chapter... Uh 12 I think keep leaving reviews for new chapters, been a little off my game lately, had writers block for ages, and I have insomnia (means I don't sleep that much) so I will stay up all night and post a few chapters tonight, in Australia.
BTW- Kentwell7 thanks for the names, really appreciate it? ﾟﾑﾏ?
I jolt awake when a loud clanging sound echoes through the roof. I look to see a handful of stylists in the doorway of the lift.
"Come on kiddies, get up!" A sing-song voice says. A lady with green hair bashes a spoon against a pot. I scan my eyes around the room for Clove, but she's nowhere to be seen. I stand up groggily,as do many other tributes. I go to the lift and take it to the apartment, we have to be in the Training Centre in two minutes. Crap.
I whip into,y room and quickly change into my training outfit. I leave my room to see someone digging around in the fridge. It's Clove. I sneak up behind her, wrap my arms around her tiny waist and kiss her lightly behind the ear. She turns around
"Cato, you saw nothing!" She says surprised, I nod. I didn't see her scrounging around in the fridge.
"We'd better go to Training or we'll be late." I say and we walk to the lift, she jabs the button, the doors open, then close and in a few seconds, they open again and Clove turns deadly. I follow her example, putting on a stone-cold glare. All the tributes turn to us and a few faces I talked with last night appear, Alice and James. They turn back and I know that I won't kill Alice or James in the arena, they're good people. I join the semi-circle of tributes and the trainer, Eden, talks about the things we can do and not to fight with other tributes, like that's gonna happen. After Eden shuts up, I head to the monkey-bars, one of the compulsory activities. I stand behind Alice and she turns around and looks up. She sees my face and whips around again, I suppress a laugh. When I get to the front of the line I've senna eight of the ten who've tried this fall off. I grip the first bar, I can't let myself fall, I am a career. I swing one arm after the other and finish easily. I walk to the knife throwing, I don't want to show off my sword skills until tomorrow. The boy from 6 grabs a knife and practices as well, I don't hit the centre at all, but I have better skills than handling tiny knives. I look to pick up my last knife, but it's gone. I look at the boy from 6 angrily, I want to show off my strength and make him scared of me, so I make a huge fuss.
"You took my knife!" I yell at him. He looks up
"No I didn't!" He yells back and I go to lunge at him. A hand hits my chest, hard. It's Eden, she grits her teeth and seethes.
"I said, no fighting during the Training period." I turn back to the boy.
"You watch out for the arena, cause you're the first one I get!" I yell and Eden blows a whistle. I storm off towards Marvel, he laughs and points to the ceiling, I look up to see, the little girl from 11 hanging from the rafters, holding a knife, my knife, I suppress a laugh, I couldn't be angry at her.
Lunch comes around quickly and I sit with Clove, Glimmer, Marvel, James and Alice. I guess this is our alliance.
"So, what did the guy from six do to make you explode?" Clove asks.
"He took my kni-" I start.
"Actually, the girl from eleven took it." Glimmer butts in. I roll my eyes.
"I know, I was making the guy scared." Glimmer flips her hair.
"Whatever." Eden stands at the front of the room.
"That's training for today, if you want to stay you can, but I suggest you go get some better stuff to eat before coming back." I frown, I go to the elevator to get something better to eat.
The elevator doors open and the sight before me makes me almost punch a wall.
