A/N hey guys I'm back, this chapter is also going to be short because it's like a sort of mini chapter and all that happens is that the parade and they get their scores kind of like the one I wrote in Never To Know anyway I hope you like it and please when you review don't flame me for making it short! And most of the scores that I give the tributes will be fictional because I don't actually have the book on me as I write this but please try to keep up with me. Thanks and please read. By the way this is all made up, as we don't actually know what happens to them but hey hopefully it'll make sense. By the way now I will give every tribute a name well, they are the exact names of the ones from Never To Know. So after all that come to the conclusion, this will be a very short chapter.

A parade, scored

My nerves are on edge so much I'm shaking. My costume entirely consists of a foil like substance with a green felt headdress and black shoes. My dress that is tight until it reaches my knees where it swirls around my ankles. Aiden is wearing black with a silver headpiece.

I watch as district one role out in their silver carriage and lipizzaner horses and my heart is thumping so loudly in my chest that I think my family back in District Five will hear it!

The girl from District One looks very sleek and shiny in a gold patterned dress with silver and white accessories, the boy has white and silver that tries to show how well muscled he is. Those tributes will probably get a lot of sponsors.

The others seem to, well, parade past.

Two has dark clothing making them look threatening

Three wears grey to represent factories

Four bright green with blue and white swirls, they fish

Then it's our turn, getting into our bright green carriage and strawberry roan horses our costumes flash in the twilight sun. The crowd screams and yells our District numbers and our names. Aiden turns and looks at me his face a strange colour, kind of between grey and green.

Finally our deadly moments have finished and District six rolls out its carriage to applause. What I've noticed that you couldn't hear on telly was the reactions of the crowd. The first few districts the Careers get the loudest reaction. After that the applause dies down until when you get to Twelve they hardly ever clap, Twelve never makes it.

As Ten rolls out I feel the butterflies again even though my moment is over. I don't know why but I feel as if something is coming. We are all huddled around the corner from the arena where the parade is held. Ten comes round the bend and the girl practically falls out. I can hear the screams for District Eleven by now it's not as loud as before as obviously but it's still quite loud I bet we'll be able to hear quite easily when it's District Twelve's turn. The cries will be almost non-existent. Eleven rounds the bend and I know that any moment now District Twelve will be appearing in the arena and the crowd will die down.

There is a silence so deafening from behind the walls and I think that the tributes must have just come through. Obviously they're costumes are so strange that no one can speak. Then just as I'm about to turn to Aiden to comment there is a deafening round of screams and yells that I can hardly hear my self-think. I make out what they are saying, things like,

"Go District Twelve!" And

"YEAH!" and other things besides the crowd are calling their names that I can't quite make out. As they come round the corner I can only stare in shock and disbelief. Their costumes are stunning, quite literally eye catching.

They are bright jewels in a puddle of murky water. A light in the darkness. Obviously that fire isn't real fire just another one of the Capitol's inventions, they're capes and headdresses are alight but they aren't burnt. The rest of their costume is black and they are absolutely stunning no question the favourites this year. The looks on the faces of Districts one and two are absolutely priceless. They share a look of rage and disbelief.

That evening all people can talk about is the parade. The next day we have training. Three days before we meet the Gamemakers. Get tested. And scored.

The next morning I am not looking forward to the training. So I really don't want to get out of bed. Eventually when I can stay no longer I get up and put on the outfit at the end of my bed, a light orange top with pale green combats.

After breakfast Lilly, Scarlet and Danien led the way down to the basement area where I would spend the next three days training. When we get down there most of the other Districts are already there. I saw the tough looking District two Tributes and the glamorous District One's. District Twelve weren't there yet though. We were lead to one side away from the others and Scarlet whispers to us,

"Don't give anything away about your strengths and weaknesses, don't show your best until the Gamemakers come." Danien added his own remarks,

"Don't talk to any other tributes unless you can help it, you might let something slip." And then they were gone down the corridor and out of sight with Lilly doing her funny little skipping run after them.

When all the tributes were assembled, with the District one and two tributes giving the Twelve's dirty looks. I get a close look at them this time. The girl her name just doesn't stick with me but, she looks a little taller than me and we have the same build with small shoulders and delicate features. The boy is sturdy with wide shoulders and his colouring is completely different to the girls, he has Ash blonde hair and blue eyes she has dark, dark brown/ black hair and dark eyes.

The head trainer, Atala steps forward and begins to outline the rules of training. We are not aloud to train with any of the other tributes; there are assistants on hand if we want to train with a partner. Other than that we are aloud to go to any station we want.

Aiden and I separate and I head towards the knife-throwing stand as I think I might as well start somewhere. I decide to size up my opponents. So I make a list in my mind about the ones that I think will be the most threatening to me in the arena.

District 1: the boy is broad shouldered and looks strong

District 1: the girl looks sweet and stylish with bright green eyes and long wavy blonde hair.

District 2: both of them are well built.

No point surmising the district three's,

District 4: anyway they are also both distinctly careers.

The next district that seems to have anyone worth fearing is 11, with the boy being at least seven feet tall and built like a bull.

District twelve has no big threats but the boy has a definite air of strength, while the girl although small looks like a survivor.

That night I think about the last few days, all the weird and wonderful, defiantly not wonderful, things that have happened to me.

Two days later and it's the dawn of the day when I will have to show the Gamemakers what I can do. I'm quite good at throwing knives and I know how to camouflage myself well. But will that win me any points with the Gamemakers?

I'm standing outside the room where we trained and will go into to be viewed by the Gamemakers. Aiden is currently in there and will probably be done any minute. I'm just starting to relax slightly when a loud voice rings out,

" Amber Dennhark!" My heart immediately leaps into my mouth. I stagger forward and open the tinted glass doors. Inside is a miraculously clear space where before had been weapons and other things. The Gamemakers are staring intently at me. I go over to the knife area and take a bundle and begin throwing them at dummies and targets I score an average of about 3 every 5 shots. The Gamemakers are nodding and writing things down. I walk towards the camouflage area and paint my skin so that I am almost invisible against the leafy background. This goes on for sometime while I show any skill that I have any talent at, which is not much. Eventually they dismiss me and I make my way to and out of the door and up the elevator to my level.

That night they show the scores of all the tributes now to get a name for my enemies!

The careers traditionally get an 8-10 score and the rest of the districts usually get 1-7 but sometimes this changes. They put a picture of the tributes faces along with their names and then their score. They start with the boy tributes.

I discover most of the tributes names then but some still allude me.

1. Phoenix 9

1. Glimmer: 8

2. Cato: 10

2. Clove: 10

3. Ray: 4

3. I don't catch her name, also a 4

4. Marvin: 9

4. Maya: 8

5. 4

5. Amber: 6, I don't think that's too bad considering I'm not really skilled with any sort of weapon.

6. Aiden: 3 poor boy

6. 3

7. 3

7. 3

8. Dahlia: 2

8. 4

9. Jedlay: 6

9. Joanna: 3

10. Scott: 5

10. Sarah: 3

11: Thresh: 10, not really surprising is it?

11. Rue: 7 amazing for such a little girl.

12. Peeta: 8 I thought there was something about him

12. Katniss: 11.

Eleven! Eleven! I can't believe it! It's like the highest score you can get well, 12 is but 11! Second highest! How did she manage that?! What did she show them? I think that because of her stunning outfit and miraculous score all the careers will be out to get her.

Aiden meanwhile is still contemplating.

"Well done." I try to sound reassuring but I think something in my voice makes him look up.

"Nah I did rubbish but you, you got a good mark half! And how did Katniss get that eleven?" that's just what I was thinking .

"Yeh, well, most of them beat me. Even that little twelve year old Rue!" this seems to conquer him. I announce that I am going to go to bed and stumble out of the room and down the corridor into the darkness of sleep in my Capitol bed. My dremas filled with numbers and pictures.
