Chapter 6

The girl from 4

I immediately was attracted to this girl, whose name I still had yet to find out, but that was going to change soon.

"Hey I'm..."

"Sivianus!" Alannha cut in and I turned so fast I jarred my neck, she pulled me off to the side and said.

"What the hell do you think your doing, your supposed to love me!" she hissed at me.

"Why do you even care? What are you playing at!" I replied and ripped my arm from her grasp, straightening myself up.

"As I was saying I'm Sivianus." I say to the girl from district four, she must have been about the age of 15, but she had sea coloured eyes and smelt of honey, her reddish blonde hair fell down to her shoulders, she had a braid going across her frindge.

She turned scarlet and said softly.

"Evelyn..."

"Well then Ev, we have plenty of time, want to choose the first station ?" I asked politely.

She says excitedly, "Can we go to the Rope instructor?"

"I was thinking of that myself" I say with a smile.

We spent the rest of the day talking and going to the different stations, and I couldn't help but show off to her my melee skills, I went into the sparring pit and plucked a long handled hammer with a stone pommel and hefted it in my hand. It was skillfully made and was surprisingly light, the stock stretched to the length of my arm. I swung it through the air a few times before beckoning the District Two male over.

"Hey mate, I'm Siv; care for a scrap?" I say jokingly.

"Jack, and sure, I need a warm up." he replies.

I kneel down and pick up some sand from the ground lightly dusting it through my hands, and blew on them softly, just like Ty had shown me. We started circling each other, him brandishing his sword, taking small steps forwards to unbalance me.

Eventually he swung for my left side, I swung the hammer forward, sliding my hand up the stock out of harms way and parried the blow.

"My turn." I say, hoping that I succeeded or I would look like the biggest tool in Panem. I let my hand slip down again and grasped the stock by the the mid now and kicked at his knee, bending him over I then struck him with medium power on the back, making him land on his chest. 'Thank god' I thought to myself as I offered him my hand.

"So your a Career, I thought you volunteered because you loved that chick from your district," He says, while dusting himself off.

"I'm not a Career, I really wouldn't sink that low, trust me. I did volunteer for love, but it turns out she doesn't feel the same way." I say, turning my face and fighting back the pain in my chest.

"Ahh, I know that feeling." he says, then gestures that he has to go.

"Who was he talking about?" Evelyn asks, a lot more confident then before.

"Her." I say, and point to Allie, who was helping a Career from district 3 hold his bow up.

"Why do you love her?" she asked, and I told her about how I'd seen her in school when I was 11 and I could smell the spice flowing off her hair, and I knew that I was in love.

"Your so sweet." she says and her cheeks flared pink again.

I touched her cheek, then left the training rooms. Tears streaming down my face, remembering the night Alannha broke my heart.

I went straight to the Dinning hall, everyone was still down in training, so I could eat alone for awhile and sort out my head.

"look..." I hear Evelyn says behind me and points to a large screen. The Capitol seal popped up with fanfare, then faded into President Snow's face.

"There's been a lot of controversy over the theme of this years Quarter Quell, we did not think that such a theme was appropriate, but honoring our forefathers we are going to let it slide." He said in a gruff voice, he was obviously annoyed at the decision.

By now all the Tributes were lined up behind me and Ev.

"The theme for this Quarter Quell is... Last Men Standing, yes that's right, this year there can be TWO victors!" he said loudly, and the crowd burst into cheers finally the games were beginning. The room exploded in the same way the crowd did, not with cheers but with people pulling another to a side and talking quietly, or in some cases extremely loudly. I saw Allie walking towards me from my right, and Ev, after talking to her District counter-part was walking to me from my left.

All noise ceased, and both Allie and Ev took hold of my hand, and in perfect sync said.

"We need to talk, alone." Allie glared at Ev angrily and Ev turned red at the silence.

I looked at both of their faces, and walked over to Jack, and said.

"Sort this out for me." and left the room, catching the elevator, but not before Allie had caught up with me and stopped the elevator doors from closing. She ran up to me and kissed me, hard on the mouth, I pushed her away and said.

"What's wrong with you, Why are you doing this to me!"

"What do you mean?" she asked, still trying to plant her lips against mine.

"Why do you keep doing this?" I gestured with an arced sweep of my arm, "why do you keep tormenting me, you betrayed me once how can I ever trust you again..."

"Because you love me!" she interjected.

"Maybe once, but now I'm not so damned sure!" I said and stomped out of the elevator and into my room, I heard behind me.

"So, your going with her then?"

"HOW ABOUT I GO BY MYSELF!" I yell back at her, about to fall on my bed when I see Lestra sitting on my bed, barely clothed.

"Not you too..." I say weakly.

"Relax honey, I'm here to give you the clothes your to wear in the arena. Hmm, I did a good job on you, you are so handsome..." she says stroking my chest softly, she kissed my lips softly and said.

"You know, some people hire the Victors for nights, I just know your going to win."

I felt myself give in to her calls, trying to fight back, but I wanted revenge against Allie, and most of all, I wanted oblivion. I grabbed her by the waist and pressed her against my body.

"Is this what you want?" I say softly kissing her on the cheek.

"Oh, so much..." she giggles and strips off her clothes helping me undo my belt.

"Faster!" she squealed, "Harder!",

"I know what I'm doing!" I replied and I felt her lift her waist up against my body and her moans let me know she was finished, I thrusted three more times then let the pleasure escape from my body, the feeling was so relaxing and invigorating, but it left me too soon. I rolled off her body and off the bed grabbing my clothes and walking into the shower. I mimicked Lestra's assistant's movements and selected the options to allow a soft warm cascade of water to trickle over me.

"What have I done..." I say, and sob softly.

When I walked back into my room, she was gone.

"good" I sigh and fall into bed, almost immediately I fall asleep.

I was woken up by Ty shaking me hard.

"Kid, it's time to go..." he said solemnly.

Jorge was getting Allie out and we rode in the elevator together to the roof where a hovercraft picked us up and took us to the arena, it must have had some sort of force-field around it, because I couldn't see anything but a building and a Great black dome.

"This is it kid, don't make all that training a waste." Ty said and ushered me off the craft.

I was lead to a small room, much like the one before.

"How's this going to go down Ty?" I ask.

"Well first, your going to be interviewed by Caesar Flickerman, then your going to go for your private training session with the game makers." he replied

"Why is the Schedule so messed up this year Ty?" I ask curious.

"Well news is, President Snow was thinking of canceling this Quarter Quell, but the Capitol citizens didn't like that much and there was a riot. So heads up, everything you've done in the last 3 days has been viewed on Panem National Television, so sponsors can still pick a Tribute."

I looked at him with my mouth open and my eyes desperate.

"Don't worry, I made sure they dint air your little episode with Lestra"

I sighed deeply relieved.

"So... what now."

"Caesar." he replied

"Caesar." I agreed.

SO, guys, sorry about the whole LestSiv thing there but, I had to prove that she was a damn crazy bish! This was a rather large chapter I know, but I really felt like writing, heads up there will be updates on Chapters 1-4 then 5-6 will happen too, Im fixing up all the punctuation and spelling mistakes. Anyway, reviews I love, so get cracking!
