Chapter 10! Training day! Next chapter will be where the tributes show the Head Gamemaker what they can do and get scored.
And yes, Ed will do something very rash. My only hint is: it has to do with Roy.
For those who don't know, I put up a poll: Who do you think will win the Bi-Country Hunger Games? Pick one candidate from each country. So far, Winry and Katniss are in the lead. Vote!
Note: this is an updated chapter since everyone told me Ed was OOC in the first version.
Katniss P.O.V
The procedure for training was normal. After reading off the list of available stations, we were released into the room.
Peeta and I dragged Prim over to the knot-tying station. Since he and I mastered the basics, the instructor showed us more complicated ones and began teaching Prim. She was a natural and caught up to our level of advancement in no time.
The three of us visited edible plants, fire starting, and hand-to-hand combat. When we arrived at weapon use, Ed and Al were also there. They agreed to share the space.
Ed went first. He clapped his hands together and set them on the floor. A spear rose out of the floor, leaving a crater. He threw it at the practice dummy, spearing it in the heart. Perfect shot.
Compared to that amazing accuracy, my archery skills seemed amateur.
"Wow," Peeta breathed. "How did you do that?"
"Alchemy," Ed said, avoiding our eyes.
"What's that?" I asked, and then clapped a hand over my mouth. By the way he was avoiding eye contact, he obviously didn't want to talk about it.
The boy glanced at me. "None of your business, Katniss," he said, and then stomped off with his brother.
Ed P.O.V
"Brother, that was kind of harsh," Al told me as we walked away from the Panem tributes.
"I don't care, Al. They were being nosy," I grumbled.
He looked confused. "So why did you show them it?"
"So they wouldn't target us as weak," I replied.
Al was silent, and when he started speaking to me again, we didn't mention our talk with the Panem tributes again.
Tell me what you think! Already working on next chapter. I get excited whenever I think about it. : D
