SOOOOO SORRY FOR THE LONG UPADTE! Everythings been crazy with the holidays an I know this is a crappy chapter but I just want to get to the games so the rest of the chapters will be rushed. Im sorry but otherwise Im scared I might get bored and abandon this story D: Althoough I'm determined to finish :)

Otalia, Training Instructor

"In a matter of weeks, 23 of you will be dead. Survival stations are on the left and the weapons are on the right. There are 3 mandatory courses, one per day. My advice? Don't ignore the survival stations. Dehydration, exposure and infection can kill as easily as a tribute or a mutt."

I give off the slightest trace of a smile before finishing up.

"Now let training begin!"

Jenna Nightingale, District 1

Since Silver completely abandoned me the second we were told to go off, I instantly I glide towards the District 2 tributes, Zane and Star. Zane is your typical career, strong, cocky and handsome. Star is pretty enough but not stunning like me and she doesn't look to be too strong.

"So are you guys up for joining the careers?" I ask them. I decide to put on a flirtatious tone and I twirl my finger in my hair. I can see drops of drool beginning to form in the corner of Zanes mouth.

"Hell yeah! I'm kickass with a mace!" Zane roared happily. He begins flexing his arms and I direct my attention to Star.

"So what are you good with, Honey?" I ask innocently.

She looks a bit taken back but answers my question.

"Throwing knives." She snaps. I glare at her and twirl back to Zane in the most flirtatious way I know. I practically throw myself on him and my fingers trace the fabric covering his chest.

"Let's go recruit some more careers." I purr.

Adriana Landry, District 4

"So are you two interested in joining the careers."

Everything about the girl from one seems fake. Her smile, her joy and definitely her breasts.

"Yes. I know how to use a variety of weapons including shurikens, katana, tekkokagi-"

"Ok, Ok your good!" Jenna interrupts. She tries to flirt with Alden although he seems disgusted rather than mesmerized.

"I'm great at a trident and a net." Alden explains.

"Ah, a typical District 4 career." Jenna runs her hand down Aldens chest and Alden looks horrified.

"Ooooook." He murmurs.

"Now let's go get 13." Jenna announces and we all follow her.

Jade Gilmore, District 13

When the offer of joining the careers arises Ramiro and I instantly say yes. Why wouldn't you want to join them? One of them usually wins every year for god's sake!

"What about the boy from your district Jenna?" I ask.

"He left, mustn't have wanted to join us." She growls.

"Do we want anyone else from any of the other Districts?" Ramiro enquires.

"I think the girl from 5. We all saw the way she flipped off the Capitol!" We all begin looking around for the girl from 5 and spot her at the mace station. Damn, can she swing a mace!

Ramone Hallert, District 5

"We want you to join the careers." The blonde one tells me. There's no denying she's beautiful and she seems to have the District 2 boy wrapped around her finger.

I swing my mace into the dummy and its head goes flying off its body.

"And why would I want to join you?"

"Because one of us wins almost every year." I stare daggers at the District 4 boy.

"Well sucks to be you, I'm going alone." I give them my trademark, the birdy, and resume mauling dummy's.

Alden James Farrell, District 4

We stop at the archery station first. The boy from 10 is the only person there and he doesn't seem to be too bad. Hi arrows hit close to the centre each time.

"Um, do you mind?" Jenna scowls. She pushes the boy out of the way and he stumbles off towards the camouflage station.

"So who's good with a bow and arrow?" We all stare at Jenna and a few hands go up.

"Its not my favourite but I'm OK." Star says quietly. She picks up a bow and nooks an arrow before firing it towards the target. It hits the dummy right where its heart would be, an instant kill.

"Good, so we have one person who's good at a bow. At the cornucopia, grab a bow OK?" Jenna tells Star. The question sounds more like a statement then a question.

Star looks annoyed at her but walks back in line.

"How about we spend some time here so we can all shoot an arrow?" I declare. Some smiles pop up on faces and thats what we do.

Jenna's good with a bow, 9/10 shots are lethal.

Zane would rank the worst with a bow, barely hitting any kill-spots.

Star is the best, all her shots would cause a quick death.

Adriana is at Jenna's level, very good at a bow.

Ramiro and Jade are quite good. Ranking worse then Adriana and Jenna but much better then Zane.

And then there's me. I'm just better then Zane but not by much.

Oh well, nobody's perfect.

Adriana Landry, District 4

Once we leave the archery station, we head over to the spears. Jade looks like she's in heaven and she practically runs over and grabs 3 spears. She quickly launches them in succession. On hits the dummys eye, another in its neck and the last one buries itself in its chest.

We all begin clapping and Jade swaggers back to us, obviously pleased with herself.

Next to the spears are tridents and Alden walks over to them. He's amazing with a trident too. He hits the dummy right in the eye with such force, its head goes rolling on the floor.

Jade then grabs another set of spears and fires them. She aims for the arms and the 2 spears rip off its arms.

Just as Alden picks up another trident, Jenna claps loudly and whistles.

"Stop! We're allies not competitors!"

Both Alden and Jade stand back in line and we all throw some spears for a while. None of us even remotely compare to Jade and Alden.

When it's not my go, I scan the room for my weapons of choice. My eyes land on a spot in the corner with many different weapons. Ninja weapons.

Star Cyrus, District 2

"Where did you learn to use these?" Adriana lifts her head and looks at me.

"When I was younger, my dad found these at the beach." I smile kindly at the girl as she launches another katana.

"Nice aim."

"Thanks."

We both walk over to an unoccupied part of the station.

"We should form an alliance." I whisper.

"But if we leave, Jenna will target us first!" She counters.

"No, I mean like an alliance within an alliance."

Adriana bites her tongue as she debates my offer.

"OK, deal." She grabs my hand and we shake hands. Watch out careers, here we come.

I hope you like it :) Please read and review :)
