The White Rose
Chapter 8: Training Moments
Okay, here are the training moments. Next chapter is Interviews Districts 1-6 and after that are Interviews Districts 7-12 and then the BLOOD BATH! Yippee, we are almost there!
QUESTION TIME (mainly for darkangel dj38 and Blueberryattack)
CAN DRAGO AND TEFF BE A COUPLE?
YES? NO? POSSIBLY NOT? POSITIVELY YES?
Disclaimer: The Hunger Games is not owned by me, neither are the characters (expect a few)
All around the room, people were doing many things.
By the swords, Azura and Cassia were dueling to perfect their weapon skills. Pierce was dueling Drago.
Lorcan was shooting areas at targets near by and Velocity was beating up a punching bag.
Cory was going from station to station and Kyra was practicing throwing spears. Kyra had to take breaks every once in a while because of Willisca's maniacal laughter making her miss the target.
Nectar went to the more empty stations such as identifying poisonous things. Steel stuck the identifying poisonous things station most of the time.
Ryan was trying to learn how to camouflage. Washington was going back and forth between blow darts, bow and arrows, and knife throwing. Echo was going around to different stations (trying to get to all of them before the end of Training Days).
Teff went to all of the of the survival stations several times. Lucky to all of the tributes, Flint was to train on his own. Raul was at the trap station, learning to make a perfect snare. Tammi was practicing dodging attacks.
Sabarinath was keeping to herself, making her way around the stations. Mya was seen going to the survival stations and the long range ones. Little Melody was also making her way around to different stations.
Let's focus on the sword fighting, shall we?
Outsider's 3rd POV
Cassia was playing offense as Azura defended herself. The sword instructor was calling out helpful ideas or correcting them as they fought. Finally, after a while Cassia had her sword pointed at Azura's-whose sword flown sideways after a disarming move-chest.
"You fight well." Azura said, breathing loudly.
"So do you." Cassia copied her loud breathing.
"We can use a career like you." Azura tilted her head a bit. "Want to join?"
Cassia went into deep thought. "Only if Pierce can join too." Cassia pointed at the boy dueling District 12's male tribute.
"Deal." They shook hands and nodded at each other. They both made their way to the spears to start dueling once more.
Sabarinath's 3rd POV
Sabarinath was keeping to herself when the District 1 boy stepped in her way.
He had shoulder length blonde hair with black streaks. His blue eyes stared into her green eyes. He gave off a bright smile.
"Are you good at long range weaponry?"
"Not really." She said before starting to walk away. "Besides, I saw that you are a master at it." He grabbed onto her arm before she could take another step. Sabarinath was about to yank it out when he let go.
"My name's Lorcan." He smiled.
She rolled her eyes, not phased and turned her back on him. She kept walking when he called once again.
"HEY!"
"What?" She called back, walking slowly backwards.
"What's your name?" He called.
"Sabarinath." She replied.
"Well, Sabarinath, you looked good in that vine outfit for the chariots."
She gave him a death glare and stalked off, mumbling something about pretty, shiny, District 1 boys.
Lorcan's 3rd POV
Lorcan still stared at her as she left towards the lonely rock climbing wall.
He fallowed her, forgetting his long range weapon plan for a second.
He found himself wanting to get to know this strange girl, unlike the many girls in District 1; she had something different about her. She listened to the instructor and was about to try to do what he says, when Lorcan went behind her.
"Hey."
She jumped. "I thought I got rid of you." She looked at him with her green eyes in annoyance.
"Well you were wrong." He smiled at her.
"No duh." She said before turning back the wall.
Sabarinath put her hand on a ledge, when Lorcan found himself correcting her.
"It's this way." He showed her way to put her arm, putting her hand to the correct ledge. She nodded her head, not really knowing what she was doing. "Then you do this." He put her hand on a little bit higher ledge. She fallowed his movements.
"Put your leg there." He pointed at a suitable ledge that was not to far from the ground. She put her leg there. "Put your other leg there." He pointed to one a little bit above the other one. "Now keep it up!" He called. She started going up the wall, slowly at first, but soon she got the hang of it and was at the top of the wall panting.
She looked down at him. "Thanks." He smiled at her. Was he suspecting an alliance?
Normal POV
As the days went on, people found themselves getting closer together. Sabarinath and Lorcan became an alliance. The careers have formed making Cassia, Azura, Pierce, Velocity and Washington a large threat to the others. Teff and Drago were starting to train together more.
Everybody was nervous, because separate training lessons were happening soon.
After the lessons, everybody was gathered around the TV.
As always, the same woman appeared and said about how the hunger games are so amazing. Blah, blah, nobody cares, woman! The tributes just want to know the training scores!
FINALLY, it appeared.
Azura Dupray: 12
Her mentor and escort cheered extremely happy. Azura smiled, this was sure to be the best score and she just was made official leader of the Careers.
Lorcan Haywood: 11
They all cheered, expect Azura didn't as much. Even his mentor showed a little disproval, he denied being in the Careers just to be allies with some District 11 girl.
Cassia Kingsley: 10
Cassia and Pierce smiled at each other as their escort and mentors whooped. Cassia just secured her place as a career.
Pierce Cruz: 9
Pierce smiled as the escort, Cassia, and the mentors kept cheering.
Velocity Rink: 9
Velocity's crew cheered for her.
Steel Will: 5
The crew smiled a bit, but didn't really seem as happy.
Kyra Rivers: 10
Cory congratulated her with a kiss and the rest of her crew sung dramatically.
Cory Collins: 10
The couple kissed once more as the crew kept singing.
Willisca Ligman: 2
The crew frowned, not surprised as Willisca kept laughing.
Phoenix Remedy: 3
The crew sighed more then before.
Nectar Marion: 6
Her crew cheered for her quietly as she nodded her head. Nobody would want to go after a 6.
Ryan Zhang: 5
The crew kept cheering quietly.
Tammi Franco: 8
They cheered for her.
Washington Caliber: 8
He smiled as the crew cheered.
Echo Stilles: 5
She rolled her eyes, stupid Capitol people doing stupid things.
Wren Levesque: 3
Let's just say that District didn't cheer at all.
Teff Cross: 6
She smiled; at least she got an okay score.
Zap Rode: 4
The District crew clapped politely.
Melody Sear: 6
The said girl smiled.
Flint Maximilian: 12
Nobody was surprised.
Sabarinath Melee: 10
Her District crew clapped happily.
Raul Krash: 10
They cheered for him too.
Mya Shokora: 9
District 12's mentor stood up after that, maybe they can have a victor this year.
Drago Kistov: 9
He nodded his head in approval. The Games might take a twist this year.
