Any ideas? I know some of youwant to get onto the games and so do I but it means more character interaction xD Anyway, I hope this is ok, remember to REVIEW PLEASE xxx
Jet Charge (District 3)
"What are you good at?" Our mentor Tite asked us as we sat down at the table for supper. I glanced up at Yvette who looked back at me.
"Well, um, we can fight," Yvette stuttered. We didn't know whether we should tell Tite about the Mafia back in district 3, but come to think of it, Tite only wanted to help us, so we should tell him.
"We have this thing in district 3, a Mafia type thing, we train in self-defence and weapon uses," I added. Tite pursed his lips together as if contemplating what he should do with a bunch of trained district 3 tributes.
"Have you ever thought about joining the careers?" I looked at him in confusion, the careers? Don't they normally just use the district 3 tributes and then snap their necks when they've done with them? But then again, we weren't as weak as the past district 3 tributes, we could fight back. It would definitely give us time.
Yvette smiled, "I think it's a good idea, what about you Jet?" I nodded in agreement and finished the last spoonful of my vegetable soup.
"There we are then, tomorrow, spend you're your time showing off your combat skills so that the careers see how good you are. Talk to them, create an agreement and then take it from there." Yvette yawned; it had been a long day since we arrived in the capitol and tomorrow would be even longer.
"I'm going to bed," she announced. I waited until she'd left the table before I turned to Tite. He was a middle aged man, who won the games approximately thirty years ago. We only have two living victors in district 3, Tite and an old woman in her 80s.
"Yvette's going to win," I told him. He raised his eyebrows at me, I had to protect Yvette. She had to make it home.
"Not yourself?" he asked me, I shake my head sternly. Yvette had once saved me from being beaten up on a daily basis at the community centre, I owe her so much, she took me in and had given me work and she's one of the best girls I've ever known.
I've always had feelings for Yvette for as long, as I can remember. I didn't want to return home without her.
Tite smiled at me as I stood up to leave. I needed my sleep to.
"Ok, and Jet," I turned around wondering what else he had to say, "Happy birthday!" I smiled at him and left. I was nine-teen today, I was only just eligible for the reapings this year. Some people may have said how unlucky I was. If I had been born a couple of days later I wouldn't be here. But I was glad that I was here to protect Yvette.
Gideon Aspen (District 7)
The Training centre was huge. The Numbers of the districts were out on the floor; Terra and I went and stood on the ones that said '7'. The instructor came and laid out the rules of training.
When he had finished everyone rushed to the different stations. Terra looked at me for a second before going off to the knife throwing. I needed to talk to another district, my brother suggested speaking to the Careers but right now it seemed the district 3 tributes were speaking to them.
I noticed the district 10 tributes over at the knot tying, so I headed over in that direction.
"Hey," I smiled at them, the two of them smiled back at me.
We had a laugh trying to tie the knots, none of us exceeded in it and none of us completely failed at it, I liked these people. They were nice. I spent the rest of the day with them. We ended up agreeing on an alliance. There was something about Tansy which made me think she was a strong contender in these games.
Floss Stone (District 6/Capitol volunteer)
I could feel everyone's eyes on me. This was the first time they could get a proper look at me. I wondered if they were shocked at how normal I looked. I wasn't wearing any make up and I was wearing my training gear so the only thing that could possibly have shown that I was different was the pink highlights in my hair.
I hadn't done anything in training. I knew from their faces that they thought I was a weakling and that I would die in the blood bath. I had to prove them wrong.
I kicked my leg up and it hit a dummy straight in its face sending it to the ground. I noticed one of the careers eyes widen on me. I'm a dancer so I'm extremely flexible and can kick the highest out of all the other dancers I know.
I noticed the boy from 1 staring at me. When my eyes caught his, his flicked away, I smiled and walked over to him.
"Hello," I said. His eyes flicked up at me, his eyes were a strange Green-brown colour.
"Hi," he whispered in a quiet voice. I tried to think back to his reapings. This was the boy whose Grandfather collapsed when his name was called.
We talked for a bit, he was actually a really nice and sweet boy, he didn't seem at all disturbed by the fact I was from the Capitol.
"Why'd you do it?" He asked me, "Volunteer? You had a choice," his voice was still quiet but he didn't appear as shy as before. Why did I do it?
"Well, I," I stuttered, " I felt that it wasn't fair, a twelve year old girl being sent off to her death and, her sister was right, I would have been a coward if I didn't save her." The boy, whose name I learnt was Wade, smiled. Had I done the right thing? Was saving the young girl the right thing to do in the eyes of the tributes? I hoped so.
As the days went by, you could see the alliances being formed, the Career alliance had grown tremendously; Griffin, Wade and I had made an alliance, the two from 10 and the boy from 7, some others stacked in their pairs, whilst some were still alone. We wanted more in our alliance; we would probably pick some people up at the interviews or in the arena if we ran into people. We had thought about the district 2 girl but we were still debating about her.
I felt much more confident about the games now, I still knew that I wouldn't win but I felt like I wouldn't die and still be hated by the districts.
Finley Crystal (District 4)
I bit my nails as Sean was called in, it was my turn next. Ok, I can do this; I have trained to do this my whole life. I wished Sean luck; I would be staying with him quite a long time so I hoped he would do well. We'll need sponsors. We've joined an alliance with the Careers but I had a plan to get rid of them soon. The only person I wouldn't kill off in my plan would be Sean, until the end.
Sean walked in and I was left with all of the lower districts who didn't seem all too special. A few of them might be a little tricky.
When my name was called I felt everyone's eyes on me as I stood and walked into the training room. The game makers were watching from a box above, eyes fixed on me. I gulped and headed for the traps and began making them. This interested the game makers as I made my complicated traps. When I looked up they were nodding in approval.
Show them your fighting skills, I told myself; I grabbed a trident and took out a few dummies.
My time was over before I knew it. The Game makers dismissed me. I had done all I could do now.
