A/N:

Hey guys! Sorry it took so long, I am in the process of moving right now. Ugh packing. But I took a break so I could at least put up a chapter or two! Just sayin': I have no idea how people actually make alliances, I'm guessing they just kind of talk and decide. But this is how I SEE IT. But please someone review and educate me :) I would love to know how these actually start xD

Hope you like chapter 8!

Chapter 8-Alliances

Xara:

I tried to sit as still as possible as my prep team did my make-up. I didn't know their names and I honestly didn't care. I didn't know my stylists name either. I think his name was Jezzy, but I don't really know. And as I said before, I didn't care. These people were just pets of the Capitol, serving to their every need. I didn't want to know them or befriend them in any way. Especially when they were changing who I was. Granted, it was only my appearance... But still...

Suddenly, my mentor, Brimet Castor strolled into the room. She had purple hair, straightened down her back with a red business looking suit on. She'd really cleaned up from her trashy matted hair and pretty much naked outfit from before. She slammed her hand down on the table beside me. "All of you. Out." She said to my prep team. She looked to me. "Alright, here's the list. Pick the allies you want. But you are working with Nettie Collins no matter what. I requested her."

"What? Isn't that my choice?" I said frustrated.

"Listen, this is about your fighting and survival skills. Your survival skills are over the top. But you had a low score for your fighting. And she got a twelve. Stick with her and you'll live!"

I glared at Brimet. "Okay, fine. But I want these two. District One and Ten."

"No males?"

"No, just Aria and Rei."

"Alright, I'll go accept them."

"You don't have to request them?"

She laughed pausing in the doorway to grin at me. "They requested to be allies with YOU, silly girl. You must have done SOMETHING right to get any requests at all." She flipped her hair before she walked out.

Boy, did I wanna slap the purple off that woman!

Jareth:

"I don't have to work with Nettie right?" I grumbled.

"You created the romance, so you should stick with it..." Peeta started. "But, you really don't have too."

"Good, I don't want her. Did I get any requests?" I snapped.

Peeta looked down at his list. "Just one. The girl from District 7. Rosalind Cune."

"Accept her. I need all the help I can."

"She's working with the boys from 4 and 5."

"Whatever, as long as I live, I could care less about them."

I was over being nice defenseless Jareth. It was time to fire up the big guns.

District 2:

The girl Mackenzi, shouted cruel words at her brother, Damien, sending a lamp flying across the room. Whatever he has said to her has clearly angered her.

"Clean it up, filth!" Mackenzi shouted shoving their Avox to the floor.

"Kenzi, calm down!" Damien growled at her.

"I don't want any alliances! We're better off on our own!" She yelled back throwing a fork toward her brother. It stuck into the wall just above his ear, clipping a few of his hairs.

"We will survive longer with others. Even if we turn on them." Damien pulled the fork from the wall and set it down carefully beside the Avox who smiled gratefully up at him for not hitting her with it.

"I don't care! Don't you ever listen to me, stupid brother?" we are going just us! Understood?" She barked.

"Fine," Damien snapped. "But don't come crying to me when you want help!"

"Fine," Mackenzi smiled.

Quil:

"We're going to work together, right Quil?" The girl from my District, Erin begged as she sat on the couch beside me. I smiled at her, but it wasn't genuine.

"Of course, sure."

"Well, Quil," Our mentor, Chip, said, "you have two requests. Wallie Douglie from 9 and Zero from 6. You must have done something good." He smiled in approval. Then he frowned at Erin. "But you. I don't know what went wrong with you. But you got three requests as well. Shaunee from 5, Maxx from 9, and Bree from 11."

Erin smiled, "Accept them!"

Chip did as we said, walking away.

Nettie:

"What do you mean he doesn't want me?" I growled. "That traitor!"

Peeta shushed me. "That's fine, because you have an alliance. You got requests from almost every District." He showed me the list. A few names shocked me.

Rei Daniels-District 1

Erin Night-District 3

Quil Mailloux-District 3

Shaunee Barrett-District 5

Xara Tsunade-District 6

Finn Currullo-District 7

Adam Wesley-District 8

Maxx Rubal-District 9

Aria Haden-District 10

Jacob Smith-District 10

Bree Audia-District 11

I sighed and put a check next to Rei, Aria, Jacob and Xara. The only people I wanted.
