AN. THERE IS NOW A POLL ON MY PROFILE SO YOU CAN VOTE FOR FIVE TRIBUTES! Please check it out.
Day two.
Glace Debay's POV
Tanita and I head to learn some survival skills, but I'm not really paying attention, which is not like me at all. Tanita is kind of moody and snappy, but I can tell we're going to be friends. I really, really like her. We talk for awhile.
Eventually, we part ways when we actually have to start training. Okay Glace, back into the game. You got yourself into this, and now you need to get yourself out. I start to fight with daggers and poisons. The girl from 11, Nyssa, looks at me in awe. I give her a cheerful smile and turn back. Nope, can't kill her. I'll kill the rest of them. I have to. Well, not Tanita either.
My district partner comes up next to me and doesn't say a word. He has an understanding twinkle in his eye. I brush the feeling and keep training. I need to train. And I can train out in the open, now. I don't need to hide it. Now that I'm actually in the games, father would want me to train...or I hope, at least. Wow, all the tributes are so young this year. How can I kill all these children? Aiden...Hector...Colleen...Nyssa...Lainee...Hadley...so many! I close my eyes. Not the time, Glace, not the time. I clap my hands together and I go to the plant section. I need as much training as possible, even though I've had plenty in my life. But if I want to win, I need to get up and take care of myself, no one else is. It's an arena, I need to be smart. I am smart, I know who I am, and I know that I'm strong and I can't give up now. It's my fault I'm in the mess anyway.
Hadley Azaly POV
Well, back away punks. This girl is in the house. Oh my gosh, yesterday was so boring, I barely got to any training. I just need to fit in with the careers, I so clearly am one. I mean, it'd be so cool! And also, the voices say I have too or I'll die most painfully and I'll be forgotten by all, so I just have to go with it. You know, I'm not sure about my district partner. He seems nice enough, but I don't think he's a career. I think I'll probably have to kill him. Well, just one more to check off my list.
Sadly, he reminds me of Demitri. He just has that hint of kindness and a dash of sarcasm. He might be hard to kill, but he's a tribute, and I know he knows he's going to die. I head over to the bow and arrow section and start to shoot. I notice Lulu Polar in the corner of my eye. Well, I do kinda feel bad for her too, with the whole morphine thing, but I'm pretty sure she and Colleen are already allies, so I don't have anything to worry about. I take a deep breath in and look away. Eyes on the prize. I need to win. I need to be awesome and live in the victors village. I need it. And the only way to get it is to kill all these looser's. I shut my eyes. Eyes on the prize. You could win everything you ever wanted.
Zanther Grimms POV
My hands quiver. I miss Mizuki so much. What did I get myself into? I think Elizabeth and I have an alliance, but I can never tell with that girl. She's hard to read. Sometimes, at night, when I can't sleep, I can hear her moving around in her room, talking to herself. She talks about her family - her mom to be precise. She talks about what she'd say to her if she wins. She seems smart. I like her. She tends to smile a lot, and I enjoy training with her. She makes things more fun and amusing.
I train with a few weapons and try to get some conversation here and there and whenever people will talk to me. I've talked to Nox. We don't have very much in common, but maybe we could be allies. He seems a bit to occupied with helping out this kid, Madeleine. Well, I'd be doing the same if Mizuki were here. I'm glad she isn't, though sad about Elizabeth. Well, it's my fault I'm here anyway, so I should stop complaining. I do some hand to hand combat, then head for lunch.
Aiden Manika POV
I miss my sister. How is she holding up? I mean, that's probably what everyone's thinking, but...my sister has mental illness and she already lost Marigold. If I die...I just can't imagine what would happen. She might even die. I can't let that happen!
I head over to the archery section. A boy, Hector Nelson, jogs over to me. Hector lost a sister in the games, I'm pretty sure.
"Hey" Hector says.
"Hi" I say. I become angry. No. District two killed Marigold.
"I was wondering...do you have an alliance?" Hector asks.
"No, and neither do you. Leave now. You killed my cousin" I say.
"Me?!" Hector asks.
"District two" I say.
"District one killed my sister" Hector says.
"But if I was from district one, you'd never consider having an alliance with me" I say.
"Okay, fine. You win. I guess I'll just...get another one" Hector says. He walks away slowly. Well, maybe he won't be the first I kill, maybe his district partner.
Colleen Reyna POV,
I don't know what to do. I miss my family. My brothers and my sister. There is nothing I can think of doing but train and train and train. I've trained with a knife and a spear so far, I spent most of yesterday using a net to impress some of the capital people. It's important! But so is learning survival skills and working with weapons you don't know how to use, and that's what today is for. My brother is right, I have to win. For my district, and for me. For me to prove something to my dad. I don't know why it's so important to me, but I need to show something to my dad. I wonder is a picture of Dusty still hangs over my bed? I wonder if he has seen it yet. I enjoyed drawing him, he has a very complected face. I wonder how Emilia is holding up, being the only girl who is still a child? She probably is still being the boss, because she is. Austin and Dusty would probably never admit it, but I know they know that they think Emilia is the boss of the house. I am still getting over volunteering for her. Why did I do it? I mean, I love her, but I don't want my life to end so quickly. There are so many things I still want to do. So many places I want to see. I wanted to join a theater if there ever was one. I just want to be home. I'd rather be living with my father than being here. I sigh. No time for that. Lulu walks up to me.
"Hey" she says.
"Hi" I smile. I feel terrible for her, she is so upset a lot. Poor girl, a morphine addict in the arena? Well, I'll try to let her last a few days. Hopefully longer. Lulu and I head to the Bow and arrows section, where Lulu trains and I watch, while I try to take in what I can. I need to train, and I need to win.
Saun Razan POV
Sharp! Sharp, very sharp. My sister would be so proud of me if I use sharp things! It feels so awesome in my hand and the blade is so sharp! Oh look! Tanita! I run over to her.
"Look! Look how sharp it is!" I cry, happily. Why does she looked surprised? Why is she scared? "Tanita! Look, look, look! It's so sharp! Touch it!" Tanita steps away. Why is she doing that?! "Just touch it!" Tanita puts out her hand. Yes, yes, yes! Yay! She touched it!
"Umm...shiny...?" Tanita says.
"Yes, yes, very shiny!" I say, smiling.
"Okay, I'm going now" Tanita says, scrunching up her nose. Why is she leaving? Oh well, I have my knives. Oh look! Another shiny thing! Why is a person taking it?! Why?! I run over.
"Hey! That's my shiny thing!" I scream. She backs away. I don't like her. District one.
"It's not just yours!" She says.
"Yes it is!" I say. Why is she being so mean? I push her. She lands on her butt, hard. She cries out. She deserved it! Tanita runs over.
"Are you crazy?!" She screams. "Are you okay, Glace?"
"I'm fine! But your district partner is going down in the arena!" Glace yells. Tanita helps her up and they move away. Why is she helping her?!
Sisco POV
All these kids will be killed! Oh yes, oh yes. I don't know why they're trying! I mean, my district partner will be so easy to kill, she is just so puny! I mean, she is like...thirteen or whatever! And Sisco is a much better name than "Nyssa," what kind of idiot would vote for her? Well, try as she will, but she won't even last the blood bath. Wanna know how I know this? I'll be the one killing her.
Nox POV
"No Lainee, try it like this" I say. I'm trying to teach her how to tie knots big enough to hold her.
"It's not working! I'm not good at this!" Lainee cries. She has been having a panic attack ever since she got to the capital.
"Yes you can, try it one more time!" I say. Lainee closes her eyes and sighs, trying it again.
"I did it, Nox!" She says. I hug her.
"Good job, you'll be able to sleep!" I say. Lainee gives a proud smirk and takes a heavy breath. She's had a big day. The Avox went insane and tried to kill her, and ever since then she's been watching her back. Lainee pushes her hair out of her face and stands up.
"Alright, let's learn how to build a fire" Lainee says. I nod and Lainee leads me off. She is a little spoiled, but I want to help her. I want to make sure she wins.
AN. Okay, next up is INTERVIEWS!
