Hunger Games - I Volunteer!

"200 miles per hour and you never feel a thing" Effie chirped " i think it's one of the wonderful things about this opportunity that even though you are her for even just a little while you get to enjoy all of this" she clasped her hands together.

"I'm going to find Haymitch he's proberly in the bar car" she got up and tolled of leaving just the two of us in silence which he broke.

"it was brave what you did." he stated i turned to look at him.

"thank you. are you scared?" i asked

"a little. you?" i shook my head

"I've learn to take my fear and either bury it or make me stronger." i told him "although i am nervous i don't like being away from my family and friends. it makes me jittery" i added he took my hand and smiled at me.

"you have me here" i squeezed his hand. the door opened and a man who i knew as Haymitch staggered in great he was drunk i wasn't in the mood for drunks so i stood up and began collecting some food i needed my strength if i was going to survive although i was missing the warmth of Peeta's hand for the life of me i didn't know why. i went and sat back down as Haymitch left.

"what was all that about" i asked offering him some food.

"he isn't what i thought he would be" he mumbled take a couple of things.

i went to my room and watched the two host talking about last year's hunger games when i switched it off. it was a battle for survival. which i was good at Katniss taught me how to shoot a arrow as good as her. Gale taught me sward fighting and when i was younger date taught me on throwing knifes as wells as self defence. so i was equipped. i laid down on my bed and messed with the pin that Kat gave me.

the next day i walked into the cart Effie was doing her make up where as Peeta and Haymitch was talking.

"that's a good way to get killed" Haymitch said

"what's a good way to get killed." i asked sitting down.

"oh joy of course join us" i began putting some food in my bowl. " i was just giving some life saving advice."

"like what?" i questioned taking the tea pot an pouring myself the warm drink which i had yet to experience.

"oh i was just asking about how to find shelter" Peeta told me

"which comes in handy if your still alive" i sat back folding my arms

"are you always this sarcastic or is it because you haven't had your latest dose of alcohol" i questioned. "how do you find shelter" i asked sitting back up and beginning to eat.

"pass the jam will you" he said not answering my question so i repeated it.

"give me a chance to wake up sweetheart" he took out a flask and poured alcohol into his cup. "can you pass the marmalade" i grabbed a knife and stabbed it between his fingers and not a inch from one of his fingers.

"that is mahogany" Effie scolded

"instead of sitting there annoying me why don't you tell me how to survive." i went back to eating my breakfast.

"you stabbed a place mat" Haymitch stated

"trust me it was on purpose if she wanted to injure you. you would be screaming bloody murder by now" i looked over at Peeta.

"you wanna know how to survive. you get people to like you because in the middle of the games when your starving or freezing some water or a knife maybe even matches are the only things that determine between life and death. those things you get from sponsors and to get sponsors you have to make people like you. right now you're not doing a very good job."

"like Peeta said i could of injured you if i want that's me at my nicest right now."

"look were here" Peeta followed by me got up to look out the window and the capitol, which was wonderful sight. we entered the train station where people we didn't even know were welcoming us me and Peeta waved at them.
