Day 2

Luna Mortem

District 2- Pahuakuaii

"Hey Sweetie," I said to the 12 girl, "You're holding this sword wrong."

I was playing up my role as big sister to the younger tributes. It was easier than in Two because unlike most most Career kids the girl from Twelve wasn't an obnoxious little shit.

I hadn't actually done any training and I wasn't going to play up my career status, the guy from 4 was out of luck and he wasn't making it better by at least trying to talk to anyone and make himself liked.

I still didn't know what to do with Nova. I couldn't exactly take her into the games but I didn't know who would take her.

My mentor offered the take her but I didn't like the look in her eyes.

"What are you thinking about Luna?" The girl asked me. I just shrugged my shoulders and went back to helping her.

If she knew how to use a weapon, chances of Pahuakuaii winning more challenges was gonna go up. I wasn't likely to be the first to die, that honour went to Damon, but I wasn't exactly likely to win unless I played my cards right.

And believe me, I would.

Aleksandra Fortran

District 3- Pahuakuaii

If there was one good thing about this predicament, no one knew about the nickname. No one knew anything about me and I was happy that way.

The red streak wasn't really noticeable in my reddish brown hair but it was still an annoyance. It felt different to the rest of my hair, slightly rough feeling. In the end I just shoved my hair into a plait so I didn't have to see it in the corner of my eye.

"Do you want some help with that?" I was attempting to use a bow and arrow. I knew it was really all about angles but it wasn't easy. I turned around to see the girl from Two.

She'd been uncomfortably helpful both today and yesterday. She was nice but it was hard to trust her.

Anyone that had watched her Reaping knew she had volunteered and people volunteered for a reason. It couldn't be a spur of the moment decision.

I accepted her help of course, I needed to get better with these weapons and I couldn't do that alone.

Waylon Wilder

District 3- Pahuakuaii

Me and one other were at the knife station. I didn't know why no one else was, I mean a knife is literally the most basic weapon.

"This weapon is easier than I thought it would be," I said casually to the girl next to me. "What if you think?"

She smirked, "I think we've made the wrong decision."

At my confusion she pointed her hand to the middle of the room where 5 people were grouped, chatting casually.

Maybe that would have been the better choice than focusing on weapons but I had socialised yesterday.

I guess Pahuakuaii was cool but I felt weird talking to the people that would likely vote to kill me.

"What's your district?" I asked, not sure if I was really curious or just trying to be friendly. She looked at me, slightly weirdly.

"11. You're the 3 boy right?"

I nodded and went back to the knife. I was trying to gut a fake animal but it was too realistic and I kept gagging.

It had beady eyes, and I wouldn't put it past the gamemakers for them to be real.

Damon Shark

District 4- Pahuakuaii

I scoffed at all the talk going on in the Pahuakuaii room. Why couldn't I be on the other team with the other careers?

Fuck, I would even accept having Half pint on this team.

I thought the Two girl would be sufficient but she's talking with all the untrained and actually trying to help them. She doesn't realise how weak she's making herself. It's stupid and sickening to see a career talking to district commoners.

I hack at a dummy with a trident, severely pissed off. What's the point of training if you can't intimidate some kids?

I glare at the blonde kid a few years younger than me looking in my direction and she looks satisfyingly scared.

I go over to the throwing knives, thank Panem the two kidding themselves they could use weapons are gone.

I get a good amount of bullseyes, 6 out of 10 and each of them end up on the target. Knives were never a weapon I enjoyed.

I decide to go over to a survival station and pick knot tying. Someone else is there but I ignore them.

However disliked I am, they won't vote me out. They need me.

Techla Fares

District 5- Pahuakuaii

I shiver at the glare the guy from 4 gives me but go back to talking in the group I'm in. The boy from 11 has loads of interesting stories and the way he told them made me think they were true.

Me, a guy called Flynn, a girl called Aspen, a girl called Tess and Allessandro are in a small group.

I'm thrilled to be talking to people that don't make it seem like they're being forced to talk to me and when I mention I bake, it turns out Flynn's parents own a bakery. He tends to only work on the till but it doesn't stop me discussing my favourite kind of flour which brings in Tess from District 9, the place my flour probably came from.

Even Aspen enjoys making bread and Allessandro often has to make his own as he couldn't just go into town and buy it whenever he needed it.

It's really interesting how one small thing can connect 5 people, all from completely different districts.

It makes my necklace feel a lot more powerful.

Kron Ustil

District 5- Pahuakuaii

I don't know how to talk to people my age.

I don't know how to stop feeling like everyone wants me dead- although that's true.

I decide to try my luck and talk to the big group standing in the middle. "Hi!" I say, too peppily. Techla smiles at me but looks confused, the only conversation we've had is when I was crying over my parents.

It's not like I'm over it but I need to work on my own survival. I can't change what has happened and I need to look forward.

"I'm Kron," I say and a few of them wave, although they probably think I'm weird and want me to go away.

I stand with them, not sure whether I should leave or not, and their chatter starts up again.

They're talking about baking, something I know nothing whatsoever about but it doesn't stop me trying to add my bit in though.

I'm just hoping I don't come across as self centred.
