A/N: This chapter is probably the worst, but the next one will be better :) Enjoy, follow if you want to be notified when I add more.
We are let back into the Tribute Centre. Mags claps as we enter while Finnick just nods his head. "You were fantastic!" Mags cheers. "I hope we look this good for the interviews." Zac says. We reach the elevator and Finnick pushes the number four. We quickly rise to the level and I walk to the dining table. "Who put this out?" I ask. It's some sort of roasted bird with a few peppermint leaves surrounding it. "The chicken?" Prunella asks. "The Avoxes, of course." I just notice them standing in the corner. My mother told me of them, rebels or rulebreakers that had been captured by the Capitol and got their tongue cut out. I nod in appreciation and sit down between Mags and Prunella. I break off the leg of the chicken and start to chew on it. It's okay, but I'd rather have fish. "You two should get to bed! You have training tomorrow!" Prunella says in her Capitol accent. "Oh, let them have dessert. They earned it." Mags sighs. Prunella folds her arms and orders the Avoxes to get dessert. "Thank you, Mags." I smile. They bring back a large cake, decorated with waves. It's delicious as it is beautiful. "Now, off to bed!"
I walk into my room and quickly have a shower. Apart from the dresses, it's the only thing so far that reminds me of home. I scrub myself with fruity soaps and when I dry myself off, the outfit Dora gave me is gone, replaced by a pair of pyjamas. I slip into them and walk to turn off the lights, but there is no light-switch or a rope. There's only a remote sitting on my pillow. I grab it and press a random button. The window's scenery changes from a view of the Capitol to a forest. I press the button again and it fades into a café. I press it once more and the view is just like Four. A sandy beach with glossy waves washing over. There's even the sound of the ocean, or at least I think there is. I sit in the bed and find one of the buttons have an off-switch. I click it and the lights dim, leaving me with the sound of the waves.
After eating a breakfast of toast, we are given new outfits to change into. I am wearing black leggings and a green top while Zac is wearing denim shorts and a white top. We are taken into the training centre to meet a young woman. While we wait for the last district, I peer at the other tributes. The tributes from One are strong and muscly. The girl has wavy black hair and acid green eyes. The boy has strawberry blonde hair with freckles adorning his face. He looks only fourteen. The tributes from Two aren't that fantastic. The girl has red hair like me but her eyes are icy blue. She gives me a shy smile and looks back at the door. The boy has blonde hair and brown eyes. Finally, the tributes from Twelve enter. The poor things are both shaking. They only look twelve. I shudder at the thought of killing young children who've never had a decent meal until now. The young woman gives us advice on how to survive. Mags' did give better advice, but she did win the Games before, so you can't blame her. I'm let out and Zac drags me to the weapons' station. "You must be Four." The girl from One snarls. "I'm Zac, this is Annie." We shake hands with her and her district partner. "Well, I'm Ivy and this weakling is Leo." Leo nudges her in the hip and gives me a warm smile. Ivy and Zac go to practise with swords while Leo and I throw spears. I hit the target every time.
The tributes from Two come over to us. "Hey. I'm Casey." The girl smiles. The boy from one just shakes my hand and goes to pick up a bow. His aim's pretty good, he can pin the dummy to the wall with his arrows. Casey goes over to the knives and her aim is impeccable. She slices the head of each dummy. "Woah." I smile. "I was top of my class for a reason." All the Careers group at the weapons station and we practise throwing knives, spears, tridents. Unfortunately, because we wasted time waiting for Twelve, we don't get to eat lunch today. As I board the elevator, Zac whispers into my ear. "They're pretty good." I shrug my shoulders. We have pretty plain skills. But at least we can use weapons unlike the other districts. "How are we going to kill them though." Zac adds. I bite my nails and turn away. How am I going to kill anybody?
