The combat station was fun, learining new ways to fight and my blocking was pretty good. Putting this to the test in the arena...well that's a different story.
Before I know it the training day is over, I walk to the elevator with Rayna, who so far has proven herself. She must feel doubt about me too, with her cousin. But I won't tell, that would be silly. Plus it's not even a part of my strategy. No matter how bad the Games gets I wont resort to that, but i'll kill i'm sure, when the time comes. I know I will just like everyone else. I know i'll hate myself for it, but i'll do it for Tristan.
"See ya tonight at the parade" Rayna waves to me as she gets of the elevator.
I wait a few more moments until my elevator doors open. Victoria is waiting for me. She pulls me the arm out of the elevator and sits me down on the sofa.
"Well? Did you get in with them?"
"Actualy I did, i'm pretty good with spears" I smile at her.
"Brilliant! Brilliant! This is great" she's so excited "This will make things easier now."
"I won't kill one person" I blurt out without thinking.
"What?" Victoria sombers and looks at me as if i've lost it cause I have.
"I'm not killing Rayna" I say bluntly.
"Who's that?"
"The girl from four. She was thinking about leaving the alliance to, she told me. So I told her about my plan" I say.
"You what?!" Victoria almost screams "She's from four!"
"So? Whats the matter?"
"The matter is that she can't be trusted" Victoria says to me "you might have just destroyed everything you've earned today!"
"Wait! She won't tell, I have something on her that no one knows"
"Oh yah? And what's that?" Victoria crosses her arms.
"Her district partenar is her cousin. That wouldn't show up on the files would it?" I say smugly.
"No, it wouldn't. But how do you know for sure?"
"They have the same eyes" which is true, I note. Both with greenish blueish eyes. Completly unique and the same to each other.
"Ok, then. Fine, i'm sorry I snapped" she apoligizes.
"It's ok," I say.
"Well you have to meet your stylist now. The tribute parade is tonight"
Right, I almost forgot, the tribute parade, great. I get to run around in some ridiculous outfit that makes me look like a wheat field, just great.
"C'mon" Victoria walks with me to the elevator and hits a button "See you after the parade."
And i'm alone in the elevator and when the doors open three figures greet me smiling and pull me out of the elevator.
"Hello dear!" a large women with butterflies all over her, I'm actualy terrifed of butterflies, I shutter and look to the next person.
"Darling! Your stunning!" A short man leans in to give me a hug.
"Hiya!" A young women, if she's even old enough to be considerd one, waves frantically "I'm Venus!"
"You may call me Atticus." the short man says.
"I'm Dina" the butterfly women says.
"Nice to meet you all" I fake smile as she rush me to a room.
Over the next hour they wax, wash and make me look kinda pretty.
"Well that's all we can do now" Atticus says as if he just performed surgery.
"Come on then" Dina rushes everyone out.
A sit there waiting for my head stylist to come in. A tall beautiful women walks in. She has dark skin and looks fairly normal.
"I'm Merlina, your head stylist"
