Hey guys! I know no one reviewed, but I got bored so I am giving you this one free be. Only this one time though. Please review! Its what keeps me wanting to finish the stories!

Everyone thought the chariot ride went great so maybe we will get a sponsor or two. At dinner, Haymitch finally got to the strategy plan. "Okay, what are you two good at doing?" He asked. "Well, I am not that good with weapons. Well, not that I know of" He rolled his eyes. "I am really good with survival skills and I know pretty much every plant known to man which ones heal, which ones are safe to eat, and most important, which ones are poisonous." "How did you learn all of that?" He asked. "I read a lot, I wanted to become a healer when I grew up" I used past tense for a reason. " Looks Like we have our selves a egghead. Well I guess we can work with that, You need to try and learn how to use a weapon or get a ally that can. What about you Mason? What can you do?"

"Well I never have used many weapons before..." He slowly got quiet. "He is really good with a knife! You know those knifes that you throw all the time." I give Mason my best just go with it look." "Yeah that. I do that, you know because that's what I do." god I could hit my head a billion times on the table right now. "Nice try egghead. Now go to bed, you will need your rest if we have to completely start from scratch." God I could hit him right now so hard!

the next morning...

"get up its a..." I interrupt her "BIG BIG DAY. I KNOW!" "Manners!" Then she shimmies out of the room. I know that was mean, but god that felt good. My brother walks in laughing. "Looks like someone is in a good mood." Mason said between laughs. "Not funny!" Then i start to laugh. "Okay, maybe it is a little. Now we better get to breakfast before we get yelled at about our manners." "Oh no! Not etiquette! Lets go."

"Hello sunshine heard you are in a good mood. Nice going egghead." I roll my eyes at my new found nickname. "Hey, at least I know 5 times more than you do! This stuff may save my life!" I say defensively. "Oh I never said it won't save your life, but your still a egghead." My brother chokes on his orange juice because he always thought it was stupid to study this stuff. "Aww did we annoy you? Well its time to train, you can get your anger out there."

When I get there, we are late, of coarse. "Oh district 12? Finally decide to show up? Go over there you missed instructions. But, I bet you don't care, since you don't care to get here on time." I roll my eyes and go over to the bow and arrow section. I shoot and miss, of course. I hear the Careers laughing at me but I don't care. I go to the knife section and of course the careers follow me. They can't miss a good show before they kill me right? I take a knife in my hand it actually felt good in my hand. I throw it and to my surprise, it hits right in the heart. what? that can't be true its my first time! The Careers look as surprised as i do.

One of the Careers walk over to me, I think she was from district 4. She has red hair that flows when she walks and green eyes that shimmer in the light, she is pretty and innocent looking, but I know better. "Let me guess, your here to make fun of me." Yes I know, I wasn't being friendly, but i really didn't feel like dealing with career drama right now. "What? no! I came to tell you nice throw." she said with her eyes shimmering. That made me feel rude and i know i should feel that way because I was being rude. "I'm sorry." "Its fine. I'm Ginny" "I'm..." "Oh I know who you are." That was kind of creepy

"so whats your skill other than knife throwing?" Oh I see, someone from 12 may get in her way and she is trying to see my strengths and weaknesses. "Sorry don't really want to say that because, you know." "oh I get it. I was just thinking we could be allies." she said giving me a award winning smile. "Really? Why me? Why not the careers." I ask. Why would she want to be with me? "because, they just care about killing, and I really don't want to do that." "wait," I ask. "If you don't want to kill, than why did you volunteer?" "Because, my dad made me, he said that at 18 I had to volunteer or I would be a disgrace to him and our district. I couldn't disappoint him." "Okay, fine" She looked puzzled? "What?" "I will be your ally, but I will have to talk to my brother." A smile spread across her face "Thank you so much!"

Later that night...

Everyone was quiet, so I decided to break it. "I met someone that could be allies with us. "Who?" He sounded surprised that anyone would want to be our ally. "Ginny Jones" He dropped his fork in shock. "A career? Why would they want to be our ally?" "I was talking to her and she is really nice, please just give her a chance." "Wow a career that is nice, I have heard it all. Look she is just going to kill us! I am going to get some air."

Mason's pov...

I run out the door before I can get any grief from my sister or anyone else. Is it so bad that I need to think about this or at least meet the person? As I walk I hear Voices It is Ginny and the other boy from district 4. "Why are you going to be allies with a person from district 12?" "Look, I was watching her, and she is really good, she was just trying to hide it. If I just can get her to trust me and be my ally I can get rid of her and her brother in there sleep. Its as easy as that!"

My jaw drops. I know what I have to do now, get my sister away from her.

Thanks for reading. sorry about that cliff-hanger but I will upload a new chapter soon! Good night and may the odds be EVER in your favor! Review and keep the arena ideas comeing!
