Chapter 5
Annabeth:
I finished washing the dishes and setting the table and decided to go back to bed until my parents woke up since it was only six-thirty in the morning. I crawled into bed and tried to go to sleep but found it impossible. I rolled around for a little bit. After about half an hour of rolling around I was finally to sleep. But it wasn't a good sleep, for I don't know exactly what I dreamt except that I was continuously crying. When I woke up, about an hour later, I heard my parents downstairs, so I got out of bed and went down the stairs and saw my parents eating.
"Today is the day that they show the scores and tomorrow is the interview." said my mom. And I hoped that my dream wasn't a bad omen. Little did I know that that was what my little sister was doing.
Aria:
As I walked out of the training center I felt my heart drop. If I thought a five was bad I could only imagine what people would think of the zero I was about to score. Suddenly I was running, I ran right past my trainer, my stylists, everyone who took their time out to wait for me, I ran right into my room and locked the door and flung myself onto my bed and wept.
After a while there was a knock at the door. I ignored it and after a while the person who had been standing there, left. This is what happened for the next four hours.
Then I heard Patrick knock and yell for me to open the door, and when I didn't make any move to open the door he knocked it down. I sat up stunned. The bang could be heard for miles! He stepped around the door that was lying flat on the floor and he strolled up to my bed grabbed me around the waist and started to carry me out of my room. After the initial shock of having my trainer pick me up like a baby and trying to, against my will, carry me away, I started to kick and scream like I was having a temper tantrum. But when that failed I grew still for a few seconds before I attempted to wriggle as quick as a snake out of his grasp. At home I was always known for being able to wriggle out of even the toughest situations and that is exactly what I did now. As soon as I was out of his grasp, I sprinted in the direction of my room before realising that that would be the perfect place to get cornered. Too late. Patrick was in my door frame. I let out a quick squeak. He laughed under his breath. That was the wrong thing to do, because that just made me mad and I started sprinting toward my bed. Patrick must have thought that I was running away because he advanced on my bed, but as soon as he was one meter from my bed, I bounced on my bed and did a flip over his head and landed sprinting to ward the hallway once more.
I ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was running to; I just knew that I had to get away from Patrick. I turned a few corners and stopped when I reached a door. There was a sigh on the door that said: DO NOT ENTER. So I naturally tried the door. It was locked. "Need some help?" I spun around and came face to face with Jayden. "I spent the last half-hour trying to get the keys from Patrick. But when he wouldn't give them to me, I just stole them." he said. "Oh, is that a habit of yours, stealing?" I asked remembering when he had stolen a piece of bread four years ago when Annabeth had dropped it on the way home from the bakery, Jayden had come and quickly picked it up and ran away with it. Not waiting for an answer, I strolled away leaving a very stricken Jayden in my path. I decided to go back to my room even though the door was broken. But on my way back I encountered Patrick, Sonia and her two assistants, Sarah and Sophie, and my costume designer, Richard. They were all lined up facing me. Then Jayden appeared behind me. Just great, I was surrounded. "They are going to show the scores in three minutes. And we would all like to know what made you leave the arena in such a hurry." Fine, if they want to know what happened then I'll tell them. "I climbed up one of the fake trees and shot the fake flying birds each in one of their eyes. Then I asked if they wanted to see my throw knives and they shuck their heads so I left. Happy?" I asked. Everyone stared at me wide-eyed. "You really did that?" Patrick asked. I nodded. "Well, that explains your behaviour. Well I guess the only thing left to do is see your score." Then Patrick led us all into the living room and turned on the TV.
The announcer was already speaking "…and here are the scores…" Both the tributes from District one got sixes, the girl from district two got a four and the boy got a six, the girl from district three got a six and the boy got a three, both the tributes from district four got threes, and then my face flashed on the screen and beside my picture a nine flashed and then Jayden's face appeared and a five flashed beside his face. Then district six's tributes flashed and both of them got a seven, the girl from district seven got a five and the boy got a six, the girl from district eight got a six and the boy got a five, from district nine both districts got a three and finally from district ten both districts got fives. "Well, this is terrible. Just terrible." said Patrick. "Why? I got an awesome score." I protested. "Exactly so everyone is going to target you first." said Patrick. "Oh…" I said weakly.
So, how was the chapter? Please review!
