The Hunger Games: Peeta's Perspective Chapter 7: Avox, a hunger games fanfic. CHAPTER 7 - AVOX. His back is turned towards the door frame, and he is looking intently outside. He turned at the sound of my voice. For the costume, for the instruction to hold hands, for the opportunity to be close to Katniss even for a moment. He smiles. Years of being overlooked.. I thought, because as he said those words, I can feel how genuine he really is in helping us. I'll show you the best place in this floor. I follow him, deciding that I actually like him. I've seen this earlier but I didn't bother to walk up, thinking that it's prohibited. But since Cinna is a Capitol person, I follow him upstairs and discovered that it leads to the rooftop. Top floor privileges, I think. The rooftop is an open area where we are provided with a stunning view of the Capitol. There is a railing surrounding it that allows us to see the streets below. ![]() I walk around, fascinated by the beauty of the rooftop, and discovered that it has a garden with various trees and potted plants and wind chimes on the opposite side. The cold wind makes everything more perfect. I walk back to Cinna, who is watching me from the railings. You are free to go here anytime you want. It's an easier way out, after all. You can't even fall down even if you try to jump. Dinner will be served in a few. I follow him to the dining room, where we see Portia.! Effie went out to call Katniss, they should be here in a few minutes. After spending a few minutes on the rooftop, I quickly realized that a fresh air is what I need to soothe me. The two head stylists follows me, and we all stand together in the balcony. Portia, I can sense, is still hyped up with the success of our show.! We'll make a splash again! I smile, thankful that these people are so dedicated to making us look good in front of the Capitol. We need all the help we can get. I hear footsteps approaching. I looked at the doorway and saw Effie and Katniss enter the dining area. Katniss and I exchange a brief look, and my heart thudded erratically in response. We walk back inside and proceeded to take our places on the table. As we sit, a man in white tunic gives stemmed glasses of wine to each of us. I don't really drink wine, but I decided that to taste it anyway. I can see Katniss doing the same, watching as her face subtly crumpled as she took a sip. Haymitch arrives in time for the arrival of the food. I sort of expected him to look wasted as he normally is, which is why I am surprised that he showed up clean and more sober than ever. Maybe he really will stick to our deal. It's our job to make them unforgettable. The way they smiled at everyone, the entire Capitol loved it! They made the costumes we made even more fierce. If you can do what you did out there, we'll have a great lineup of sponsors in no time! I don't hesitate to eat, suddenly aware of my growling stomach. I busied myself in eating while listening intently to them talk about our training plans, interview costumes, and other strategies that they wish to maintain. I look at Katniss, and see that her eyes are fixed on the plate before her, and she has not uttered a word since she came here. As we were eating, a huge cake was served before us. I was attracted to its unique presentation, noticing that the icing was created in such a way as to give an illusion of a fire. Then the server held out a lighter and my eyes took in the sight of the fire's blaze on the edge of the cake. They probably put alcohol there, I thought.? What will she be worried about? The girl has porcelain white skin and red hair, almost like the flames that engulfed the cake's edges. I realized that everyone at the table stopped talking and is staring at her incredulously. Katniss must realize this, because as soon as she said those words, anxiety clouded her features. The girl quickly denies what Katniss said and fled from the room. How can she know a server of the Capitol? But I am quick to realize that this is not good news for anyone. How could you possibly know an Avox? They cut her tongue so she can't speak. Not likely you'd know her. I felt a chill run through me as I understood why our servers never spoke a word to us. All of them must be an Avox. ![]() ![]() Of course, you don't really know her. To have your tongue cut and live as a worker of the Capitol. To never be able to speak to anyone again, and be required to follow all orders. It's worse than being a prisoner. I tried to register the implications of this, and I realize that Katniss may be in trouble if she does know the girl. Which, after one look at her, I'm sure she does. ![]() Peeta Mellark is a fictional character from The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. He is portrayed by actor Josh Hutcherson in The Hunger Games film series. Peeta is the male tribute representing District 12 in the 74th. Johanna's first meeting with Katniss involves her stripping out of her tree costume in order to. At the 75th Hunger Games, Peeta draws a picture of Rue's body decorated with flowers.

Rubie's Official Adult Katniss The Hunger Games Costume Small. Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss appears to get 'shot' on The Hunger Games set in France.I know that she has never been good with words; she doesn't like to speak much, and she barely even smiles at anyone. And it's not helping in this situation. If they find out that she knows the girl, what will they do to her? I snap my fingers, as though remembering something. I kept thinking she looked familiar as well. Then I realize she's a dead ringer for Delly. The Avox girl does not have a strand of resemblance to my childhood friend, Delly. How can a girl so brave have so little words to offer? Maybe that's where they got the saying 'silent but deadly'. The anxious air immediately relaxed. I ordered it specially in honor of your fiery debut. I made mental notes of our other competitors, who stood out and who didn't. When Katniss and I appeared on screen, my breathing stopped. My eyes remain glued to Katniss as our chariot moved forward. It never came to my mind that our hand- holding will be taken as an act of rebellion, but now I see why. While everyone's hostile with their co- tribute, Katniss and I stood united. Meet me for breakfast and I'll tell you exactly how I want you to play it. Now go get some sleep while the grown- ups talk. I nodded, and turned to follow Katniss who is now moving toward the door. We walk in silence until we reach the door of her room. I can see that she has no intention of prolonging our moment, but I decided that I don't want her to go in yet. I thought of something to say, then remembered the encounter during dinner. I am intrigued by her story, and I decide to use it as an excuse to stay with her for a while longer. Imagine finding her lookalike here. She must know the meaning behind my sentence and what I'm asking from her. I watch her confused face and waited for her to speak up. She didn't, and I assumed that it's because her story is a dangerous one. I thought of the perfect place for her to say it; the wind chimes in the rooftop's garden will offer us the perfect barrier from listening ears.. I doubt that she went out of her room earlier, much less explore our living quarters. You can practically see the whole city. I translate my own words to: 'you can tell me the story in the rooftop, no one will hear us there.'She understood what I'm trying to say, and she asked the same thing I asked Cinna earlier. I felt the desire to hold her hand again, but I contained myself. I can hear her footsteps behind me. We walk to the railing and I watched her intently as she looked at the streets below. Weren't they worried that some of the tributes might decide to jump over the side? I held my hand out and felt my nerves tingle as I touched the tip of my hand to the force field. I quickly draw it back. We thought the same thing. I want her to tell me the story, to trust me with it. Isn't that the first step to friendship? And we have to do it now, while Effie, Haymitch, and the stylists are still busy talking to themselves. Katniss took in the scenery, and I know that she'll appreciate the garden, probably more than I do. She examined a blossom as I patiently wait for her to start talking. The wind chimes tinkled with the wind. Hidden, waiting for game. My heart tightened in response. How many times did I imagine the two of them together? As if it were giving a warning call. I'm sure it was the same girl. Their clothes were tattered. They had dark circles under their eyes from no sleep. They were running as if their lives depended on it. I mean, one moment the sky was empty and the next it was there. It didn't make a sound, but they saw it. A net dropped down on the girl and carried her up, fast, so fast like the elevator. They shot some sort of spear through the boy. It was attached to a cable and they hauled him up as well. But I'm certain he was dead. We heard the girl scream once. The boy's name, I think. Then it was gone, the hovercraft. Vanished into thin air. And the birds began to sing again, as if nothing had happened. The story is dreadful, and I felt thankful that I had covered for her in the dining table. I noticed that she has goosebumps on her arm and how her lean frame shivered slightly. From the cold air or from her story, I'm not sure which. I take off my jacket, knowing that this will at least provide a layer of protection for her. I felt her take a step back just as I was about to offer it to her. I wondered if she doesn't want me to be affectionate, and I hesitated briefly. But she stopped, so I smiled lightly and gently put my jacket on her shoulders. I secured the button at her neck so that the jacket won't fall off. Her skin feels so smooth under my touch. Why will they want to leave the Capitol? Their life here is so comfortable as it is, I can't imagine what would trigger them to leave. Katniss's thoughts are in sync with mine again. I try to imagine what their motivations will be and placed myself in their situation. I recall how clueless most of them are, and I wondered if there's anything they know to do other than to decorate themselves. I doubt it, knowing that they get everything they need from the districts. I decide that that kind of life would be dull, empty. I wouldn't want to live that way. Then I realized that I said it a little too loudly and someone may hear. I look around and laugh carelessly. But you have to admit, the food's prime. When we get inside, I decide to ask her something that's been bothering me since she began her story.
