Hi my lovely readers

Still don't own the Hunger games

"Where to first?" Gale asks looking dead ahead playing the part of a fearless warrior perfectly.
"I hadn't gotten that far yet" I respond realizing the last time I told him that was the last night we spent in the district, the last night of our freedom. May have well been the last night we were genuinely alive.
"Sorry" he smiles faintly and I know he is remembering the night too.
"Hm, maybe the boy from eleven" I ask searching the room for his mountain-like body. My eyes find him at the spear throwing station. From the looks of it he's pretty good too. Definitely a competitor we will have to watch out for.
"You're kidding right" Gale is looking at me like I have lost my sanity.
"No" I say trying not to sound as hurt as I am. The boy obviously knew Rue. Rue will forever be a symbol of innocence, of Prim, and of the mockingjays.
"Well then let's go" Gale says allowing me to lead the way to the boy.
"Hi" I happily smile at him "I'm Oaklan" the boy grunts in response throwing another spear into the heart of a dummy.
"I'm Golin, why are you doin this huh twelve?" he asks throwing yet another spear.
"I don't understand, doing what?" I ask confused.
"Making friends, you know it's just gonna be harder for you to kill, or is that your strategy. Get everyone to like you so no one wants to kill the sweet little girl from twelve. Well guess what twelve. I have reasons to live. Don't think for a second I'll think twice before killing you" with that Golin stomps off angrily to the next station.
"Hey Golin' I yell after him "for Rue"
His head snaps up and he nods in agreement "For Rue".
One down twenty to go. By lunch time I have met almost all the poorer districts. The is Kahana, the girl from eight who is very good at using a bow and arrow. He district partner Timbow, who mostly keeps to himself but Kahana says he's good with a spear. From district nine I meet Flicca who is terrified of dying and is being held together by a picture of her lover, a previous victor named Cable. He's also her mentor but they are rarely allowed to see each other. Her district partner Begom says he thinks it's because Cable refused a visit to the capitol a few days before the reaping and this is their form of punishment. From ten there is a little twelve year old boy named Proctor who will talk to anyone although he doesn't seem to have any talent with weapons. The girl he came with is really good with plants and knowing where they come from and what to use them for. She simply tells me to call her ten, she is afraid of getting too close to other people. Then of course from eleven there is Golin and a girl named Seria, she alike Rue has a knack for climbing.
When lunchtime finally does arrive, I wait behind as everyone but the trainers file out the door. Gale forgets his promise because of his stomachs hunger and leaves me behind. I don't really min this though so I ask a trainer if I can stay behind and work on my knife throwing. She nods and I begin.
Targets move in circles around me and I hit every one dead in the center. I don't even realize another tribute is watching me until a round of applause.
"Well well well, looks like the angel has a skill after all"
Sorry For the shortness, I will not update until someone reviews
