CHAPTER 3 BABY! Have fun reading my two readers!

Also, to Shadow, credit for the names, plus expansion on character are due to CragmiteBlaster's stories. So, credit to him!

We arrive, and I am still stunned! How? But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, I guess. I shrug off, trying to look cute and innocent. No way can I pull a Johanna here, because I am weak, and I mutter to myself about how I will most likely die.

No! No thinking about it!

We arrive off the train one by one, with Effie trying to make us look happier to be hear, which she forces me to succeed at.

I then meet my stylist, Cinna. He does some weird costume, and now I am scared.

"Uh, fire? I don't want to burn…" I say, quietly.

He just laughs. "No, you do not actually burn, it will just look like it."

Oh. Stupid me.

But as Peeta and I go on the chariot, I feel a bit awkward. He loves Katniss! Maybe I do not know much about it I guess, though I am in puberty stage, and Jeremy looks really cute-

Ugh! I won't go back! I stop myself from crying, because I need to be strong. I take a deep breath, before the chariots start moving.

Marvel and Glimmer are the first out, earning big cheers from the crowd, same with Cato and Clove. District 3 does not give much of a response, but at least it is not wires, while the cheering picks up more at District 4, and I eye the small boy. I need to talk to him tomorrow. Foxface and her partner are out next, followed by Jason and the girl from 6, both getting mediocre crowd responses. District 7's pretty paper, not tree costumes are nice as well. District 8 gets cheers, most likely because of Callico volunteering. The pair from 9 and 10 are out next, just being average. The girl from 9 does have some look in her eye though that makes me nervous. Eep! Thresh and Rue are out next, getting some cheers, but my ears rupture when we come out. Ow!

I look down at my costume and realize the fire illusion.

Cinna, you master!

I realize the crowd likes Peeta better because he is older than me, but whatever… they still like us, while Cato, Clove, and Glimmer eye Peeta in hatred. I see Marvel staring at me, not Peeta in laughter and awaiting something.

We hear Snow's speech about how it is an honor to see us. (Bullcrap!) We are then released from our chariots.

I walk off, trying to go to the escort building, and I step onto the elevator.

I catch a scream in my throat as I see Marvel running to get on the elevator, I slam the button repeatedly to close, but he makes it just in time.

"Trying to close in on me I see?" he says.

"No…" I mutter.

"You were!" he says. Crap! "I will spear you legs everywhere, make you bleed out, you know? You will wish your pathetic sister smashed your skull with a pickaxe after you feel what I will do to you. You and Nettle, little one, are my targets."

NO! WHY! But a bit of curiosity makes me ask this-

"Who is Nettle?"

"District 7 Girl!"

I am able to thankfully leave, but I cry a bit to myself before Peeta comes in. Marvel wants me dead! Dead! Torture… no, No!

Peeta sees me. "What is wrong."

"Marvel wants me dead!" I say.

"The others want me dead." He says, seeming… calm?

"Oh, I learned Nettle's name." I say.

"Ok though, who else do you need to learn?" he asks.

"District 3, District 4, District 5 boy, District 6 girl, District 7 boy, District 8 girl, District 9, District 10." I say.

"You know half the tributes now." He says.

I calm a bit down before going to sleep, but one thing though:

Marvel wants me dead. PAINFULLY!

Sorry if this felt short, just wanted to get that chapter out of the way!

Next is training day one! What will become of Prim? Find out next time!
