Small note: Sorry if the training in this chapter is a bit rushed, because it's going to briefly talk about 5 more days of training – and then we start the game! Oh and this is a bit late… but Happy 4th of July! Hehe… it's actually the 5th now… but… hehe…

I released the dagger from my hand and sent it flying at the dummy, it was our last day of training, and I had a mind full of knowledge on plants and fighting tactics, I was ready… but I felt lost. I shook the thoughts out of my head and threw the other dagger, it landed on the head of the dummy, I smiled and flapped my wings so that I would rise a bit higher.

"Training ends in five minutes," A voice came over a loud speaker.

I slowly flew down and landed near Dawn Sage, she smiled at me before she threw a dagger, when it hit the centre she walked over, "I'm getting so much better, Miri has been helping a lot, which I think is really weird, because I didn't know that other tributes were nice to each other, I just thought that they all wanted to kill each other – "

"OK – ok, I get the point," I smiled at Dawn.

"Training ends in fifteen seconds," The voice over the speaker came again.

"Well, I have to go, see you tomorrow," I waved to Miri who was across the room and nodded at Dawn.

"At the arena," Dawn said softly.

I felt my heart sink, the arena, I was going to be in the death pit at exactly 8:00 AM the next day, I was terrified.

"Dessity, come on, everyone's leaving, we should too," James walked up next to me.

I didn't meet his eyes, "Yeah – bye Dawn."

Dawn nodded and walked off, and then James and I started our way back to our level.

(Somewhere secret in the Capitol)

"Sir, I don't get what – "

"I cant let them die…"

"Why not sir, I mean it's not like it would impact anything, besides their wings they are just tributes."

"NO! They are the last ones, all of the other experiments where executed!"

"What do you want me to do? Only one can live."

"You must make sure that one lives."

"Who will that be sir?"

There was a pause, "The girl… I want the girl to live."

"Yes – yes sir."

(The next day) (I'm so excited :D )

I was rushed to a room where Felicity said I would meet Crinso, but before I went in I grabbed onto Felicity's arm.

"Felicity…"

Felicity looked at me with sorrow, "Dessity – "

"I don't understand any of this – don't make me go there," I whimpered.

She hugged me, "No one does, the only thing we can do about this is ask questions."

I looked at her with tears in my eyes, and she continued, "But the only thing is… we just need someone to answer them."

I gave her one last squeeze, "I don't think anyone can."

She smiled, "So, have hope."

I nodded, "Thank you."

"Oh… I almost forgot – I found this in your room a few days ago when you were off training, I think it should be your token," Felicity reached into the pocket on her jacket and took out… my bluebird necklace.

I smiled remembering the note that my mother had given me, "Thank you Felicity…"

"Be strong out there," She nodded before she walked away.

I clutched my necklace in my hands as I walked into the room, Crinso was standing there smiling.

"I see you got the clothes I sent," He nodded.

I wiped my eyes, and looked down at the clothes I was wearing, a black shirt, a brown jacket, and brown pants with dark brown boots.

"Did they put the tracking device in your arm this morning?" Crinso asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"What's that you got in your hand?" Crinso asked.

"My token."

He smiled and walked towards me, "May I?" he asked.

I nodded and handed him the necklace, which he clipped around my neck, "There, your ready."

"FOUR MINUTES TILL COUNTDOWN," a speaker blared.

I leaned in and hugged Crinso, "Thank you for making me look pretty."

He laughed softly, "No problem, now, it's time."

I nodded and swallowed, and then I walked over to the clear tube that was on the wall, it was sort of like an elevator, I was to step into it, and then I would be raised into the arena. I stepped in and turned towards Crinso, "Goodbye," I whispered, and then I slowly started going up. My heart was racing, I reached up and clutch the bluebird necklace, "Stay strong out there," I could hear Felicity in my head. Then… I surfaced, the first thing I noticed were the trees, we were in a wooded arena, like they had almost every year.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five four…" The gamemakers voice came over the speakers.

I tensed up, "Three… two…one," a cannon exploded, and then I took off running.

YES! This chapter was very rushed but I really wanted to get to the action, I will be updating reallllyyy soon!

Yours truly,
