The next day, we arrived at the Capitol. The Capitol was beautiful. Though the people there kind of scared me since they were all so colorful. Breckin and I were brought to the remake center to get ready for our Chariot Ride. I was shown to my prep team that consist of Lissette, Ryder and Thalia. I couldn't even differentiate them. I have never seen such colorful people in my life.
Then I was brought to my stylist. "Hi, I'm Brynn." he said. "So, you were assigned to District 5, huh?" I asked him. "Yes, I was." he said. "My plan is to put you in an all silver outfit, to represent power. I'm also including the headpiece. What do you think?"
I didn't know what to say. I was thinking that I would look like a moon in that outfit. But, he's my stylist, and he knows best. "I agree. I think it will look good." I finally said. "Great. Then let's get ready. Oh, and I already talked to Rosalia about this. She's Breckin's stylist."
After we got ready, we were all gathered together before we enter the City Circle on our chariot rides. I looked around the room. All of the tributes were wearing very different and unique costumes. Suddenly, I saw a boy tribute who seems to be from District 2, looking from his costume. He looked very familiar, although I couldn't really tell who he is. He was blonde and really tall. He looked back at me, and I can tell that he was looking at me like he knows who I am.
Finally, we got onto our chariot rides. We entered in order.
1, 2, 3, 4.
It was finally District 5. Our chariot ride got in. Capitol people were cheering, though I don't know who it was for. After all of the tributes circled the City Circle, President King welcomed us. "Welcome, tributes of the 76th Hunger Games!" Then he made a speech, but I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying. All I can concentrate on was that boy from two.
After President King's speech, we were brought to the Training Center. That's where we'll be staying for the rest of the days before the games. Liliana, Brynn and Rosalia went to us. "Both of you! That was beautiful!" Liliana said. "I think I might die before the games because of Liliana's babbling about us." Breckin whispered to me. I almost laughed, though I didn't, or else Liliana will be curious with me.
After that, we went up the elevator to the 5th floor. Each floor represents each district. As soon as we went in, Breckin and I were speechless. It was very beautiful. I never thought that I can live in a place like this. Liliana showed Breckin and my room.
I changed my costume to a blue tank top and jeans. I sat down on the side of my bed and saw a view of the Capitol in front of me. I found a remote on the bedside table and clicked something on it. I looked back at the view and saw a different view. It was a view of the arena. There were trees everywhere. I almost got distracted by the view until Liliana called me for dinner. I looked at the table. A large ham, soup fresh and shiny fruits, salad and almost every single delicious food you can imagine.
I sat down next to Breckin and took a big piece of the ham and some salad. "Whoa, slow down, Alena. You're going to need more food before the games. Save some." Karina joked. I bite a piece of my ham when I saw alot of pale looking girls standing around us with their heads down. "Who are they?" I asked.
"Oh them? They're avoxes. They had their tongues cut off and they serve us." Liliana answered. Though that answer was still not enough for me.
After dinner, I went back to my room and think of what might possibly happen in training tomorrow. Maybe I might cut off Plutarch's head off by accident. Maybe I might kill a gamemaker by accident.
Plutarch Heavensbee, the Head Gamemaker. I've never seen him before, and I can't even imagine how he looks like. Suddenly, I went back to thinking how there's a 76th Hunger Games.
The remaining victors had to vote. Most of them wanted more games, but the rest didn't want the games anymore. Eventually, it was decided that there would be no more games. But, something else changed. Other than the fact that President Snow and President Coin were killed, there was another president, President King.
He was also asked to vote. I don't know whether he was drunk or crazy at that time, but he voted to have more games. Sadly, the vote depends on President King. So it was decided. More Hunger Games will be done. And here I am, thanks to President King. I also remembered the war. It was the scariest thing I've ever seen.
I also remembered seeing the monkey muttations in the Third Quarter Quell. They killed the female morphling from six. I don't want to die that way.
I decided to sleep, but I couldn't. So I decided to see more of the views. Before I changed the views, I saw a countdown on a building.
36:15:26
Three days, 15 minutes and 26 days before the games.
I didn't want to think about it, so switched over to other views.
Arena, interview place, training center.
So many places that makes me even more stressed and scared about the games.
Today. Today is the day for training. Breckin and I went into the training center and spotted Atala, the Head Trainer. She explained us the rules. "And lastly, no fighting. You can save that for later in the games." Was the last rule she explained to us before she sent us to the stations to train.
I went over to the knife-throwing station. A bloodthirsty looking girl was in front of me. She was throwing knives like a professional, and she looks about 14 years old. She must be a Career. She continued to throw knifes at the targets. She never missed.
Next, it was my turn. I started to throw the first knife. It landed on the middle of the target. I threw another one. I didn't miss. I started to throw all of the knives they had and they didn't miss the slightest bit.
I remembered Karina said that we need to have enough strengths. So I headed to the axe station. While waiting for my turn, I looked at the boy from two again at the sword station. He was throwing swords and didn't miss the slightest bit. He was also cutting of the dummies' heads and burying his sword to the dummies' chests. When it was my turn, I started to slice off the dummies' heads and pretending to kill them in every way I can.
Finally, it was our private time with the Gamemakers. I watched as tributes go into the training center. Finally, it was my turn. So they had provided me the knives. I started to throw them and watched as they landed perfectly on the targets. The Gamemakers seemed impressed. When I was done, I went out of the Training Center. I just hope I get a good score.
