A/N Sorry for taking so long to update but I had to work on my other fic that I hadn't updated in a month. Ok so I'm going to gloss over the rest of the training (including the scores from the Gamemakers) and skip to the interview.
Today is the interviews. This is really our last time to impress the people of the Capitol. Prema and Fenix have been 'training' us for tonight. Zara had it harder than I, she had to learn how to walk in heals and appear like a proper little lady. When it was my turn to be with Fenix it was actually quite ridiculous. He wanted to help me but knew I didn't need it. "Just be your usual confident self, they will love you. Maybe if all goes well it will be you, not me, that aids next year's tributes." He said to me, shook his head and smiled. He stuck out his hand; I shook it as he wished me luck. He reminded me of Carlisle how he was formal yet obviously caring.
I'm actually looking forward to tonight. I'll get to play with the minds of the Capitol again. The Gamemakers were flabbergasted when I came in front of them the other day. They had no idea what to make with me. That was evident with the score I received, a zero. I didn't even know that was possible the lowest score ever received was one. I guess they bent their own rules when confronted with my chaos and me. But that was expected after I said the quote I shook their hands and left without looking back. Zara impressed me though; she got a five. I don't know what she showed them as we split up in training.

It's time for us to leave and I must I'm nervous I've never spoken in public before. Let alone the entire country. I never was into Drama or Public Speaking that was more of Nessie's thing. My whole body surged with pain as I thought of my imprint. This entire time I've been in pain, it is difficult for us to be separated from our imprints the further away we are it hurts more. Us? There is now us any more, I am the only shape-shifter left. My brothers all got married and stopped phasing; their kids did the same, and their grandkids, eventually there was no one left. I've been able to ignore the pain but as I though of Nessie it was worse. It was a reminder, "Hey Jacob this is the first time you're alone in centuries!" It shouted at me.

It is finally my turn to be interviewed by Rudy Avens; he has been the interviewer for the past 25 years. He is about sixty years old now, but his hair is an unnatural white, typical Capitol fashion. He has a white suit on that shines under the bright lights. Through his white hair there are blue streaks and his body seems to be dusted with a blue powder. You can't really see it but he has an overall blue tinge. I am the last to be interviewed as it goes systematically through the Districts first the girl and then the boy. Whilst everyone has gone I completely zoned out and thought about my family, not the family I would be seeing once all this is over but the one I will never get to see. My fellow tributes are being forced to confront their mortality but it has reminded me of immortality. I will never die as long as I continue to phase often or never get injured in a way that I am unable to heal. Of course I will always continue to phase, I can't die for Nessie's sake. Which is why I will use my 'gift' against my fellow tributes, so I can return.
"Hello Jacob Black, as you know we only have three minutes so I'll cut to the chase, let's talk about your score from the Gamemakers." Rudy Avens said with a smile. "Sure thing Rudy" I said, confident, Fenix will be glad. "The Gamemakers didn't know what to make of me so they gave me a zero." I decided to not bother lying. "Well, what did you?" Rudy asked me. "I gave them a cryptic message." I said and smiled to the audience, I was having so much fun. "What was this message?" He asked with a gleeful smile, it looked like he was having as much fun as I. "I couldn't possibly tell you, it'll give it all away." I said and the audience laughed. "Give what away, your strategy?" He asked with a hinting wink. "You could say that," I replied and the audience laughed again. "Though I will tell you one thing, be prepared for District 12 to finally win." I said as confidently as possible. Rudy shook his head, "Why are you so certain." He asked; this was it, my time was nearly up time to play with their heads. "Oh, once you work out my message you'll agree with me." I said just as the buzzer sounded.
