&lt;p&gt;Karen bows. &amp;#8220;I hope you&amp;#8217;ll enjoy you&amp;#8217;re stay, Mister Roche.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m sure I will.&amp;#8221; he curves his lips into a charming grin. Her cheeks burn, and she almost faints.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I roll my eyes with disgust.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He glances at me. &amp;#8220;You can visit if you want to.&amp;#8221; he says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Dont count on it.&amp;#8221; I sneer at him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He smirks, and closes the door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Karen looks up at me. (she was very short).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Are you guys friends?&amp;#8221; she has that concerned look on. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, we&amp;#8217;re not.&amp;#8221; I say sourly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Oh that&amp;#8217;s good!&amp;#8221; she smiles and starts walking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huh? I shake my head and decide to forget it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She stops in front of a door. She sticks the keys in and opens it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Voila~. Here&amp;#8217;s your room!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a simple room. Beige walls, queen bed, bathroom, carpeted floor, etc. The normal single sort of bed room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I hope you enjoy your stay here Miss Trace!&amp;#8221; she smiles cheerfully as I walk inside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Thank you, Karen. I appreciate it.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;All righty then. Just call the front desk if you need anything. You&amp;#8217;re allowed to roam around as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I nod and she closes the door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I stare around and decide to watch some TV. My fingers pick up the remote and turn it on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Adreianna Trace, and Kavier Roche are now participating as tributes for our district!&amp;#8221; a woman with a pasty face, and pink hair says. Her lips heavily colored with red lipstick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Jeff, what are your thoughts on this? DO you think they&amp;#8217;ve got the goods?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The camera goes to a man sitting cross legged on a chair beside her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He had a mustache, and wore glasses. Maybe 45 years old.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Well first things first, they&amp;#8217;ve definitely got the looks and the money to gain some supporters. Let&amp;#8217;s start off with the young man. Kavier is it? Well he definitely got some dignity. I mean look at the figure on that kid! Definitely survival material-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suddenly I hear knocking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I turn off the tv, and go up to the door. Not bothering to check at who it might be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I regret it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hey.&amp;#8221; he smiles, amused, at my expression.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What do you want, Kavier?&amp;#8221; I narrow my gaze.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He leans against the door frame. &amp;#8220;Can I talk to you for a second?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No.&amp;#8221; Before I close the door he puts his foot in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why are you mad at me again?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I dont need a reason to be mad at someone like you.&amp;#8221; I sneer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And what type of someone am I being, exactly?&amp;#8221; he says evasively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yourself.You&amp;#8217;re being yourself.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He goes quiet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I dont exactly know why I&amp;#8217;m mad at him..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I think its the fact that he scoffs at the most difficult things. I dont know that much but I can already tell how arrogant he is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;its so irritating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Can you please leave now?&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He slides his foot away from the door, and I close it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to slap myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Gaahhh.&amp;#8221; I groan falling on the bed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How could I say that? Im such a monster! I mean he HELPED me didnt he?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But then again&amp;#8230; he might&amp;#8217;ve been doing it so I wouldnt slow him down..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I grab a pillow and try to suffocate myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was another knock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Who is it?&amp;#8221; I call bitter-sweetly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Its me.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No&amp;#8230;no.no.no.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Open the door, sweetheart.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can hear my heart beating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;N-no, thanks.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She goes quiet on the other side. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Please dont do this.&amp;#8221; she says. &amp;#8220;Dont go participate.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I stare at the door. &amp;#8220;I-I want to&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can hear her breathing, against the door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why do you want to?&amp;#8221; I could hear her struggling to keep her voice calm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Do you even want to know?&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No&amp;#8230;I dont care what your reason is, I just want to take you back home! Do you know how devastated I would be? To loose you as my only daughter?! Cant you forget about yourself for a second and think about others?!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess that pushes my buttons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A-are you trying to say that I should feel sorry for &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt;?!&amp;#8221; I slam the door open to glare at her. &amp;#8220;You wanna know something? You NEVER think about me. You dont care what I think! You just do what &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; think is best for me! Do you know how long I&amp;#8217;ve been trapped in that crap of a house? My..whole..life! My whole frigging life!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Its was for your own good! I had to do it to keep you safe!&amp;#8221; she shouts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;IT WAS LIKE PRISON FOR ME!&amp;#8221; I scream. &amp;#8220;Every single day was like prison for me! Dont do this, dont do that! I HATED it. I HATED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Im already 15, but you treat me like I&amp;#8217;m 5! I wanted to get out of there!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;And you participating in the Games is an answer?! You&amp;#8217;re going to die Ariana! You stand no chance in there!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I grit my teeth. &amp;#8220;You dont know how its like to be trapped. Because I&amp;#8217;d rather die, than live another day like that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This shocks her, and she only stares at me with wide eyes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Goodbye mother.&amp;#8221; I say and close the door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was quiet for a moment, and I bite my lip to keep myself from crying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It wasnt like I was sad or anything&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was pretty relieved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I didnt know you felt like that.&amp;#8221; she says softly. &amp;#8220;If this is your wish, I&amp;#8217;ll let it be. Goodbye.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hear her walk away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I walk towards the bed and lay down. I stare at the ceiling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is good&amp;#8230; I feel better. I was able to pour out everything&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of it was true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I close my eyes and start laughing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m happy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15976685452</link><guid>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15976685452</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:58:51 -0500</pubDate><category>RP</category><category>ARIANA</category><category>4</category></item><item><title>RP Ariana (3)</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Kavier Roche.&amp;#8221; her voice bellows across the auditorium. A spotlight hovers around the audience and stops in the middle section.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I squint to see clearly. A boy stands up from his seat, and makes his way out of the aisle towards the stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;There he is!&amp;#8221; the announcer exclaims with such extravagance that I want to shoot her a glare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She acts so ecstatic that its disgusting. Kavier finally makes it to the stage, and his face appears on the large tv screen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His hair was jet black and brushed across his face. The features that stands out to me is his eyes. Very blue and aloof&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I feel a pang hit my chest, but decide to ignore it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Allright! Now for the female tribute!&amp;#8221; she rips an envelope open once again, and takes out the golden slip of paper.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My heart starts to pound when she stares at the name, and looks into the audience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Adreianna Trace.&amp;#8221; she says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The spotlight hovers at where I am and all eyes stare at me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I take a deep breath and stand up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wait! NO! THAT&amp;#8217;S A MISTAKE!&amp;#8221; I hear mother holler from the balcony.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I dont bother to listen to her, and make my way out of the aisle, to the stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;NO! YOU SIT DOWN, RIGHT NOW!&amp;#8221; she keeps shouting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soon enough her voice fades away. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The announcer gives me a sweet smile, as I walk next to her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ladies and gentlemen.&amp;#8221; she pauses dramatically. &amp;#8220;I present to you, our tributes!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our faces pop out into the large screen. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Lalala" height="401" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/8zntd1.png" width="1014"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Confetti pops out of nowhere and showers around. A sound of trumpets fill the air.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The woman next to me grabs my hand and drags me into this room, Kavier follows behind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Stay right here.&amp;#8221; she closes the door that lead to the stage and goes into another door on the left wall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was silent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look at Kavier, who seems to have been staring at me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hm. He was pretty cool looking.. I guess.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He had a hazy atmosphere, and his eyes suddenly looked very aloof.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can already tell he&amp;#8217;s the silent and careless type of guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We just stare at each other for a second, until the announcer bursts out of the room completely changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Well kiddies-&amp;#8221; she looks at us a bit alarmed. &amp;#8220;Did..something happen between you guys?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No.&amp;#8221; Kavier says bluntly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His voice sounds like &amp;#8230; velvet..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The kind that could pull on the heart strings..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She turns her gaze to me, her brow raised.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;W-what?&amp;#8221; I say confused.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nothing.&amp;#8221; she opens the door she had come out from. &amp;#8220;This way little munchkins.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kavier goes in first, and I follow behind him. It was a very narrow and very long hall. No doors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Go to the meeting room, which is a right turn down this hall, a left turn down THAT hall, another right turn when you see a splitting, right again when you see the black door, and down the stairs. The meeting room should be on your left.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I stare at her. &amp;#8220;Can you repeat-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Good luck!&amp;#8221; she chirps, and slams the door close.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wait a minute!&amp;#8221; I go to the door and turn the knob, but fail to make it budge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She..she locked it!&amp;#8221; I exclaimed turning to Kavier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was already walking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wait! You got all that?&amp;#8221; I run to him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, but I&amp;#8217;ll figure it out.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I flinch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This guy&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I stare at him, as he keeps going down the never-ending straight hall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I dont have a choice dont I?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I clench my jaw, and follow behind him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was quiet again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;So are you ready for this?&amp;#8221; he suddenly asks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I feel that pang again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where is that coming from?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Uh, yeah. i guess.&amp;#8221; I murmur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean I wanted to be in the Games didnt I?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I see.&amp;#8221; he mutters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could hear the smirk in that voice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ugh, something about this boy makes me want to hate him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I take the time to study him from his back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He had a broad and firm figure. He was a head taller than me too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We make a turn into another hall, but this time there were doors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I inhaled some air, slowing down my pulse. I had forgotten to keep track of the time we&amp;#8217;ve been walking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I keep this up, I&amp;#8217;ll get dizzy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We keep walking, and turn to another corner. Still the same looking hall, but not as long.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We came short on an end with one curving to the right, the other to the left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kavier went right, so I went behind him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope we&amp;#8217;ll get there soon. I needed to rest, but no way was I going to tell that to Kavier. He&amp;#8217;s my enemy isnt he?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We walked in a straight hall once again, and my head started to throb.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I blink a couple times to make it go away, but it doesnt work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It just got worse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We go to another turn, and stop at a door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STAIRS &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It says on the sign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;em&gt;and down the stairs. The meeting room should be on your left.&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I remember her saying that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kavier opens the door and I follow behind him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yup, it was stairs allright.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very long spiraled stairs that didnt seem to reach the end.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;How big is this place?!&amp;#8221; I growl with frustration, trying to see the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kavier is already heading down, with no hint of exhaustion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This irritates me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I take a deep breath, and start jogging down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I overpass him it wont matter. I know where to go when I reach the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I pass him, and grab on to the railings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He doesnt say or do anything different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hm.&amp;#8221; I frown, going faster.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll get there soon, and once I do, I&amp;#8217;ll stop and rest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I kept going and going.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My heart starts to pound, and my pulse quickens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My head already goes beyond headaches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know this isnt good, but I ignore them anyways. I dont show any sign of slowing down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I turn behind me to look at Kavier. He&amp;#8217;s still in his normal walking pace, not bothering to catch up to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I grit my teeth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll show him.I dont need anyone.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this on my mind, I go faster. I can feel my hair drag behind me, and the cold railing against the tip of my fingers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Im almost there..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Im almost there&amp;#8230;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But suddenly my feet numbs, and everything blurs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I couldnt see anything, but I knew what was happening. I was falling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I lost balance, and was tipping over. The force of gravity pulls me towards the ground, and I can only imagine the sort of pain I&amp;#8217;ll be feeling when that happens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Something grabs onto my shoulders, and wrist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I stop falling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ha?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Idiot.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I dont even bother to look to know who it was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What the heck were you thinking?&amp;#8221; he growls, pulling me against him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I flick him away from me, and grab onto the railings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I-Im. fine.&amp;#8221; I hiss, clutching onto my forehead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yeah, sure.&amp;#8221; he mutters, and yanks me away from the railings. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And before I know it, he flings me on top of his back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hey! Let me go! Put me down!&amp;#8221; I demand, grabbing onto his neck so I wouldnt slide off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No.&amp;#8221; he says, and starts walking down the stairs so easily, as if I weighed as much as a feather.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish I could hit him, or struggle at the least, but my head hurt so bad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And my body feels weak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This sucks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only is he doing this, but he knows how weak I am.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How easily I can be targeted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I clench my jaw, and close my eyes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then&amp;#8230;unfortunately, I fell unconscious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hey, wake up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huh?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I yawn and open my eyes, blinking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At first, I was startled to realize where I was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Kavier&amp;#8217;s back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I remember everything after that. My cheeks heat up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I fell asleep..?! On his back?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UGH!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Its locked.&amp;#8221; he says bluntly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look at the door in front of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Is this the meeting room?&amp;#8221; I stare at it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Im sure it is.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wait, its locked?!&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I just said that.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Then how are we-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He kicks it. The hinges break off at the impact, and the door falls forward with a thump.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was a woman inside. Her eyes wide at the sight of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You idiot!&amp;#8221; I start chocking the life outta him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I got it open didnt I?!&amp;#8221; he hissed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You didnt have to-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A-are you guys the tributes?&amp;#8221; the woman asks nervously.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; We both glance at her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes, we are.&amp;#8221; I push myself off Kavier&amp;#8217;s back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m Adreianna. And that&amp;#8217;s Kavier.&amp;#8221; I introduce. &amp;#8220;Are you our trainer?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She shakes her head. &amp;#8220;N-no, no.-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m your trainer.&amp;#8221; A man walks in beside her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wait..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You&amp;#8217;re&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His slick hair, his green eyes&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He puts on a smile. &amp;#8220;Nice to meet you both. My name&amp;#8217;s Liam.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The guy I told to put my name in the Reaping!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He turns to the woman. &amp;#8220;You can go now Karen. Oh, tell someone to fix the door.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her face turns scarlet as she nods and leaves the room. Her nervousness was coming from nowhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Im sure you have lots of questions.&amp;#8221; he looks at me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I blink, and feel dazed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was right though, he was very attractive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ll explain everything, so both of you sit down.&amp;#8221; he points to the white cushioned couch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kavier goes ahead and places himself there, and I sit myself on the far side of the chair. Away from him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Liam&amp;#8221; raises his brows at me before shaking it away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Im really sorry you had to walk all the way here. its supposed to be secretive.&amp;#8221; he says. &amp;#8220;Would you like some water?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No thanks. We&amp;#8217;re fine.&amp;#8221; Kavier says firmly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I glare at him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Allright.. then..&amp;#8221; Liam clears his throat. &amp;#8220;Well we have much to do by tomorrow. Today we&amp;#8217;re allowing you to say goodbye to your family, and pack some small things you want to bring. Tomorrow we head out.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My heart starts to quicken. &amp;#8220;Where are we going..?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To the Capitol of course!&amp;#8221; he says a bit alarmed that I would ask such an obvious thing. &amp;#8220;Tomorrow we head out at 6 am in the morning, at the train. You can ask as many questions at the ride to there as well. But, you&amp;#8217;ll be staying here for tonight. When Karen comes back she&amp;#8217;ll take you to where you&amp;#8217;ll be sleeping. We&amp;#8217;ll arrange some time for you to meet with your family. Do you guys understand?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We nod.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He smiles at me. &amp;#8220;Good.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Liam)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All of them were bodyguards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They&amp;#8217;re sticking to me so closely and so cautiously that it was making me stick out like a sore thumb in this huge crowd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Please slow down, Miss.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Remember to breathe.&amp;#8221; they tell me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How could I FORGET to breathe?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Im fine.&amp;#8221; I say, holding in my annoyance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was the time of the Reaping. It was located in the Great Pirz. One of the biggest and grandest auditoriums in the world.&lt;img alt="Where The Reaping Is Held" height="300" src="http://jefferykrit.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/ldsconfcenter-exterior.jpg" width="400"/&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was looking for that boy I had seen yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hoping he had kept our agreement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Miss Trace!&amp;#8221; someone calls. &amp;#8220;Pleased to see you here!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I turn around with a look of relief in my face.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it turns out it was someone else. It was a girl with her hair tied so tightly that it made her skin stretch back, and her eyes pop out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;her dress was the color of pink that reached her knees, and frilled at the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She notices my disappointed expression ,which I dont bother to hide, and puts a concerned gaze on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Is there something the matter?&amp;#8221; she asks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I dont know why she speaks to me as if I&amp;#8217;m an adult, she looks the same age as me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Oh nothing&amp;#8230; Who are you again?&amp;#8221; I crook my head, trying to figure it out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She smiles tightly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m here from the Harvard family. I&amp;#8217;m they&amp;#8217;re eldest daughter. Im sure you have heard of me.&amp;#8221; she curtsies gracefully.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No, I&amp;#8217;m afraid not..&amp;#8221; I tell her apologetically. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somehow, I think she takes offense when I said that, but it vanishes in a blink. A golden beauty smile replacing it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m Danica Harvard. Our family respects the Trace Bloodline very much. We acknowledge that you are next in your mother&amp;#8217;s place no?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The guards around me stiffen at this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look at them with confusion, and then at her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What do you mean?&amp;#8221; I say, narrowing my gaze.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But suddenly the trumpets blow before she can reply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Welcome, welcome.&amp;#8221; a voice echoes through the auditorium.&amp;#8221;Please take your seats ladies and gentlemen.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Over here, Miss Adreianna.&amp;#8221; the guards usher me into an empty spot, and i dismiss myself from the conversation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Danica disappears into the crowd, before I can ask her some more on what she had mentioned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Minutes pass and a woman comes into the stage. Her hair is red and tied into a big bun. She&amp;#8217;s wearing a black long gown that drags behind her as she walks to the microphone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The time has come to select one man and woman from each district to do the honors of representing our 75th annual Games.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The feelings I&amp;#8217;m feeling at this moment was very wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m nervous and hopeful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nervous that my name &lt;em&gt;wont &lt;/em&gt;be there, and hopeful that it &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; be.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15872206740</link><guid>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15872206740</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:56:00 -0500</pubDate><category>The Reaping</category><category>Ariana</category><category>Crap like dat</category></item><item><title>More Ariana xD</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsybb1SorG1qcltfxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;More Ariana xD&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15858053286</link><guid>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15858053286</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:20:26 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>&amp;#8220;What do you mean she&amp;#8217;s part of it!? She&amp;#8217;s only 15!&amp;#8221;
&amp;#8220;Yes, I know...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What do you mean she&amp;#8217;s part of it!? She&amp;#8217;s only 15!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Yes, I know ma&amp;#8217;am. But this-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I heard a smack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Dont you &amp;#8216;but&amp;#8217; me. My daughter is NOT participating in that game and that is final!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I walked away from the door and sat on my bed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The stranger had come an hour ago&amp;#8230;and the argument had started just when he stepped inside our home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I knew exactly what this was all about. Yet somehow, I couldnt seem to put a grasp on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Games?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m in the Games..?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Leave! Get out of my house right now or I will have you taken out by force!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my mother screamed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ma&amp;#8217;am please calm down. I understand how angry you are at this but every other district is going through the same thing. You&amp;#8217;re daughter has to do this!&amp;#8221; the man kept on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No she doesn&amp;#8217;t and I&amp;#8217;ll make sure of it! Now LEAVE!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I heard a shuffling of footsteps and a slam of the door. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Madaam is everything allright?&amp;#8221; I heard one of the guard&amp;#8217;s say.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No! Please make sure that that man doesnt step foot in my property ever again!&amp;#8221; she commanded. &amp;#8220;Who let him in anyways?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was part of the Government. We had no right to stop him&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once I tuned them out, I felt my heart starting to pound.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i get it now!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quickly I slid on a white jacket, and pulled on my hoodie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I slid the window right next to my bed open, and stepped out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sun was already setting which means the guards guarding the front of our house have moved to their second section, giving me a free space to land on from my room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I took a deep breath and stepped out through the window.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My feet landing on a ledge 2 feet below. I stayed there for a couple seconds for my pulse to slow down, before doing one final leap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The grass basically muted my impact on the ground, and I fell silently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With another breath I jogged around the front lawn garden and towards the gate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It didnt take long for me to see him. he was heading out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quickly I caught up to him before the guards from the gate could spot us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Excuse me.&amp;#8221; I poked his back, and he turned around.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was a head shorter than him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he seemed surprised to see me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was surprised as well that he looked much younger than I expected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe 19 years old.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His hair was slick, and his eyes were purely green. Now that I mention it, he&amp;#8217;s quite attractive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Are you the man who spoke to my mother a while ago?&amp;#8221; I asked. Just to make sure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He scrunched his brows and narrowed his gaze at me. &amp;#8220;Y-yes..? Wait are you-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I want to participate in the Games.&amp;#8221; I cut him off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ah-&amp;#8221; he opened his mouth but I silenced him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Listen, I dont  have much time to explain so please understand. My mother will be doing everything in her power to get my name out of the reaping. But I want you to do as much as you can to prevent that from happening. I know what position you stand. You can overpower her decision. Make sure I stay there no matter what, all right?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He only stared at me, but I saw no hint of confusion so I took the idea that he understood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ll be going now then-&amp;#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hold on.&amp;#8221; he stopped me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What? Hurry, there isnt much time.&amp;#8221; I whispered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Why are you doing this?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somehow, the question startled me and I couldnt find myself to answer it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He only nodded at this, and turned around. &amp;#8220;I see. I&amp;#8217;ll do everything I can.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With that we both parted ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I took a deep breath and jogged the same way I came from. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why are you doing this?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I dont know. I really dont know.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15856897015</link><guid>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15856897015</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:58:12 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>How Ariana Looks Like :D</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxt79i9ORs1r5h8zb.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15848614981</link><guid>http://adreiana.tumblr.com/post/15848614981</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:18:44 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>RP for The Games or whatever</title><description>&lt;p&gt;NBLAH BLAH BOLAHHH&lt;/p&gt;
