The next two days were the same, we were training. We got to every single station, somehow, we were totally prepared for the games. Now it was time to train in front of the gamemakers, I was nervous. I watched as the District 1 girl walked into the training room. "Marigold, you scared?" Obsidian asked, sitting next to me. "Of course! This could be the difference between life and death! My mother told me all about it." "I heard she stayed in the room when your father had his session, is that true?" "Yes, I'm doing the same, I need to wish you luck." "I'm glad, you're a good friend Marigold." We're just friends, darn! I better get used to it! "Marigold Perthshire!" I ran into the room, there was a variety of blowguns laid out for me to use, I took one of the bigger more advanced ones. I held the gun in my hand and look at the targets the game makers set up, there were some moving ones and some still ones. I aimed and shot all the moving targets one by one, then I got the still ones, each one had a dart right on the bullseye, perfect! The gamemakers clapped their hands. "Good job Miss Perthshire! You're just like your mother!" I bowed and walked to the side, and watched them set up a table of spears. Obsidian walked in shortly afterwards, and picked a few spears, he headed to the targets, which we similar to mine. He threw all the spears to their targets, only missing one. "Good job!" I shouted from behind. "Thank you!" He ran up and hugged me, I hugged him back, little did we know that we were supposed to leave the room. "Kids, stop hugging and get outta here!" We ran out of the room and headed back to our apartment. "Hello, lovebirds!" "Septimus, stop calling us that." "It's true though!" I rolled my eyes and saw Missy, she was on the phone. "We'll be up shortly Lucan, don't worry, they'll be excited to see you! Alright? Bye!" Missy hung up. "Come on! We're going to floor twelve!" I smiled, Spikelet likes us! We walked out the door and went to the elevator and pressed the 12 button. I could feel us rising to the top, I liked it. We finally arrived to floor 12, I was excited, I'd get to talk to Spikelet. I knocked on the door. "Hello, come in. I'm Lucan." "Nice to meet you, I'm Septimus." They shook hands and Lucan let us in. "Spikelet! Your allies are here!" "Hey." "Hi!" I hugged her, instantly she smiled and laughed. "Let's watch for our training scores! I'll get some popcorn." Nice, popcorn, so we can spit it out when we get extremely low scores! We silently awaited our training scores, we focused on all of the scores, the careers had a nines, tens, and elevens. Rebekkah got a five, a low scores, she had to be careful. I watched as the number six flashed on the TV, our scores! "Marigold Perthshire, gets a eleven!" "Good job!" "Thanks." I blushed, I got a really good score. "Obsidian Darkbloom gets a ten!" "Good job!" I hugged him and we laughed right through the scores for Districts 7 and 8. We saw the scores for 9, 10, and 11. Five, six, seven, eight, four and three. "Spikelet Abernathy gets a twelve!" "I can't believe it!" We started throwing popcorn at each other for no reason, everyone was laughing and having fun. It was a fun day, but after two days, we'd be in the games. I hate those games.
