Araceli Mariela Ricci POV
It's now day two and I have to say I'm enjoying the company of my allies. Rhett and I joined forces with Ablynn from Eleven and also we have convinced Mino from Eleven as well. We started to figure out our powers, granted we all were weak I could barely heal a paper cut without feeling like I needed to faint and Ablynn could move only a fraction at a time, but we were slowly getting there. We were listing to story from Rhett about how thought he caught a rabbit but instead he caught a bear when a voice from above us,
"May I join you guys, you seemed to be having more fun than me or anyone else?" we turn around and it's the boy from Five, Derek I believe.
"Sure the more the merrier!" I cheered, Derek stand beside me and watch Ablynn test her Power, Mino was sitting beside me reading a survival book, Rhett walked over to Derek and shook his hand.
"Hey, I'm Rhett, this is Ara, Ablynn and this is Mino." He pointed to every one of us, Ablynn barely broke her concentration and Mino looked up from his book and plastid a weak smile, Derek waves to all of us and says
"Well, it great to meet you, I just want to find a good alliance before they game begins, I really only have my memory to rely on." Derek shuffles to his side; Rhett playfully slaps Derek's back and laughs
"Well we are as good as it's going to get, how about I teach you some sword skills okay? Maybe it will help you in the game?" Rhett asks, Derek agrees to his offer and they head off to the station. I sit back down and focus on some healing techniques,
"There is something not right about him." I look up and Mino is looking at me,
"I saw him at the Chariot Rides and he looked like he could kill the audience right there and then. And look at him now he is sensitive as a rose petal." I look at Mino, he can't be serious how could see how sensitive he is,
"Mino is right, he knows how risky it is changing tactics like that, and he must have a bigger plan underneath it all, something bigger than anyone else knows about." Ablynn spoke up, I look at both of them in disbelief,
"Guys we are both from Eleven and Twelve, we know for every tribute from lower Districts have no chance of winning. Do you think we are going to deny a tribute because he is a bit shifty? No, because just like everyone else here, we are all scared of dying in the hands of the Capitol." I ranted, Ablynn and Mino looked at me, they try to evaluate what I just said, and it's properly one of the harshest things I have said since being reaped.
"Okay, we will let him in, but please don't let your guard around him. Mino and I still don't trust him." Ablynn answered, I turn around and Rhett and Derek are laughing having a good time, I turn back and say to Ablynn and Mino
"See wasn't that too hard to ask."
Nova Aztek POV
I sit at the plant station by myself, everyone else is off practising their powers on the other side of the centre, my power requires me to use plants so I'm quite contented be y myself I enjoy the peace of it all,
"Good afternoon, are you all right by yourself?" A voice asks beside me, I sigh as turn to meet a boy with dark curly hair and luminous green eyes,
"Because I don't have to deal with people, also I'm practising. Look at this." I show him some nightlock, ever since that incident in the 74th games nightlock has been a known term all around Panem. I extract the poison from them, a dark purple liquid runs out of the berries and into my hand. I chuck the berries into my mouth and smile, the boy claps
"Nice party trick, the name is Daniel." Daniel puts out his hand and I gladly put my hand out,
"The name is Nova, how about I teach you some plants?" I ask hoping he would fall for my trap,
"No thanks, I'm from District Seven, I'm surrounded by them on a daily basis, and also I know enough games that you want something out of it." He said, the smile drops from my face I hate the fact I was outsmarted by him.
"Shouldn't you be practising your power?" I snarl, he laughed and pointed out,
"I lift objects that are 20 kilos as my day job; I'm pretty sure that energy bursts aren't hard to control." I cross my arms and say,
"Prove it, I sure you will do fine." I said sarcastically, Daniel gets up and looks over to his district partner who was talking with another tribute; he throws an energy blast between them which causes her to yelp and stumble backwards. She turns around and death stares him before flipping him off, he laughs and shouts
"You know you love!" She does a small sarcastic laugh flipping him off again, he laugh at her before he sits beside me, he is closer to me now only ten centimetres away from me now,
"I told you so." He says in an undertone, I gently bite my lip and push myself closer to him,
"Well honestly, I never doubted you for a second." I was about to kiss him when a voice boomed above,
"What the fuck was that?!" We looked up and saw Daniel's District partner, she looked at both clearly knowing what she just interrupted,
"Oh I see now." She pushes Daniel out of the way and sat next to me,
"I'm Celandine, I'm Daniel's best friend for quite some time like 10 years, I think." She looked at Daniel, who was clearly unamused by Celandine antics,
"Well, that means I know a lot about Daniel like the time I made him dress up like a girl and walk the streets of District Seven." I bursted into laughter and so did Celandine, Daniel who was death staring her hissed,
"Celandine I think you should stop now." Celandine laughed and slapped her hand across his mouth,
"Don't worry it gets better, afterwards we went back to my place and convinced my sister that his name is actually Danielle." We fell down on the floor, laughing until our sides ache.
"Well it was lovely to meet you...?" she asked,
"Nova and it was lovely to meet you too." Celandine got up and whispered into Daniels ear,
"Don't ever mess with me again." She walked off and I was still giggling,
"Don't worry she is lying." Daniel informed me,
"Oh shut it Danielle."
