District One Male - Causimodo "Claude" Alqui (18)
I sit across from Nessa. Lately, since the final day of training, things have kind of been awkward between us. I'm not sure why. We all sit in silence until I'm called up. I get up from my seat without glancing at anyone, then into the room.
"District One, Causimodo," I say. The gamemakers nod their heads. I smile and go over to the weaponry station. I grab a flail and I begin to swing it in the air above my head, then hitting the dummies.
The spikes hit the dummes, creating large rips in them and stuffing to fly out. I do this repeatedly as the large spikes strike the dummies with large thuds and the sound of chains rubbing against each other. When finished, I drop the flail onto the ground and grab a small one with three. I do the same thing, but less.
I then go over to the survival station and tie a few knots. A sudden idea runs through my head from yesterday and I smile at my fail. I rearrange the ropes in a different order and I ask one of instructers to walk forward.
He nods his head and takes slow and steady paced steps forward. He stops and looks up at me. "Are you sure?" he asks lowly.
"How am I supposed to earn points?" I ask curiously. I take a step back and nod my head for him to go. Hesitantly, he purposely lets his foot fall onto the rope and it pulls back then suddenly, the rope falls down and it tightens and his whole body is dangling in the air.
I hear a few laughs and I take this chance to leave. I snicker as I wave goobye to the instructer and out the room, leaving him to hang.
District Two Female - Alessandra Celeste "Nessa" Jones (16)
It's been awkward between Claude and I lately. Maybe because he chose the Careers over me? I don't know. I let my mind wander until the person standing near the doorway calls my name.
I get up and enter the training room. "I'm Alessandra, from District One," I say. The gamemakers nod their head and wave me off the continue. I nod my head and go over to the rope tying station. Seeing as there's a large, dark sheet over it, Claude must've been here.
And so on, I make a few traps and I quickly go over to the station where Veris taught me a thing or two. I grab a small wire and place it in the trap. I then throw a pebble, and it hits the trap perfectly, and sparks of electricity spark everywhere, creating a small fire, resulting to a larger one.
I giggle softly as the nearby instructer demolishes the fire. Ignoring him, I head over to the weaponry and grab a few knives. I hold them in my grip and suddenly, the targets begin to move quickly from left to right. I smile and I whip them through the air and it hits the center with accuracy.
When I think I have shown enough, I bow down and exit the room.
District Two Male - Noah Nushew (16)
For the while, I tease Howl with faces and my eyes, darting to the Five boy. She always gives me growls and such. It's actually amusing. That's how I met most people; teasing and joking.
Suddenly, the woman calls my name and I give her one last look before leaving. When I enter the large room, I smile and say, "Noah Nushew, Two." As usual, I just ignore them and go off to the weights. I carry two, and I lift them above my head for a few minutes.
After that, I head to the weaponry and I pick a bow and arrow. I ready it and pull the string back, and I release it so the end flings through the air rapidly, hitting the target. I do this for a while, hitting each flying target.
Probably knowing it's not enough, I go to an instructer. "Hey, mind practicing with me?"
"With what?" he asks.
I look around and grab a nearby sword. "This," I say. He nods his head and for the while, we clash and attack each other. He chuckles at his fail attempts, making me smirk.
When I think I showed enough, I shrug my shoulders lazily and exit the room. That was rather boring.
District Two Female - Helena "Howl" Draconix (12)
I wait for a while and swing my legs back and forth. It's a bit strange, but I know I'm fully confident to show my abilities to the gamemakers.
I wait and wait until my name is called. I smirk and head to into the room. I give them my name and I go over to the survival station, where they provide plant use.
I get on my knees and I begin to experiment - well, not really. After a while of handling the plant, I coat all of my projectiles in it. I smile inwardly at the sight of it and I get up. I make my way over to the weaponry station and retrieve a few dozen knives.
As the dummies fly quickly from let to right and up, I shoot the knives forward and across the room, hitting the dummies directly on the heads and the chest, at times. I do this for a while until I get bored and grab a bow and arrow.
I pull back the arrow and release it, so a small boing is heard, and the sound of something whipping quickly through the air sounds. It hits the target in the bullseye, and I smile. I continue to do this and the targets move faster and faster, and I hit them all in the center.
When I feel I showed enough, I leave the room in silence.
District Three Male - Veris Sphene (17)
I sit awkwardly, leaned back against my seat. Inwardly, I sigh and glance up at Alyx. These past days, she's been giving me encouraging phrases and things, which is a bit strange, I guess. I mean, I've been trying my best to avoid girl contact, and I've been successful, except for yesterday when Nessa came over. I'm beginning to get used to Nessa. Just a little!
I suddenly hear my name called and Alyx grips my wrist. I flinch and look at her and I feel my face heat up. "Don't screw up," she says. I nod my head shakingly and head into the training room.
I give the gamemakers my name, but as I watch, I see a little ripple in front of them. I just shrug my shoulders and head over to the weaponry. I grab a few knives - something I learned to use since day one, and a few other weapons.
I clutch them in my hand and throw them. Unsuccessfully, they don't hit the center, but they hit close to it, so I guess it's alright. When finished, I go retract a sword from a rack and I chop up a dummy to pieces slowly.
I put the sword back and go try the archery. When I have it in my grip, I pull it back and the arrow rushes through the air and hits the dummy near the chest. I shrug, knowing I'm better with technology, and creating weapons such as bombs.
"Thank you," I mumble before leaving the room.
District Three Female - Alyx Collyn (14)
Oh, I hope Veris did good. I mean, he's the typical Three boy, right? And I'm kind of...wild and ambitious I guess. So, he's the brainy type and I'm the type...like the Careers. Wow, it actually scares me a bit, knowing I like to fight and all.
I wait in silence and I hear my name announced. I sigh and stand up, then I head over to the door. I breath in and let go, then I enter the room.
When I'm in there, I look around. "Alyx Collyn, District Three," I announce. The gamemakers just ignore me and I shoot them a glare.
I make my way over to the daggers placed by the swords and knives. When they are in my hold, I smile happily and take a few steps back, then a few dozen steps to my left. I stand in front of dummies - several of dummies.
I swing my arm back and I throw the daggers in unison, and they all hit the centers; one in the head; one in the heart; one in the chest. I smile and I grab another three, and I charge for one dummy and I slice it up.
When I'm finished with the daggers, I remove them and I toss them onto the ground, but I leave one in my grasp. I chage for that same dummy (the first) and I jump onto it. I stab a dagger into its neck and I begin to spar with it.
Although I know it's just a little stupid, I just want to let the gamemakers to know how deadly I am. When I'm finished, I leave the room, and into the elevator.
District Four Male - Gabriel Anderson (15)
I sit quietly for a while, Tess glancing happy smiles at me. But I just ignore her and turn my attention somewhere more interesting. Unfortunately, nothing is here to entertain me. I sigh inwardly.
I suddenly hear my name sound throughout the room and Tess gives me a reassuring smile. I just roll my eyes and leave. I really don't like acting like this. I mean, I'd rather be at home being my old self, but I'm here, and I have a job to do. Oh, how badly I hate, but love this fake arrogant side of me.
"I'm Gabriel Anderson, from District Four," I say once I'm in the room. Without waiting for further instructions, I go over to the survival station and I begin to tie ropes with ropes, like laces going over and winding around each other rapidly.
Since I'm from Four, this should be an advantage. After a minute or two, I'm finished making a large net. I quickly sprint over to the weaponry and grab a knife. With the net and knife in hand, I run over to the dummies.
As I sprint over to the dummy, I toss the net and I run faster, and I jump onto the dummy, pinning it to the ground. I raise my hand in the air and throw my arm down with strength so the knife hits the dummy in the heart.
I smirk and look up at the gamemakers. I see a few of them smiling, and I feel proud of my work. So, I take my leave.
District Four Female - Tess Vickravan (12)
Several minutes pass and I sit, looking around at the other tributes. The girl beside me giggles and we talk for a bit, but we stop immediately when the other tributes tell us to be quiet. Her partner Iagan is...kind of awkward and creepy. I don't know... There's something about him that I don't like.
When the woman announces my name, I wave goodbye to Nessa and she does the same, and I leave the room. I enter a large sanctuary, and say, "My name is Tess Vickravan... From District Four."
The gamemakers give me a few looks of joy, and I guess they're kind of surprised I'm young? I don't know. The girl from Two also volunteered, so she must've got the same experience.
I go over to the weaponry station, only to find many of the dummies covering in dark sheets and such. I shrug my shoulders and grab a few knives. I breath in and I place four in each hand.
You can do four now, Tess. You can do it, I think. I close my eyes and open them, then I throw it all at the same time. All the knives swing through the air, and I'm nervous until they hit the target. All four surround the center on the head, and the other four hit the dummy beside it, the same thing, too.
When I'm finished with the station, I skip over to the camouflage. I paint myself for who knows how long. When I'm finished, I go stand by near the tree and I close my mouth to prevent a laugh.
I glance at the gamemakers to find them looking from place to place, but a few only have spotted me. When I'm finished, I wipe a few off and I leave the room respectively.
District Five Male - Iagan Dunmore (13)
I stare blankly ahead at the wall in front of me and think back. But I'm quickly snapped out of it when the lady calls me name. I feel a tugging on my hand and I turn.
Jesslyn gives a thumbs up and I just shrug inwardly and push her away, and I enter the room.
When I'm in the large room, there's nothing I can demonstrate, so I just stand and look straight ahead at the many men standing, sitting, enjoying and mingling in the small, glowing-blue sanctuary.
A few of them glance at me, and they turn away quickly.
I smile as I think of grabbing a knife, pinning Jesslyn to the ground, stabbing small wounds in her and slowly slicing her limbs of... Piece by piece. Oh, the wonderful screams and blood.
I'm not too sure how long I've been sitting her, because people begin to drag me out of the room. I let them, and I smirk, knowing the time will come soon.
District Five Female - Jesslyn Reeden (16)
I sigh, waiting and waiting. It's weird... Iagan has been in there the longest, and they haven't even said my name yet. I wonder what he did, or has done? There are so many possibilities!
After a few more minutes, I suddenly hear my name being called and I shoot straight up from my seat. I sprint over to the door and open it. I head inside and smile brightly. "My name's Jesslyn Reeden, and I'm from District Five," I announce.
A few of the gamemakers give me weird looks, but I just shrug it off and head over to a nearby instructer. "Can I burrow that?" I ask, pointing at their pocket, a small white cloth falling out.
"You mean this thing?" he asks, pulling out a white cloth. I nod my head and he shrugs, handing it to me.
"Okay, I'm going to stand over there," I pause, pointing at a mat not too far, then I turn back to the instructer. "And you're going to throw things at me; whatever, like knives and weapons." He gives me a worried look, but I tell him it's alright.
I go to to center of the mat and I put the cloth on like a blindfold. I stand for a while. "Go!" I shout. I suddenly hear movement and something fly by me. I bite my lower lip and I duck downwards, feeling a breeze of air hover above me.
This goes on for a while until I take off the blindfold. I make my way over to the junk of weaponry and clutch a metal staff in my hands. I go over near a dummy and attack, dabbing the stomach, and accidentally tipping over the head.
When I'm finished, I wave goodbye and walk away.
District Six Male - Hoyt Kliesen (16)
I'm silent for a while until I hear my name called. I get up from my seat and make my way over to the door. As the door opens, I feel my heart beat just a little faster.
When the door is open fully, I make my way through and stand in the center of the room and bow deeply. "District Six. My name is Hoyt Kliesen," I say loud enough for them to hear. I look up to see a few giving knowing glances.
I smile and go over to the weapons. I grab a large sword and caress the fine blade. I make my way over to a dummy gracefully and I stand, bow, and count.
"One...Two...Three," I mumble to myself. I rest one hand behind my mid-back and I thrust the sword forward and it collides with the blue fabric, ripping it open and causing stuffing to fly out. I smirk, knowing the gamemakers are possibly satisfied, seeing the son of a famous actor do well.
I raise my arm with the sword and I whip it downwards, almost cutting it in half. I take a quick step back, then forward and I attack the dummy on its stomach. The blade cuts through like the rest.
I hop forward only using one foot, piercing the blade deeper into it. I pull the sword out and raise my hand and thrust it forward once more so it hits the neck area. Oh, I'm lucky for taking fencing while at home.
I put the sword back and I make my way back to the center. I bow and smile politely. "Thank you," I say before leaving.
District Six Female - Aspen Darrow (16)
I wait and wait, not really knowing what to do when suddenly, I hear my name called and I immediately get up from my spot. As I make my way to the demonstration area, I think about the arena. Well, I know I have been wearing a mask for the past few days, so it'll be easy.
"Aspen Darrow, District Six," I say. The gamemakers nod, suddenly showing interest. Now it really makes me wonder what Hoyt did to please them, because I've heard stories of gamemakers getting bored by the Sixth or Seventh District, and not paying attention to the following tributes.
I sprint over to the dangling ropes from the ceiling and I begin climbing them. When I'm on the top, I breath in, and I take a chance. I jump and grab onto the next rope, slightly sliding down, but managing to catch my grip.
I jump to the furthest rope and I catch the rope in my hands. After a while of doing this, I slide down and my feet land on the mat beneath me.
I quickly sprint to the weaponry station and grab a few knives. I sigh, knowing many of the tributes probably played hear, seeing many dark sheets covering dummies.
Ignoring it, I pull my arm back and I whip it forward so it hits the dummy. I charge for the dummy and I stab it repeatedly. I cut it, slice it and stab it for a while until I take my leave, so I don't have to please those bastards no more.
District Seven Male - Alexander Fell (18)
I fiddle with my fingers and look up at Ashley. She looks up, too, and smiles brightly. I flash her a grin and she blushes deeply. Oh, how I should have told her when she asked me that day. My friends consider me loyal, and I never lie. But I never knew what these feelings were until now. How could I be so blind?
When a woman calls for me, I flash Ashley one small smile and walk away, and past the door and into the room. "I'm Alexander Fell from District Seven," I announce. Very few of the gamemakers show interest, but they tell me to go on.
I nod my head and go to the survival station. I grab a few weights and I lift many above my head, leading me to throw them across the room. I turn to the largest in the room, and I pick it up. It takes me a while, but I eventually lift it into the air and toss it.
I flinch a little as it goes in the wrong direction, hitting a large rack of weapons. They all hit the floor, and I just shrug my shoulders. Ignoring it, I run over to the weaponry and pluck an axe. I grip it tightly and pull my arm back, then I throw it so it flies through the air.
It hits the target on the head and I smile. I grab another and I spin in circles, then I stop and the axe goes flying directly to the dummy's
stomach.
When I'm finished, I thank the gamemakers and leave.
District Seven Female - Ashley Shepard (17)
I wait anxiously with the other tributes in the silent and gloomy room. Many of the breaths are hitched, but it's alright, I guess, seeing as many of them don't realize it, or something.
When I hear my name called, I slowly get up from my seat and make my way over to the door. O stop. If Alexander did good, than I will too, right? I sigh inwardly and make my way into the room.
"I'm Ashley Shepard, Seven," I say. The gamemakers nod their heads and I nod, too. I go over to the weaponry station like everyone else and I grab the bow and arrow. Like I did a yesterday, I pull the weapon back and I release, letting it caress the wind as I whips through like thunder.
I smile slightly as it hits the target, and I do this two more times and I head over to grab a few knives. Since I had rarely practiced with these, they don't really hit the center. But close!
I try a few more other weapons, but not the spikey ball thing with chains because it looks...too scary and heavy.
Ignoring it, I go to the artificial - what I call(ed) it when I practiced making a fire with Alex - trees that look like woods at home. When I'm standing in front of a large, tree, I grab a branch and I lift myself up using my feet and grabbing onto another with my other hand. I do this repeatedly until I reach the top.
I hop onto another tree and I make my way down. I thank them and I leave.
District Eight Male - Chase Sedesky (17)
I honestly think this is the second longest wait. First was Iagan, then Ashley. But I just shrug my shoulders when I suddenly hear my name announced.
I give Thorne a quick smile, which she returns, and I head out. I walk through the door and into the training center, where we had to practice. Once I'm in there, I quickly tell them my name and I head over to the survival station.
I pluck a few ropes and I make multiple traps, and I make another one. I tie one end of the rope to a tree, and the other to the tree across from it. I go over to the weaponry and grab a few weapons, and I toss them onto the ground. I go over to the weights and I toss it near the weapons. I then go over to the construction station and grab a few things, too.
Holding the small weight onto the ground, I put a few things onto it such as wires. When I'm finished, I grab another one and connect it with the loose wires and to a small machine on the ground.
I tie the small box-like machine onto the weight using a small rope, and I then position the rope I did earlier. I stick a few weapons into the ground, holding the rope in place. I grab the ball-weight thing and I make my way over to the rope that makes a small boing when I pluck it.
I place the timer-bomb-like-thing Veris showed me in front of the rope, and I pull it back. I smirk and I pull it back further. I suddenly feel a small rumble and I quickly release it.
The ball flies into the air and towards the gamemakers. I bite my lip, but I immediately sigh in releif as it bursts into sparks before it even reaches them, causing attention.
"Thank you!" I shout before leaving, snickering on my way out.
District Eight Female - Thorne Fyre (12)
I wait nervously until my name is heard. I look to Eliana and Theme, but they just give me reassuring looks. Oh, what am I going to do? Marcos talked to the both of us to tell us what to do in training, but I don't even know how to preform it!
I make my way over to the doorway and make my way past. When I'm in the room, I give them my name, and they smile. I go over near the running track where the obstacle course is, and the instructer gives me a time and I begin to run.
The wind caresses my face, smoothing out my hair. I jump over a few a few objects as I run, and I duck down. I see a larger one, and I quickly jump over it, almost tumbling downward, but I balance myself.
When I'm finished running, I go over to the plant identification to begin the berry test. I glance up at the screen, and look back down as I match one with the other, and I begin to identify the plants. I do this for a while until every shadow on the screen is demolished.
I smile slightly at the time and I make my way over to the survival station and I begin to make a snare. I'm lucky Four taught me how to tie rope and to make a snare before she had to go and leave.
Ignoring the thought, I begin to tie the rope in places, then the snare is finished. Leaving it, I go to the weaponry and I grab a bow and arrow. Like yesterday, I pull it back and the weapon glides through the air with speed.
I do this for a while until the final one hits the dummy on its head. I grin and I turn to the gamemakers. The people who are paying attention seem impressed, but the others. I quickly thank them and leave.
District Nine Male - Roketi Mauluga (18)
I sit for a while until I hear my name called. I get up from my seat next to Eliana, walk over and exit the room into another. I stand in the center and look up at the gamemakers.
"I'm Roketi Mauluga," I pause, "District Nine."
A few of them nod and some even look just a bit bored, so I make my way over to the running track just to quickly pass time. When I'm in position, the instructer makes a beep with his timer and I'm off running.
I race through the building, the wind caressing my face, and my arms to my sides, swinging along with my movements. I race closer to the finish line, and I'm just there!
I stop and begin to pant, but I don't let that stop me. I go over to the survival station. "Excuse me, will you be my partner?" I ask the instructer taking guard of the position. He nods his head and we go over to a nearby mat.
I stand on one end, and he stands on the other. He nods for me to go and I charge for him. He dodges, and I turn and swing my arm forward and it clashes with his face. He groans and I suddenly feel a blow to my stomach.
Quickly, I grab the pain thing to find it's his leg that kicked me. He looks up at me, surprised, and I smirk. I pull his leg up and push him back. He tumbles but quickly gets up from the floor. His hands ball into fists and he swings forward and it collides with my cheek.
I let loose of the pain and I swing forward and my fist collides with his stomach. He groans again and I kick him in the shins, then he goes toppling down.
I'm about to go for another blow until he stops me. I nod in understanding and I take my leave quickly.
District Nine Female - Eliana Fortune (12)
I wait quietly by myself. No one is really talking but the whispers exchanged between Theme and I. We giggle a bit, but immediately stop due to the fact that some sneak us glares.
When I hear my name called, I get up from my seat and into the room. I smile innocently and I give them my name. A few nod, while the majority mingle, which kind of irritates me. But who can help it? It's the Capitol...the terrible people.
I skip over to the running track and ready myself. I stand, breath in, wait for the sound, and I take off running down the track like I did with Throne and Theme. I run and run, racing through all the hard times until I finally make it the the ending.
I give myself a rewarding smile and I go over to the next station over - the ropes. I skip the dangling ones and go over to a pair that looks like a net. And so, I place my foot, and I place my foot beside it and I begin to climb higher and higher.
When I'm at the top, I take a leap and I grab the other pair dangling from the ceiling. I jump over to the others and rush downwards. The ropes burn my hand. When I get to the bottom, I blow my fingers and I clasp them together to rid the pain.
Ignoring it, I move over to the weaponry. I grab a few daggers maximum and I toss one so it glides through the air smoothly, but unfortunately, not hitting the dummy. I sigh as I try once more, but it doesn't. I try just once more, and it hits the side, but not the center.
Thinking it's enough, I give my thanks and head out to my room.
District Ten Female - Theme Wells (12)
Now it's even more quiet with Eliana and Thorne gone. I sigh. A sudden voice sounds throughout the speaker, saying:
District Ten, Fredrick Hendrix is not available due to an accident. If we can proceed, Theme Wells from District Ten will go on ahead, and the rest will proceed like usual. Thank you.
I sigh inwardly and get up from my seat. I go into the large room and say, "I'm Theme Wells from District Ten." I'm about to say more until the one in the front with a high ponytail and red lipstick smiles, her chestnut eyes holding delight, interrupts me.
"Yes, darling, we know about that incident about your partner. Now if you'd please proceed. I want to get these over with to send you to your death," she says, smiling.
I groan. What? I somehow remember - Wait! She's the head gamemaker this year, I believe. Our mentor showed us a picture of her and what everyone that will be watching - the important people - does.
I make my way over to the survival station and play with the plant identification machine for a few seconds until I begin. My fingers rapidly go from one end to the other, matching it up with its rightful plant.
When I'm finished, I go over to the running track and I go to the other with the obstacle course. I ready myself until I hear a small beep, and I take off running down the track.
I hop and duck to avoid the things in my way. It's a good thing I'm small, so I have an easier time moving. A sudden high thing comes in my way and I jump over it.
When I'm finished, I thank them kindly and leave as quickly as possible to get away from those bullies.
District Eleven Male - Keith Mapother (15)
When I hear my name announced, I quickly go into the room and stand awkwardly. Okay, let's just say that I'm used to talking to people and all, but not to crowds and to people I don't know.
"Keith Mapother, Eleven," I say. One of the gamemakers nod their head and I go off to climb the ropes. Like last time, I blow hot air into the palm of my hands and I grab hold of it. I lift my legs up and I begin to climb it, and I jump from rope to rope.
When I'm finished, I slide down and I tumble onto my feet, but I catch my balance. I go to the other side of the room and I quickly scale the ladder, then I jump and I reach my hands up to grab the bar above me.
I let my one hand go to reach the other bar, and I continue to do this, careful not to fall meters onto the mat. I love to climb these. At home, we call them "monkey-bars." Strange, but the kids of Eleven are used to it.
When I'm finished, I make my way off of the ladder and I look around for anything else I'm adept at, but I'm not. Well, I'm good at using the rock climbing wall, but it might take too long.
I sigh and head out without a word to escape my lips.
District Eleven Female - Yin Hunter (17)
Silently, I sit beside the three remaining tributes in the room. The two don't even speak, but just stay the same as me; quiet.
When I assume Keith is almost finished, I stand up and I suddenly hear my name called, then I make my way over to the training area where we had to train. "Yin Hunter, District Eleven," I say sternly.
Without waiting for a signal, I go off to the survival station and I begin to tie knots together. I do this for a while until I think it's enough, and I go to the side. I grab two useless rocks and I begin to rub them together.
Small sprinkles of light spark up several times. I groan inwardly, but I hide my frustrated face and I slam the rocks together and it suddenly turns to fire. I flinch just a bit, but not for anyone's eye to see.
I look around the room for something else to do, and something catches my eye. I sprint toward the running track and I stand my ground until the instructer presses the button on his timer and I take off running forward.
I run...maybe a dozen laps and I'm out of breath, my hands cupping my knees. With a sigh of silent releif, I leave the room quietly.
District Twelve Male - Jansen McHaden (18)
"Macie, why don't you join us?" I ask as I look at her. She looks up at me, an uncertain look lingering in her eyes.
"I'm not joining you, Jansen, I already told you why. And I've already been invited by the Careers but I turned them down because what if they turn on me?" she says. "Besides, I have a bad feeling about that girl from Six."
I nod my head and I open my mouth to reply, but I'm interrupted when the woman - who sounds obviously bored - calls my name. Without a word, I leave her alone and I enter the training area.
"I'm Jansen McHaden from District Twelve," I say. When they aren't listening, I repeat it again and some heads turn to watch, and I smile to myself.
I go over to the weaponry station to find a pickaxe, but unfortunately, they don't have one, I just grab an axe. I grab two smaller axes and I hold them with my hands, while the larger one is by my side on the floor.
I pull my arms back and I whip it forward, causing the axes to fly out of my hands and into the dummy's head. I nod at this and I lean to grab the larger one. Once it's in my grip, I charge for the dummy and again, I let it fly and it whips through the air and strikes its stomach.
When I'm finished with the weapons, I head over to the track and when the instructer tells for me to go, I take off running. I do this over and over, running dozens of laps until I hear a voice.
"You may leave, Jansen," a woman with a high ponytail says. I nod my head and take my leave.
District Twelve Female - Macie Chartwood (18)
The talk probably taught him a thing or two. I mean, I had already told him that I wanted no ally, and that I could be fine on my own a few days ago, I think the day before training.
What am I going to do? I think as my name is sounded throughout the room. I stand up and I head over to the door. You can do it, Macie. You can go. I slam the door open and walk through. "Macie Chartwood, and I'm from District Twelve," I say in a mumble, but loud enough for them to hear.
A minority nod their heads and wave their hands for me to go, and I do. I head over to the weaponry station and look at the knives. I'm a bit good with them, but not quiet. I turn and I feel the touch of cold metal against my skin.
I smile slightly as it glides against my hands, and it suddenly disappears. Shrugging my shoulders, I head over to the survival station.
"Can you be my training partner?" I ask shyly. The instructer looking at a clipboard, looks up and nods his head. His eyes hold question and I say, "With sparring, or hand to hand combat, or how ever you say it. Please?"
He nods his head. "I'm going to go easy," he says. Understanding, we head to the center of the room and we are on a mat. He nods his head for me to go, and I take the first move.
I tackle him to the ground and we roll over. I kick him off and I jump on top of him once more. I bring my hand back, but he suddenly pushes me back and I flop down onto my stomach. I bite my lower lip, nervous.
I suddenly feel my arms being pulled back, and I hold back a grunt. Before he could pull the other, I reach my hand to my front and pull out the knife. I dig my nails into his skin and he flinches, and I roll over onto my back and aim the knife at him.
He raises his hands and smiles. I smile shyly in return and get up from the mat. I thank the gamemakers and leave, rubbing my hands against my stomach, making sure I didn't harm him.
To Be Continued...
Okay, this may be weird, but I just noticed most of the girl tributes are happy go-lucky girls! ;D Aha, strange timing. Anyways, what'd you think? There might be errors, and I'm sorry about that... Plus, I wanted to update this earlier, but I didn't have time because I'm travelling again before school begins at the end of the month. .
So, is it good? I hope I got it right, which I think I did. Anyways, I hope you review and I hope you like(d) it! :D And if you're wondering, I didn't want to put it in two parts because I just wanted to finish it. So, yeah... And I'm finished painting my room, also. So that's why I didn't upload quickly like the past few chapters...
Anyways, thank you to those who reviewed and the supporters, and those who submitted tributes! Oh, and a "flail" is a spikey ball with... Nevermind, just google it. :D It's pretty cool. AND YES! THE GAMES ARE COMING SOON!
Hoyt Kliesen = Um, did I get the fencing/sword thingy right? Because I honestly don't think I did. Well, I watched movies about fencing and all, so did I get it right? I'm sorry if I didn't!
Just a random question for Hoyt's creator...
