Katniss's POV

"Alright! Let's get to working."

Haymitch sits on the sofa next to Peeta, while I'm sitting across from both of them.

"So..." Haymitch starts off, sipping some water. "What do you know about the Sex Games?"

I keep my mouth shut, hoping that Peeta would speak up. I look at him, my eyes wide. He slightly shakes his head. Crap

"I know nothing about them." I say slowly. And Haymitch spits out his water and stands up quickly.

"What?" He says in a low, dangerous voice. "You know nothing about them?"

"I don't either." Peeta speaks up.

Haymitch rolls his eyes angrily, runs his hand through his temple, and sits back down. I hear him mumble something about needing a stiff drink.

"That's why you're here Haymitch." I say sweetly. "You tell us about the Games."

Peeta nods and smirks, giving me a thumbs up behind Haymitch's back.

"Ok, fine. I'll explain the Games." He lets out an annoyed breath.

"Well start." Peeta says.

"Ok.... here's how the Games work."

Haymitch goes on to explain.

He tells us the way to win, is to be NOT voted out. If you are voted out, you will become a slave in the capital. I shudder at this. Haymitch goes on to say something amazing.

"If you win the Games," he takes a quick drink of water. "Your family and you will live with riches. You will have food on your table and all the money you want."

My mouth opens ever so slightly. I see Peeta with the same expression.

"So what do we have to do to win?" I ask.

"Well, first, you gotta have sex, of course." I wrinkle my nose and stare at Peeta.

"So I gotta get it on with Katniss?" Peeta asks, staring right back at me. Haymitch nods. "Yeah kid. I know I might sound weird but, once you get in the arena, it gets weirder."

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, thanks for that."

"I'm serious. It's not all fun and games Katniss. The fucking capital is thirsty for, basically, porn. And they want to see teenagers get their dirty on. The ones that they don't like, they vote them out. And you're automatically a slave of the damn Capital."

My mouth twitches. I usually don't hear this kind of language. I see Peeta shift uncomfortably. "So... how are we supposed to... you know, practice?" Peeta asks nervously. My cheeks heat up and I look at Haymitch. He clears his throat.

"Well, you have a training room. All the tributes will be there. But you won't be getting physical in front of all the tributes. The room is more for explaining what you need to do the get more votes."

I lift a brow. "But how are we supposed to know how it all works when we don't...." I cringe inwardly. ".... you know, do it?"

Haymitch laughs hard. "First, you're going to have to start using the word sex. It's kind of the point of the Games." Then his face grows serious. "Second, you'll have two nights before the Games to prepare.... physically."

My eyes widen and I give Peeta a glance. He looks more uncomfortable than me.

"Wait so we can have.." I swallow the tension. ".. sex before the Games start?"

Haymitch nods. "As many times as you want those two nights." Then he smirks. "Don't get too sore honey."

My face becomes hot. No doubt I look like a tomato. I quickly get up and race out, into my room.

I quietly close the door and go over to my bed. Grabbing a pillow, I put it on my face, and scream into it.

Why.

I scream again.

Why did they choose Prim?

And again.

Why did they choose Peeta?

And again.

Why couldn't I stay with Gale?

And again.

Why why why.

I scream until my voice becomes hoarse and my throat becomes dry. The stabbing pain from my throat comes and I pull the pillow away from my face. I take a deep breath.

Calm down......

Another deep breath.

Do this for your family.

Another.

Your family could have a perfect life if you win.

Another.

Do this for your district.

I finally calm down. I get up, and begin to walk out the door....

Before bumping into a chest.

Peeta.
