" morning. " i yawn walking into the dinning room, seeing finch and finnick at the table. my hair was messy and my pant leg was rolled up to my knee.
" remember, vivienne you have training today eat some breakfast. you need energy! " finch cheered, beginning to fill up a plate for me.
" do you really think i'd forget that i have to prove myself to the capitol. like i haven't already. . .it's like they think i won a game once and forgot every skill i have. " i ramble, angrily.
" its just protocol. " finch reminds me.
" try not to be angry with the world today, we should try make allies. " finnick suggests.
" yeah , i'll try. " i roll my eyes, stuffing some toast in my mouth, it had berries on it. things were so fancy around here for no reason. i catch finnick laughing with a smirk as i stuff the toast in my mouth. " what's funny? " i scoff, still half asleep.
" i just can't believe you even eat toast angrily. " he says still laughing.
" haha. i bet you wouldn't be laughing if i stuffed the toast down your throat whole. " i snap, my leg was up on the chair and i looked like i had just fought in the games already. finnicks raises his hands, with his eyebrows raised — still laughing. i grabbed one of the fancy fruits off my plate and threw it off him, with a smirk. he tried to dodge it but it still hit off his arm, he looked at me with that gorgeous smile.
" excuse me, please don't throw food at the dinner table. have some manners , vivienne. " finch tells me, not pleased at my actions.
" just think if i go into the arena with that aim you might have another winner on your hands. " i say sarcastically, with a wink. finch didn't even crack a smile and just rolled his eyes.
" please, the both of you, remember to be on your best behaviour at training! " finch demands us.
" no promises. " i shrug.
" i'll make sure she is. " finnick nods, with a smile to try and stop finch's vain popping out his head.

we arrived at training and as i looked around it felt like nothing had changed. i looked up at finnick and by his face i could tell he felt the same.
" best behaviour, vivienne. " finnick warns me, his index finger pointed at my face.
" knives. " i smile. finnick raises one eyebrow at me confused by what i just said. " there's my knives. shining in the spotlight. if anyone takes them before i get there, they're getting hunted down first. " i tell him, my face turning from a smile to a serious face.
" like a child in a toy shop. " finnick sighs as i hurried over to my knives.
i quickly made my way over to the stand that held my knives, i grabbed the three knives and lift them up into the light to see the shine and get a better look of them. all freshly sharpened, i swear i saw a twinkle on them when i held them up in the light. " oh, how i have missed you. " i say under my breath with a smirk. i walked over to the box that made holograms show up , you had to choose your skill and you had to 'destroy the holograms'.
they quickly appeared, i twisted my wrist and hand which had the knife in, it felt like a natural reflex. the first hologram came running over, i stabbed it in the head. the second one, came from behind, when i felt it inches away i moved to the side appearing behind it and sliding my knife down its back. there was four more holograms and i destroyed them in all different ways.
my hair went from a clean ponytail into a messy one. i was also sweaty, i look up at the window seeing katniss everdeen watching me. i smirk at her as i throw my knife up in the air and quickly catch it.
" enjoy the show? " i ask her with a eyebrow raised and with a smile, as i exit the box.
" how do you anticipate there next move? " she asks, confused, holding her archery kit in her hands.
" my footwork and my mind. " i say, looking up at her. " go ahead, try it. " i say lifting my arm up to the door that takes you into the illusion. " knives and archery are different though so just use your mind. "

katniss eventually finished, using the skill i recommended, she caught onto it quite quickly. i even made the other tributes come over and watch her.
" what are you doing ? " finnick whispers to me, confused.
" making allies. " i smile, raising my eyebrows at him.
katniss came out and everyone was watching her but quickly went back to there training.
" thanks. " she comes over to me and says with a grateful smile.
" don't thank me. thank your mind. i just made you open your eyes. " i say with a shrug.
" maybe he thinks we'll be a deadly team. " i smirk at her. " it's been a pleasure, girl on fire. " i smile, picking up my knives before leaving.
" yeah. . .you to. " she sighs, i think i surprised her or made her think about the possibility of us being allies.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
me and finnick got called in for our 'individual assessment' to show our skills to them by ourselves.
i went and grabbed my knives again, pointing them at a target that sat on the wall. i closed one eye and lifted my arm up before throwing my knife at it. bullseye. i walked over looking up at hesvensbee as i pulled it out of the board. i quickly started carving something into the board.
'president snow.' it read. i moved back and threw all three of my knives at the name landing them perfectly each time, i looked up at plutarch throwing each one also, purposely trying to threaten him.
" you can't only do one skill , vivienne. " plutarch says over the speaker.
" watch me. " i shout back as i angrily walk through the door, out of the room.
