Odd transition, from longest chapter yet, to shortest. Anywho, I'm sorry for any spelling and grammer, I stink blah blah blah. Please review, you know... Now (insanely short), chapter 10
Chapter 10
Glimmer
"1 female," an automated voice called. I got up out of my seat and headed over to the door to the training center. I heard someone behind me call good luck and turned to see the girl from 12 smiling at me. Beats me why they even let her in the alliance, she's from 12, they stink (literally).
I entered the center, "Glimmer Jaberwok, district 1." Tributes had to introduce themselves before starting, so Cashmere had told me in the morning. I knew I couldn't do too well, but I was hoping for at least an eight. I'd worked hard to be able to use a bow.
I grabbed one of the metal ones and notched one of the metal arrows. I pulled back the string and aimed at the nearest target; I'd get warmed up with that first. I shot at the target and hit the bulls-eye. I smiled and notched the next arrow. I tried to move as fast as I could, while still hitting the target. I wasn't as good as Clove, but I was ok.
I finished and they dismissed me to go back to the apartment. I entered and was immediately bombarded with questions from Cashmere. "How did you do? What did you do? Did Cato and Clove let you into the alliance?"
I took a deep breath, but answered all her questions. "I think I got an eight, I shot, and yes they let me in."
She smiled and patted me on the back, "Nice job, for having no prior training."
"Yeah, it was ok," Marvel called from the living room..
"What do you mean ok?"
"I probably got a nine or ten."
"What did you do?"
"What kind of question is that? Oh right, you've never handled weapons before so you wouldn't know any others. That's actually kinda sad, everyone in the district knows I'm the best at throwing spears," he explained.
I shrugged and plopped down on the couch. Our living room had tapestries hanging on the walls and odd patterns on the couches. It was odd, but I guess it was supposed to represent the district.
"How do you think Cato and Clove did?" I asked after about an hour of watching capital propaganda on the TV.
"I don't know, but we're about to find out," he said as the anthem boomed and they flashed a picture of him on the screen.
Did I mention insanly short? Yeah, really sorry about that. I wanted to show Clove's session as well so I had to end it there... PLEASE review! I REALLY apperacte everyone! Next chapter will be longer, I promise!
THANKS
