Bullens was a total jerk in the last chapter, he must know something is up...
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN!
Anyway, this is in Marigold's POV :) I'm finally using Marigold's POV :D

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I opened my eyes to see Missy lingering over me, with a uniform in hand. "What's that?" "Why, your training center uniform of course!" "Oh great." I got out of bed and shooed Missy away, I really loved her, she helped raise me, but does she really have to be so happy about everything? I put on my uniform and tied my hair back, I made sure that I would look somewhat appealing, I wanted to win, I needed to look like a winner. Missy later escorted Obsidian and I to the training center elevators and in a minute we were there, with the other tributes. The careers were already in their little group, districts 5 and 7 were grouped as well, Spikelet and the District 3 girl were together also, leaving us and the rest of the tributes on our own. "Wanna be training partners?" I ask Obsidian, knowing he'd say yes anyway. "Sure. What should we do first?" "Spears, definitely." We walk to the spear station, the instructor Lawrence taught us the basics of throwing and using spears. He set up a target for us. "Ladies first!" I grabbed the most simple looking spear and aimed at my target the bullseye. I finally threw my spear and it ended up really close to the bullseye, on the left, I was aiming towards the right. Darn! I took my spear out of the target and Obsidian took his turn, his spear ended up right on the bullseye. "Good job!" He took his spear and shot at the target again, another bullseye, and another after that. "Hey!" I could hear Spikelet's voice boom across the room. "What?" "You two seem pretty good, I was wondering if you wanted to be my allies, along with Rebekkah, of course." "Yes, we'd love to!" "I'm glad." Spikelet walks away with Rebekkah and they go to the tree-climbing center. We were now a alliance, Spikelet, Rebekkah, Obsidian, and me. We seemed like we'd make a good team, I hope Spikelet doesn't add anyone else to our team, I think four is enough! "Where do you want to go next?" "Let's try out the blowguns." "Marigold! Are you nuts? Nobody uses those!" "That's the whole point!" "How can you be so sure?" "Just trust me." We head to the blowgun station, nobody was there to instruct us. "Nobody's here!" "I know, I actually already know how to use a blowgun anyway, my mother has a good talent with them, it rubbed off on me, I guess." "So you're my instructor?""Exactly." I showed him the basic use of the blowgun, he didn't seem to interested, but he was watching me anyway. "Here, try this!" I throw him a simple blowgun, a medium sized one. "You sure this is even sanitary?" "Nobody's used these! They're brand spanking new!" I watched as he used the gun, he never hit the bullseye on my target, not once. "Let me show you how it's done!" I took a much more complicated blowgun and used it, hitting the target every time, being exactly precise with my aim. "Wow, you really have some talent, Marigold!" "Thank you!" We headed to the tree-climbing station, where Spikelet and Rebekkah were earlier. At first I struggled to climb the tree, since it had no branches, but then a got the hang of it, I had a feeling I would need this skill in the arena. I watched Obsidian climb the tree, he was a natural at climbing that tree, he had the hang of it long before I did. I heard a bell ring and the other tributes headed to the elevators, so we followed them. We later got to the apartment and met Missy and Septimus at the dinner table. "So? What did you lovebirds learn today?" Septimus asked. "We learned how to use spears and blowguns. We also learned how to climb trees." Obsidian replied"I noticed the tree had no branches." "Yeah it did, I found that quite strange." After that Missy attempted to try and keep up a conversation, but she failed every time. We all ate in silence, not disturbing on another, then we went to bed. Normally my dreams would consist of rainbows and lollipops, but not that night. I dreamt of the games, I saw everyone die in different ways. Rebekkah died when a bullet hit her head, the careers got blown up by the landmines, Spikelet drowned in a lake. It was all too horrifying, I screamed loudly probably waking up everyone, nobody came to my aid as I had hoped. I sighed and went back to sleep and to the nightmares.
