Chapter 5
After the Chariot Rides Jaylia and the Stylist took us to our rooms on the second floor. We started dinner but after a few minutes, Cato, who was still mad went to his room. I followed soon after, unable to take the silence any longer. I went straight to my bathroom and removed any trace of my makeup, then went to bed.
The next morning I woke up to Jaylia knocking on my door and yelling, "It's time for training!"
God are all Capital people this annoying. I slowly got out of bed and pulled out my training outfit that had a giant red 2 on it, how original. When I got down to breakfast I saw Cato was already there looking to be in a better mood then last night. I sat down next to him and he gave a small smile. Enobaria, like always, got straight to business.
"Ok for training make sure you show your best skills and get powerful allies. You don't really need to worry about the survival stations if you have good sponsors. It would also be useful to weed out the weak ones and kill them early on, we don't want another Johanna Masen do we?"
Johanna Masen was a district 7 victor from a few years ago who outlasted the others by pretending to be weak and turning out to be deadly. I respect her; she's small and underestimated like me, yet deadly.
After Enobaria finished talking we started going down to training. Jaylia offered to help us find the way but honestly I've had enough of that woman, so Cato and I walk down alone in silence. It may sound awkward but were both use to being alone so we don't mind. When we got down to the training not everyone was there so we went over and talked to the district one boy, Marvel. He seemed strong and powerful so we asked him to join our alliance.
"As long as my district partner, Glimmer, can join" he bargained.
I pulled Cato out of Marvels hearing and whispered, "I don't like her" "Yeah but we want Marvel and anyways she'll attract sponsors for us,"
I grudgingly agreed and we walked back Marvel. "Ok whatever"
After we talked to Glimmer we went around and ended up with one more ally. The girl from district 4, Leena, seemed good so she joined our alliance. We tried to get the big tribute from District 11, Thresh, on our side, but he turned us down.
Everyone then gathered around the head trainer, but we had to wait because District 12 was late. Of course they think there to good to show up on time. They finally showed up and when they did they were dressed the same. I snorted quietly to myself. Pathetic.
I listened as the trainer explained the training, then it was time to start. I went straight to the knives station and grabbed the most deadly knife I could find. I knew my allies were staring at me and this was the perfect time to prove myself. I stared at the dummy and imagined that it was my sister. I suddenly remembered everything she ever has done to me and I threw my knife as hard as I could. It went straight threw her head and lodged its self in the wall behind it. I turned around and saw not only my allies amazed stares, but the whole rooms. Good now they know I'm a real competitor and I plan on winning this all.
