To protect me, the hell with that how can he protect me by keeping someone else safe? I throw another knife at the target and cringe when it hits far from the center and bounces right off, my thought are jammed and I cant see right.
"You know if you throw a knife you should probably use ones that are sharpened." I look down at my arm realizing I have been throwing dull knives.
"You know if you act like an ass people wont want to talk to you." Finnicks smirk disapears and he looks hurt,
"Watch it there princess you almost hurt my feelings" I let out a sigh of frustration as once again the now sharpened knife hits far from the center.
"Uhh you get on my nerves so easily, just because your my best friend dosnt mean you have to protect me" I turn fully facing him and ignoring the other tributes in the training center
"Your right, I dont have to because we are best friends I do it...for other reasons" He smirks and lets out a laugh making me angrier.
"can we just talk about anything else" He nods placing his trident down and sitting
"What about allies"
"I dont want any" He gives me an uncertain look and crosses his arms
"Liv-"I cut him off
"No, I want it to be me and you" He gives me a half smile
"If thats what you want"
"its what I want"
....
"Liv Cooper" Finally after sitting here for a few hours its my turn to go into the showing where I show my talents to the game makers. On my way in I pass Finnick and he gives me a side smile before disappearing back into the giant room.
"You will have 10 minutes to display your chosen talent." I nod Taking a knife of the stand and placing it in my hand letting the cool metal run through my fingers. I glance up at all the people who practically watch us like cats playing with mice over the years and get angry. I grab a knife throwing it at the wall and then another and another until I look back at what I have done, Hundreds of knives stick to the wall. And I leave the room.
Everly and my mentor along with Seana and Finnick say things to me asking how it went and what I did. I let myself for once express how I feel, I mean im going to die in the arena anyway.
"What did you do?" They are going to kill me
"What happened liv?" They are going to kill me before the games even start.
For once I dont even care.
"I spelled the words, May the odds NEVER be in our favor, On the wall with knives. And then I left." Everyone goes silent
....
My hands shake and Seana grabs them to stop myself from shaking the whole table. We all sit in silence and wait for our district.
"District four" Everly squeals smiling and Finnick and ignoring my presence
"Finnick Odair with a score of 10" Finnick smirks and everyone congratulates him on his high score, hate to disappoint them with my low score.
"Liv Cooper with a score of 11" Everyone starts screaming and cheering, I dont care it means nothing to me. I dont want to impress them, I want them to burn for tourchuring kids in there dumb arenas. I get up and head to my room falling asleep as soon as I hit the silky beading.
....
"Wake up princess" Finnick pushes a piece of hair out of my face and pulls me up and out of bed I groan in response falling into him and getting comfortable.
"Nope time to sleep" He laughs grabbing my hands and leading me into the bathroom
"Get showered, today we go into the arena" He whispers the last part as if his words could burn holes in the ground and break us apart. He leaves without another word and leaves me to get ready. As read as I can be.
The cold water runs over my body and it feels frozen but I like it. The different soaps and scents fill my nose, the capitol feels so far from home. I try to take as long as I can to savor my last moments of freedom but Everly comes and tells me that Seara is here to get me ready. I just out of the shower, dry off and slip on a robe heading out to the room where I will be getting ready.
Seara examines me, telling me to put on the clothes given to her. A Skin tight suit with black detailing, defiantly water of some kind. No one speaks because we all know this is goodbye and its likely I wont be coming back.
"This way Ms.Cooper" A peacekeeper pulls me out of the room an into the aircraft that will be taking us to the arena. I take my seat,
"Your hand Ms.Cooper" A lady who I can only guess is a doctor holds what looks like a giant needle, and obviously holds my tracker. I flinch in pain and see Finnick along with a few other enter the aircraft also sitting and getting their trackers.
....
"The outfit makes it obvious that there will be water, thats good. Its you and Finnicks element you guys have the upper hand." Seara secures me in the glass like tube and it shuts, this is my last taste of the capitol. I wave to Seara and she smiles a small smile waving back before I disappear from sight being pushed upward towards the arena.
