Alwin is holding my hand as we walk into the training room. We have both agreed that we should start choosing our alliance for in the arena. I am surprised when three muscular people come walking towards us. The female is leading them her hair is down to her waist a dark brown, with bangs and green eyes. As they get closer to us they start to smile. I feel someone beside me and I look to my right, Amy and two other people standing beside her. We smile at each other and I turn my attention back to the three people walking towards us. For some reason I'm nervous, I feel like this is something that can help me or make things harder on me.

"Hi, I'm Jazmine." She smiles at me, her eyes flicker to Alwin and she smiles wider. For some reason the way that she's looking at Alwin makes me want to rip her throat out. "We are from District One and we wanted to know if...you two would like to be in an alliance with us?"

I stare at her for a minute. "You are one of the Career Districts, aren't you with them? We have already started our own alliance and we aren't willing to break them. Sorry..."

"What?" She stares at me as though I'm insane. "What did you just say?"

"No. Thank. You." I say each word loudly and clearly. The expression on her face lets me know that I've made her furious. "Bye. Come on..."

We walk off and I know that I just made myself an enemy. But right now I couldn't care less and I feel like I made the right decision. After a few minutes we stop at the hand to hand combat station and I turn around. Now is when I remember that Amy has two people with her. I smile at them and wait for her to introduce us. The guy is taller than the other two, has dark hair and light blue eyes, the other one is a girl who has blonde curly hair and dark brown eyes. They both smile at me, a kind of mischievous and secret smile on the boys lips. Alwin's hand takes mine a second later and I smile.

"Oh, right...sorry." Amy says and she gestures to the taller guy. There is a smile on her lips as she looks back at me. "Acacia and Alwin, this is Hector and Breanne."

All of us say hi to each other and smile. Before I know it we are fighting the instructor and I smile as I pin her. The woman glares at me, she obviously chose me because I am the smallest and because she thought she could beat me. She tells me nice job and I let her up. I turn to the other side and see that Alwin is sitting on the male instructor. I hear the male instructor laugh lightly as Alwin gets up off of him.

"Congratulations." Alwin says to me and kisses me on the cheek. I smile at him and take his face in my hands, our lips meet for a second. "You did good."

"So did you." I smile at him as one of his arms wrap around my waist. "You were sitting on yours, I should have done that..."

He laughs lightly as we turn to watch the others. "Nah, you did better then I did. Maybe we should ask Ethan to join us..."

"What?" I turn to stare at him. He has to be kidding me after all of this! We both agreed not to let Ethan near us. "Didn't we talk about this before?"

"Ace, I know why you are saying that we shouldn't let him in our alliance and they are good reasons. But maybe we should let him." I shake my head in disbelief. Now Alwin's going to go soft on me? "Look at it this way, there will be more of us and it could help. We could work something out with him and I-"

"No. Never. Over my dead body." I growl at him and he just stares at me. There is no way that I'm going to let this happen. "Don't you understand what he's planning on doing? He wants to kill you-he wants to rip the two of us apart. If we let him into our alliance he will have many opportunities to do it."

The bell rings and we all walk into the lunch room. Three people walk over to us and I remember two of them as the victors from two years ago. District Ten-I think? I watch as they sit down at our table and I notice that one of the boys is twitching a little. But the girl takes my attention to her, this is when I notice that her eyes look clear, like glass kind of. Her hair is short and a light brown. Both of the guys have short brown hair and dark green eyes. None of them look alike, but I notice that they seem united.

"Hello, I'm Mary Anna." She smiles at me and I smile back. My eyes rest back on the boy who is twitching and she looks over at him. "This is James and Lenny, James is called Twitchy for a nickname. Do you want to be in an alliance with us?"

I look over at the rest of my alliance and they all give me the thumbs up. "Um, sure. This is the rest of our alliance. I'm Acacia, this is Alwin, Amy...and I'm sorry I don't remember the other two."

"It's okay." Amy smiles at me and just laughs. "This is Hector and Breanne."

The three of them sit down beside us and everyone just starts talking. It's nice to have an alliance, but its hard to have an alliance at the same time. You never know if they are going to turn against you and when they will. Last time in the arena I couldn't kill anyone in my alliance...well except for when one came back from the dead. So does that really count?

Alwin's hand takes mine and he puts my hand to his lips. We smile at each other and he kisses me once on the lips. Everyone keeps talking and right when the bell rings, we all head back to the training room. I pick up a knife and look over at Alwin, we wink at each other.

"Alwin...honey..." He walks over to me and I smile at him. "Will you help me again?"

He smiles at me and takes my hand in his. "Of course..."

We do the same as last time and once the knife is out of my hand, I turn to him. Our lips are together and I smile when we break apart. Yes, that helped me a lot...
