Author's Note: Thanks for staying with me for so long! I just couldn't seem to find the time to write for a while. I hope you like the new addition, and I hope that you can tell me what I should change! I know that it's shorter than the other chapter, but I hope you enjoy it!
It seems that as soon as I get to explore my quarters, it's time to have my dinner. I'm escourted by our escourt, Lilly McFleedan, to the dinner car, where I see my brother, his friend, and the show off.
Sitting before us are our long line of victors. We have a total of ten, which isn't a bad number. The victors seem to be fighting over something, and eventually come to a conclusion. Appearently, they're fighting over who gets to be a mentor, which the youngest most recent victors have that job, and then comes who gets who. A beautiful girl who looks about my age walks up to me.
"We've decided for that I get to be be your mentor." She says excitedly. She obviously thinks that I can win. She had become a victor just the year before, so she remembers all of her strategies very well. I get a spot across her on the table, and we begin to eat the large feast before us.
"Okay, first things first, I'm Aquamarine Yaterslav." She, I mean Aquamarine says.
"I'm Emerald. Emerald Jones." I say.
"Nice name, and nice pin." She says. I remember her volunteering. It wasn't because she wanted to, but because she had to, sort of. The victors charm was an aquamarine pin, that was somewhat similar to mine.
"Thanks." I say.
"Okay, about your- umng- strategy," She says with a mouth full of roast beef. She swallows. "You always want to make good choices in your choices of allies. You don't have to choose among the careers. Actually, I'd recomend somebody from district 11, and district 4." Aquamarine finishes. I nod.
"Yeah. That way the person from district for and me would be good as guards, and so would a tribute from district 11, if they can fight. Then the district eleven tribute could teach you some edible/inedible berries and supply me with enough food." I say. She nods.
"Great minds think alike." She says. I grin for the first time today since the generator incident. Now I have some body that I can actually trust.
