Okay this chapter will be the second day of trainng. If your tribute is not featured in training it is because they had at least one line during trainig. I will be doing the private sessions too. And for the interviews I will probably do them in Ceaser's POV.
Disclaimer: If I owned the Hunger Games I wouldn't be writing fan fiction stories.
Austin Steampuff's POV
I was going to volunteer. But then the stupid ecort had to go and pull my name out. And on top of that Liegha got picked to. She is my crush. I don't get why they picked her. Well now I'm faced with a dilemma. Either Liegha goes home or die. What should I do? Well I guess I could show off my skills to her get to know her?
"Hey Leigha want to see my sword skills?"
"As tempting as that sounds Austin I am going over to the berries station. Survival is more of a preference to me then watching a guy swing a sword around. You are welcome to join me if you'd like."
"Okay I'll come." Maybe she can be in an alliance with me. Once we are at the station I notice how she is okay with edible berries but will still sometimes confuse them with poisonous ones. I happen to be great with berries so I teach her all I know. She then let's me show her my sword skills. I easily beat the trainers and she seems impressed. I can see where this is going.
"So umm... Austin do you want to be in an alliance? I mean since we are from the same district I thought maybe we could be together. But I guess someone as strong, powerful, good, and well good at everything..." she trailed off.
"No Leigha I need you. I need someone to keep me sane." With that I bend into kiss her but instead I receive a slap.
"What the hell?" I ask her.
"Wait a second are you really so arrogant that you don't see what you've done?" All I do is look at her dumbly. "You tried to freaking kiss me. What the hell is your problem." With that she storms off.
Phoenyx Moore's POV
Okay I'll admit it I almost cried. But going into the hunger games is scary. I don't think I could win but I can at least try, right? Okay maybe I should practice my knife skills. I go over to the knife range and start throwing knives. I miss a few times but most hit a fatal area. I hear some of the careers snicker. There are 8 of them. And then there is Silk hegrey, a career that left the pack; Nathaniel Kaskill who's not interested; and Austin Steampuff. All look strong.
Maybe now that I've used my knife I should work on edible berries. Once I start at that station I make a few mistakes but the instructor helps me. He points out a few deadly berries, and ones that help with injuries. `Overall I think I did a good job. My next priority is finding out how to properly use iodine. After all I don't want to drink contaminated water. once I have that down I decide I should learn some snare.
At the snare station the instructor teaches me some basic snares along with a slip knot. It takes me a while to make one that actually works but in the end I manage. Finally I decide I'll go to fire starting. Starting a fire could be risky since it could attract careers but the trainer gives me some advice on how to make it so the smoke drifts side ways and then up.
Since there is still some time left I think I'll do some spear throwing. I take out 3 targets easily. I think I'll be fine from a distance but hand to hand combat might be difficult. So I spar with the trainer who easily disarms me. Oh well, I'll just have to hope that other than the bloodbath I won't need to do much hand to hand combat.
Nathaniel Kaskill's POV
This is stupid. They don't have a martial arts section in training. How am I supposed to show off my black belt then? Whatever. I'll just practice fighting with knives. When I get to the trainer and insist he spar with me he starts to say that I should try using the knives first.
"But you must understand before sparring you should know how to use a knife."
"Look Mister, I happen to have a black belt in karate and have trained with knives before. So let's spar."
"If you insist Mr. Kaskill."
After we start sparring I easily beat him. That's when Dessen appears.
"Hi, Nathaniel right?" I nod. "I was wondering if you would like to be in the career pack?"
"NO! I never repeat Never want to be in the career pack!"
I hide a smirk as she runs off scared.
Rye Grain's POV
Silk and Sapphire tried to recruit me for their 12 year old alliance. I said no. I don't want to hurt them. I mean I am after all going to die anyways. My brother committed suicide in the games and I intend to honor him and do the same, but differently. I don't even bother training, since I will die anyways. Really it doesn't matter. I will be gone, forgotten. The orphanage won't care. I won't have a funeral. I can't wait for these games to start. I just can't wait.
Sorry for the short chapter and delay. I had a history paper I needed to get done(I got an A+ on it. I even argued with my teacher about the way it was formatted and I still got an A+.) Anyways hopefully I will update faster from now on. Next chapter will be training day 3. If you haven't voted on the poll please do so. And I decided the order of death and the victor, but is general and could change. I had to put some tributes in the bloodbath that weren't bloodbath tributes. May the odds be ever in your favor.
