EVES POV
"I can't watch," I said.
"Eve, you need to," said Vivian. "Or else they're going to make you watch them. And Finch has a chance of surviving."
"It's just... It's not right that we have to watch people kill each other," I said.
"You think the Capitol cares whats right or not?" Lydia asked and snorted.
"Okay, whatever. We need to go right now!" urged Eli.
I sighed and we walked to the square. Everyone looked tired and sad. Some people looked angry and others just were expressionless.
The Tributes rose up from their tubes and looked around. I had a pit in my stomach. The Games would begin in sixty seconds.
FINCHES POV
I woke and looked at the clock next to my bed. 3:00 am, it said. Then it sank in. The Games. No, no, no. I got up and paced around. This couldn't be happening. No, no, no. It can't be real. No, no, no. I have to be dreaming. No, no, no, no, no... Then I heard a knock on my door.
"It's Florence," said the voice behind my door. I unsteadily walked up to it. "I heard you pacing," she said, quietly.
"Is this a dream?" I asked.
"Ah, denial," said Florence. "No, I wish that this was a dream. Finch you need to sleep. You'll forget in your sleep. Sleep helps with forgetting fear," she said.
I walked to my bed and lay down for ten minutes.
"I can't sleep," I said to Florence. She was still there. Florence climbed into the bed and hugged me close. I had a strange new feeling inside of me. As I fell asleep, I wondered if this was what having a true mother was like.
At breakfast, we all didn't talk. I forced myself to eat. This might be the last good meal that I'll eat. I thought. Drew looked around nervously. Timothy scowled down at his food. Millie just kept on her too bright smile. Florence bit her lip the entire time, not eating. Lana came and ate with us. I was glad that she really cared. Lana just gave me weak smiles.
xXx
I stood in the room and looked at the tube. Lana and Florence stood with me.
"I guess this is goodbye," whispered Florence, giving me a hug. "We'll help you survive. And remember what I told you," she said on the verge of tears.
Lana looked at me. "Don't let them change you," she said. "Don't play their game." I nodded. That's what Eve told me to remember.
"Twenty seconds to launch," said a mechanical voice. Lana and Florence gave me one last hug. I stepped into the tube and the door slid shut. I panicked. I looked at Florence and Lana as I rose up. They both gave me sad smiles and mouthed the words, "Remember." I smiled back at them. The last things I saw were their sad smiles before I was in the Arena.
I was in open air. I saw the other tributes as I looked around. I had a pit in my stomach. The Games would begin in sixty seconds.
I HAVE A PIT IN MY STOMCH TOO RIGHT NOW! I'LL TRY TO UPDATE REALLY, REALLY SOON! I PROMISE! TOMORROW AT THE LATEST! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
