I was taken to a room and told to stay put. In a matter of minutes the room was filled with family and friends. Gale and his family, Katniss and her family, my dad and all my brothers.

"Hey guys." I said making a group hug.

"Ok you have ten minutes." The guard said before closing the door and giving us some privacy.

"Hey hunny, you'll be ok. Just try to make it back home to all of us." My dad says giving me a hug.

"I'll try my best." I said pulling away. Tyler and Peter gave me a hug and said goodbye before taking my father back home.

Angus, Jacob, Prim, Rory, Vick and Posy gave me a hug next.
"Please come home." they all said.

"Please don't get hurt." Hazelle (Gale's mum) and Carine (Katniss' mum) said giving me a hug as well as the other 6 cause they hadn't let go yet.

"I will" I said to the 6 still hugging me. "and I won't." I said to the mums as they pulled away. They then took the 6 kids out of the room. Now it was just Jack, Gale and Katniss.

"Just don't get hurt and think of it as hunting." Jack said giving me a big hug. "I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too, but you'll see me soon enough. Tell everyone I love them and I love you." I respond pulling away with tears in my eyes.

"I will. Love you too. Bye y/n/n."

"Bye Jack." He walks out crying.

"I'm gonna miss you. Remember what I taught you about a bow and how to use it. Also remember how to make one, that'll be useful if they don't have one. Kill everyone and come home. Got it?" Katniss says giving the biggest hug I've ever had.

"Got it. I love you." I say looking her in the eyes.

"I love you too." She gave me another hug and walked out.

"Hey." I heard and turned around. As soon as I did I hugged him and started crying.

"I'm scared. I'm not going to make it out alive. Look after my family will you."

"Of course I will but I won't have to for long because you're coming home, ok, you are."

"Ok." He wipes my tears away.

"I got you something before I came over. I was hoping you'd wear it to the reaping but I never got a chance to give it to you. So I'm giving it to you now to wear and remember me by." He then pulls out a necklace from his pocket and hands it to me. It's a bronze bow and arrow that matches my friendship ring. (It's the one at the top.)

"It's beautiful I love it thank you." I hug him again.

"You're welcome. And come back safely." He says.

"I shall try my hardest." I smile at him.
The door swings open. "Alright that's enough." The guard says.

"Ok. Look after my family while I'm gone."

"I will. Bye y/n."

"Bye Gale." He leaves and once again I'm left in the room alone. I put the necklace around my neck and just stare at it, until there's a knock at the door. It's Noah.

"Hey." He says opening the door.

"Hey, come on in." I say.

"You have a lot of family. I saw them all leaving." He said sitting down beside me.

"Yeah I suppose I do." I give a little awkward laugh.

It was funny that he was here with me. He was the guy every girl wanted and every guy wanted to be. And here he is sitting next to me. It was silent again until Effie came in to take us to the train.
We get on the train and are shown rooms that we'll be staying in for the next two nights. I striped myself of my mother's dress and hung it up, took my hair out of its bun and hopped in the shower letting the water wash over me. I close my eyes and just sink in to the warmth of the shower water. I wash myself and my hair, jump out of the shower and throw on a dressing gown that hung on the back of the door. I brush my hair and plat it into 2 braids letting some strands fall down my face. I walk over to the wardrobe and grab the first outfit I find. A red button up flannel t-shirt, a white shirt and some jeans, with some black lace up boots. I walk out to the dinning part of the train and find Noah sat at a table with a heap of food in front of him yet he isn't eating. He must be surprised.

"Hey." I say sitting down next to him.

"Hey, do you know if this is for us or if it's to tease us?" He questions.

"I think it's for both." I say grabbing a biscuit. And bitting it.

"Oh what the hell." And he grabs a chicken leg.

We eat for about 5 minutes before Effie walks in.

"Ahhhh, what do you think your doing?" She slaps the food out of our hands.

"Ahh we were eating." I pick up a bread roll. Noah just giggles.

"Well stop." She slaps my hand again.

"Why should I?" I say grabbing the roll again.

"Because I said so, and because it's rude to eat when not everyone is seated at the table." She slaps my hand once more and I lose it.

"Ok slap my hand 1 more time."

"What no."

"Do it I dare you."

"Fine." And she slaps my hand again. I grab the knife next to my plate and stab the table right between her fingers.

"That is MAHOGANY!"

"Ha that was amazing. I'm Haymitch. Pleasure to meet you." A man says as he sits next to Effie. He smells of alcohol, a lot of alcohol. He has his hand extended for me to shake.

"Y/n." I shake his hand.

"And you are?"

"Noah." He says giving Haymitch his hand.

"I'm the only district 12 victor apart from the other guy that died a few years back."

"Yeah we know."

"To be honest I couldn't care less." I say eating the bread roll I was eating before.

"Y/n!" Effie says taking the bread roll away.

"Oh quit it would you. Why the hell would you put food in front of us if you didn't want us to eat it yet. You know quite well that we don't eat much in district 12. So why are you depriving us of food when you have plenty." I get up from my seat, grab the roll from her hands and walk away.

"Y/n......Y/N. What is it with that girl." I heard as I reached the door.

"What's with me. You pulled my fucking name out of that bowl. That's what's with me." And with that I left the room and went to mine.
