The Fight for One's Love

Chapter 3 Chapter name: she got skills that you never seen before part 1

A\N Hey guys I know it's been forever since I've updated I've been really busy and I just got back from a holiday. In this chapter it's going to be training, yay I love training it's one of my favourite scenes in the movie and in the book. I can't wait for CATCHING FIRE yayyyy but it's so long away .
by the way in most Prato story's prim is weak and depends a lot on Cato but in this story I am taking a different approach prim will have a skill besides health and knowing the plants, I'm not going to tell you guys here because in this chapter you will find out in training. She will be strong she might even pull a Johanna. You might have to read catching fire to have an idea of what I'm talking about. So my prim will surprise you. So I'm going to stop rambling and get on with the story.

Ok so here is chapter three I hope you like it please review and favourite and follow me, and mostly review.
Enjoy!

I wake up in the morning to Effie knocking loudly on my door. "Primrose, breakfast will be ready in five minutes. You need to get up sweetie!" she says.

"I'm up, I'm up. I'm just having a shower Effie" I yawn.

"Okay." Her voice floats behind her as she walks down the hallway, away from my door. I get out of the warm bed, and when I get into the shower, I instantly relax under the warm spray of water. I wash my hair again and when I step out, I'm blown completely dry from head to toe, just like yesterday.

I walk back into the room to find an outfit on my bed, a fitted black and red shirt with a number 12 on the back and on the sleeves, a pair of long black pants with a red stripe down the outer side of the pants and black combat boots.

I slip into the clothes, tie the boots up and leave my hair down, reaching the top of my pants.

I leave and go down the hall to the dining room, where everyone is already seated and eating their food. An Avox stands in the corner waiting for any requests. I look to Eden, dressed in an outfit identical to mine, and notices he isn't touching his food and is looking a bit green.

I take the seat next to him and eat my breakfast of fruit, a piece of bread, and 2 glasses of orange juice. The juice doesn't taste like the one glass I've had at home. It tastes different, sweeter and fresh.

"So, you two get two weeks of training. Got it?" Haymitch slurs. Katniss already told me that we get two weeks of training before I left, since there is a two week break in between the chariot ride and the start of the games. But when he looks up from his whiskey spiked coffee, I nod along with Eden.

At least I get some time to work with my skills, and discover if I have anymore. I hope I do. I know I'm a healer and I know plants. That may help me in the games just a little, but I need a weapon, and a source of heat and something to cook over like a fire which I'm pretty sure they teach you how to make.

"Primrose-"

"It's Prim" I snap. I'm sick of everybody calling me Primrose. What is so hard to remember about Prim?

"Sorry Prim" he apologizes, and I'm surprised he even bother to apologize. "In training I would like you to try trowing some knives. I know you know plants and you're a healer, but you need a weapon, he says with a hint of authority in his voice. I nod at his request, even though I have no idea how to throw a knife. I still have to try though, for myself, Katniss, and Rue. "Make sure they remember you."

After breakfast we make our way over to the elevator. The thing is fast and gets us down to the floor where the training center is in no time. When the door slides open, I'm amazed by all of the equipment spread around.

There are shiny weapons everywhere. Swords, daggers, knives, bows, heaps of more things I can't identify, and beyond the weapons I see obstacle courses.

The training centre is a massive, open gym. Bright lights illuminate the area from above. The cavernous space echoes with the sound of grunts and clashing weapons. In the corner a few tributes engaged in hand to hand combat with a trainer in body armour. They roar as they hurtle their bodies towards each other. In another corner there's a flash of metal, as blades fly through the air. Knives stab… Spears are hurled… An axe lodges its self in a soft target. A closer look reveals that the targets are life-sized human shapes.

The careers, tributes from the districts one and two, are eager to show off. They project an aura of arrogance in order to intimidate their competition. Once in the gym, they head straight for the sharpest weapons.

To keep everyone safe, peacekeepers with stun guns are placed around the room. They stay out of training, but are quick to step in if a fight breaks out.

In a special area perched above the gym, are the Gamemakers with a clear view of all the tributes in the room. Sometimes they take notes, sometimes they help themselves to a lavish buffet, but for now they are studying us tributes: how we move, how we interact, how we jump, how we fall. All this knowledge will come into play when we are in the games.

The head trainer, Atala, can whip even the weakest of us into shape. She gathers all of us into a circle in the center of the gym so she can explain the rules. "No fighting with other tributes," she says, "you'll have plenty of time for that in the arena." Atala starts to point out the various training stations. "My advice is, DON'T IGNOR the survival skills. Twenty-three of you will die. One will not. Who depends on your ability to anticipate? Everyone wants to grab a sword but lots of you will die from natural causes. Ten precent from infection. Twenty present from dehydration. One year the arena was frozen tundra. Five years ago the arena was a burning desert. Exposure can kill you as easily as any knife." I listened to her words and made mental notes in my head.

She blows her whistle and the training has begun.

Eden taps me on the shoulder and I jump with a fright. He looks paler then this morning. "Oh, hey Eden."

"Hey Prim. What are you going to do first?" he asks. I think about Haymitch's words of wisdom to try throwing knives. "I might go to the fire making station. What about you?" I ask politely. I can see by the look on his face what he is thinking. "Uh I think I might try making a snare." I nod and we make our own ways I go over to the fire making station.

When I get there, the trainer has a surprised look on his face. This probably isn't the most popular station.

"Hi, I'd like to learn how to make a fire please?" I ask shyly. He nods and instructs me to follow him, then shows me how to start a fire. After I make a few fires in half of an hour the trainer says that I'm really good, so I move on. I spot Eden on the rope course and he looks pretty good up there. I look around and spot Cato slashing heads off the dummies in a fast motion. I look over at the knife trowing station and see the girl from district two is hitting the targets in the shape of the body every time.

Haymitch's words keep going through my head 'In training I would like you to try trowing some knives' but I still can't bring myself to go over there. Instead I see edible plant station is empty and decide to go over there.

I aced that station. The trainer could tell I was a healer.

I finally bring myself to try throwing knives. I walked over to the station. Lucky for me, the girl from two had decided to join her fellow tribute at the sword station.

I take a knife from the small table. I feel the knife In my hands and aim it for the target before closing my eyes. Then, flicking my wrist forward, I let the knife fly….

With my heart pounding I open my eyes to see the knife hit in the center of the target dummie's chest.

I don't quite believe my eyes, so I blink again and it's still there. I walk up to the target and take the knife out then go back to the designated area and throw the knife again. Once again, it's a bull's eye.

I grabbed another knife and flicked my wrist forward at another target where it's another perfect throw. I throw more knives, again and again, not believing how good I am at throwing knives. How the hell am I doing this? I must be dreaming. I've never even thrown a knife before now.

I keep it up for another hour, hitting the center of my target every time. By the time I finish throwing the knives, I realize I have an audience. I see Eden, Cato , Clove, Glimmer, Marvel, the male tributes of seven and eleven, and the girl from seven. The blush in my cheeks flare and I walk past them to the hand-to-hand combat area.

When training is over for the day, we return to our floor. Haymitch immediately asked how we were doing in training.

"Well I made a few fires, and threw a few knives," I say.

He nodded. "And how did that go?" he asked, leaning forward.

"Well I was okay" I say. Eden laughed. "Are you kidding me? She wasn't okay, she was fantastic," he says, eager to share my success with our mentor. "Half of the room was watching her, including all of the careers," he says, giving me a warm smile.

"Really?" He nods and I walk to my room with a small smile on my face. I lay down on my bed thinking about my day. I look around my room and spot my dad's book on the bedside table.

I grab the book and begin to look though it.
