When golden turns into rust

Chapter 1

Im running through the woods,sounds of fights in the distance.i need to find shelter.i need to win,for finnick,for my friends,for everyone.Im running through the woods and trees When suddendly,the district 2 male lushes at me,he has a big sword.he tackles me and cuts my leg.

i scream in pain.he gets on top off me,holding me down with his height.He grabs a pocket knife,puts it at my heart.He stabs me in my heart when i wake up.

i scream.where am i?a few looks around the room and i realize that it was a dream.im alive.i didnt get reaped.Not yet,atleast.

I've already stopped screaming when Finnick enters the room.

Finnick Odair,the most famous victor in history.he won the 65th games at 14,he's the youngest victor ever.He's very wanted too,everyone in the capitol think he's the most attractive person they have ever seen,people buy him,he's that attractive.He doesn't like talking about it though.And thats fair.

His blonde hair is in his eyes,his eyes staring into mine
"Are you okay?" He asks,his tone soft,worried.
I nod.but he doesn't believe it.Obviously he doesn't.he's dealt with trauma of the games for years.

He walks over to my bed and lays next to me,he takes me in his arms.his arms have always been a safe place for me,since i was a baby.i fall asleep easily,but when i wake up hes gone.

i look around and smell fish.and eggs.breakfast.i quickly change into my sage green reaping dress.i go downstairs and take a seat at the dining table.finnick smiles.he hands me a plate of a sandwich with fish.i quickly eat it

"So,how did you sleep?"
He asks.i look at him
"Fine.I didn't get nightmares after you laid next to me"
I say.he smiles

"Glad really.you Shouldn't worry about you getting reaped.you're only in there one time."he says.i nod,not convinced
"They can always rig it."
I say.he nods
"Yes,yes i know.but they wont.they love you in the capitol.they..they won't do that..."
He says,but he doesn't even sound convinced.i ignore it.

A few hours later,its time to go to the reaping.
im in line for my blood to be taken.its my turn.finnick looks at me as he climbs up the stage.he nods at me and smiles reassuringly

And before i know it,im in the crowd of girls around 12/13.im shivering slightly,though its July,it stays cold.Its the nerves,i know that myself.

The escort comes on stage when everyone is in their place.Her name is Tulponia streavert.weird names in the capitol,i know.her face is full of make up,shes wearing a bright purple wig.Shes...interesting to say atleast.

"Welcome to the reaping of the 73rd hunger games!Before we choose the two lucky tributes,its time for a little film."
A video starts to show on the screen behind her,about the war,or the dark days,whatever you like to call it.Its the same video everyday,about why we have the games,its basically saying that we deserve it.its been 73 years,yeez.When the video is finally done,she nods

"Well,now its time to pick the tributes!Ladies first,ofcourse."
She says.
she walks over to the bowl full off the names of the females in district 4,ages 12-17.She puts her hand in the bowl,im praying that she wont say my name.she grabs one of the papers in the bowl,and walks over to the microphone.

She clears her throat,opens the paper,and speaks into the microphone
"Archer odair."
Everyone looks at me.
