Hey people! Thank you for reading and reviewing! A special thank you to Sparky's Girl for giving so much feedback! I will post all the tributes' names and powers at the end. Here's your chapter :)

MARK

I can't believe it. My first test where I show myself to the Game-makers has just passed. And I FAILED it. I slash at the dummy's neck with my stygian iron knife. I imagine what my mother would say. My son, a demigod, unable to defeat his own shadow. I throw knife at the next dummy, hitting it straight where the heart would be. How could I? I studied and trained for 3 months preparing for this! And what happens when I do it? I get OUTSMARTED, by myself! How is that even possible? Every day my hopes had gone higher as I got stronger and stronger. I recall what happened to me earlier today…

I watch as my last knife sails away from my target and hits a tree. I am left weaponless and drained of my energy, while my shadow is standing opposite of me. It starts coming closer to me, 24 stygian iron knives floating around it. I start backing away from it, and then I trip and fall. My duplicate looms over me, and I know that if this was the real Hunger Games, it would be the end of me. Suddenly, a bell rings and the shadow disappears, and the knives hurtle down towards me. I roll out of the way. I stand up and go to where I knew the exit would be. As I pass the Game-makers room, I can hear laughter.

How dare they laugh at me? I would like to see THEM fighting against themselves. They couldn't have expected me to pass this test immediately! I look around to find the next dummy. I am surprised to find that everything has been blown away to the edges of the room. The weapons were all in a pile on the floor near the entrance. Wait, did I do that? In my anger, I have blown away everything to the far corners. I search for my knives. When I see them, my jaw drops open. All twelve of them have impaled themselves into the marble walls, up to their hilt in it. I see just how much power I have when I am angry, and I am scared. What if I get angry at someone in the Games, and end up killing my friends and allies? Maybe… maybe my power isn't a good thing after all. I told myself to go philosophical later. Right now, I needed to get my knives out of the wall. I try pulling on one, and to my surprise it slides right out. I look at the hole my knife made. I see daylight streaming in through the hole. Those walls are really thin… I proceeded to take out all the knives from the wall.

"So, what do we have for dinner today?" I ask no one in particular.

"I think I heard the cook say we're having lamb stew today." Hannah answers.

Our mentor, Octimus walked in the room and sat down by the table. Hannah and I sat opposite of him. A boy with dark hair and blue eyes, an Avox, comes in and sets a tray of lamb stew on the table. Then, as silently as he had come in, the Avox goes out. We eat in silence for a minute or two, until Octimus asks the question I would never want to answer in my whole life.

"So, how did your test go?"

The silverware started shaking and I will myself to control it. Octimus looks at me, one of his eyebrows raised.
"Well, no needs to answer that question, I already know how you did, judging from your reaction."

An apple pie flew from the desserts table at my mentor. Somehow, he managed to dodge it. The wonderful apple pie flew into the wall. Well, at least it didn't go THROUGH the wall.

"Ok, we'll leave the topic of Mark's test, then." Octimus commented. I willed myself not to use Telekinesis to apple pie him again.

"Hannah, how did your test go?"

"Fine."

By the look on her face, I would say it went anything BUT fine. At least her powers didn't get out of control. Like mine did.

"Well, you guys seem like you had the best time in the world on that test." Octimus said sarcastically.

We need a better mentor.

"I'm not hungry." I announce and walk to my room.

-20 seconds later-

I flop onto the bed and grab a random book from the pile on my shelf. Flaws of Greek gods and demigods.Hmm, this should be interesting. I make notes about fatal flaws of every Greek god and goddess whose children are in the Games.

Zeus- Gets mad easily, is irrational.

Poseidon- greek demigods have been known to be really faithful to their friends, but Poseidon's wrath is also fairly easy to get yourself into.

Hades- holding grudges

Apollo- Loves himself, vanity

Demeter- when feels grief or mad is unable to use her power.

Hecate- Betrays easily, can be too mysterious and her children can become unsure of themselves.

Aphrodite- isn't the fighting type, feelings over logic. Feelings… Weakness… I can work with that.

Hephaestus- Self-conscious, anti-social.

Ares- irrational

Athena- Tends to overthink problems.

Artemis- cold and calculating.

I wake up to Octimus shouting for Hannah and I to come to breakfast. I jump up and get myself ready for the day. While I am preparing, I finish the last chapter of the book that I didn't finish since I fell asleep too early.

"Mark, what's taking you so long!" I hear Hannah shout. Of course, she is already there waiting to eat breakfast. Who said that girls take longer to prepare in the morning? Of course, Hannah is different from other girls; she is more trustworthy and hardworking than most people I know, including myself.

"Mark, if you don't come this minute..." I get to the kitchen before Octimus finishes his sentence.

"You will do what? Ban me from the Hunger Games?"

I fall on my bed, tired from today's training... As usual. But I have set a goal for myself to call David and make a "peace treaty" with him. I know he is a powerful enemy, since he can immediately find out all about my plans and other tributes' plans. I do not want myself getting tricked. Plus, David seems like a normal person, as far as demigods with powers in the Hunger Games go. During his interview, I really wanted to find out more about him and his past, but his time ran out.

I dial the number of his room from a list hanging next to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey David, this is Mark from the fifth district."

"Hey Mark." He sounds cautious, as if he's expecting me to jump through the wall and kick him. I laugh to myself at that image.

"I was thinking that maybe we could make a peace treaty between us, like, we help each other and not kill each other. Also, if we do that, I would like to ask you to... Uh... Not read my mind."

"Ok Mark, but I want one thing that you can do for me in the beginning."

"And what is that?"

"That you get me a spear or a crossbow in the beginning of the games."

"I agree! You will get one of those by the beginning of the games, I promise you."

"Ok, bye Mark."

"Oh! By the way, how did your test go yesterday?"

I hear a click and then a beeping sound. I'm glad Hannah and I are not the only ones that failed. I am so relieved that David agreed to such great terms. I can see why my part of the deal is good for him too. He has a really useful power, but it is passive. The most likely event to happen if he runs to the cornucopia is that he gets stabbed, electrocute, fried, drowned, or something else, mainly involving him dying some way or another. He seems to have thought of this a lot.

I dial Jacinta Butler's number; I already memorized it since I have talked to her before. I knew it wasn't smart to make alliances with too many people, but I couldn't resist. She was to fun to talk to. I settle down in a chair to talk to the most intelligent person I have talked to during my life. We discuss everything- from the arena to mutts to eliminating the other tributes. I admit I have a lot of fun talking to Jacinta, and I enjoy a few minutes, (ok, a bit more than a few minutes) of talking with a person I can relate to and understand well. She is my half-sister, after all. When I'm done talking to Jacinta, I go to dinner and after that go to watch the 27th Hunger Games, since Hannah and I decided to watch one Hunger Games every day and take notes about important parts and tactics in the Huger Games. I go to bed relieved that I have made another friend in this cruel world. My eyes get heavy and I fall into my world of extremely happy nightmares.
