Chapter 4:
I walk over to the hand to hand combat station to see what the Careers are up to and of course Brooklyn the girl from district 5 who volunteered is over there making allies. I first look at district 1 the brother and sisters, Mark and Glitter. Mark is a huge 6 foot 5 man who I will not be able to kill but glitter looks weaker she seems to be more here for the ride and to ride along with sponsor points because she’s absolutely gorgeous. In district 2 there's Tobias another strong male who is talking to Mark and Catie who is off to the side by herself clearly not a huge threat but not someone I can trust.
I head over to tree climbing area and see if there are any tributes over there unfortunately no one seems to be willing to talk especially the tributes from district 3 after I asked to be allies they turned me down “well karmas a bitch” I yelled to them and walked away. Later that day me and Ariel head back to our floor. “Meet anyone?” she asks, “Yeah district 6 they seem super” I answer. “I didn’t meet anyone but I did practice my survival skills” she says to me. “tomorrow we need to meet at least one other district for allies we should team up and go together” I say. We both nod our heads. Once we reach our floor Fannia bombards us with a million questions none of which we actually care about. Both me and Ariel grab a plate of food and head to our rooms for the night.
“Finny, love wake up” It’s Zenobia one of the members of my prep team she says as they are getting me ready again, then a dark skinned lady with a curvy figure walks in and says “I think you three are done here” she says with a smile and the prep team rush out. “Hey I’m Quantisha your stylist for the games and I thought I would introduce myself, you look like a charming and sexy boy Finnick, I’ll be sure to sure to use that when I see you tomorrow night before the tribute parade” she gives me an encouraging hug and says “we believe in you Finnick” as if it were coming out of my own mothers words I hug back and then she walks away. Me and Ariel head downstairs and we immediately go over and see district 11 although all we see is the male who is a skinny sickly looking male. “Hey I’m Finnick from district 4, Chris and where is Grace?” I ask him. No response “Boo” yells a little girl in the cutest voice I have ever heard she runs out and gives me a huge “Hi my name is grace and this is Chris but he doesn’t speak much” I didn’t even notice the little girl her camouflage was so good, I can tell by the excitement in her eyes she has no idea what’s going and it makes me feel empathy for her but also anger towards the capitol for making them do this to her. I go up to her and rub her shoulder “I promise to protect you okay” she comes and gives me another hug and me and Ariel walk away, all I can think about is how sad it is she has little idea what is really going on or that her death is quickly approaching. I go up to Eli and Jillian and Jillian stares into my eyes and I try not to look at her, as beautiful as she is I must stay back I can’t afford falling in love in the hunger games. She comes over “I hope we can we be good allies in the games, me and Eli could really use the help” she says as her long brown hair flows perfectly over her small but beautiful shoulders. “So what’s your family life like?” I ask her. “Well my mom died when I was 7 in an accident and my dad committed suicide after she died, says there was no point anymore without her and I take care of my younger sister who’s eight and my 75 year old grandmother, without me I don’t know how they will survive” she bursts into tears and I go over and give her a warm hug
“Don’t worry everything will be okay” I say to her as I think. Do I really love this girl?
