Chapter 15

Peacekeepers gripped the tribute's arms and pulled them inside the justice building, so me and Dad headed onto the train. "It's such a shame that our tributes are young this year." Dad said. "True, but youth does't have anything to do with skill and strategy. Mazie was young but still made it very far last year." I signed.

Dad nodded and sat down on a couch. Soon, our tributes got on the train and it started moving. Dad took Pexley and Nova to their rooms. I would've shown Nova, but she didn't understand sign language. I headed to my room, and layer on the bed. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do, so I got a shower to wash all of the makeup off. I got changed into a plain sweatshirt and jeans and put my hair up into ponytail before heading down to the dining hall.

When I got there, it was just Beetee and Callon sitting there. "I hope you did tell them how to get here, right?" I asked my dad. He smiled and nodded. I took a seat next to dad. Waiters started to bring meat, soup, salads, and bread out to the table. I took a small bowl of salad since I wasn't very hungry. Soon, Pexley and Nova joined us. They, like myself, had changed into clean clothes.

"Hello. Ada was worried that you two were lost." My Dad greeted them. I gave them a smile before gazing at my salad bowl. They sat down and picked up some food. After dinner, we headed over to the same room that I watched the reapings last year with Wireless.

Callon picked up a remote and pushed a button, and suddenly District one came on. As the districts passed, I took note of the tributes that had a shot of winning, and any strategy to point out later to Nova. The career districts had strong looking tributes as usual, but district 11 male, and district 12 female looked strong as well.

After the reapings had finished, we headed back to our rooms. That night, a weird dream haunted me however. Carter and Squirrel were chasing me, yelling and screaming. Squirrel kept chanting 'rebellion' over and over again, but then Snow appeared and grabbed hold of them. "Watch out, Missss Latier." He hissed at me before grinning and disappeared. Then, when I turned around, Mazie was laying on the ground. She was yelling something about me killing her, but then Keith appeared and killed her.

I woke up sweating and shaking. I couldn't go back to sleep after that, so eventually I gave up with sleeping and found paper and pencil to sketch with until my stylists came.
