"That's great and all, Twilight, but who are these other ponies? Why are we here?" I look over to Tobias. His dark blue eyes are as confused as mine. "What the heck is a faction?" Katniss says. "Oh, right. I studied your stories to see what magic. I could learn. Your books weren't magic books, but they were amazing." Twilight Sparkle smiles. Studied? She must be a Erudite. Hot writhing anger boiled inside my stomach. I fight the impulse to punch her. Or the best I can do with these hooves. Twilight notices my steely look- and probably Tobias's - and continues. "If you're wondering what a faction is, or a district, let me explain." She smiles kindly and launches into a story explaining about Chicago and factions to Katniss and Peeta and what we are. Katniss grins.
"The bravery faction? I'd like to see you try the Hunger Games." Katniss looks sad and angry and lost for a few seconds and leans into Peeta. Peeta wraps a hoof around her. Huh? Twilight then talks about districts and Panem. ".. That's all that I can gather, from your books." Wait. She's saying they have BOOKS? Tobias looks pale. "So.. you know my true name?" Oh my. "Yes, but if you'd like me to call you Four, thats good." Stupid. Those Erudite know it alls have a lot of knowledge, but now they have knowledge that I never thought they could find. Now I really want to punch her. I grit my teeth and lift a hoof.
"Wait! Tris! Equestria is in grave danger. Me and my friends, andyou four are the only ones that can help us. Please. All of Equestria, we can all die. Please, you have to help The princesses are gone. You have to help." Tears well up in her eyes. There is one thing that these ponies are. Cute, and needy, and weak. The Abnegation side of me kicks in. Sighing, I nod. Tobias nods. Peeta nods. Katniss looks conflicted. "I'd love to." she says softly. "But I also need to get home. Do we stay here forever?" Way to be Abnegation Katniss. But she has a point. "Part of the spell is that you can't go back to your homes until the problem is solved. Then you can leave." Twilight looked proud with her magic. It disgusted me. "So, what is the problem Twi?" Peeta asks. "First things first. You gotta meet my friend. Her name's Pinkie Pie."
