Chapter 6
The second day I decided I've proved myself enough and I should keep an eye on the other tributes. I first watch the tributes from 3 and i'm unimpressed. Leena's district partner is ok but Leena says he'll be easy to kill. From district five I watch the Foxfaced girl and see she's not great with weapons buts great with survival skills. Her district partner will probably be killed in the bloodbath. I'm not worried until i get to district 11. Thresh will defiantly be a problem. He's bigger then Cato, super strong and knows a lot of survival skills. The little girl from 11 may not be a threat, but if she can make it past the bloodbath she has a chance of surviving because she's small and fast, but im not very worried about her. Then I get to district 12. The girl, Katniss so far has stayed away from all weapons and some people might think she just can't do anything, but I see her eye keeping going back to the bows and arrows. I don't know why but I have a feeling shes going to be trouble. Her partner, I forget his name, so far as showed himself to be great at camouflage and really strong, but Cato and Marvel can take him. I'm still not worried.
After another day of training it was time for the Gamemakers private evaluations. I know were in good shape. Cato's amazing with a sword, Marvels good with a spear, Leena can use basically any weapon and Glimmer is "good" with a bow and arrow, but we all know her looks are her best weapon.
The gamemakers always call the tributes in order of their districts and since the girls always go before the guys I will be going third. First goes Glimmer I wonder what she will show them, probably fail at archery and then bat her eyelashes and hope for a good score. Then when shes done Marvel goes in. He will probably throw some spears and lift some weights. A few minutes after Marvel, I'm called in. I walk in with confidence and go to the knife station without even acknowledging the gamemakers. I load 5 knives into my belt and stand far away from the dummy while the gamemakers gaze curiously at me. I again imagine the dummy is my sister. I never go for the kill shot first, what's the fun in that. My trainer says I like to "play" with my food before I'm done. The first knife I throw takes off the right arm, then the left and then both legs. The gamemakes look impressed, but I'm not finished yet. I go up to the torso of the dummy (which is all that's left) and carve CLOVE in big letters across the chest. Then I go back to throwing distance and throw my last knife straight through the heart, finally finishing her off.
When I turn around some of the gamesmakers look impressed while others just look scared. The head gamemaker then excuses me and I leave feeling happy with myself and wishing that dummy really was Hollis.
