A/N: I know this is late, but like last time I will just post two chapters today. Enjoy and review :)

Districts with more than two victors take turns in being mentors. Some don't want to be bothered with the Hunger Games at all and just stay at home in their districts unless they actually have too. We walk into a room with an open bar, Avoxes everywhere waiting on us and tables and booths we can sit at and get to know everyone. Haymitch nods over to the bar and says "We could spend our days over here." I shake my head and say, "We have to socialize sweetheart." I don't recognize many Victors, the ones in my recent years that I could remember must've stayed this one out. I recognize a woman who won a few years ago, her name is Johanna and she's from District 7. I walk up to her and introduce myself. "Hey there girl on fire!" I roll my eyes, that comment never seems to get old to anyone else except me. She invites me to sit with her and some other Victors. Finnick , who was a boy Victor from District 4 a few years ago as well. Lastly, there was a man named Bette who won awhile ago, from District 3. With Haymitch, the five of us sit down and discuss our tributes. "You have an impressive group", I say to Johanna as I think of the big group from District 7. She nods and says "They're monsters alright. You didn't do bad yourself 12. I see you got yourself a good team. It should be an interesting Games."

We get to know each other and talk about the Games. I didn't realize this but it seems everyone is good friends and relate to each other in one way or not. Finnick says, "Who do you guys think is going to win this year… based on what you say?" Haymitch takes a swig and says, "Believe or not I think the big kid from my group may have a chance. That boy from District 11 looks good too though." Johanna thinks it'll be someone from her team or the girl Talia from Finnick's district. I thought you would just say your tributes to make your District not look weak. However, I hear conversations from other mentors and some of them don't have any faith in their tributes and aren't afraid to show it. At lunch, Haymitch explains to me that everyone are friends here and the tributes and the Games don't change that. He points to a tall guy, who's muscular and blonde. "He was Cato's mentor last year. Really thought he was bringing someone home. But then you and Peeta took care of him. He's still my friend… well acquaintance more like, I don't have many friends. But we realize at the end it's a game. A game of death, but a game no less. There's only one winner." With that he took a drink.

Throughout the next few days we learned everyone's strengths. Henry was gentle and really nice, and I was afraid he wouldn't be able to kill. However we learned he could 350 lbs. Haymitch clapped and said he could easily crush someone's neck. That seemed to scare Henry but I told him, you gotta do what you gotta do to stay alive. Despite his faith in himself, Franklin knew many poisonous plants and fruits. He could make traps as well, instant killing ones. I suggested they all take a day on making traps. If they were injured and couldn't move, a trap could still help them live longer. Revia told me she could throw knives. She explained she was the butcher's daughter back in District 12 and over the years practiced throwing knives just for fun. However, when practicing on dummies she hit her target every time. I remembered Clove and thought how far knife throwing got her in the Games.

The day after we went over everyone's strengths, I decide to watch my tributes in the Training Center. Haymitch went to hang out with the other tributes, but a woman from District 9 sat with me in the mentors' booth. "You're the one with the twins huh?" She nods and says, "I don't have much faith in the other girl, but those twins will make it far. What about you?" I pointed to the corner where Revia, Henry, and Franklin were working on fire starters. "Those are mine.", I beamed like they were my children. She nodded and said, "Oh yeah District 12. They're saying you and District 7 are the only ones whose entire team has a chance." She laughs and says, "Lucky you." I shake my head and say, "None of us are lucky." She nods in agreement and we watch and takes notes. I see the boy from District 11 use a bow and arrow perfectly. Almost as well as me. He's huge, but not bigger than Henry. I write him down and take notes on him and his skills. He's a huge competitor and will definitely be in the top 9. I learn the District 9 mentor's name is Abigail and her husband is the District 9 male mentor. She won two years ago, and he won about eight years ago. However, she was eighteen when she won, so the age difference between them isn't that big. She compares notes with me about the boy from District 11 and Talia from District 4. We both fear Johanna's tributes because they seemed to have bonded quickly. Her twins won't work with the other kid and my tributes only talk when needed. I was pissed, I told them to act like an alliance even if they didn't plan on being one.

Then Revia blew me over the edge. At lunch for them, she left Henry and Franklin to eat with the District 11 boy and Johanna's team. They were gabbing it up and even talked about what tributes to take out first. When Revia pointed over to Franklin, I lost it. I got up and started to walk down to wrangle her neck but Abigail grabbed me and said, "Katniss, honey it's against the rules to go down there." I ripped my arm from her but nodded and acknowledged she was right. I would deal with her when we got back to the rooms. After the day was finished, and we headed back to the rooms I saw Revia, Franklin, and Henry sitting waiting for us so we could have dinner. Portia and Cinna were sitting there along with Effie. Haymitch was slightly tipsy, but aware enough. I marched over to Revia and grabbed her by her neck. Everyone jumped up to stop me, but I held up hand. "Are you crazy? I ask you to do one thing, one thing! Stay away from other tributes, until the Games! You can't even do that." She attempts to rip my hand from her neck, but is unsuccessful. She clamours out, "I don't have to listen to you! I c-can do what I w-w-want." I laugh and say "Really? Okay, so when you're out there in a week STARVING TO DEATH or perhaps bleeding out because those kids will turn on you as soon as there done with you and you need to me to send you something perhaps some food, or a bandage or a medication to stop the bleeding I want you to remember that you don't have to listen to me." With that I throw her onto the back of the couch, where she tumbles over on her back and falls on the ground. She gets up and says, "They're not going to turn on me Katniss, we're friends!" I turn to her and say, "ITS THE HUNGER GAMES! THERE ARE NO FRIENDS!" Haymitch rubs his head, and asks "Revia, how the fuck are they your friends when only one person can walk out?" Her eyes well up and she starts to storm to her room. Effie stops her and says, "You can't leave. We're about to have dinner and I refuse to wait for you to finish your tantrum before I can eat my lamb chops." With that she walks towards the dining room with her head in the air and her heels clicking the wood floors. Portia laughs and says, "I guess the Queen of District 12 has spoken."
