Mica's POV

We rode in a car to the train station. I had been in a car tons of times, but Rory kept looking around unsure.

When we reached the train station I hopped out of the car and jogged down the red carpet, waving to the cameras and smiling big. I didn't even look back at Rory, after a few minutes inside the train, she comes in. She seemed frightened and just looked around at the train car. The train started moving and she seemed astonished at the speed. I smirked; I hoped she wouldn't try to intrude on my pack. May Freth walked in. "Helloo kiddies. I hope you approve of this vessel." I shrug my shoulders, I've seen better on TV. "If you need anything just ask an Avox." I rolled my eyes and went to my room.

My shower only had about 40 settings; how disgraceful. I was a tribute! A precious future-victor! I deserve better, honestly!

When I am called to dinner the food is better than we have at home, but still; I know it could be better.

Rory's POV

The plates of food in front of me were richer and more plentiful than any meal I had ever seen. Just because my family wasn't dirt poor didn't mean we had feasts and lovely drinks at every meal. I ate a lot of chocolate and sugar, but the fruit was equally delicious. I had hot chocolate; it was creamier and richer than anything I had ever had in my life.

May came in and had a glass of neon blue wine, "Sooo-ooo you wanna watch the reeeaapinggs. Heheheheeee." I could tell the stuff had gotten her drunk. Mica raised an eye brow.

"Maybe you should lie down." I say cautiously, I didn't want to upset her.

"Why? I'm fine. Come on!" She stood up and broke her right pump. "Oo-oo-oh!" she partially walked, partially fell to the other side of the car until Mica scooped her up. An Avox showed us to the compartment.

All the tributes volunteered from the career districts, except me of course, there was a girl from 3 about my size, I thought about her being my ally, but she couldn't speak which could've complicate things. The girls from 5 and 6 also strike up a certain interest but I wasn't sure if they would accept me, being from a career district and all.

When the reapings were done, Mica carried May back to her room and an Avox escorted me to my room. I slipped on a blue nightie, brushed my teeth which (which didn't actually require me to do anything), and crawled into bed. The silk sheets soon lull me to sleep; my dreams are just as lovely as the capitols hot chocolate. I watch President Snow beg at my mercy, I watch my children grow up without the hunger games.

When I wake I wish I hadn't had such sweet dreams; now I'm was in an especially touchy mood. I went to get some breakfast and found myself writing things with jam on my empty plate like; unfair, and, murder. I piled melon on my plate and ate most of it finding the words erased from the plate, and I remembered that I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and start helping my chances. I get up and go to find our mentor.

It takes a while but finally I find him. His name is Freddy Herzok, he won about 6 years ago by strangling more than half the tributes. I expected him to be large and brutal. Actually, he had a wiry build and was actually quite sweet.

"Sorry I was unable to attend diner last night, I had a touch of the flu." This surprised me, victors were usually quite tough.

"Oh well I just wanted to meet you and talk." I was hoping he would catch on that I wanted to talk about the games.

"Oh I see. You want to talk about your strategy." I smile and sit down.

"Since you are from district 4 I take it you will be in the pack with Mica?"

"Um, no, actually I don't want to join their pack."

"Interesting, I haven't had someone who wanted their own strategy in years." This causes me to blush lightly. "So do you want to play the weakling, have allies, or go solo and wing it?"

"I wouldn't mind some allies, I liked a few of the girls from last night but one of them was unable to speak, do you think she could still be my ally?"

"I think that could be an advantage; make a code then she can't share secrets." I had never thought of it that way before, maybe she would be my favorite ally, or my most deadly.

Hey guys sorry this took a little while again. I started a new story but it's not a SYOT, it's called Kambry Matts. It's about a 15 year old girl in District 12 who is dating this popular guy and her friend finds out…they end up stranded in a mine. Please read it and tell me if you think it's good. It has drama and is a bit soap-opera-esk in the beginning but I think it will get better I'm planning for someone to go into the games at some point so please read it and tell me what you think.
