The next day Cato wakes me up."Clovey. We're here." I bolt up, and we go to our mentors. Indeed, the train has pulled up to the station of the Capitol. The people are absolutely terrifying. They all look like ginormic fucking flowers, with bright colours that hurt my eyes. I am ordered to quickly put something nice on, so I put on a simple red dress, and leave my hair loose. I pick up the dress I got from Adonis, and take it to the dining cabin. Cato is still waving at the countless Capitol citisen, on the endless peron. I decide to join him, and the crowd goes wild. That's what happens to the Careers, we're favourited. The train stops, and we are ushered out. Cato grabs my hand tightly, as we are taken into the big building. Here we'll be trained and we'll sleep untill the Games begin. We are taken to an elevator. I've only been in an elevator a few times, and that was for simulation training back in District Two. This one is made of glass, and it goes up and stops within 2 seconds. The doors open, and we're there. In our apartment. Its absolutly beautiful. All the district have come together in this one room. Velvet and other fabrics, from district 8. Weapons on the wall from our own District. An aquarium with fish from 4. Electricity, which we get from District 5. It is absolutely beautiful. An Avox takes the dress I was holding. Cato and I are told that we can do what ever we want, as we're one of the first to arrive. "Is District 1 already here?" Enobaria, my mentor, nods. "Kay,thanks. Cato? D'you wanna go form the alliance early?""How can you read my mind, Clove?" He says with a smile. We take the elevator up to District 1's similair to ours, but without the aquarium. A blonde girl and a brown haired boy are laughing away on the couch."Excuse me?"I say, smiling at Cato. They look back to us."I'm Cato and this is Clove. We wanted to know if we could have a chat about this year's alliance?"
The 1's nod."I'm Marvel and this is Glimmer."The boy says. I smile at Glimmer, who smiles back. "We'd love to have you in the alliance. How 'bout we talk about it over some food?"I nod. She calls an avox, and the Avox leaves to prepare the food.
"So Glimmer,"I say, after we've started eating."What's your weapon?""I do archery, although I'm not too good at it without an automatic crossbow. I can also throw a spear thanks to Marv here, and I can aim with a slingshot. You?""I throw knives.""Pretty accuratley!"Cato interrupts,and I pat his hand."Pretty well,apparently. But I also throw spears and I handle a sword, thanks to Cato."
We smile at each other. That night, I stay with Glimmer,and Marvel stays with Cato. I believe that this is going to go just fine.
