Thanks for reviewing guys, here's another chapter and I hope you all enjoy it! PS my life is like, so chaotic, but good thing in science we do basically nothing so I can just write this on paper. Though my problem is typing, I'm such a procrastinator :P Anyway read!

Carina's POV

Garrett. He's been kind and gentle throughout all this, not bitter as Luke.

The room seemed huge, quieter, and definitely scarier. It was simple, I'd been over the routine millions of times! Tying knots, fires, daggers, and then spears.

I only hoped that the spears weren't overused, that was my one strength. The knots were simple, except my problem was my hands were trembling rapidly. Each loop and interception made me want to run and cry. Maybe I should take fires off my list, it was very much likely I would burn myself.

Instead I walked onto daggers and knife throwing. I got mostly within the second to smallest circle, and a few were bullseye! My confidence grew and built up with each throw. I finally felt the spear in my fist as I prepared for one throw.

"Ahem, you can leave now miss." I turn to see an unfamiliar round woman smiling. Without obeying I throw the spear and it hits the heart of the dummy. She looks flabbergasted at this, "I said you can leave now." Her face was scrunched in a knot as she tried to stay positive. A gesture to the door and I smiled, leaving.

I walked towards the elevator, a strong scent of rose filled the air as I scuffled across the carpet. The small ding came as I entered the empty dark hole. The doors shut behind me and my legs gave in, crumpling to the floor. They're going to give me the lowest score possible! I'll get no sponsors, and I'll die in the bloodbath. Especially that strange woman, she'd find a way to kill me. The tears were streaming down my cheeks and crawling around me, oh great I've made a mess.

After a few stumbles I made it to my bedroom already sobbing hysterically. It was still the afternoon and I was exhausted.

I cried for what felt like hours until a knock arrived at my door, "Carina? Luna told me to get you." Luke's voice was slightly muffled. "Can I come in?" I was under the impression Luke was angry at me, guess not.

"N-no! I'll be out in a b-bit!" I manage to get out before he hears me crying. Another 10 minutes go by as I change and wash my face, my eyes are still slightly red but these cheeks have been ridded of the sticky feeling.

The dining room was full already, Hazel sits beside Luke as he tosses her a look of disgust. Garrett glares down at his food across from Luke. I occupy the seat beside him. The clank of Kathleen's fork hits the plate, "Well?" She steals glances at each of us, "How and what'd you do?"

Hazel is the first to speak up, "I started a fire." All heads go up and stare at her, "I built a huge fire."

"Why the hell would you do that?" Luna gaped widemouthed over at Hazel.

"That chubby woman wasn't paying attention to me." A chuckle from Garrett.

"Got somethin' to say pretty boy?" Kathleen stared daggers into him.

"Nope, I did notice that woman though." Nobody's convinced. "All I did was toss some arrows." He raises his hands as if surrendering to policemen.

"Carina? Luke?" She seems okay with everything so far.

"Spears." I mumbled into my plate, better not tell them about defying that lady.

"What? Speak up." Kathleen says, those brown eyes trained on me. "Did something bad didn't you?" Her face was frozen in anger, trying to intimidate me.

I shake my head once, then nod while looking down in shame. "She excused me, I was angry because I had yet to throw the spear. So I threw it anyway, she seemed very upset." My voice was small, innocent.

"Oh. That's not so bad, right?" Luna seemed to perk up at this.

"S'alright." Kathleen picked up her fork and stabbed the sausage. "You?" To the only one who hadn't said a word, Luke.

Luke looked up from his steaming cup of hot chocolate. "It's training. I'm not supposed to tell you." A smirk reaches his lips as he says this.

"Nobody ever listens to that crap," Kathleen says before dropping her fork on the floor. A girl reaches to get it but Kathleen stops her, "I got it." And she bends down.

"Well, if you must know; I-" Luke begins but he's cut off.

And that's when the explosion happens.
