Chapter 14: The Train Ride

Acciala's POV

After my little spat with the guard, I felt much stronger. They didn't kill me when I deified them. They're cowards! They feed on the fear of people! They're not prepared to have the tables changed on them! They don't know and most likely don't want to know what happens when the bone turns! I thought.

"Hey!" Cole walked up to me and held my hand again. "Nice. I love and respect your fearlessness."

"Is fearlessness even a word?" Lloyd asked, jogging to walk ahead of me then walking backwards to face me. Lloyd soon backed right into the train side. "What does it even mean?"

"It means she isn't afraid to show whose boss." Cole unhanded me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "And, I think fearlessness is a word."

"Come on you two. Let's board the train." I ushered Lloyd and walked with Cole onto the train. Once we were on the train, Lloyd ran right to one of the spin chairs he sat on last time he went to the Central Snake. He started to spin around in it and laugh the whole time, causing me to smile.

"Look at me, Acciala! Look at me!" Lloyd continued to spin around and around.

"Come on now, Lloyd, you'll get dizzy!" I laughed. I walked over to him and lifted him out of the chair. He was much easier to lift last time! He grows so quickly! I thought as I put him in another chair and instructed him not to spin. I didn't need him ending up like Paula.

"I'm hungry!" Lloyd complained. "When's dinner?"

"I don't know. Where's Hannah?" I asked, looking around the train car.

"Right here. Just needed to make sure Paula didn't get left behind yet again. And dinner issss in a half hour, Lloyd." Hannah seemed exhausted. Most likely from dealing with Paula.

"And I'm right here. I will ensure that I'm not left behind." Paula looked over to Lloyd, who wasn't paying any attention to anyone. Lloyd was randomly swaying back and forth on his chair I placed him in. Lloyd then decided to sneak past me and get back in his original chair. "He's a sneaky one, he is." Paula pointed to Lloyd, who was smiling at his victory of sneaking behind me.

"I know he is. Thus the reason why I always hide the candies." We laughed at my joke. I remembered when he was looking for his secret stash of caramels, which I had found the night before.

~Flashback~

Lloyd had spent hours, almost the entire day, looking for the jar. I told his dad where it was, and we spent practically the whole day watching Lloyd look for his candy.

"Are you serious?" He asked.

"Yeah, I want to see if he'll find it." I told him.

By the end of the day, we were both regretting that we didn't have a video recorder to record this. Because, in truth, the jar was on the kitchen table, the contents were in a black bag, yet the jar was completely clear, not a smudge on the glass. Eventually, I don't know what Lloyd was doing, but he started jumping up and down in his room, right above the kitchen. His jumping eventually knocked over the jar, which quickly shattered on the tile floor. Lloyd ran down stairs to see what broke.

"What broke? My candy!" Lloyd forgot about the shattered jar and ran to his caramels spilled across the floor. Before the glass could hurt him, I grabbed him. "I want my candy!"

"I don't want you to get hurt! Lloyd, you have to watch for the glass." I told him. I reached down and picked up a caramel. "Here, now don't try hide anything anymore."

"Alright. I won't." Lloyd said before popping the candy in his mouth. We all laughed at his cute little behavior.

~End of Flashback~

I smiled at Lloyd. He always brought up the funniest memories imaginable. After dinner, we all watched the replay of the Reaping. When we saw the Reaped Water female fighter, Angie, I wondered why Teresa volunteered.

"Hey, Hannah." The Fangpyre turned her head to my direction.

"Yessss?"

"Why did Teresa volunteer for Angie?" Hannah sighed.

"Angie issss, well, in a way, mad. She can't focus. She would be knocked out on the first day." Hannah said. "She only won her Gamessss because she'sss very energetic. A common trait of the Lightning Quarters' residentsss."

"I see." I thought Angie had every right to be mad. I don't know why I never went mad after I won. All the nightmares and reminders of the Games. It drives me crazy sometimes.

"And then Creakle won by using a long wire to electrocute everyone else in the Landscape. The lightning fighters in hisss Gamessss were already gone." Hannah told us.

After we all went to our rooms, I couldn't sleep.

"Can't sleep?" Cole asked.

"No. Can you?" I asked.

"No. Is it all right if we watched previous Games? You know, just to know and be aware of what we're up against." Cole suggested.

"I don't know. I think its fine." I replied. We watched and gathered information on this year's fighters, what their fighting style and strategy was, and what their weakness was.

"Let the Games begin." Cole murmured as he put the first Game on.
