away quickly but I still saw him looking out of the corner of his eye. After that, I couldn't help but smile. There was no denying that we had had some sort of a connection. Even just thinking about what had just happened sent butterflies soaring inside my chest. Building up the courage to look again, I was greeted with a pair of eyes except this time they weren't the shocking icy blue eyes I had hoped for, they were a girl's eyes, That girl being Glimmer from District 1. She was staring at me with such hatred that the phrase 'if looks could kill' suddenly rang in my head. Was it because of my entrance or the fact that the audience was still shouting out my name? I didn't know but it was soon made clear. After staring at me for what seemed a lifetime, she turned to Peeta, winked at him and flicked her hair flirtatiously before giving him a dazzling smile and taking his hand. So that's it then – she likes Peeta, as in likes likes him. A pang of jealousy ran through my heart – I'm not sure why exactly but it had something to do with my feelings, whatever they were, towards the boy with the blue eyes.

Waking up the next morning Effie kept her distance from me but was still praising Cinna and Portia for their 'amazing and creative work that made sure no one would forget District 12 ever!' or so she says, but even I had to admit that the outfits were amazing. Word had spread through the capitol about me and apparently I was now being known as 'Katniss: the girl on fire'. Even Haymitch had started calling me by that, along with his usual 'sweetheart'. We were to have our first day of training today, to me that meant our first day of seeing what possibilities of dying were going to be, whether it was from a knife, spear, sword etc. Cinna had left me the training outfit to get into, all the tributes wore the same thing, and I had put my hair in it's signature side braid, when I felt ready to go downstairs, I made my way to the hall where Jayden was already waiting and talking to Haymitch. He smiled when he saw me come down,

"Hey Katniss!" he beamed.

"Um, hi Jayden. Feeling happy today?" I said a bit wary and he blushed as he looked down avoiding my gaze.

"Listen sweetheart, I was just telling loverboy here," again Jayden blushed while I ignored the comment," that although you may feel like wanting to show off in training, stay away from anything you are comfortable with, in your case keep as far away as possible from the archery and knifes alright?" I nodded to show that I understood.

"Make sure to pay attention to the less popular stations such as plants, ropes and camouflage. They may seem pointless but trust me, if it is a matter between life and death, what you know about how to stay hidden from your enemies could be vital. Understand?" Once again I nodded along with Jayden.

Just then the elevator came and whisked us away to the training arena. When we arrived, everyone was already there and we quickly joined the group to listen what the coordinator had say. She was just going over the main rules: no fighting with other tributes, no eating/drinking at the stations, and most importantly, to my dismay, no talking with tributes outside your District. With that last rule my eyes flickered over to Peeta, only to find him staring back at me but he quickly averted his eyes. Smiling to myself I noticed Glimmer behind him clenching her hands to form fists while staring at me again. This time it was my turn to look away as the coordinator let us go to the stations.

Jayden and me decided to stick together so we went around all of the stations that Haymitch had told us to until we had near enough mastered them, then we went over to the weapons that we had never come across before just to get some practice, such as the spears. It turned out that Jayden had quite the gift at the spear and I also noticed that Peeta could hit the dummy through the heart from wherever he was standing, he was also incredibly strong which made sense from the muscles you saw ripple through his chest but anyway, it wasn't like I was paying attention to his toned chest – pfft! I decided that I didn't want to get on the wrong side of District 2, Clove was an expert at knife throwing and Cato was master of the sword, not to mention he could break your neck with a twitch of his fingers.

However, I went back to my spear throwing but missed the target completely only to be greeted with a high-pitched girlish laughter.

"You call that throwing a spear? Please my little sister could do better than that and she's 2!" Glimmer's voice rang through my head and I blushed furiously, turning around to see her storming towards me with the other careers, minus Peeta, following her.

"Um, we aren't supposed to talk with other tributes." I mumbled as the others laughed at me.

"Aww look what we have a goody-goody two-shoes, are you going to go cry to the coordinator about us?" she cackled. I just turned around and started to walk away from them noticing that every other tribute, including Peeta, had stopped to watch what was going on.

"Hey! Don't walk away from me when I am talking to you 12, didn't your mother ever tell you it was rude!" I just continued walking onwards. "Listen to me! I said don't walk away!" then I felt a massive impact on my back strong enough to push me forwards and catch my arm on a lone spear cutting it all the way to my elbow, I shrieked in pain as Glimmer, Clove and Cato laughed at me on the floor. Suddenly a figure appeared in front of me blocking the others from my sight, at first I thought it was Jayden until,

"Leave her alone Glimmer, she hasn't done anything to you."

It was Peeta.
