Plastering on a fake smile. I walk out of the train. I wave to the hundreds of strangers and blow them kisses.

I keep pacing. Suddenly, I feel the train lurch. No... No... NO! I AM NOT READY TO DIE!. With tears in my eyes, I turn to our mentor. He gestures to the door. Tears falling down my face, I head to the door.

I look out the window again. I suddenly taste salt Salt? Oh, i'm crying. I quickly dry my face off with my hands, hoping no one noticed. But now, it was just a waiting game. To the capitol we go.

I keep pacing, dreading the future. In about 15 minutes, we will be taken away to get a makeover. Oh god, why did it have to be me?

As I look out the window, I see that the hills have started to even out. There is less flowers. We are nearing the capitol. My breathing starts to speed up. I'm not ready. I am in no way ready for this. I stand up and start to pace, wringing my hands I am going to die.

I roll my eyes, then go grab a little pastry. As I munch on it, my gaze goes back to the window

I see him smile and shake his head. "What?" I smile and sit back down.

"Exactly. So." I grab another knife. "You gonna help?" I twirl this knife too. "Ok, Ok, I'll help." Inside, I'm ecstatic, outside, I put the knife down. "Good."

"Yeah." I agree. Taking a step closer to him. "If you can't help us." I grab the steak knife from the table. "You are as useful as a pig." I twirl the knife in my hands. "And I'm serious." I throw the knife at a painting on the wall of a person. It hits the painting right in the painted...

"Sure kid." He walks over to the food. "Here is some advice. Don't die." I look at him dumbfounded. "Don't die? Thats it?" I scoff. "You will help us if you want to keep your left hand."

I turn around, my heart racing from getting startled. "Why does that matter. I'm going to die anyway." I glare at him.

I wonder how my mother is doing... I hope shes ok. "Well, you two look awful." I jump and turn around to see our mentor, mentally surveying us.

What am I gonna do? He seems like such a nice guy. How could I kill him. Or even just kill anyone? I think. Animals are waaaaaaaaaaaaay different from people. They don't have the same reaction to when you kill them. But people. I shudder. This is going to be hard.

I look behind me and see that he is also looking out. I exhale a shakey breath and turn my attention to the window again. While spacing out, I don't notice that our mentor has come in for food.

"Ha ha, yup!" I stand up, going to look out the window, outside, there is lots of hills and valleys, with tons of flowers. I look out in awe.
