Chapter 14: Astounded
After 3 days of going to each station we saw fit and surprisingly when Joe and I both trained together it always ended in making out. Overall the past couple of days were really FUN!
On the third day we are summoned to the private sessions with our gamemakers. Once the rest of the tributes have emptied from the room only Joe and I are left. "So you're going to throw knives?" I ask.
"Yeah" Joe responds.
"I don't know how I'm going to show them my one-on-one combat."
"Just ask for a volunteer or umm get a dummy?" We both laugh though it short lived when we get the prospect in our minds. The door opens for Joe to walk in. First he gives me a quick kiss and says "you'll be brilliant" he gives me a kiss on my forehead and goes.
While I wait I try and think of what I can do. Dummy? Volunteer? Oh god what if one of the gamemakers puts up their own hand? Oh god. I wonder how Joe is going. No, he'll do fine. My heart races faster and faster. Then the door opens. I walk in. There is a table where all the gamemakers are sitting. I ask for a volunteer of some sort. "I won't stab them or anything, don't worry." One of them actually smiles. Ha! They pay attention!
An avox comes and faces towards me. I think he has been trained as for a person to be thrown around for the games I can see he has muscle and has scars as well. I feel guilt. I move a little bit with my back to the gamemakers and mouth the words "Sorry" toward the avox. I then run toward the avox and do the same thing I did to Joe the first time of training. I have him on the ground. I then having paid lots of attention to my brother's ramblings seize the arm of the avox and pull him toward the sky with enough momentum that he hits the ground completely flipped over. I then say "You're dismissed" He then just walks away.
I then still trying to keep the gamemakers attention pick up a knife and a dummy I flip the dummy in front of the gamemakers then as the dummy is meant to be life like it is weighed down to make it the same weight as a normal person I swing the dummy around my head and as it is in front of me I slice its head off. I then face one of the targets and using Joe's tips I throw the knife to find that it hits the bullseye or very nearly the bullseye anyway. I then walk towards the exit with the faces of the gamemakers faces either absolutely astounded or horrified. I give them a smirk and add "Oh yeah you might want to fix the dummy" I walk out and absolutely astounded with myself I put my back up against the wall, breathing hard and my heart beating faster than before. Once I calm down I walk into the elevator, push the 12 button and travel up to my floor.
