Hi guys, sorry it's been ages since I updated, I've been really busy with school and yucky stuff like that. And I didn't really have the motivation to write this chapter since I found it quite boring... So I'm sorry that this chapter isn't very good and that it took ages...

I have a very important announcement to make. I will be going away for about three weeks later this week so there won't be anymore update for three weeks...sorry. But enjoy this chapter! And please review, I've been getting a lot less review lately...

Private Training Sessions

Seneca Crane

"District 1. Tatum Royale," the voice said. I sat up in my chair, waiting for the girl to come in. The first fee tributes were always quite interesting as they were Careers.

A tall girl walked in, she had curly brown hair that she had pulled back into a ponytail. "Hello, my name is Tatum from District 1," the girl announced.

I watched as she confidentially walked over to knife-throwing station. This girl was definantely a career. She readied one of her knives and threw it with a lot of force at the target. It hit the target exactly in the centre.

"She's pretty good," Malvin, one of my colleagues whispered to me. I nodded my head and agreed.

Tatum threw a few more knives before she finished. She smiled at us and walked out. "Well, what do you think we should give her?" I asked.

"I think a nine," Neana said.

"No, no, definitely a ten," Malvin argued. "She was very good." A squabble started up about whether we should give her a nine or a ten.

"Silence!" I said, everyone fell quiet. "I think that we should give her a ten, now, no more fighting and let's get the next person in."

The next tribute was Iris Royale, Tatum's sister, they looked very similar, both with the same curly brown hair. But she looked a little older, she walked over to a rack of swords, she picked one up and began to slash at the dummies.

"She's good too," Malvin commented. I agreed, she was whirling the sword and slashing dummies. She deserved a ten as well.

"Schist Welsh is up next, send him in," Yuri, a Gamemaker said.

A tall, sullen-looking boy walked in, he was Schist from District 2. He walked over to the back of the room. I craned my neck to see what he was doing. He emerged not long after, carrying a pickaxe.

"That's an interesting choice of weapon," Neana said. He swung it at a nearby dummy, he was very good. It was obvious that he had been using that weapon for many years.

"He's good as well, but maybe not quite as good as the others, I think an eight or nine, maybe a nine?" Malvin suggested. I scribbled down on my sheet of paper.

"Next!" I called out.

The next person was a boy who looked quite a bit like Schist, except younger. He was Jove Schist, the fifteen year-old from District 2. His choice of weapon was a spear.

His first spear hit the target, but quite far from bullseye. His second was closer and his third closer again. He was quite average, not what I was expecting from a Career. But he wasn't too bad. I thought he deserved about a six.

The next person was Chert Schist, another boy from District 2. He was a lot younger though, only about thirteen. But he was about as tall as Jove. He smirked at us and walked over to the the row of punching bags against a wall.

With a focused expression on his face he began punching the bag, he was very strong and focused. He pounded the bag. I knew if that was a tribute, they wouldn't stand a chance, then he walked over to the spears and began throwing. He wasn't very good with spears, but since he was strong I wrote down a number.

"District 2. Slate Welsh!" The voice called out. A scrawny twelve year-old boy walked in.

Like his older brother Schist, Slate walked over and picked up a pickaxe. But he wasn't as old or strong as Schist, so I doubted he'd be as good.

"What? Is using pickaxes a family tradition or something?" Yuri asked.

With a look of concentration to rival Chert's, Slate lifted up the heavy pickaxe and brought it down on the dummy. It sunk right through it.

"He's not too bad," one of the Gamemakers, Janilla, commented.

"No no. He wouldn't be able to get that close to someone in the arena without getting killed and that is to heavy for him, look how slow he is! I think he only deserves a three," Neana said. I had to agree with her so I scribbled a three down on my sheet.

The next person was the last member of the Welsh family, the only girl Konnabeth Welsh, she looked to be about sixteen. She walked to the back of the room, to the station we called the 'Unusual Weapons' or the one's no one really used.

She returned with a weapons called a Swallow, it was quite uncommon and I didn't remember any tributes using it while I'd been Gamemaker. It was a long stick with knife points at each end. She stepped towards a dummy and began thrashing it with her weapon. She was quite good, so I made notes on my paper.

"Okay, so next is District 3! First we have Nate Rivers," I said, reading my sheet.

The tall boy walked in, looking a bit bored. He nodded to us and walked over to the brain testing game, which tested your IQ. Not many tributes used it, they usually focused on weapons, so it should be interesting.

The program started and he began answering the questions on the screen, he eventually finished and a score flashed up on the screen. It was very high, he seemed very smart. I scribbled down a score on the paper.

The next tribute was Caz Rivers, the thirteen year-old walked over to the traps station. But instead of using the usual ropes that most people used, he connected wires together over the ropes to create and electrical trap. The other Gamemakers looked quite impressed.

As Caz was putting the finishing touches on it, one of the wires snapped, then another. His trap had broken, he sighed with frustration but his time was up. It was a good idea but just didn't work very well. I scribbled down his score.

A little boy walked into the room, one of the youngest tributes in the games, he looked confused and began walking around the room.

"Should we explain to him what we have to do?" Janilla asked.

"Yeah probably, I will," Neane replied. She spoke into her microphone. "Hey Neo, would you mind showing us what you're good at?"

Neo looked around, obviously confused at where the voice was coming from, but he nodded and walked over to the plants station.

"That's a good plant," he said, pointing towards a dandelion. He began pointing to the to their plants, saying if they were good or bad. He was quite impressive for a five year-old. When he finished he smiled and ran to the weapons stand, but he knocked all the weapons off and began laughing before he ran out.

"Well that was certainly interesting, I think he deserves a two, he was pretty good with the plants," Malvin said, we all agreed and scribbled down the score.

Next in was Luna Rivers, one of the oldest tributes in the games, she was very pretty. She walked over to the knives station and picked up an array of knives. Then she began throwing them at the targets. She was surprisingly good for a District 3 girl.

Once she had finished she returned the knives and smiled to us before walking out, we agreed on a score and wrote it down. An eight.

The final tribute from District 3 was Blue Rivers, she confidently walked in and walked over to the punching bags, unlike Chert she began using martial arts and kicked and punched the bag. She was quite good but not amazing. I wrote down her score.

"District 4. Phyllis Modula!" The voice called out.

Phyllis walked in, I had noticed she was one of the Careers so her performance could be quite good. She walked to the knives and selected a long one, them she began to slash at a nearby dummy. She was pretty good, maybe not quite as good at Tatum or Iris but still quite good.

"Thank-you," Phyllis said after she had finished before she walked out of the room.

Phyllis was the only tribute from District 4 so the next tribute was Grunner Ricottice from District 5. He walked in and went over to the memory game.

He began to play the game, but he wasn't amazing at it, and memory wouldn't really help you in the arena. I decided to give him a three.

Next was his twin sister Lena, she walked over to the ropes station and began to make a trap, she was pretty good and the trap was quite complex, she wasn't amazing but traps did help a lot in the arena. I remembered back to the 74th Games when the little girl from 11 got caught in a trap and died.

I scribbled down Lena's score. The next tribute was Joshua Pendle from District 6. He walked over to the knives station and picked up a knife.

I was quite surprised by that, I wasn't expecting a twelve year old to be able to throw knives, I was doubtful that they'd hit the target. But Joshua proved me wrong, he seemed to have pretty good aim. Sure he wasn't brilliant but he was better then I had expected. I gave him a five.

"District 6. Myra Pendle," the voice called out.

A girl with dark brown hair walked in, she was fourteen. She stood in front of us and we nodded, signalling for her to start.

She sprinted off to the back of the room and hid behind somewhere, I could see Yuri craning his head and trying to see where she had gone.

I saw a flash of her brown hair as she ran again, she was very fast, she hid behind somewhere again.

"I can so her," Neana muttered. And I could see the top of her ponytail poking out. I scribbled down her score.

"Next! District 7, Brandon Martinez."

Training Scores

Third Person POV

Caesar Flickerman readied himself to read out the Training Scores, he always enjoyed it. He glanced over at the piece of paper on his desk.

"You're on in ten!" The director called out. Caesar rushed to his desk as the cameramen count down. "One and go!" The director finally shouted.

"Hello Panem, and welcome to the announcing of the Training Scores! As you, know the tributes have been working very hard over the past few days to help develop their skills and now they will be rewarded!" Caesar said.

He looked down at his piece of paper. "Firstly we have District 1. And from District 1 we have Tatum Royale with a score of 10! And her sister Iris with a score of 10 as well!" He said. "And from District 2 we have Schist Welsh with a score of 9, Jove Welsh with a score of 6, Chert Welsh with a score of 7, Slate Welsh with a score of 3 and Konnabeth Welsh with a score of 7!" He continued.

Next was District 3, Caesar was surprised with some of their scores. "Now onto District. 3. We have Nate Rivers with a score of 5, Caz Rivers with a score of 4, Neo Rivers with a score of 2, Luna Rivers with a score of 8 and Blue Rivers with a score of 7," he said.

"From District 4 we have Phyllis Modula with a score of 8 and from District 5 we have Grunner Ricottice with a score of 3 and Lena Ricottice with a score of 6," Caesar continued.

"And from District 6 we have Joshua Pendle with a score of 5 and Myra Pendle with a score of 4. Now it's onto an ad break before we see the rest of the tributes scores," Caesar finished. The camera's turned off and he lent into his chair and sighed.

Jasmine stared at the television, it was almost time for her score to be revealed. "Hello and welcome back to the Training Scores! Let's get onto it, from District 7 we have Brandon Martinez with a score of 1, Jasmine Martinez with a score of 6 and Skylar Martinez with a score of 4," Caesar said.

Jasmine was happy with her score, she hadn't really been expecting something higher then that. She leant in to see what District 8's was.

Darius watched as his face appeared on the television. "From District 8 we have Darius Trevalayne with a score of 5, Beres Trevalayne with a score of 7 and Fenella Trevalayne with a score of 3," Caesar said.

Beres sat up, a smug look on her face, she was obviously very happy with her score. Darius didn't think his score was that bad either.

"And from District 9 we have Carissa Black with a score of 3, Trianna Black with a score of 4 and Maple Black with a score of 2," Caesar said.

Carissa sighed, she hadn't really been expecting anything higher with her wrist but she was still disappointed in her score. Trianna also looked disappointed.

"Let's go on to District 10. We have Mick Curtis with a score of 6, Joel Curtis with a score of 4, Angus Curtis with a score of 3, Teresa Curtis with a score of 5, Avalyn Curtis with a score of 5 and Erynne Curtis with a score of 3."

Mick was pleased with his score, sure getting a higher score would've been better but he was from an outer district and hadn't trained before. He thought his siblings had also done well for their ages.

"From District 11 we have Jai Plunks with a score of 7, Camilia Plunks with a score of 5 and Lory Plunks with a score of 2," Caesar continued.

Camilia was pretty happy with her score, though she was surprised at Jai's. How had he gotten such a high score? Was he hiding a secret talent or something? She also thought Lory's score was quite good for her age.

"Now to District 12. We have Milo McLellan with a score of 6, Klaus McLellan with a score of 4 and Jules McLellan with a score of 7!"

Milo was a bit disappointed with his score, he knew he could've done better, six was a very average score. But at least Jules had done well. Klaus hadn't really but Milo knew that he and Jules could protect him in the arena.

"And now its time for the District you have all been waiting for! District 13, are newcomers to the games!" Caesar announced. Even he had been shocked to learn that District 13 was still alive. "First we have Carlos Allerburg with a score of 7! Elannah Allerburg with a score of 6, Calia Allerburg with a score of 5 and Azia Allerburg with a score of 3! Well those scores were very good so congratulations to District 13!"

Carlos was happy with his score, seeing as most other tributes had gotten lower scores, he was fifteen so had already spent a couple of years training back in District 13 as everyone over the age of fourteen had to.

"Well there you have it, the Training Scores for this year! Tomorrow night, tune in and watch us interview the different families and live TV!" Caesar announced before the TV shut off.

So that was the Private Sessions, I was originally planning to do everyone's reaction and training session but I got bored so did half and half...sorry, but I hope you still liked it! I will be doing the next two chapters, the interviews, in two parts. So it will be District 1-6 and then Districts 7-13, so watch out for them in about three weeks!

1. Did you like the POV's?

2. Were you surprised by any training scores?

3. Expected victors?

4. Expected bloodbaths?

5. What interview are you most looking forward to?
