I know I took a huge break, I'll try and update more! Enjoy!

Tenison. Out of all of the elaborate words that Anna knew, that was the only word that seemed appropriate to describe the atmosphere of the Train. She'd never truly understood what people could be meaning when they said that they could cut the air with a knife, but at that very moment she was sure she could.

After Flabia had given an elaborate speech on how generous the capitol was and how fantastic everything they provided was while she gave them a long tour of all of the items in the lavish train car, which quite frankly was much more like a mansion, then the crammed train car she had anticipated. After all why treat the tributes with lavish, it was like decorating cattle that was about to be slaughtered, quite pointless actually. Anna just assumed it was to keep up there oh so generous and sweet and grotesquely beautiful facade.

After the tiring walk around the massive train car, and introductions to rooms and where everyone would be cordoned off while they made their way to the capitol, Anna finally had time to sit down. She choose the neon with bright green striped couch, that dulled in comparison to the glitter pink couch that mirrored her currently. With a large sigh, she began to drift off, until Flabia's shrill voice began loudly announcing to her and Shane that they better come and meet their mentors.

"Dang it" was all that Anna's brain could think to say, before their soon to be assigned mentors came into the room, while Shane stumbled in closely following them looking as though he'd just awoken from a deep sleep, which wouldn't shock Anna, because after all he was a teenage boy.

A large sigh emitted from Anna's mouth as she heeved herself off the couch in order to greet her mentors.

Flabia started fanning herself when Finnick stood next to her and crossed his arms, showing off his insane biceps. Shane took a place next to Anna where she stood and Mags, the other mentor for four that year stood next to Finnick with a serene smile and a look of pain in her eyes as she gazed upon Anna and Shane. After everyone had a taken a place in the room that seemed appropriate to Flabia, she began introductions, as if anyone didn't know who they were.

"This is Mags, she's a wonderful and very intelligent lady, you're very lucky to have her as a mentor!" kind words for Flabia, Anna thought to herself. Then of course there was Finnick who didn't need an introduction, but of course Flabia said in a nearly hyperventilating voice "This is obviously the great Finnick Odair, isn't he just lovely? and gorgeous… Whoever gets him is so lucky, heck I wish I was one of you right now!"

Anna couldn't help but roll her eyes at Flabia, which earned a tisk from her no doubt. But honestly she felt terrible for Finnick she saw him look them confidently while being "introduced" to them. Honestly though she saw the way he averted his eyes when she would look at him, and how he shifted on his feet as she gazed at him, a sign of him wanting to calm his nerves she noticed his tendencies hadn't changed much in the few years that they had grown apart.

Finnick clearing his throat loudly brought Anna out of her trance and she snapped to attention and looked Finnick dead in the eye, and for a few moments she saw just how tortured he was over her being here, but just as fast as she saw that look it disappeared into his facade.

"Well I guess we should figure out who will be mentoring who, Mags?" Finnick turned to look at his former mentor with a look of admiration. The older woman looked upon the two sizing them up and said "I'll take the boy, good and strong, not much but something, exactly what you were" and with that she smiled at Finn, and Shane sat went and stood next to Mags. "Well I guess you're mine then?" she heard Finnick mumble. "Yeah I guess so…" she mumbled back. Well that was awkward …

Finnick yet again cleared his throat catching everyone's attention, including Flabia who had toddled off sometime when they were choosing who would mentor who. "So do you want to train together or just with your mentor?" Anna tried to calculate what would most benefit her and mostly what would be the easiest on her heart, but before she could even get her thoughts straight, Shane said "one on one". Shane whispered into Anna's ear as he walked away with Mags "you're welcome. Fix things before it's too late" With that Anna felt her heart clench and murmured back thanks. Just as she composed herself she felt Finnick grab her by the shoulders and pull her around. The last thing she saw before everything became blurry with tears was Finnick's ocean emerald green eyes. They were like the seas at home. So many secrets and so much pain hidden beneath the surface, but what shone through the most was the look of love he gave her before she was buried in a big bear hug.
