This is all 7 days of training. Short, but shows a little bit more of the characters and what alliances are formed. A few romances as well….
Enjoy!
Training Day 1- Esa
I would not go towards the knives. I would NOT go towards the knives.
Instead I would focus on other things, like starting fire or actually knowing what I could eat.
My hair was down again, and I was wearing this unflattering black jumpsuit. It was worth it though to see Sparkles pulling at his uniform like it was toxic.
I tried to stay away from the others while I worked. Hide my skills, don't make any ties to anyone I don't want to hurt.
Training Day 1-Asher
I began showing off anything I could. Spear throwing, knot tying.
Whenever the fire starting station successfully made a fire I had to look away. It wasn't my fault. I didn't know. I should've know.
Hazel…
No. An abandoned house shouldn't have anyone in it. She shouldn't have been there in the first place. It was 3 years ago.
I turned my thoughts to Baila and threw another spear.
Training Day 2- Rigel
I had an ally already. Kyrie. When I asked what he could really do, he shot a target dead center with an arrow. He's trying to hide his skills though, to make him seem like less of a threat.
Kyrie and I agreed that we would work on survival tactics. My eyes were drawn to the hand-to-hand station where Seraphin was slowly learning how to take down people. She was picking it up rather quickly, too.
She saw me watching me. As she walked closer I was mesmerized by her wide violet eyes.
"I like the constellations." She said. All I could do was smile at her.
Training Day 2- Ryea
They'd cut my hair a little bit. It only brushed my elbows now.
I was trying to learn a weapon. I was getting okay at the very shiny little knives when Kate walked over to me.
"Hello." She said pleasantly. I just nodded; it was all I could do anyway.
"I like you. You seem really nice, and I don't care that you're an Avox." She said this all very matter-of-factly.
When she corrected my hand position, I knew for a fact I had an ally. It was the first time in two years I had anything close to a friend.
Training Day 3- Aurora
I watched Nick flirt with all the girls. It almost made me laugh.
My arrows whizzed one after the other, straight into the dummy's vital organs. Autumn was next to me, sword fighting a dummy. He ended up decapitating it with a smooth swipe.
Nick approached me soon. "You're pretty good at that." He said.
"I try." I responded. He grabbed me by the waist and spun me to look at him. For a second, I was swimming in his hazel eyes. Then I pushed him away, laughing, and turned back to my archery.
Training day 3- Sparkles
These outfits were horrible! What was I, District sludge?
Maybe if they put some sparkles and tightened and loosened certain spots.
I painted over my face with 'in' colors. Blue and purple. This was undoubtedly the best way to spend my week.
Training Day 4- Persephone
These outfits were horrible! I suppose it didn't matter though, everyone else was stuck with them too. I threw a few knives lazily, sitting down.
Then I went over to the jungle gym and just went in and out of the bars, showing off my flexibility.
None of these idiots would ever see me coming.
Training Day 4- Kyrie
I was with Rigel and his new girlfriend, Phin, at the edible plants station. We only had 3 days left to master these things. Phin picked them up pretty quickly though.
Ali was becoming good friends with Seraphin and managed to get into our alliance.
I liked having her around. She was nice and kind. Maybe these Games wouldn't be so bad after all.
Training Day 5- Emerald
Okay. Building a tent could be important. Gathering food definitely would be. What haven't I done yet?
I went over to hand to hand, picking up a few useful notes while appearing amateur. Good. That's what I had to do.
I didn't have any allies yet, which was sad, but I might not ever have any.
Just to keep myself happy, I went to the camouflage station and painted designs on my hands again.
Training Day 5- Scotty
Oh yeah. Lifting this much was sure to get me chicks. Maybe I could get a few days out of some stupid Shack babes before moving on to better things.
I still had a few days to convince them all of my pure amazing-ness. They would all fall for me soon.
Training Day 6- Indigo
I don't like people. But I had an ally. How Kialani thought I would be a good ally, I wasn't sure. I'd been hiding my weaknesses by doing nothing too impressive.
She was only 14, but we both shared a common skill. Knives. We would be a deadly pair when armed.
1 day left, and I felt ready.
Training Day 6- Nolan
I was a pro at first aid and snares now. I could get by on edible plants. Weapons weren't necessarily my thing, but I could survive anyway.
I was alone with no allies. Indigo and Kialani were destined to make my life hell in the arena, I could already feel it.
1 day left, I could only hope I was ready.
Training Day 7- Ali
The last day of training. My pendant glowed dimly with excitement and nerves.
Seraphin and I made good partners. Her boyfriend Rigel was nice and strong too. Kyrie was smart and fast, picking up easily the survival skills we would need. And me? I brushed up on a few weapons for a brief period so not to cause distraction then spent my time at the tactic stations as well.
I had a good feeling about these games.
Training Day 7- Braxlin
I had been watching them all very closely. I worked to blend in and appear as nothing special. They would regret not noticing me in the end.
Indigo and Kialani were both strong, but not loyal to each other. Aurora and Autumn had gotten closer, strictly friends, and Nick kept lurking around them. I smelled a future alliance.
With all the training and learning they were doing, I would have the last laugh. I would win the Hunger Games.
Next will be the Private Sessions, probably in Posy's point of view because I rather like Posy. Did your view on anyone change? I wanna know!
This is short because I want to hurry up to the Games.
Once again, what you get your tributes now is what they get at the Cornucopia and here are the current points.
