Willow sat down next to Rue as she quietly coached her on what to do in front of the judges one last time before her and thresh had to go off.
"If they can't get to you. Then they won't be able to kill me. Your great with heights you can practically fly through the air use that to your advantage." She told her placing a kiss on her forehead and tightly hugging her.
"Listen to me Thresh your strong if they see that it will help your score the more strength you have the better you can go against the careers and the like people who can make drama." Thresh nodded at that before taking Rue's hand and walking out of the room.
Willow gulps sadly as she stares at the two existing figures. A few moments later Chrys walks into the room.
"Hey." She waves following Willow to a couch.
"Have you been given any appointments?" Willow asks turning her head to look at Chrys.
"No and I am guessing you haven't either. Maybe they decided to be nice this year."
The two girls laugh quietly at them before sighing heavily.
They both sat there staring blankly at a wall for hours before Chrys stands so she would get back before Katniss.
A few moments hater Thresh and Rue walked into the room.
"Hey! How did it go?" Willow asks planting a small on her face.
"I showed them I could fight and that I was strong." Thresh gruffly says.
"My feet never touched the ground." Rue smiles as she leans forward on her tiptoes.
"Good that's really good. Now go wash up for food soon and then your scores will come out." Willow says shooing them away.
Rue laughs as she skips down on the hall. The dark of Willow's mind whispering what if these are the last times you ever her laugh or see her skip. Who would make her laugh in that retched arena.
Willow shook her head No her and Chrys would find a way to make sure aRue and Katniss both got out. Neither were dying not in there.
As the two tributes walked out having changed they headed toward the dying hall. Rue filling her plate once more with all the foods she's never tried before and Thesh following her.
The group talks quietly over dinner about the funny moments from back home. As the headed back up to their compartment Rue slipped her hands into Willow's and Thresh's.
"Your late." Seeder told them.
"We are?" Willow asks.
"According to our escort you are." Chaff appears taking a swing from a bottle of something.
Willow nods wondering how drunk Chaff currently was. Before the three pile onto awaiting the scores that will soon show on the screen.
