Yay another update already! I know this is short but now we have under 5 chappters until the games! Training day 3, Private Sessions, Interviews (And a special announcment ;), pre-game thoughts (maybe, say in your review whether you want these or not), then I want to do like the intial countdown for the bloodbath in a seperate chapter to the initial bloodbath. So yeah, 4 or 5 to go!
Emalyne Beatrice Poe, District 6
"Emmy, whats wrong?" Haun looks at me with his stunning eyes and I shake my head.
"Nothing, I'm fine." I mutter.
"No you're not. Emalyne, whats the matter?" Haun clasps my face in his strong hands and kisses me softly on the lips.
"You can trust me."
I know I can trust Haun, yet the words fail to come out of my mouth. How do I tell my boyfriend I'm possibly pregnant!
It was never meant to happen. We had just come home from the school dance and crept into his room. It was raining and I didn't feel like walking home so I decided to wait for the rain to stop with him. We held hands and kissed while the constant drumming of the rain pounded against his window. One thing led to another and before I knew it, we were in his bed. That night was magical, unforgettable yet it was a mistake.
My stylist told me last night. He told my mentor he wanted to take some measurements for the interview dress so I met up with him.
"Emalyne, I have some bad news." Leon begin pacing back and forth.
A small gasp escaped my lips and my heart began pounding.
"You're pregnant."
Tears stung my eyes and I began sobbing.
"How do you know?" I whimpered.
"When the prep team was preparing you, they noticed a small bump so they ran a secret ultra-sound."
I think back to it. They'd told me they were checking for any health issues.
I ran away from Leon and buried myself in covers, crying myself to sleep.
"Really, I'm OK."
Beck Crow, District 7
I throw an axe at the dummy, the sharp edges sinking into its body.
"Good shot."
I turn around and face Clancy, the boy from 10.
"I was thinking, we could team up?" He extends his hand although I'm weary about his offer.
"What about the girl from your District."
He looks at his feet and I see a tear drop form in the corner of his eye.
"She's already given up. I hear her crying last night."
I spot the blind girl sitting in at the shelter-making station. She's huddled in a ball and rocking back and forth.
I look back up at Clancy and notice a tear on the tip of his nose.
I shake his hand and teach him how to swing an axe and for once I begin to smile.
Elizabeth Soltis, District 9
I notice a pair of dark eyes peering at me from behind a pillar but as soon as I begin to walk over, they disappear.
I walk back to the knot-tying station and resume trying to make a noose.
"No it's like this." A soft voice whispers from behind me
The girl who was watching me appears next to me and takes the knot from me. Within a few seconds, she's created a perfect noose.
"How did you learn to do that so quickly?"
I'd expect the District 10 tributes to be able to make these so fluently, not a girl from 11.
"I used to study nooses." Her voice sounds pained and a tear slips down her face although she's quick to wipe it away.
"Allies." She's the one to extend the offer. She seems kind, trustworthy. Those are traits you need in the Hunger Games.
"Of course."
Chad Ivory, District 12
Max, Rubin and I walk from station to station. Naturally, we all formed an alliance seeing we're the younger male tributes. Max seems nice enough and is always smiling and Rubin seems very scared but can you blame him? We're going to be trying to kill each other in a few days!
"Awesome, whips!" Max walks up to the whips and cracks one, a loud SNAP echoes throughout the training centre. He whips bottles off a stand and turns back and smiles at us.
"Dude, where'd you learn to use that?" I ask. His features seem to drop although h answers.
"The peacekeepers are constantly cracking these."
I look away sheepishly and we all try whips. I keep getting tangled in mine and Rubin can barely make a sound.
"Lets try some swords."
Rubin and Max follow me as we go to the sword station. The careers are there and they start laughing when I pick up a sword that's nearly my height.
I try to swing it although it goes clattering on the ground. I then try a small sword and can actually control it. I swing it a few times and stab the dummy repetitively. I'm nowhere near as good as the careers, but it's a start.
Sorry for the crap ending. Anyways, please read and review! Ih, dont expect any updates for 2 or 3 days because I'm going away for the weekend :)
