District 5 Train

Rhea Glass-Tobias, the now 27 year old victor, kissed her family goodbye that morning right after the reapings and right before heading onto the familiar metal high speed train. While she was going to miss her little family and leaving little Terra back home with Chase and Roe was a little concerning she kind of needed the break and knew that she needed to do this. Unfortunately you work hard to get out of the games just to get brought back again year after year to relive it from the outside in the hopes that you would soon be replaced. Most of the time though you weren't, she could only hope things would be a little different this year right?

It was weird stepping on that train, like so many memories she had been able to push back came flooding right back to the front of her mind. Maybe it was because she had taken a break for a few years that made it so hard for her to try and forget but in previous years had never had this problem. Rhea knew though she was running late, it was hard to say goodbye and not know when she would be back, and the only thing she could say to that little 4 year old was "Mommy will be back soon." She was almost caught a little off guard seeing the tribute there in the entrance of the train already chowing down on food. Not like she should be surprised, most of the tributes were like that, even back during the 28th games when she participated she almost overate on the train. "Don't let me interrupt you. You don't need to be nervous, well I mean maybe a little at the situation. But I'm here to help." She smiled a little slightly awkwardly. It had been awhile truly and she needed to really get back into the swing of things.
