Daniel Odair's P.O.V
I looked out the window of the train to see District 12. Unlike District 4 there was no ocean in sight, or any body of water for that matter. I already longed for the salty sea air, I also wanted my fingers to ache from making so many fish nets and knots. I nervously twiddled my frayed rope bracelet. But I wouldn't untie it. My father made this bracelet. This was one of the only things I had of him. All that he was to me was pictures and sayings of him. My mom didn't talk about him and if she did she usually 'left' and whenever Johanna tried to talk about him she would tear up and after she did she would but on her 'big girl' attitude. That was exactly like Sonya she acted tough, but she had a girly side she never tried to show. I've seen the way her eyes lit up when we walk past fancy dresses in shop windows.
"Did you know were staying in different houses?" Sonya whispered to me harshly.
"Aww you mad that we don't get to sleep in the same bed?" I joked.
Sonya rolled her grey eyes "No, now I'm gonna be the only one in the house," she explained "Our parents are meeting with the mayor,"
I raised an eyebrow "So you're not going to be sneaking off?"
She shook her and looked shocked "Why would I ever not follow my parent's rules?"
My mom's voice ran out a few feet away from us "Are you guys coming?"
I grabbed my bags and walked towards her she gestured to the door.
"Let's go,"
I stepped off the train.
Nobody was there besides an older man; he was holding a bottle of liquor.
He stumbled up towards us and slurred "Annie darling I haven't seen you in forever!"
He barely glanced at Gale and Sonya. His bloodshot eyes look straight at me and he gasped
"Finnick! Everyone thought you dead!" He yelled throwing his arm around my shoulder.
I could smell the strong scents of liquor on his breathe.
I looked over for my mom's help, but her green eyes were glazed over and they were shining with watery tears.
It was Johanna who roughly grabbed the man and yanked him away from me "Haymitch! That's not Finnick!"
The started dragging him forward "Gale you take them to victor's village here! I gotta find Peeta and Katniss!"
