Who I Am ~ Hunger Games; Bajancanadian AU

Chapter 3: Train

My voice was ringing in my ears. Those two words felt sour coming out of my own mouth. Never thought I would say those words. Cassiana just smiled at me.
"Well well well! We have our very own slayer in this years hunger games! A defiant win this year, am I right?" The crowd was still silent, but Cassiana didn't seem fazed by it at all. She just grinned widely from ear to ear. I scowled. Typical capital people. She beckoned her hand forward. "Come come!" She squeaked into the mic.

I made my way up there, ignoring the looks I was getting from people. Only one familiar face caught my eye. Mitch. He gave me a look of sadness and grief, I shook my head slightly at him and mouthed, "I'm sorry." Once I made my way up, I stood beside Cassiana as she made her way to the bowl filled with boy names.
"For the male tribute..." She said, while attempting to put her hand dramatically in and out of the bowl, grabbing a slip of paper as she made her way out. I flinched at the sound of her voice. God, it was even more annoying up close. As she took a deep breath, a voice rang through the crowd.

"I volunteer!"

I snapped my head backwards, urging to see who it was, and then I saw him. The only person that took care of me since I was 12, the only person who knows who I really am, the only person who knows my past besides the capital...................the only person who is my friend.

Mitchell Hughes.

Before I can comprehend what he said, he was already up here with me. I look at him, forcing my tears to say inside, my throat caught for a few seconds, then I finally spoke up, my voice barely a whisper....

"Why did you do this? Your going to get killed!" "And who says your not?" He replied calmly, as if we weren't going to go into the hunger games. "You know me, I can fight well, hence why people call me the "slayer"?" "But you don't like being called that." "I know, but what can you do? NOTHING! Your going to be killed!" I said, furious, until I look up to him, he winced away, and I just realized what I had said. "I'm SORRY that I can't do anything! I just wanted to protect you!" He said, his voice full of hurt. I felt a pang of sadness.... "I'm sorry Mitch." I said lightly, "your just the only one that I care about that I'm sure is still alive...after Jerome got taken away, your the reason why I'm still here, to this very moment!" Mitch looked at me for a second, before turning away, "its okay Amber, I love you."

~Mitch POV~

"It's okay Amber, I love you."

I wish that she knew! She thinks that's just a brother saying to sister I love you, buts it's not! Ever since I saw her, I just knew, I really truly, love HER.

~Ambers POV~

After that we were taken to a train, it was beautiful, chandeliers everywhere, food that I never even knew existed! I plop down beside Mitch, and right when I started to get comfy, I hear a voice.

"Hello."

~A/N~

Hey guys! Hope you enjoy! Can you guess who that person is?
