Xandra Venn District Three Female POV
"Xandra, get up. Today is the last day of training," says Vega softly."Fine," I growl. I am so tired of her treating us like children and saying how sorry she is that I am with my twin in the Games. I chose to be in the games. I just miss little Nova and I know I need to get back to her. I walk to the kitchen wearing already in my training clothes. Xamion hasn't emerged from his room yet. My stylist, Bacchus, is there but I ignore him. He also is apologetic about our being in the Games. Xamion finally emerges. I just feel bad for him. He is stuck in the Games with his twin sister, but he still needs to get out. As long as District 3 wins I will be happy. I grab a pile of bacon and put it on my plate. The protein and fat should help in the arena. Xamion just follows my lead as normal, but that's okay. We quickly scarf down our food because Vega is yelling at us to hurry. We jump in the elevator together and hit the button for the Training
Room. When the elevator arrives I see that we are the last people to arrive. Whatever.
"Today we having the swimming course and then a little bit of training and then the private sessions," says Marcellus almost cheerfully. He's probably just happy his job is over for the year. I line up between my brother and Triton. I have respect for the big guy. When the Careers get into the violent split up I am making sure he knows Xamion and I are on his side. I look ahead and notice that both the tributes of District One had finished fast and now Bajan is swimming fast enough as well. I'm an average swimmer, but should be able to beat most. I just hope Xamion can do well. The other Careers don't seem to like him much. He just dove into the water and is doggy paddling his way to the end. Slower than the other Careers but still relatively good. My turn. I jump into the water and start my almost perfect front crawl. I reach the end and pull myself up. I look at the board and see I'm the fastest so far. District 4 is next and they will obviously pull the highest score. The girls from 8 and 9 can't swim so they finish at the bottom. The boy from 11 finishes right after the Careers in 8th place. I need to watch him. I meet up with the Careers and we decide that we should perfect what we are doing in the private sessions. So I walk over to the throwing knife station and start throwing fatal hit after fatal hit on the motionless dummies. I finish at the edible plant station where the little girl from twelve is marking out plants and doing a pretty good job of it. I finish fast and almost get a perfect score.
Maria Flobit POV District 12 Female
"Everyone to the cafeteria. Have lunch and then we will begin calling in the tributes in District order male, then female," says Marcellus over the loud speaker. I walk over and scoop a big amount of potatoes on my plate. I love these things. I sit by myself. No one wants to ally with a twelve year old from District 12 of all places. I practiced my edible plant skills the whole time in training, except for a little bit when I practiced slashing with my knives. "Onyx Glow," says mechanical voice. I watched as the boy from One gives his partner a smile and then goes into the Training Centre. She turns away disgusted probably annoyed with his constant flirting like the majority of other District One males. I see the girl from 11 waiting around by herself so I sit beside her. "Hello," I say. She turns away, trying to ignore me. That's fine by me I really don't want an ally just someone to talk to. I sit around for another long period of time with my head laying on the table almost sleeping. I hear the girl beside me get up and leaves. Then I hear the name of my District partner's name being called and he gets up to leave. After about 20 minutes I finally hear my name called. I feel sorry for the girl from 13 she is last to go. The door slides open and I walk into the big empty room. "You may go when you wish," says the Head Gamemaker eying the turkey and chicken hungrily. They have more food then I have in a week sometimes. I walk over to the knife station and start running and slashing dummies at the same time. I slice most of them across the torso, but a couple I hit on the arm or the thighs. I look up at the Gamemakers expecting a commendation, but a few of them look a little tipsy. I walk over to the edible plant station and ace the test even the nightlock which I usually get wrong; mistaking them for blackberries. "You may be dismissed," says the Head Gamemaker. I walk out and the door slides open and I pass the boy from 13 on the way to the elevator. Alphis, Cole, and the pair of stylist are waiting for me. "How do you think you did Maria?" asks Alphis. "Fine, but the Gamemakers weren't paying attention," I answer. Alphis gives a little chuckle, "That tends to happen around District 8 or 9 Maria; It's fine." We all sit down on the couch and turn on the television. It was on the Hunger Games channel. We wait for Caesar to start announcing the scores.
