Chapter 7 (Jay's POV)

She gave in. For a second she gave in, I was so sure I could get her to except defeat. It would be tough but nothing could stop him from getting this. It would be his own personal challenge for the Games. Sure Velvet and Sierra were ok to pass the time, but I needed 4. She was a challenge.

(Nate's POV)

My day with the Careers had been tiring. I hadn't ever really trained and Jay's constant staring at Nadz was un-nerving. Sierra from 1 was flirting with me for half the session, the other half with Jay who was preoccupied. This year there was only five in the Career pack, since Nadia hadn't joined. I'm guessing it's some crazy tactic her and Ria thought up. Being in the Career pack could really help her, she would have all the resources she needs and all the weapons she could ever hope for. I have never trained in my life and was only good at spear throwing. I'm surprised they let me join the pack, but since I was from 4 they let me in. Velvet and her district partner, Dayne, were extremely good with the knives. But I already knew she were good with knives from that day with Katri.

(Nadia POV)

I sat in my room, thinking of how I would pull it off. I sighed, it wouldn't work. I can't do it. "Yes you can." Oh god it was Annie.

"Stop that!" She looked at me apologetically.

"I'm sorry. Naddy I'm sorry I haven't seen you in a while, I've been...busy."

"Busy? Your dead. How can you be busy?" She looked hurt

"I just...have been."

"Sorry Annie."

"It's fine. So what do you think you can't do?" All I have to do is think of it because she can read my mind since she's just a spirit. "That's not so bad, Naddy."

"But-"

"If it helps you win, it's not bad at all." She was serious

"Okay."

"Because you are going to win, Nadia. For me, for Finnick, for your parents and for your sisters." Then she disappeared. So typical of her. As it was getting dark, I started to undress for bed. Someone walked into the room. They looked startled when they saw me, "Oh crap! Sorry." She covered her eyes while I got in my pyjamas. "I'm so sorry! I guess I got the wrong floor. Saffie Woods, nice to meet you." She shook my hand.

"How did you get the wrong floor? All the floors are numbered."

"I know, I'm so stupid. I've been so tired lately I fell asleep on the button panel and pressed them all... I've only just stopped. I came to check which floor this was."

"Um...it's 4."

"I know. I mean I know you."

"How?"

"Oh sorry. My mentor said to watch you cause you would be the one to beat. I've watched your reaping at least 15 times!" She looked apologetic

"Urgh. I couldn't watch another second of it." She jumped onto my bed and stretched out.

"It was awful, was she your sister? The girl you volunteered for?"

"Yeah, she's my sister."

"I'm sorry. I wish I had a sister that would've volunteered for me. I don't even HAVE a sister." She looked extremely sad

"I have three sisters." She grinned

"You're so lucky. It's just me and my mum at my home."

"You're from 9 right?"

"Yeah."

"What's it like there?"

"Um...it's grainy? I don't know, I guess I learn a lot about Grain and stuff like that. So what's 4 like?"

"A lot of sea. It's great." She laughed and wrapped her arms round her knees

"Well, I'll be going then." She got up

"Oh, ok, I'll see you tomorrow in training." She waved

"Bye then." When Saffie left I crawled into bed and collapsed as soon as my head hit the pillow.
