All the tributes stood in a large circle around Atala. I noticed some district's tributes were absent for training, which to me, doesn't make sense. Atala continued to tell us that a majority of us would die from natural causes. When she finished talking we all broke up and went about are business.

I headed straight for the board with all the berries on it. The objective was to match up all the edible plants and insects together. A majority of them were poisonous, nightlock was the most common poisonous plant. It is found in a majority of the districts. One bite and you're dead before they reach your stomach. It is a very quick way to go.

All the careers have started forming their little group. Glimmer and Marvel from District 1, Clove and Cato from District 2, and Marina from District 4. Marina's tribute partner wasn't included in the career pack. Either because he was twelve or his mentor told him not to join.

Katniss is over by Peeta, who is painting his arm to look like a tree. I continue to match up the berries until I hear a loud yell from Cato. He keeps screaming at the District 6 boy, blaming him for taking his knife. I notice that Katniss and Thresh keep staring at something near the ceiling. I look up and see Rue holding the knife. I give a small chuckle and get back to matching up the berries.

We get a small break to eat lunch during training. We get more fancy food that I can't believe exists. I grab my meal and go sit down by the girl from District 3.

"How long do you think you'll last in the games," she asks me. I had only been in the Capitol two days and I am already getting asked how long I think I'll last, unbelievable.

"I don't know. I haven't really been in this kind of a situation."

"True, Wiress told me to form alliances with people so would you like to be my ally?"

No, not the ally thing! I have nothing against forming alliances, I just feel like they drag others in the group down. I would end up forming an alliance with her, end up having to leave the group or possibly end up having to kill her. What if she gets injured?

"I am sorry, I don't plan on forming alliances with anyone," I tell her.

"That's ok, I know I'm not going to last the bloodbath anyway."

"Why do you think that," I ask her.

"I am not a career," she said.

"You just got to believe in yourself," I say.

The bell to get back to training rings and we all make our way back into the training center. I go over to the knot tying. There is a screen that shows you the steps on the screen. As I am tying the knot I hear a loud thunk on the ground.

I turn around and see the District 3 girl on the ground. I run over to her, "are you ok," I ask. She nods her head yes and stands up. Her lip starts bleeding a little bit, but it's not too bad. The group of careers saw her fall off the gauntlet and started to laugh, her own district partner even laughed!

"Here let me help you up," I say lifting her up. I take her over to Atala and she gets her lip cleaned up.

Training went on for the rest of the day. After it was over, Sam and I went back to the Tribute Center for dinner. "How was training," Rita asked. "It went fine, a girl asked me to form an alliance with her but I told her no."

Rita got this look on her face like I was crazy. "Why would you tell her no!"

"Because I need to worry about myself in the games and not worrying if my ally made out of the bloodbath alive or in a hovercraft."

Sam started talking about how his training went and then Claudia walked in. All of us sat down at the table and began to eat dinner. I began to think, the Capitol can afford such luxuries, why couldn't they share them with the districts? After all, we do supply things for the Capitol to have these items. I didn't know, maybe someone will rebel and we could gain some of the wealth, but no one would ever rebel against the Capitol.

We had two more days of training before we would get scored. I needed to think of what skill I would show the gamemakers, maybe show off my agility skills and run on the gauntlets. I think I'll just show them my survival skills.

I had two more days to think about what I wanted to do for my skill. I went back into my room and looked out at the Capitol again, it was still beautiful. "How can something so beautiful do something so horrible," I say to myself.

If I thought the games were bad just from viewing them, what would it like to be in them? In my opinion I was glad it wasn't like the 25th Hunger Games. The 25th games was the first Quarter Quell where there is a special twist in the games. That year the tributes were voted into the games, it just goes to show how careless the society is.

Another thing I couldn't imagine was winning them. I've seen mentors from other districts roaming around the tribute center and most of them act normal, but we all know deep down that they are scarred from them.

I couldn't think about these things anymore and so I went to sleep.
