Levinie woke up to her mother, and Adam sitting next to her, holding back tears.
"My darling little baby, please promise you will try your best." My mother says. "Levie, your smart, you know so much that I'm sure you can win. Please win, for me and mom."
I just sit between the two I love the most and cry,
when I have no tears left we talk, recall funny stories, anything to distract us from the horrible reality that is my almost guaranteed death.
Then our hour is over.
Peacekeepers take away my family and march me to the train. Micah is next to me and we walk together away from our home to the evils that await.
On the train, we are introduced to the only district 3 victor, Therasia Ciris. She is 27 and won 9 years ago.
Therasia is very warm and welcoming, she said that she could help us with anything, and that she would begin her mentoring when we have gotten our bearings.
"So, Micah and Levinie, I want to help you however I can. Come to me at any time you need."
"You seem alot nicer then you are on television, where you seem so serious." Micah said. "Well I think we should discuss stuff at dinner, because dinner is something I would assume the Capitol has every night."
"That's sure right! But we expect manners in the Capitol, miss."
Crays chimes in.
Levinie and Micah walk away and begin to talk with one another.
"Hey Levinie?" "Yeah?"
Levinie replies.
"I don't want to be alone in there, do you want to stay together?"
I think for a moment and reply
"Yes, but we need to trust each other so no betrayals or backstabbing happens."
Micah agrees and the two talk until dinner where they meet with Therasia and Crays. They discuss plans and the two tributes say that they plan on being a team.
Therasia says that they should stay away from the center of the cornucopia but they should meet on the outer edges and possibly get a backpack.
The three hardly eat their soup and talk about survival skills, combat, and sponsors. When they are done though, Levinie gets a reminder from her stomach that she is extremely hungry.
Crays gets mad at Levinie for eating so fast and he seems to be holding back vomit because he has never seen someone eat so "animalistic" as Crays worded it.
Levinie and Micah go to their rooms for the night. Levinie puts on a night gown from a closet and goes to bed.
She makes a mental list of what she should do, for now though Levinie has set her mind on getting sponsors.
