How do you like it now?

Chapter 3

When she woke up Glen was awake laying next to her. "Good morning beautiful," he said he kissed her forehead and said, "I was just about to wake you up Lavender came in and said it's almost time for dinner."

"Oh." She got up and looked at her reflection, she was already dressed in the dress she was wearing before her hair was tangled a little so really all she needed to do was brush her hair and put on shoes. She considered putting her hair up in a ponytail or a bun but she decided to let the silky brown locks down. They went all the way down to her waist. She walked out to Glen already ready. They kissed and walked out of the room.

        "Hello," Peeta said. Katniss just waved they were both wearing a blank expression. "We will watch the reapings and have dinner," Katniss said.

        "Hello," Kelly-Ann said and did her best to smile which she thought was probably not convincing. Glen waved and they went to sit down at the dining table where there were various types of food. To name a few there was duck, salmon, chicken, pork, beaver, beef, salad, a few different types of cake, and some fruit. Kelly-Ann hadn't seen this many food since they moved into the districts. She wondered what she was going to eat how much she was going to have. She ended up having salad, beef, chicken, fruit, and some cake. She ate fast because she was hungry, that meal she just bought before the reaping, she had to save up the money for a week to buy that food. That was going to be the first proper meal she had in a long time.

        "Shall we watch the reapings now?" Lavender asked, and no one answered so she just turned it on. All of the career reapings were pretty much the same, at least one or two people tried to volunteer and the first person who said it got to go into the games, but one was different, in district four a fourteen year old girl, was reaped she looked scared as hell, but no one volunteered, witch was strange them being in a career district. Then everyone started laughing, as if no one volunteered on purpose, as if they all wanted her to die. She collapsed on the floor of the stage, balling her eyes out, but they kept on laughing. It made her feel bad for her, but she also wondered what she did so bad that the whole girls section was laughing at her going to most likely die, maybe not though, maybe she was training she never knew this girl, she could be a killing machine, she could never tell.

        The rest of the reapings were the same. Kelly-Ann ended up eating all she put on her plate and dessert. The foods were so rich and amazing, that it made her feel nauseous, she was not used to this food. She was vomiting in the toilet, when the door opened she had just finished and she wiped the back of her hand across her mouth. She looked up to she it was Glen. She changed into her pjs and laid down on the bed and Glen came under the covers.

"I can't believe we only have four days left," Glen pointed out.

"Four days left until we die." Kelly-Ann replied.

"Until I die," he corrected her, "I will protect you, you won't die."

Kelly-Ann left it at that, then they just cuddled until Kelly-Ann saw the room get dark.
