"This year's Quarter Quell we will pull the Tributes from the Existing Victors." I hear the tv say.
My first thought is total fear that I would be reaped from the Existing Victors.
Then I realize that I would have to Volunteer. I head over to the phone in the hall and call Finnick. I'm impulsive but that's what got me through the Games. "Hello Finnick?" I say into the receiver. "It's Adler. "
Finnick and I go way back. Ok more like, two years when I was crowned youngest Victor ever to win the Games. He mentored my friend and only Ally, Elvira Maes,who without her stubbornness and fierceness, I would have never lived. I won my Games by ripping out my tracker and hiding until everyone else was dead. I promised Snow I would keep quiet because he was not happy with my little rebellion. I should have been more clear because as soon as I returned to District 8, my brother, Darsin had been turned into an Avox. "I'm going to Volunteer. " Finnick is silent. "No you can't!" he says finally. I sigh. "Yes Finnick. I can. Katniss Everdeen is the only female Victor of District 12 and I have to get out of here." My parents died when I was nine and it was my brother and I. But now it's just me. It's so lonely here.
"Why?" He asks. I want to tell him about the riots here but I have a feeling the Capitol can hear our conversation ."Adler?" He asks. "Yeah. I'm still here."
"Why do you have to get out of 8? "Just...because" I answer. "Ok if my name isn't called then I'll Volunteer. " Finnick says. "Um...ok." I say. "I better go now." Finnick says "It'll be ok" and the line goes dead. I sit in the house quietly like I do so much of the time. " In less then 48 hours I'll be back in the Arena. " I say to myself.
Thanks to my friend redtiger1312 for helping me
Also, Elvira is prounouced: El-Vere-uh not El-Vie-Ra :)
