Chapter 7: Training: Week 1
Lloyd's POV
I woke up on the third day of me being in the Central Snake. I got up, walked into the dinning area, and sat down next to Acciala.
"Good morning Lloyd! Have you seen Hannah yet today?" Acciala asked.
"Good morning. No, sadly I haven't seen her."
"I'm right here, dearsss." Hannah entered. "Jussst checking the schedule for today. It'sss your first day of training at the Training Field."
"We're going to a field?" I asked, astonished that we might be training in an actual field.
"No, we sssnakesss jussst call it a field. It'sss really jussst an indoor training facility." Hannah answered.
"Oh. Okay. I'm hungry!" I said.
"Again? You really are the hungriest little boy I've ever seen!" Acciala laughed.
Later, we were led into the Training Field by Hannah. Everything was silver, except for some plants in one corner and paint in another.
"Welcome, fighterssss, to the Training Field. I am your instructor Lea. Jusst do as I tell you to and I believe you might have a chance at ssssurviving. Firsst, the rulesss: Rule 1: Absolutely no fighting with other fighters before the Gamessss. Rule 2: Follow all instructionssss I tell you. And Rule 3: All of you musssst participate in a certain three activitiessss. The ressst are optional. Now off you go."
I followed Acciala to the first activity that we have to do. It was rock-climbing. I saw Cole easily climb the entire wall and climb back down as if it were a small pile of rocks. Acciala was good at the climbing as well, she didn't slip once. I climbed the wall slower than Cole and Acciala did, but I didn't slip or mess up once.
"Well done, Lloyd." Lea congratulated me.
Next, I followed Acciala to the next must-do activity, plant identification. Cole went first again, but he really didn't do well and was only able to identify three good plants, and thirty bad plants. Acciala identified all the good plants and the bad plants. I found fifteen good plants and three bad plants. I followed Acciala to the last must-do activity, rope climbing. Cole again went first and almost made it to the top but he grabbed a weak rope and fell. Acciala and helped him up. Then Acciala went and she made it to the top and back down. I made it to the top, but lost my balance and fell. Thankfully, Acciala was under me and caught me.
Acciala's POV
I was glad to have caught Lloyd before he fell and injured himself.
"Great job Lloyd. And great reflexesss Acciala." Lea said.
"Isn't that what got her in the Games in the first place? Dumb reflexes?" Leon, the darkness male fighter, said.
"I walked up to him, got in his face, and told him, "You dare insult me once more, and I'll personally destroy you once we're in the Games."
"I would like to see you try. Wait! Why not settle this right now? Well, what do you say, wimp?" Leon said, more of spat, in my face.
I growled deeply and took another step towards him. I have the ability to growl like a wolf and make people see not to mess with me.
"Alright, enough! Leon, come, here, now!" Lea said. "Acciala thankfully has enough ssssensssse not to pick a fight before the Gamessss. Do you even know the punishment for fightssss before the Gamesss? Death. That'sss what."
After about another twelve hours of training, Lloyd and I were picked up by Hannah and taken to our floor.
"I forgot to give you two ssssome tipsss while you're at the Training Field. For now, avoid all the activitiessss that you're really good at. Prefect the ssskillsss you aren't good at. Ssssave the activitiessss you are good at for your private session with the Ssssnakerssss." Hannah instructed.
After Hannah gave us instructions, Lloyd and I practically breathed through the first week of training. Same schedule every day, same people, and same training. I fell asleep after the last day of the first week at the Central Snake thinking to myself, What will the Snakers be like? Will they be cruel? Will they be careless?
