A/N This chapter doesn't have a song to go with it because I couldn't find any good ones ;( Sorry about this chapter being so short! I will try to make the next one much longer:) I hope you are enjoying this story! Pretty please read and review! like I always say, it only takes a second for you to review, but it makes my whole day!

Lilium grabs Nicholas' and my wrists and pulls us into the justice building.

"You have one hour for your loved ones to come and visit you," she says quickly. "Nicholas, your room is there," she points to a huge door down the hallway. "And yours is here," Lilium finished, turning to me and pointing to a door on our right.

I step inside and sit on a pine green, velvet couch. I peek out of the rain-splattered window, watching the fire in the distance, as bright as ever.

I know no loved ones will come to see me. I was never a favorite at the orphanage, due to my independent personality.

I cross my legs and rest my head back onto the sofa's plush cushioning.

How will I stay alive?

What's the point in staying alive anyway? I have nothing here to come back to.

I give myself a shake. This is not the way to be thinking. I will do all I can to come back.

I wait through the hour and, like I predicted, nobody comes. Lilium enters, without knocking, and yanks me up off of the couch.

"Time to go! We can't be late to the Capitol!" She grins so wide I'm surprised she doesn't hurt herself.

Nicholas is waiting for us in the hallway, his eyes fairly red from crying.

I feel bad knowing that he may never get to see his family again, ecpecially if I want to come back.

We walk out of the Justice Building through the back doors and hop into a car that brings us to the train that will bring us away from District 7 and to the Capitol and the Hunger Games.
