Kat Sevian POV

(District 2 Female)

"Leave me alone!" I scream as my mentor pounds his huge fist on my door.

It is seven in the morning and I am not looking forward to getting up and show off my skills for the other tributes... it was pretty obvious I was going to get in good with the other Careers, especially Lavender since our crazy mentor, Chester, was forcing us to stick together. Chester is about nineteen years-old, since he became victor last years games at the age of eighteen, he had the highest kill streak taking out more than nine of the other tributes, which really didn't surprise me because he is violent and sometimes insane. He is tall, extremely muscular with dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes... if it weren't for his attitude he would be attractive all around.

"Kat! Wake your lazy ass up, right now or so help me I will barge down this door!" He shouts at me again... he treats me like a child and then treats Lavender like a princess only because she is more attractive, but I really don't care.

"I'm coming now chill the fuck out!" I scream back to him as I pull the comforter off of my body and over to the side of my bed.

I hop down to the floor and shuffle my feet over to the bathroom. I look into the mirror and I look like a total mess, "ew" I say to myself. I grab the brush sitting on the side of the faucet and quickly brush it thoroughly through my long, blonde hair. After brushing it all out I pick up the hair tie and hold it with my teeth as I slick my hair into a ponytail, I grip the base with my left hand and grab the hair tie from my teeth, I then wrap it around my ponytail and it hold in place. I finish freshening up while occasionally being interrupted by my mentor telling me how I'm gonna be late and hold everyone else up.

I walk out of the bathroom and grab the only other outfit sitting in the wardrobe across from my bed. The outfit was made out of a stretchy fabric that was also tight fitting, it has the number two in big font on the sleeves and back along with my name... it really suited me nicely.

After slipping into the shoes picked out for the outfit I walk out of my room and lock the door. I look up and come face to face with Lavender, a smile is formed across her face.

"Hey there, partner" she says happily

"What do you want?" I ask her forcefully... I didn't mean to sound rude because she has been nothing but sweet, but she is here at the wrong time.

She leans against the wall and a smirk replaces her bright smile, she holds her left hand up against her chest and raises an eyebrow, "wooow" she begins, her voice sounding like she was surprised but it was more of a fake surprised than an actual surprised tone, "did you forget to take your Morphling this morning?" she says cheerfully with a smile but I know it isn't a joke... she could be a Grade A bitch at times and this was one of them... she is witty when it comes to insults, she raises an eye brow as she rubs her fingertips along her collarbone.

She pushes herself up from leaning against the wall and twirls around, "come on, Kat, we need to get down to the training center" she says already strutting down the hallway. I sigh and follow her to the elevator.

Sonic Dekkerman POV

(District 9 Male)

I watch as the girls from District Two walk over to fill the last remaining spots in the semi circle around the head trainer, 'finally they're here' I think to myself.

"You're late" The head trainer says sternly to the girls, Lavender and Kat.

"Yeah, we know" Lavender responds happily as she brushes her hand through her hair with a smile on her face. The other girl, Kat, just looks at the trainer angrily for pointing it out.

The head trainer quickly introduces herself, "Hello everybody and welcome to The Capitol, my name is Atala and I am the head trainer" she begins.

Atala clears her throat before beginning her speech, "In two weeks, 23 of you will be dead. One of you will be alive. Who that is depends on how well you pay attention over the next few days, particularly to what I'm about to say. First, no fighting with the other tributes. You'll have plenty of time for that in the Arena. There are four compulsory exercises, and then then rest will be individual training. My advice is don't ignore the survival skills. Everybody wants to grab a sword, but most of you will die from natural causes. 10% from infection, 20% from dehydration. Exposure can kill as easily as a knife."

After going on and on about the different stations and such she finally decides to dismiss us to work on what we want. I immediately go for the sword fighting station, there is currently no line at it since everyone is mostly at the knife and ax throwing station or the bow and arrows... this will give me a lot of time to practice.

I pick out a sword hanging from the rack and grab a shield that is hanging next to it. I doubt there will be a shield in the arena, but hey if it's here might as well practice with it. I turn around to see the girl from District Twelve, Katarina, I believe her name is, coming towards me twirling machetes in both of her hands. She flashes me a smile... not a genuine, nice smile but a smile that says "come at me and I'll rip your fucking throat out." Anyways, she doesn't look the way a normal District Twelve tribute would, she looks like she belongs in a career District like One or Two, not only is it her appearance but the way she carries herself, with confidence, as well as the bloodthirsty and determined look in her eyes... maybe she'll go really far in these Games.

I take my focus off of her and back to the trainer at the station, I begin walking towards him but am quickly stopped in my tracks as Katarina cuts me off and asks him to practice with her. 'well damn' I think to myself while putting the sword and shield away. I scan the room for a different station to work at.

Vern Easterling POV

(District 4 Male)

I decapitate another dummy with one swift move of my trident, "this is too easy" I say aloud hoping someone hears me.

I scan the room to see what all the other tributes are capable of, to my expectations a lot of the younger ones aren't that good... they won't stand a chance in the arena. The only real threats from the outlying Districts seem to be that one girl, Katarina, from District Twelve. She is wielding machetes in both of her hands and swiftly decapitates and slices dummies in half. The other threats are the twins from Seven, who seem like they have a lot of experience with axes.

The rest of the careers are obviously vicious and extremely skilled with fighting, Wonder Peltier from One can throw a spear from more than a dozen meters away, while his District Partner, Jewelz Diamandis, can throw knives... she's only missed one target out of fifty and that miss would've seriously injured the target if it were a real tribute. Kat Sevian, from District Two, can chuck an ax from meters away... sort of impressive, meanwhile the other girl from Two, Lavender Florus, can throw knives with deadly accuracy and speed as well as fight with swords and machetes. My District partner, Nachtara Lockrose, can fight and throw a trident along with a spear from meters away.

I finish watching all the other tributes and turn back to my dummy. I manage to slice and throw my trident at some more before I am stopped by some of the Careers.

"Hey you!" Jewelz, from District One, shouts out as they approach me. I can see that all of them have joined the alliance, Wonder, Jewelz, Lavender, Kat and Nachatara.

I turn to her, "yeah?" I say lifting me head a bit.

"We want you to join the Career alliance, you up to it?" Wonder says getting straight to the point.

"Definitely" I say smirking and nodding my head

"Good" Lavender says with a smile, "let me introduce myself, I'm Lavender" she says happily... she seemed like she was always happy or excited... but after seeing her in the knife throwing and machete fighting stations I could tell she is going to be very bloodthirsty and sadistic in the arena. But I couldn't blame her... it was fun harming others.

The rest of the other career tributes introduce themselves, although I already know them, and then we break for lunch.

Review Questions and Author Note:

1. Favorite POV?

2. Favorite description of tribute in this chapter?

3. Top 3, 6, 9.. whatever tributes, so far?

4. If you were in The Hunger Games what District do you think you would be from and which weapon would you use?

So I feel like this chapter could have been a lot more well written, but I kind of suck at writing Public Training's, so sorry :c ALSO! I decided that I should just continue to update daily, BUT if I am unable to do so then the next update will be within a week from the previous update.. and I see some foreshadowing in this chapter and hints c;
