Jackren Fowl Beskt, 17, D12
I boarded the train with our escort Hazel and I was shown my room. I looked around it but had no interest in the place really. I didn't really fancy being alone. There is enough time for that in the arena.
I quickly change out of my clothes and head to the dining lounge room.
Hazel smiled at me. "Did you not wish to shower dear", she smiled at me. "No thank-you, I showered this morning", I replied taking a seat.
"You know, my processor told me all the district 12 tributes are filthy dirty, but I don't get that impression from you at all. Adam needed a wash mind", she said talking to me, but waffling away as if though certifying it to herself also.
"Most of district 12 is poor. I come from town, we make a steady living", I replied coldly, not liking the bad reputation district 12 quite clearly has been given.
Hazel blinked quite uncaring of what I just said and shrugged her shoulders.
Adam walked in, looking quite dapper. He had changed his clothes and combed his hair, and is clearly trying to make a good impression for when he arrives at the capitol. He must not realize it won't be until tomorrow.
Muriel walks in, and pours herself a drink.
"Ahhhhhhh", she gasps downing it in pratically one.
She then looked at us.
"District 12 tributes", she said bluntly. "I am Muriel Glades. Nice to meet you".
We both greet her.
"Muriel", Adam spoke trying obviously to get more out of her. "I am not a huge fan of the games, well nobody is, but me more, I don't really watch them. I prefer not to root for any of our tributes, I don't see the point. What I am trying to say is… how did you win your games".
She looked at Adam. "I survived", she barked. But if you want to see the long story, I would suggest the index on your television screen. Has the re-runs of all the games".
"Please don't have it in your head that I will help you get out of that arena. There is only so much I can do. It is up to you to get the capitol to like you, once you have done that you have a better shot. Not a much better shot, but people will try and help you. Its how the game works. I won but surviving the longest, and believe me I nearly died", she grunted getting a bit agitated and poured herself another drink, causing Hazel to shoot her a look.
"and what do you think your looking at", she roared at Hazel making her wig fall off.
In a squarry, she fixed her wig. "I am sorry Hazel, nothing madam", and hurried out of the room.
Muriel looked back at us both. "I definitely preferred the old mentor. Less judgmental".
I watched the Re-caps of the reaping with Adam.
"Would you join an alliance", I asked him, hoping he would like to take me on.
"No. I am going to work in the arena alone", he said looking at me. "But I wish you, and any alliance you join a lot of luck".
I didn't ask him anymore. But I knew I wanted someone to work with in the arena. I just don't know who. I am saddened Adam didn't want to help me, but can understand why. Just because we are district partners doesn't mean he can trust me. There is only one winner.
I wondered if Adam would ever try and kill me in the arena. I looked at him. He was watching the reaping intently.
I didn't see anyone who I would actually want to join. All the older ones looked fierce and intimidating, the others were too young, and the latter were careers. I guess I am going to be also working alone.
A/N
The next chapter is going to be the stylists and chariot rides. The tributes who i didn't write up POV's for in the trains will be featured this time round with interaction of the district partner.
The next chapter will be districts 1-6, and then part two will be 7-12. I feel there are two many chapters going up, for only 1 tribute per chapter etc, so want to cut it down a bit, this will mean your wait for a chapter might be a little longer. (sorry).
But please review and tell me your thinking and likes/dislikes about the tributes etc.
