"F-f-Fin m-mm-mayb- maybe I shouldn't g-g-go today." I stumbled over my words, as I was forced out of the elevator and into the training room. Yes I was nerves but you would to, seeing as I was going into a room of trained elite victors, four of which who want to kill me.
I knew about them all they do, and what they can do and that means there's a signal of danger all over this room.
I had Fin, and Johanna was nice… although when it came down to it, I would be the first one to go. Seeing as they don't know me and wouldn't kill there friends right away.
"Come now said I will protect you." he said, that grin that was slowly beginning to work on my nerves.
"H-h-ho-how do-woo- you k-know." I stuttered.
"Have I ever lied to you before?" He pouted, crossing his arms.
"No, but there's a first time for everything." I told him stubbornly walking back towards the elevator, only for him to pull me back.
"Oh no, your coming with me can't have you running off now do we." he said, taking my arm, and leading me into the training center fully.
As we make our way inside, I looked around and caught sight of peeta off to the side chucking spears with Brutus and chaff, and katniss over at the knot-tying station.
"Cover as many stations as you can." he told me, with a Serious look that I never seen before. "Alright." I said, quietly.
"Good." he said, a grin once again plastered on his face as he headed over to the knot-tying station where katniss happens to be. I give a chuckle heading to the swimming course, seeing as I need to keep in shape more then ever. The pool was specially designed for water works, you set it for, hard, median, or easy pressure to work against the on coming water pump.
I set it on hard seeing what I could do, and it was like a typhoon I just barley managed to get midway.
"Not bad, Mar." said Johanna coming to sit on the edge of the pool, naked and oiling her skin down, for a wrestling match, which I tried to avoid my gaze.
"Mar?" I questioned her, a small smile on my face. "Ya your nickname." she said, a smirk on her own face.
"Since you gave me one your nickname will be… I had to think for a second... Jo!" I finally settled a little disgraced for not coming up with something better.
"Never had a nickname before." Johanna said, dangling her feet in the water.
"Neither have I." I told her, making us both chuckle.
"I still have that promise to teach you to throw an axe now don't I?" she said, a wicked grin on her face, that startled me just a bit.
"y-yyy-yes" I squeaked out, head bobbing in the water.
Somehow I found myself at the axe station, Jo instructing me how to throw an axe three times my weight.
"Now all you have to do is Approach the target with ax in hand and rest the blade on the face of the target. Hold the ax so the end of the handle is flush with the bottom of your fist." Jo instructed making it sound so easy.
"That seems easy." I thought, slightly worried. Picking the axe up, or attempting to I got it over my shoulder that then lost grip and it fell behind me, making a crashing sound. Drawing most of the attention onto me.
Looking down in embarrassment I could hear enobaria and Brutus snicker at my attempt at throwing or trying to pickup an ax.
"No one can get it first off." said Jo, glaring in enobaria and Brutus direction with a snarl on her face.
"I don't think I can us an axe Jo." I told her, looking down. "Well what can you do?" She questioned, with a lifted eyebrow.
I perked up a little, but not by much. "Not much I can swim…which she nodded at.
:I can run for an extent of time, along with starting fires, knowing editable plant and bugs, gymnastics, and can us a rope." I finished looking down, nothing to helpful in the arena except for the swimming but with my knowledge of the arena I might just make it. Along with some of the others.
"Show me what you got." She demanded, gesturing towards a long thin mat… used for wrestling or hand to hand combat. I give her a doubted look, but she nodded her head forward signaling for me to go ahead.
I started off with a few Tuck - Single flip completed in the tuck body form.
Then worked my way up to Double Tuck - Two flips completed in the tuck body form, then Triple Tuck - Three flips completed in the tuck body form.
And finished off with a flatback full twist.
And turned on my heels, hands held high at the end. And I was meet with Jo slowly clapping, an amused look on her face. "Not bad." she said, walking up to me. "Certainly put the carrers through there paces." she said, pointing her thumb there way and when I looked towards them, they were giving me death glares.
Which I flinched at.
"Don't be scared, you got Finnick to protect you, and I will keep an eye out for you." Jo reassured, giving me a wink over her shoulder leaving me for the traner for wrestling.
"Thank you Jo." I yelled towards her, and she gave me a two finger wave in return.
I just gave a chuckle, and headed towards the knot-tying station which was vacint at the moment, as I was tying which was basically knots. A shadow or should I say shadows fell over my bent form, like in one of those horror movies.
"Oh! so the little baby has some tricks up there sleeves." said Cashmere, learing down on her.
I tried to ignore them but they kept on and on… "oh look at me I can jump, its so hard." cashmere mocked strutting around like some fashion modle, twirling around every so often.
"Better be better then that." said brutus, leaning against enobaria who was chuckling like a mad women.
I never relized what I was making out of the rope I was holding, and what I made shocked me… a noose used for hanging a person.
"What you got there?" said gloss leaning down, but stopped short once he saw the noose.
"Getting serious now are we?" asked enobaria, leaning down to my form, a sick looking grinn on her face.
I stood quickly unbalancing enobaria since she basically right in my face, noose still in hand as I made my way to one of the dummies, and began dragging it to the middle of the training center, only dropping it twice, and casing the attention to be on me once again. The victors staring at what I might do.
"Maryanne what are you doing?" I heard Fin call from the other side of the room, talking with katniss and peeta, but I ignored him paying more attention on the task at hand.
Rage fueling my fire, I finally managed to put it in place before stepping away, piper once tote me to use a rope like a cowboy/girl and I must say I was good, and I also watched phantom of the opera (I know, just had to add this) I turned around and focused on the dummy.
All eyes trancfixed on me, I threw the punjab lasso forward and it perfuctly made contact with the dumbys neck, and as I yanked on it to show it could easily strangel a person, I let go and turned slowly to each person in the room trying to gain eye contact.
"Don't count me out just yet." I said quietly, but head held high. And walked out…
~how you like… Johanna my favorite character mainly Maryanne pov from know on, except with bits and pieces of Diana before she goes into the arena (cause she's planning on rescuing cinna) and when during the break out and when they get on the rebellion plain, where she sees certain someone. So keep in touch and love me and review.
