July 23rd, 31 A.D.D.

Two Weeks Until The 31st Annual Hunger Games

Bo Wright, District 10 Female

"No thanks." I calmly tell an avox who offers me a drink. I already have enough on my plate. A drink choice isn't one of them.

I had a lot going on in my head. My district partner was of course being favored by my mentor, Dahlia, however my escort, A'keria, has been very helpful with me.

"Even though you are only here for a short time. You should enjoy yourself." A'keria smiled at me. "You shouldn't be suffering the whole time."

"I- I know…it's just so hard to try not to think about death." I sighed. I was wondering how my abilities to manipulate others will work. In the past it has, but have I regretted it at times? Of course I have. People think I'm just a mean little girl who uses people, but their is more about me that that meets the eye.

"Well what do you like to do in your free time, my dear?" She asks.

That was a tough question. What do I like to do in my free time?

"I guess I like making jokes and trying new candies." I smiled slightly.

"Well I got some good news! We have some candies!" A'keria smiled at me getting up and handing me a bowl of candies I never seen before.

I smiled at her and picked a bag out called "Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears" which was basically exotic to me as we only have regular gummy bears back at home. The taste was one hundred percent much better than the gummy bears at home. The chocolate mixed with the strawberry flavored bear made it taste like a chocolate covered strawberry. I've only had these once in my lifetime and it brings me back to when I was a little girl.

"Well? How do you like it?" A'keria smiles sweetly at me.

"It's absolutely amazing. The best candy I had ever tasted." I grinned as I ate more.

"I figured. Most kiddos here love Capitol food." A'keria laughed.

"I wonder why!" I giggled.

"Anyways Bo, I know Dahlia has been….focused on your partner. I think I could give you advice. I may not be a victor or experienced in combat, but I've been a escort for fifteen years. I know a thing or two about how to survive the Hunger Games." A'keria says.

I figured that this would probably be my one and only chance to learn a few things.

"Of course. Tell me what you know." I smiled.

"Well, in the bloodbath I advise to NOT go into the center of the cornucopia. I suggest gathering items closer to you. I also advise you to not join a big alliance, especially one that has potential targets in it. Finally, I advise you to never give up on yourself and your ability to go things." A'keria tells me.

"Thank you so much for helping me A'keria, and thank you for the advice. I'm sure I'll be needing it." I smiled as I turned my head to look out at the train.

Marilla Ragna, District 4 Female

I need to win. Their is no other possible way. I want to win. I HAVE to win.

Matthew and Adore have been really helpful over the last two days. Mathias and I have been getting closer, despite us seeing each other at the training academy we never actually talked to each other, but still that won't stop be from winning. This is the Hunger Games not the Best Friends Games.

"Marilla, what are your best and worst skills? We will need to strengthen your best skills and improve your worst skills when we begin training at the Capitol." Matthew tells me.

"Well I'm good with most weapons, I'm strong, and of course I'm an excellent swimmer. I can't use a bow as well as others, and I'm not the best at team building." I say with a glare.

"We can work of your team building and bow and arrow skills at the Capitol. What about you Mathias?" Matthew says, turning his head towards Mathias.

"I'm very smart and I'm good with a trident, however I'm not the best at bows and arrows either." He sighed.

I rolled my eyes that he couldn't use a bow. We should know how to use long distance weapons, or at least a few.

"Can I be excused now? I need time to myself and don't have time for this bonding bullshit." I bluntly asked Matthew

"But- Alright Marilla…can we talk more later?" Matthew sighed. He knew just how much of a pain I was. It's not my fault I wasn't the best and getting along with other people. I just been focused on being the best. All career tributes are so you can't blame me.

"Sure." I sighed and got up and slammed my the corridor door shut.

I know need to prepare for whatever is to come, but first I need time to myself. I want to be alone for now.

Lavinia Referent, District 5 Female

"Confidence is key to survival." I noted in my notebook as I took notes from my mentor, Eli. We've been talking all about how to survival. Jupiter has been too, though he wasn't as excited as I was. I mean, who isn't excited to learn new survival skills?

"Lavinia, how are you feeling?" Jupiter asks me.

"I'm feeling alright I guess." I lied. Deep down I was terrified, even though I'm by far a good competitor for this year's crown. I do have my flaws which could result in my death.

"You sure? You don't seem like it?" Jupiter says seemingly seeing through my lie.

"I'm sure." I lied again.

"You know you are a terrible liar, right?" He chuckled. "Tell me what's wrong Lavinia." He calmly asks.

"I- fine you are right. I feel horrible….I feel like I won't be good enough and that my many flaws will result in my death." I say with a frown, looking down at the train floor.

"Hey, hey you'll be ok. As long as we are together we'll do great. Besides, teamwork is always the best." Jupiter gave me a comforting smile.

"T-thanks Jupiter. You know just how to cheer me up….and am I that bad at lying?" I chuckled.

"Well I can see right through it, I don't know about anyone else though." He laughed and shrugs.

I laughed loudly as we both looked at each other. This sure will be a fun ride with Jupiter.

Lilith Wayne, District 7 Female

"Maylis? What's it like winning the Hunger Games?" I asked nervously.

"It's….a mix of emotions. You feel happy, grateful, sad, angry….it nice at first to know you are going home, but it gets much worst after that." She sighed remembering Conleth.

"I understand that." I smiled and hugs Maylis to comfort her.

"Thanks Lilith, have you seen Fabio at all today?" Maylis asked.

"No….I haven't seen him since dinner last night. He's locked himself in his room I think. I can go get him if you like?" I tell her.

"No, it's fine let him be. I understand that he wants alone time." Maylis sighed and looked down at her watch.

"Alright." I sighed and looked out the window.

I am incredibly scared for what is to come in two weeks. I do not want to die at all, but how was I going to avoid my fate. I'm going have to get all the advice from Maylis as I need because I'm for sure going to need it.

And with that we have finished day 1 of train rides!
