Whoa, guys sorry for the absence! I really got tied up with a lot of stuff going on but now that its all over I can get back to this story! YAY!


***TIME LAPSE FORWARD***

1. Knox Collins 17

"Its now time to meet your mentors. Since we are on a cut time, we've been having to speed things up. District One: your mentor will be Mr. Nolan Theriot." From the door walks a tall lanky, dorky looking man with red hair and freckles. He had a wrinkly suit on which made his appearance even more unappealing. He waves to us with a toothy smile.

He doesn't look like he could put a puzzle together let alone win the games. But I guess I should take all I can get seeing how he probably knows a lot more about the games than all of us combined.

He walks over to me and Ashkia and sits in the empty seat next to us.

God, lets hope his worth isn't determined by his looks.

1. Ashkia Dayson 16

Are you kidding me? This dork is the one that's teaching us things that is hopefully going to save our lives? Just kill me now! I can see the other tributes around the table give me a look that says, "Sucks for you." And I can tell that they smile when they look away.

If looks could kill, they'd all be dead by now. I just don't see why Knox isn't more upset about this. Well, he doesn't really get upset about anything so bump him.

Uggghh! I am so pissed! Now that the other tributes are making fun of us for probably having an idiot for a mentor. Let alone the fact that that makes us a huge target with them knowing we probably won't know what we are doing out there in the arena.

Looks like I'll have to deal with getting enough sponsors to keep me alive.


2. Caelan Brown 17

Whoa, sucks for District One. That's just a lucky break for us. Now its time for two.

"District Two: your mentor is Hale' Alexander." A tall, slender woman walks out wearing a tight fitting gown. Definably more professional than Nolan. Plus she looks like she has some sense so she won't just leave us hanging.

She comes and sits next to our district and up close I recognize her from a game around two years back. She went into the games when she was only fourteen so that means she's younger than I am…great.

Well, at least she's intelligent from what I've seen from her in the games.

2. Ruth Connors 18

Hale'? She's younger than us though? But I guess it'll be easier to relate to her though. There really is no arguing with it.

I'll just have to keep myself from making a new friend instead of letting her teach us. That'll just make it that mush harder to go into the arena having to say buy to another loved one.

But she looks pretty well into this. Her beauty probably got her a lot of sponsors along with the kind of badass look with her lip and eyebrow piercing. Her tan skin and tattoos were most likely done after she won because I remember her being rather pale.

I just don't want anymore pain because of the capitol.

"District Three: Your mentor will be Mark Yodel."

It's a man. In a wheelchair? He wheels in with a oxygen hooked to him. He says something and with his raspy voice its hard to understand exactly what it is. Poor guy.

I sneak a look over to Ashkia and she's falling over laughing. Pay back's a bitch I guess. I put my forehead on my hand with my elbow on the tabletop and shake my head. Wow, the capitol really did it this time.

All I can do is shake my head. I wonder how Clara is taking this with her temper.

3. Clara Corion 15

What. The. Hell? How are we supposed to understand this guy? He sounds like he's gurgling water when he talks. And if that girl doesn't quit laughing I swear I'll go after her instead of the kids from 5.

She's already making enemies by acting like that so that's her problem. I don't know how I am going to deal with this. I can't freak out and start screaming which is what I want to do. That will draw to much attention. So I'll just turn the other head and make a good impression on the others.

If they see that I can be cool and calm, which in reality I'm not, they'll think I'm carefree in the arena which will draw them close. Then I kill them.

When he comes next to us, I greet and welcome him with a sneaky smile.


Well? After a while it did take me a while to get back into my mojo but I did. I tried to maneuver more of the strengths and weaknesses of the tributes into this part.

PS. If you have any suggestions for the arena type, PM me!
