Heyy! Here are the session scores, I don't know if you'll all agree on me with them but oh well. It took some time to think of the scores that some of your tributes would get. Some might be too high in your opinion or too low. I don't know but let's hop into this chapter. It's more than just the training scores by the way. I can't do this crap where I have to wait another chapter just to start the games, fuck that lmao. So here is two chapters in one. :)

Janet Berinski (17) District 8 Female

''Janet honey!'' I hear from my room. It's my escort telling me to come watch the training scores. ''Honey! The training scores are up, come see how you and your ally did!''

I wipe my hair away from my face and close to television in my room. I take the blanket off of me and yawn as I get up and put on the slippers that the capitol left for us. I walk out looking as if I just woke up. My escort and Stabby are both staring at me. Stabby, of course, is licking his lips. That kid is a creep. God I hope he dies in the bloodbath. Someone push him off the pedestal or something. I don't care if they have to jump from pedestal to pedestal just to kill that psycho. JUST DO IT!

I can't help but feel very tired. I don't know why but the capitol beds are amazingly comfortable. It's as if I'm sleeping on a cloud and I just don't want to get up. I rub my eyes as the host sits down on his seat. Quite a handsome man with the last name of 'Flickerman' picks up a paper that I believe has the list of tributes and their scores.

''Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your 25th Annual Hunger Games Training Scores! I'm your host, Caesaren Flickerman. I know everyone here is excited to get into the training scores, lord sure knows that I am. Haha!''

He continues to ramble on about how excited he is to see us all duke it out in the arena. I begin to yawn and my escort puts her hand over my mouth. ''Hush child!'' She squeals. She shakes up and down in her chair and I role my eyes. I remove her hand from my lip and sigh. I walk into the kitchen to get a drink of orange juice and the first thing I see when I walk back in is Maeve.

''Maeve Alexis Saunders with the score of... an 8! Not bad... But not too good for a career.'' I can't see how she got an eight. The girl is deaf but she is good with a knife and first-aid. But she has a huge disadvantage. Does nobody else here realize that she's deaf? Her chances of surviving are slim.

She won't here when the timer runs out to run unless she pays attention and watches her surroundings and the holographic numbers. I don't see her making it far no matter how high her training score is.

''One of my person favorites, Vixen Rucker. Vixen got a score of.. a 10. Wow! Fabulous and excellent!'' I can see why Vixen got a 10. Although he didn't do much on the first day besides steal, he does have mad skills with a boomerang. I remember training day two, I couldn't keep my eyes off how well he was with that weapon.

I don't know why he chose it because it doesn't seem like something a career would choose, but I'm not going to question his skill. I gotta keep my eye on him, he could be a serious threat.

''Kitana Striker of district 2. I honestly know that she has been one of the gamemakers favorite tributes this year. I have no idea why, maybe it's her spunk or her ability to do well with her weapon but I'm not too interested. Her score was... An 11! Magnificent. Incredible. Simply amazing, it's been years since we've seen an 11.''

There wasn't a doubt in my mind that she could have gotten a 10 or above. I honestly didn't see her with a 12 but 11 was definitely correct. She's very skilled and definitely an opponent I have to watch out for. Seriously, I can't trust her, nobody here can. If she makes it up to the final 5 then she basically has the win in her hands.

I can't let her win. It just isn't optional. It's gonna be difficult to kill her in the bloodbath and it'll be even worse when she and her career alliance leave the cornucopia and stick together. That's going to be complete hell and misery for every other tribute.

''Mase Nary with a score of 10! The careers are on fire this year!'' I didn't see much of him in the first two days and I'm really curious to what he did. I don't feel as if he did anything that everyone would talk about because he just didn't seem like that type of tribute to be mentioned.

I feel as though he won't stick to the career alliance for long. He looks like an early career death to me. I just can't possibly imagine him making it far. He just.. He doesn't seem like it. I know that he has a plan but it will definitely back fire on him. He won't be able to execute it properly, I just have a gut feeling.

''Allius Louise Dane, this girl has been stuck in my mind ever since she came to the capitol. I haven't heard much of her and I feel as if she's hiding something from us. Allius with a score of... an 7! Not bad...''

I don't know much about her either but I know that she won't make it far. She's definitely not a bloodbath as she has that confident smirk to her. She just doesn't seem like someone who would let up easily but I just can't see her making it far.

''Gabe Kenton with a score of... A 4? Wait, wait, we have more news on Gabe. A video has just been sent of his private sessions and I have been asked to show it. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Gabe Kenton.''

''Uhhhh yeah! Suck it, suck it, suck it real good bitch yeah!'' What the hell is this? He's hacking at the dummies with his eyes closed. I can't picture this kid making it far. He's easily a bloodbath. I feel bad for his district. Someone this mentally challenged comes from district 3? I can't see anything good happening for him. He's going to die horribly.

''A favorite of mine, Trinity Belnot! Now before I read this, we have news that she is friends with a victor of our own, Harley, who won the games 6 years ago. I wonder what type of training they did together, maybe he's taught her a few things, ha ha! Trinity with a score of... A 10. Wow, the careers definitely have a great lineup this year.''

I don't know much about her. She's young and seems like she poses a threat. She has potential to win but I don't think she can. Once the career alliance splits, I can see her dying first or second. She won't stand a chance by herself.

''Marlin Rivers with a score of 9! Well, that isn't bad at all. Hah! I love the careers this year. They're all exceptionally talented!''

I've seen Marlin train. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed but he does have the street smarts. He's definitely a challenge. I don't know why they gave him a 9, he deserves much more. I can see him with an 11 but they saw him differently. The careers are down but what's to come next? The other tributes could be trouble, those who could be bloodbaths could turn out to be huge threats.

''Brea Cadwell with a 5.'' I'm not interested in her. She doesn't seem like a threat at all. She seems like the type of tribute to just get in the way. She did volunteer for her sister which was a huge mistake. She's not winning for sure, either a painful and slow death by mutts or she'll be jumped by multiple tributes.

''Declan Diarmuid with a 9 for his survival skills and decency with a weapon. Good job, Declan.'' The guy with a history of raping a girl got a 9. That's the only thing that sticks out to me whenever I hear his name. I remember overhearing him speak to himself about. ''I didn't, I didn't rape her.'' He continued saying to himself.

I kind of felt bad for the guy but it's none of my business so why should I care?

''Carty Ferrary with a score of 5!'' Well everyone's getting a higher score than Gabe, huh?'' Caeseran laughs and I roll my eyes. Stabby is poking himself with a pin that he found on the floor and I hope, I just hope that he pops a vein or something. Come on, shove it through your arm and die already!

''Alexander Rivers with an 8! Not bad for a district 6 tribute!'' I get quite hungry and press the buttons that bring down a meal for you. I choose meatloaf and mashed potatoes on the side and start to eat. I sit down on top of the couch and put my meal to the side.

''Ava Birch, the female from district 7 with a score of 8. Congratulations, Ava.'' Ava has potential but I really feel as though something bad will happen to her. I don't know why but I see her with a terrible death. It just doesn't seem right to me. She'll probably get one kill and then die terribly. I don't know what it is but I sense bad luck for her.

''Alan Swanson with a score of 10 for fierceness! The gamemakers have let us all know that they favor him in the arena. This might help him win, but hey, who knows? They could do the same with other tributes. We'll just have to wait and find out!''

''Ohhh, goodie!'' My escort squeals. She runs up and puts me in a tight bear hug and lifts me up! ''You're up next sweetheart! She gives me a wet kiss on the cheek and puts me down. I wipe my cheek with a napkin and look at her in disgust. Stabby stares at me and starts to laugh maniacally. He turns to our escort and asks, ''Where's my hug?''

She turns to him and says, ''Once you get a right thumb, then I'll think about touching you.'' He looks at her with hatred in his eyes as if he's going to grab my fork and stab it in her eye. He gets up and walks back into his room.

''Aren't you going to stay and watch?!'' She yells. He sticks his middle finger up and enters his room. We can hear the click of his television and he's watching the scores in there. Caeseran announces my name and then starts to speak about my score. He continues to talk about how he didn't expect this and I'm just asking for him to hurry up and tell it already.

''Janet, you got an 11 honey. Congratulations and may the odds be ever in your favor!'' This doesn't shock me too much but I didn't expect myself with an 11. I don't want to brag about it so I won't. My escort quickly runs up to me and gives me another kiss. I try to escape her grasp but I can't so I let it happen.

I role my eyes and finally yell. ''Please get off me! You're ripping my piercing!'' I lie to her. She apologizes and removes her grip. I sigh and walk off into the kitchen where I eat my meal on the counter where I can see the TV and not get smothered.

''Stabby Needle, what a name, with the score of a.. 0? That has never happened in Capitol history. We've never had a tribute with the score of a 0.''

This makes my escort gasp. I smile and start to chuckle silently. I don't care if he got a 0 or not because I know that he will be a monster in the arena. I don't know how many kills he'll get but I know that he will torture his victims. I feel bad for anyone he occurs him.

''Melisande Bylings with a score of a 7, congratulations.'' The girl who got slapped by her younger partner got a 7? I could see her with a 6 but definitely not a 7. I know that she's hated by a ton of tributes. She's treated multiple of them like crap. That bitch is lucky that she didn't try anything on me.

''And her partner, Saad Bindsy with a 7 an 8.'' I'm not too surprised. The little ones always have a big impact when they go into their private sessions. He's most likely a survivalist. I cannot see him using a weapon well.

''Athena Wolfshire of district 10 with a score of a 10!'' I didn't expect less from her. The way she beat Melisande's ass in the training room two days ago was a beauty. I couldn't help but snicker and put my hand over my lips. Athena is going to be a struggle in the arena. I know that she's gonna make it far, I just know it.

''Miles Brandt with a score of 9.'' I know that he's good with a whip but I don't see how he's going to kill anyone with it unless he repeatedly hits them with it in the same area. Maybe they'll get tired and drift off into sleep? I don't know but I fear he might be a challenge to compete against.

''A victors daughter, Lia Fidelio! Lia, honey, you got an 8.'' Sure, Lia's the daughter of Helene, a past victor. I remember watching Helene's games, she made it to the finals with her district partner. I studied her games a lot. She slept with her district partner those games and I believe that she used him to make it far. She killed him in cold blood and claimed her title as victor.

Lia's dad was killed by her mom. Wow. I remember watching the victor tour and her stomach had enlarged. I don't believe it was because of mass amounts of eating because I don't see someone gaining that much weight from binge eating.

''Jacoby Wilsons with a score of a 7.'' I never saw him pick up a weapon once during the days that we had for training. It really bothers me because I don't know if he's doing all of this on purpose or if it's seriously his lack of knowledge. I don't know but it really does bother me, I might have to keep my eye on him.

''A district 12 tribute, Astrid with the score of a 6. Not bad for a district 12 tribute, especially since both of them last year only got a 2.'' Astrid doesn't seem like much to me. I don't think that she has the heart to kill but she definitely has the will to survive.

Her partner on the other hand... ''David Tyler from district 12 with the score of 5. Congratulations, David!''

Those are the end of the scores. I yawn after finishing my meal and my escort says goodnight. I'm the last one in the living room and I shut off all the lights. I turn around after putting my dish in the sink and I see a shadow figure with yellow eyes staring at me.

I quickly grab a knife from the kitchen drawers and turn on the light. Of course it's Stabby! Dammit that kid needs to fuck off! I put the knife back and go into my room. I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth. I lay down and watch some more capitol TV. I watch past victories just to study how they all won and how I can add that to my game. My eyelids start to close and I fall asleep with the TV open. I'm ready for the games, I'm ready for the games, I'm ready... For... The... Games...

Caeseran Flickerman, Capitol Host

''LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Welcome to the tribute interviews! This is the last day the tributes have to prepare for until they go into the games and you guys know what happens then. They fight to the death until only one tribute makes it out alive! I'm your host Caeseran Flickerman and over there are this years tributes!''

''Find which one that you all love and sponsor them to make sure that they survive in the arena. I'm sure with your help that they will be able to win! They'll probably be able to fly by the other tributes easily with your help and bring home that victory! Enough of me talking, let's bring out your tributes. Up first is district 1's very own Vixen Rucker!''

The crowd cheers and roars with applause. He's definitely a fan-favorite. He pushes through the curtains and starts to cheer and punch the air. ''Duh duh duh.'' He makes noises. This riles up the capitol and they absolutely love him. He starts to show off his outfit by posing. I like what his stylist chose: A light blue dress shirt with a light brown blazer and a dark blue tie. They added a nice touch with the white pants and black shoes, one of my absolute favorites.

Vixen finally makes his way to sit down next to me after pleasing the crowd. ''Well, hello there Vixen!''

''HELLO CAPITOL!'' He rolls his tongue. They absolutely adore this kid. ''So, tell us Vixen. What are your plans for the games?''

''Well, Caeseran, if you all must know.'' He jokes. ''I'm going to stick with my career alliance. We'll destroy and defend the cornucopia. Anyone who marches into our territory will definitely get struck by one of us. Especially me, I won't hold back, not one bit. Everyone out there needs to watch out for me, I will win.''

I love this kid, hes cunning and appears to me as deadly. He definitely seems like a tribute who will be raining with sponsor gifts. I just hope he doesn't turn out to be the ones amazing with interviews but end up dying on the second day.

''Vixen, tell me. Is there a woman back at home waiting for you? Is there anything special waiting back home that you will absolutely run to once you finish with these games, I mean, if you win after all.''

''If I win? No, I will win. I will carry the capitol with all of my heart and kill these tributes one by one as I make my way to victory. Everyone will remember the name 'Vixen Rucker.' And for the special thing back at home. No, I don't think anyone is really waiting for me.''

''Isn't there a special girl?''

''Nope.''

''Are you sure?''

''Yeah, I'm sure. There is no special girl waiting for me back at home.''

I stay silent and the audience gasps into and seems disappointed. This might've ruined the boys chances of sponsors. I think that it's over until he speaks up.

''But when I win there will be!'' The capitol turns up. Everyone jumps out of their seats and applauds him. I can't help but smile. ''District 1's male tribute, Vixen Rucker everybody!''

''And also your 25th Victor! I'm gonna destroy the competition! The boy with the boomerang. I'll do it, I promise the capitol and district one that I'll do it. Nobody's getting in my way!''

He walks off stage and high fives his stylists and mentor. I can't help but smile at all of the fans this boy will receive. Moving on to his district partner, ''Maeve Alexis Saunders!'' The crowd claps but not as loud. I wonder if she can top off Vixen.

She walks to the stage wearing a pair of black slacks and a beautiful blouse. I can't help but admire the young lady. She sits down next to me with her legs crossed together.

''Maeve. How do you feel about your district partner, Vixen? Are there any feelings towards him.'' She looks at me and towards the capitol. You can see disgust in her face but it seems like an act. The silent but deadly type. She just shakes her head and this makes the capitol happy somehow!

Everybody starts to clap for her. She face-palms and shakes her head even more. This makes the capitol even more happy. ''You know who Maeve and Vixen remind me of guys?'' I ask to the capitol. ''Who!?'' They all shout in unison.

''Do you guys remember Cartier and Pia? The two from one in the first Annual Hunger Games?'' The capitol gives me a nod and tons of capitolites start to squeal. ''Remember how they pretended to hate each other at first and then became a couple? Poor Pia and Cartier, may their souls rest in peace. I feel as though Maeve and Vixen pretend to dislike each other and then we'll see a power couple, what do you think!?''

The capitol lets out a roar. I'm helping these tributes out so they should expect sponsors. I truly can't wait to see how they do in the arena. ''Maeve Alexis Saunders, everyone!'' I hold her hand and help her get up and show her on the way out. She gets pulled in by Vixen for a hug and he waves at me with a bright smile.

Oh that kid is good!

Next up is Kitana Striker. The female tribute from district two. She got a score of 11 so she must have something up her sleeve for the capitol today. She walks out crossing her legs every time that she takes a step and waves to the crowd. She blows kisses and bows for them. The first thing that I notice is her outfit. She has mass amounts of jewelry on her. Diamond rings on each finger, gold chains on her neck, and a silver bracelet to match her gray gunmetal heels. She wears a beautiful deep blue knee length dress that just makes her stand out.

''Kitana darling, how do you think you will do in the arena?'' I ask her. She gets closer to the mic and takes her time to answer. She begins to speak in a confident manner, ''Well Caeseran, I think that I will do well. I can see myself winning, after all I did get a score of 11.''

''You sure did! Was it surprising to you?'' She starts to play with her hair and blink multiple times. ''Well, I wouldn't say it was surprising because I did show the gamemakers a little bit of this and a little bit... Of that.'' She says as she lifts her skirt up slowly.

The capitol begins to clap. They stand up and whistle for her, they send roses flying after her and one lands on her lap. ''Oh you guys are amazing!'' She laughs. ''I think you all deserve a little treat.'' She says as she gets up and starts to spin around. She begins to slow down and lifts her dress all the way up showing her underwear. The crowd is totally satisfied by this and they all get up and start to cheer.

She quickly sits down and smiles at me while crossing her legs. ''The career alliance, have you guys come up with a plan?'' She nods her head rapidly and starts to speak, ''Oh Caeseran, of course we've come up with a plan! What type of careers would we be if we didn't? I would love to tell you but I can't. I don't want to spoil it for the capitol, after all, everything is supposed to be a surprise. Even the victor.'' She says amusingly.

I hold her hand and raise it high above her head. ''Kitana Striker, everyone!'' The audience claps as she walks to the other side of the stage along with the district 1 tributes. Up next is Mase Nary, her district partner. He walks out innocently and respectably. He has a different interview outfit, one that I've never seen before.

He wears a bronze chest plate and a hammer. Almost as if he's a super hero or something. Maybe it's Roman times since that's what district two seems to be based on. All of their tributes act like fierce warriors! ''Hello Mase!''

''Hey, what's up?'' He acts normal. ''Nothing really. How do you feel about your chances of winning this thing?''

''I feel confident. I have the skill and the talent to do so. Plus, I have some really amazing partners by my side in Kitana, Vixen, Maeve, Trinity, and Marlin.'' The capitol respects what he says and they applaud. I nod my head in respect at what he says also.

''Would you betray your partners?'' I ask abruptly. He looks at me in shock and clears his throat. ''Well, I wouldn't say betray. I mean, if the number of tributes are getting at a low then I'll definitely pack my things and leave when I have the chance. There's no way that I'm sticking around, but hopefully we don't meet each other again. I don't want to k- kill them...'' He smiles.

I know that he's lying but I can't say anything about it. I'm supposed to help him get sponsors. I smile and raise his hand up high. ''District 2's male tribute, Mase Nary!''

The capitol cheers and whistles for Mase. Up next is the female from district 3, Allius Louise Dane. The crowd smiles and cheers when I say her name. I realize that she wears almost the same thing as her chariot ride outfit. Her stylists have given her a bra with sleeves that has sparks flying out of it and she wears a short skirt that has lights flashing all around. She's quite revealing if I say so myself. It's a touched up version but still very revealing.

''So Allius, how do you think you'll do?'' She grabs the mic and smiles. ''I got this, it'll be a simple win. I don't see anyone here beating me.'' I smile at her confidence but she's very cocky. The capitol doesn't say much to this besides a few claps.

''Do you have any alliances?''

''I'm in with the careers!'' She shouts. ''With them, I'll easily win. I mean, they're good but not good enough.'' She says as she crosses her legs. Her skirt flows up and you can hear someone yell in the crowd, ''HOLY SHIT YOU CAN SEE HER VAJAYJAY!''

Everyone in the audience gasps. They start to cheer and she quickly puts her legs down. She removes the crossed position and the capitol finally gets that boost that they needed from her. ''Well...'' I say in the microphone. I knew that outfit would lead to her privates revealing. She smiles shyly but you can tell that she's embarrassed. ''All-'' She quickly grabs the microphone.

''If you'd like to see more of that, then you'd better help me win with those sponsors. I know that I can do it easily without them but the sponsors will definitely help.'' She says shyly. She quickly lifts her legs up and back down to get the crowd riled up even more. I can't believe it.

Props to her, I would never do that if I were a tribute. I've still got my dignity. ''Allius Louise Dane!'' I shout into the microphone. She gets up and bows for the crowd while speed walking to the other side of the stage.

Before I can even say anything, her district partner comes running in. He wears a silver suit and starts to hump the air. ''Suck it, suck it, suck it!'' He yells. The capitol stands in awe as the boy begins to dance up on stage. I grab his arm and tell him to calm down. He listens and smiles at me as he sits down.

''Gabe, that was quite the entrance.''

''I know.''

''Ok, well. How do you think that you'll do in these games?''

''Caeseran, listen, I have a ton of respect for you but are you really asking me that question? Isn't it simple that I'm going to be the next victor here? Nobody here can stand up to my level!''

''But, you got a 4 as your training score...''

''And I should care why...?''

''Ok, well how do you feel about your partner flashing the capitol and I like that?''

He looks at me with serious eyes but then it quickly disappears. ''I never got flashed by her, what's up with that? I deserve to be flashed but you know what? It doesn't matter. Once I win these games, I'll have all the girls that I want flashing me.''

The boy is very confident. I don't see him making it far. The capitol stays quiet as he stays up on stage and he tries to show off his silver suit. I can't help but chuckle and they throw a couple of roses at him. He begins to hump the air again and runs to the other side of the stage yelling, ''I'M YOUR NEXT VICTOR! SIMPLE AS THAT! NOBODY HERE CAN MATCH MY SKILL!''

I can't help but shake my head.

Up next is Trinity from district four. She starts to spin as she makes her entrance and blows kisses to the capitol. Many people reach up to catch them. The wears a light green knee length dress and she smiles brightly.

''What do you think about your partners?'' I ask her. She looks at me and tries to think it over. ''They're ok.'' She smiles. I become confused and ask if there is more to that. She decides not to answer the question fully and says, ''Yeah.''

I quickly change the subject and ask her if she believes that she can win. ''Easily.'' She replies. She says that it will be simple with all of the training that she's done. I applaud her for that honest answer. She smiles, gets up, and bows for the capitol. ''Tr-Trinity. Is there anything that you'd like to say?''

''Only one thing, don't be surprised when I bring district four back on the charts as Panem's best career district.'' She gets multiple cheers. I smile as I know that the girl has potential to win. She's over confident but she has the right to be.

Next up is Marlin from district four. He wears an amazing emerald tie with a black suit. The emerald tie really stands out in my opinion. He gets multiple cheers when he walks and sits down. ''Marlin, how do you feel about the games and your chances?''

''I think that I'm capable of winning. I have the streets smarts and the knowledge of how to use a weapon properly. I've got multiple other skills but I don't want to brag.'' The capitol laughs and cheers as he's being honest. He seems very likeable and someone to be able to win. After all, the careers always are.

''Do you have anything that you'd like to say?''

''No not really besides the fact that I'm gonna do my best to win and bring district four the honor and victory that they so deserve. It's been a while since we've won but we can easily do it again. After all, we are the under-looked career district who always turn out to shock Panem.''

He brings a joy to my heart as well as the capitols. We all smile and cheer for the young man. He has definitely shown us his attitude and his honesty. I know that the kid will make it far. There's no doubt in my mind that he can win this thing.

Brea Cadwell of district 5 walks out next. She wears a lovely short red dress with the same color high heels. She seems to be having trouble walking so I offer her a hand. She politely accepts it and we sit down.

''Brea! How are you doing?''

''Terrible,'' She says. I look in shock and ask her why. She doesn't believe that she has the chance in the games. I don't blame her, that score that she got was awful but she should still have some confidence no matter what others believe.

''Come on, you can win this,'' I tell her.

''No I can't! There's no way in hell that I'm going to win. I'm dead, a bloodbath, I'm done. Nobody's going to send sponsors for me and nobody's going to ally with me. If they did then maybe I could have a chance but I don't!''

This utterly shocks the capitol and I. The capitolites begin to shake their heads in anger. They start to boo Brea as she tries to tell everyone that she isn't kidding. This isn't a funny joke, we expect to see the best in our tributes. She starts crying and tells everyone that she's done. She runs to the other side of the stage and I'm in shock.

I sit in shock for about five minutes before her partner walks out introducing himself. ''Declan Diarmuid here!'' He shouts and that slips me out of my trance. I smile and offer him a seat. I notice his classy outfit. A light tan blazer with slacks and a hankie inside of the blazer. He wears light brown dress shoes that are the same color as his belt and a blue checkered flannel.

Absolutely stunning, he doesn't have to say much to get liked by the capitol. Everyone applauds the way he's dressed. His stylists deserve a reward for this amazing outfit. Where can I get something like that?

''Declan, that outfit is fabulous!''

''Why thank you!'' He smiles. ''My stylists did a great job, didn't they?''

The crowds cheer and whistles for him. They absolutely agree and so do I. I can't help but really stare him down. I don't mean to be awkward but I can't help myself. ''Eyes up here, Caeseran!'' He jokes and this makes the capitol laugh. I begin to laugh as well. What a charmer this kid is!

''How have you been doing ever since you arrived at the capitol?''

''What do you mean?''

''How has it been ever since you know, the rumors? It's caught on quick to the capitol and we're all interested. Are they true? Did you rape that girl?''

He looks at me and sighs. I believe he tries to say this in the easiest way that he can put it. ''I was drunk, she was drunk, we had a one night stand and I thought of it as nothing more than that. I guess that she didn't.'' He sighs.

The capitol boos at him for what they believe to be is true. ''I'm sorry everyone, I didn't mean for it to happen but that's why I gotta get back home. I gotta prove to my district that I'm not like that and that I'm a good guy. I'm not a savage who goes out grabbing women and doing things to them.''

The capitol forgives Declan for what he has just said and they smile and cheer for him. He apologizes multiple times for the misunderstanding and bows for the capitol. They all cheer and he walks off to the other side of the stage.

''Up next, Carty Ferrary.''

The capitol claps but they soon stop at the sound of cars, horns, trains, and bikes. Carty walks quickly with her black dress. She flips her dress up and down showing her underwear and dances around for the capitol. She falls back onto the seat making sure to lift her leg up and put them crossed together.

''How you doing Carty?''

''I'm doing good, boo! How about you?'' She says grabbing my tie and reeling me in. ''Well, um, I'm fine, thank you.'' I smile and sit back in my cheer. ''Oh don't be so shy!'' She says rubbing my leg. This is something else...

''How do you feel about your chances of winning these games?''

''I don't know? How do you feel about your chances of having a great night?''

The crowd laughs and throws more roses at her than they have at any other tribute. ''Wh- What is your strategy for the games?''

''What is your strategy in bed?'' She laughs.

I quickly get up, hold her hand and yell her name in the microphone. The capitolites cheer and want an encore. I don't know if I want to give them one. I spin Carty around and let her off to the other side of the back stage where the other tributes who have finished are.

Her partner runs up after I say his name. He wears nothing but a plain gray tux. He fist pumps into the air and he winks at the capitolites in the front row. He takes a quick seat next to me and goes in for a high-five. I deliver one to him and he shouts, ''Yeah!''

''Alex, how do you feel your chances are of winning?''

''I don't know,'' He smiles. ''How do you guys think I will do?''

The capitolites cheer for him and he smirks at me. ''Does that answer your question?''

''It sure does!'' I smile. ''So tell me, do you have any allies?''

''Maybe I do, maybe I don't.'' He nods his head.

''Ok, well can you give us a hint to who they are?''

''Sorry but I can't let the cat out of the bag yet.''

''I understand, so how do you feel about the other tributes?''

''I look them all, there's nothing bad that I can say about them. If we didn't have to battle to the death, I would like to be friends with most of them.''

''Well aren't you friendly, your district 6 male, Alexander Rivers!'' I hold his hand up and he walks to the back of the stage confidently.

Ava Birch from district 7 walks up. She wears a dress that is made out of leaves with a brown belt and shoes made completely out of bark.

''Can I touch?'' I ask Ava.

''What?''

''Your shoes!'' I say.

''Oh, oh! Of course. She picks her leg up.''

''Completely made out of bark!'' I yell out to the capitol.

They all cheer and laugh as I knock on it. You can here how hollow they are. I ask Ava how she thinks she'll do during the games and she tells me that she's not telling. She's that type of tribute. The ones who are reserved to themselves and are shy.

''Come on, you can tell us, can't you?''

''N- No I- I can't...'' She turns away.

I don't see much to do here since she won't tell me anything. I smile at her and raise her hand up. ''Ava Birch, everybody!'' She smiles at scurries off to the back of the stage. I announce her partner, Alan, who is wearing a pure white tux. He walks out looking charming.

''Alan, you got a really high training score. How did you do it?''

''Well, I beat a peacekeeper up.'' He says jokingly. The crowds start to laugh as so do I. ''Did you really?'' I ask.

''Yeah, I beat that ass,'' I crack up laughing and the capitol does as well. ''How do you feel about your chances of winning?''

''I dunno, I think they're alright but I don't want to be overconfident.'' He says.

''Oh please! Someone like yourself with such a high training score. I think that you've got this in the bag. Right?!''

The capitol applauds Alan and he puts on a large smile. ''How charming.'' He gets up and it's time to move onto the next tribute, Janet. Alan smiles and I show him his way to the back of the stage. The capitolites cheer as he leaves and they chant his name.

''Janet!'' I smile. She sits down in her black ruffled dress. ''How are you doing?''

''I'm doing great, Caeseran, how are you?''

''Fine, myself.''

''Janet, so you got a score of 11. How did you do it?''

''By showing my skills.'' She smiles with her eyes closed. I let out a long laugh. I love it when tributes are able to make me smile! I have no doubt in my mind that she can pull off the victory. She has the attitude and the skill of a victor.

''How do you fair with your district partner?'' She looks up with her eyes wide open. ''I hate that guy, he's such a creep. I'm serious, he stared at me while I was eating last night and tried to hide in the dark.''

Oh my goodness that cracked me up, the capitol enjoyed her comment and started to laugh. What is up with all these funny tributes? Every time a new one is introduced, they make the capitolites and I laugh. I can't help it, I need a break. My stomach hurts from laughing so much.

''District 8's female tribute for this years Hunger Games, Janet Berinski!'' She raises her hand up and walks to the back of the stage where she meets her stylist. Her partner, Stabby, walks out before his name is called and sits down. Once he sits down, the laughs stop and we all stare at his outfit. A vest spattered with blood.

''St- Stabby? What is that on your shirt, is that blood?''

''Yes, that is an interesting question. There are many ways to kill.''

''What? I didn't ask you th-''

''You can decapitate a tribute, stab a tribute through the neck, stab a tribute through the brain, stab a tribute through the heart, suffocate them, check them, drown them, repeatedly smash their heads on a hard surface, pinch their nose and hold their mouths shut, kill them in their sleep, poison them, push them off a tree and have them land head first, snap their necks, skin them alive until they finally can't take it anymore, shove a stick up their ass and have it reach their limbs, cut their limbs off and shove it down their own throats, stomp on their necks repeatedly so that they can't breath...

Two more minutes of Stabby's ways of killing.

Throw a knife at their brain, shove a stick in their ear and out the other one, throw a bladed-''

''OKAY! Oh my goodness, Stabby your time is up. Please, remove yourself from the premises.'' He gets up and follows me with his eyes as he continues walking forward. He bumps into a wall and holds his nose. He finally turns around and Melisande Bylings walks out.

She walks out wearing a long tan grain colored dress with silver high heels. She sits down calmly and smiles. ''What are your questions?'' She asks.

''W- Well, do you think that you have a chance at winning?''

''NO! Not one bit because I don't have a chance like everyone else.'' She says sarcastically. That little... I force a smile and look at her. ''What are your strategies?''

''I'm going to crush my competition.'' She says clutching her fists. ''I'm going to destroy every single other tribute in this competition. They won't know what hit them. Neither will that so called partner of mine, Saad.''

''I notice that you wipe your eyes a lot. Do you have pink-eye or something?''

''No! I don't have pink-eye, I scratch my eyes because I want to.'' Oh that's it. This little bitch needs to get off of my stage.

''Melisande Bylings!'' I yell into the mic. I push her to the back of the stage and sigh as I sit back down in my chair. Her district partner, Saad, walks out and I smile. I hope he's nothing like her. He's wearing a suit or dress made of vegetables... I can't really tell which it is. I think it's a dress though, it seems like one.

''Saad, we all heard about your confrontation with Stabby. Is there anything you'd like to tell us?''

''No, I got scratched in the eye but it doesn't mean much to me. It didn't hurt, I took the pain like a man and put it aside me.''

A stoic huh? Haha, I like this kids style. You can tell that it hurt when he had gotten scratched but he doesn't want to show it. ''Didn't you feel anything at all?''

''No,'' He says. ''I didn't feel a single thing because I'm not a coward. I know I'm not the best but I'm definitely not the worst. I can do this and I have a chance just like everybody else in these games.'' He stands up and raises his fist in confidence. I smile and show him his way to the back of the stage.

Athena Wolfshire in her blood red strapless dress walks out. She waves to the crowd and blows a couple of kisses. ''Hello capitol!'' She shouts out. The crowds all say good and she asks how they're all doing. ''Good!'' They all say in unison.

She sits down and she starts the conversation. She's such an outgoing girl. I haven't seen a tribute like her in a while. ''How you doin'?'' She asks. ''Great, how about yourself?''

''Amazing! You know, your outfit reminds me of district 10?''

''Oh really, and how is that so?''

''You've got the number 10 on your sui!''

''I have every number from 1-12 on my suit.''

''Yes, but 10 is the largest!''

The crowd starts to laugh as she makes small talk with me. Ha ha, I love this kid. She's definitely one of my favorites. I can't help but continue to smile and smirk at everything that she says. She starts saying multiple cow jokes.

''Why don't cows have any money? Because farmers milk them dry. What did mama cow say to baby cow? It's pasture bedtime. What do you get if you cross an angry sheep and a moody cow? An animal that's in a baaaaaaaaad moooooooood. What do you call a herd of cows masturbating? Beef strokin' off. Why did the cow cross the road? To get to the udder side!'' She cracks multiple of these jokes and I couldn't stop laughing.

She gets up, bows down to the capitol and I announce her name. She runs to the back of the stage where she hugs her mentor and her stylists. ''Killer job!'' I heard them say. Her partner, Miles, walks up to the stage and takes a seat.

He wears a classy deep plumb suit and he seems quite confident. We talk about his plans on the games and what he'd like to do if he won. He is a very quiet guy who seems confident. I ask if he has anyone waiting for him back at home but he says nothing. I feel bad, I feel as though something terrible happened to him. I announce his name and he walks to the back of the stage slowly and his mentor pulls him in for a hug.

The district 11 tributes interest me. Lia, the daughter of Helene was wearing a long black dress with slits on the sides. She tried hard to imitate her mothers interview angle but it really didn't work out. The capitol thought of it as funny instead of serious. Here partner, Jacoby, wears a dark free suite with a tie. He acts as a confident boy but he tries to put things off until later. The two interest me and I'm curious to as how they will cope together.

District 12's Astrid walks out. She wears a green flowering dress with a rosey headpiece. It reminds me of her train ride outfit. I love this girls personality, I think that she's a surviver. She acts like a cute and shy girl. I know that she's not though. She acts very cooperative towards the capitol and they absolutely loved her.

She skips to the back of the stage and her partner walks up. The last tribute of the night is David Tyler district 12's male tribute. He wears a white sports coat with a black shirt under it with pants. His style is very different but I'm not one to complain. ''I saw you talking to the careers, are you in an alliance with them.''

He just nods his head and smiles and starts to sweat. ''Are you ok? You don't need to be shy, there's no pressure here.'' He smiles and starts to laugh. I ask if he's in an alliance with Astrid and he shakes his head. I begin to ask him another question, how he feels about his district choosing him to volunteer for the games. He looks up at me with wide open eyes. The only things he says are, ''That's just something I would call District Betrayal.'' Wow that's deep. ''David Tyler everybody!'' The crowd shows weak applause towards the kid and he runs to the back of the stage. He walks up to his escort and they start to talk.

''Those are your tributes for the twenty-fifth Annual Hunger Games! I hope that you all enjoyed these tributes, I know that I sure did. Don't forget to send in your sponsors once the games start. It will help the tributes that you love have a better chance of winning. Until next time, I'm your host, Caeseran Flickerman! GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!''

The roars of the capitolites echo throughout the city. You can hear everyone. Inside a house, outside a house, inside a building, etc. The capitol loves these tributes. I wave my hands at the crowds and flowers and roses are thrown at me. I can't wait to see the games tomorrow. These games will be spoken about for ages.

Agh! This chapter took the whole day to write. I'm so worn out but it's worth it. At least I can bring you guys something. Hope that you all liked it, I don't have much to say except that you should expect one more chapter and then the games will officially start. The last chapter is all of your tributes talking to each other, threatening each other, and telling each other their best moments in the capitol and stuff like that. Anyway, here are the questions!
