Who I Am ~ Hunger Games; Bajancanadian AU

Chapter 6: Promises

~Ambers POV~

I've finally put on the replay of the reaping of district 8, and I see Kurai standing there in shock, holding in tears, just knowing that she'll die. Beside her I see a young women, which I assume is her mother. She was taking shallow and quick breaths, and it immidiatly reminded me of how I was where Jerome was taken.

Cameras then advirted back to the reaping bowl as Kurai made her way up. Then another name was called.

"Jason Probst."

I glanced up to see Jason slowly making his way up to the stage, and I notice something different about these two and how they look at eachother. Kurai stared into his eyes and murmered something that normal people won't hear on camera.

But I have exceptional hearing. I slowly make out what their saying....

"We're going to die Jason! We're going to die!"

"Your not Kurai. I promise to keep you safe. I didn't know you all your life to just let you go like this."

So they knew eachother before the reaping. Like Mitch and I.

"How do you know Jason?"

"I just do. You can climb. You can hunt. You can use the dagger and knives. You can do this."

"But I cannot fight."

"Yes you can."

"No, I mean I can't kill. I cannot watch people dying."

She was like me. She also did not have the heart to kill

I suddenly felt furious, my hands were clunched int fists. This girl needed to live. I will keep her and Mitch alive for as long as possible. Somehow I'll make both of them live till the very end. I'll do that somehow.

Somehow.

I was slowly already making out my allies. I keeped a list in my head of all the tributes. Not only am I fast and good with weapons, along with my hearing, my memorization was also exceptional.

Mitch, Kurai and Jason. I had to admit. I like Jason and I may think he is a little cute... Okay he is a lottle cute. Wait. Stop it Amber. I can't love now, or ever. Especially in the Hunger Games.

Tomorrow's the tribute parade...let's see what I can do. I need to think about getting sponsors. I mean I can live without them, but still, they will help.

I looked over at Mitch, he was sound asleep beside me. I shook up and he ended up waking up with his fist hitting my jaw line.

~Mitch POV~

Somebody shook me. Out of reflex I got up and immendeitly punched that person. I heard a slight groan.

"Um.. Oww."

"Sorry."

"It's ok. I wanted to tell you something, something about our allies."

"Ok, so what?"

"I want to be allies with the people from district 8."

"District 8?! Are you crazy? The 12 year old and the boy that looks like he's to soft to do anything?!"

"Mitch please."

"Fine. I'll think about it."

Actually it was not how weak they were that bothered me the most. I know Amber well. And it looks like she's falling in love with that Jason kid. I will NOT let her....

I love her.

I love her way to much to let her go like this.
