Hi I would have updated sooner but I have my reasons. I was in my schools science fair and got 20th place out of 75. I was in a debate tournament on Saturday. I got 2nd and 4th place! So i didn't find much time to write. My grandparents are also visiting. I know it isn't an excuse but I was busy. 4 more things.
1. Check out crypto149's syot story, he needs tributes see his profile page for info. And please submit a tribute to district13.111's story to.
2. If you like hunger games fanfiction I recommend the 73rd hunger games by cloved.
3. I will now be doing review replies at the end of each chapter because I love it when people review.
4. Sadly the hunger games is copyrighted so I don't own it. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Lee Bengerson's POV

I casually walk into the training center. Stop it Lee you are not cool. You are dead meet. I won't win. I won't get sponsors. I get it. I wouldn't want to sponsor myself. I mean I screamed like a little girl at the reaping. That's not exactly a good way to win sponsors. Well maybe if I get a really good training score I will. LEE! You are not going to get a good training score. You may be able to use a spear but not very well. That's when I realize the game makers are all staring at me.

"Um... Hi I'm Lee Bengerson from district 5."

"Yeah we know." says a gamemaker.

"Right then. So I am gonna use a spear." With that said I walk over to the spears. I pick one up and throw it at a target. I hit it in the leg. I throw a few more spears at targets again they all make it but nothing fatal. I pick up one last spear and hurl it across the room it is about to the hit the heart but then it curves and misses.

Phoenyx Moore's POV

Once I am in the training area I jog over to the knives. I pick one up and throw it. It hits the bulls eye. I repeat this. I am pretty good and I know that. Unfortunately only the first one is a bulls eye. I always hit the target but not the bulls eye. I don't care. It doesn't matter if I get a low score. If I get a low one I will be left alone. A higher one means sponsors but it also means you are a target. So my goal is to get a 6 or 7. High enough for sponsors and low enough to be left alone.

I move over to the spears. I keep throwing the spear. I then decide to miss one or two and finish. I take a deep breath and throw it hard and fast. It drops at the last moment and hits the head. Not what I was going for. So I throw 3 more and make sure to miss all of them. When I am done I walk out with pride and "shame". Not I am awesome. I missed those last 3 to get a 7.

Nathaniel Kaskill's POV

When I walk into the training center I wave at the game makers. Before I start my actual showing I decide to give them a speech.
"I am Nathaniel Kaskill from distict 6. I volunteered for my crippled cousin. He would have stood no chance. I have a black belt in karate and will now prove it to you." I then ask for a volunteer. When an avox is sent up I do something I probably will regret later. "COWARDS! None of you are willing to fight an 18 year old but you are willing to send 23 kids to their death. COWARDS!" I then start kicking and punching the avox. The avox soon falls to the floor.

Once the avox falls I grab some knives and start throwing them at the avox. I am now their. With the knives I start stabbing the avox. Once the avox is dead I smile and say "now don't you ever forget me and think of me as just another tribute for I am Nathaniel Kaskill karate master!"

Phlox Astridei POV

Once Nathaniel enters I think it will be my turn soon. But I as wrong. It's been 45 minutes and I haven't been called yet.

"Phlox Astridei" Finally! I am a mean green killing machine. Though I don't appear so. My angle: Appear weak but then become bloodlust. Maybe even join the careers. I can't wait. I walk in and pick up a bow. The bow is my favorite weapon. I shoot some bulls eyes. I then go over to the other stations and do awful at everything else. I then get a knife and spar with it. I am actually awesome with it but I pretend to be horrible. I then ask the game makers to give me a 6. Then without being as my escort would say dismissed I walk out.

Spruce Dejack's POV

When I am finally called in to do my private training I pick up a couple of ax's and casual throw them. I hit 5 different bulls eyes. I then ask them if they could put on peace keeper helmets. They all do so. I pick up some axes and throw them at their heads. They all hit the helmets. Just like at home. I smile at that memory and then ask if I could fight the sword trainer. He walks in with a sword and is in armor. I pick up a good sized ax and smirk.

We then begin to fight. I start on the defensive side and then get the upper hand when he misses. I immediately get up and swing my ax at him. He is now on the defensive side. I disarm him and then pin him to the ground with the ax at his throat. I claim him dead and tell the game makers I'm done.

Rory Lockeheart's POV

After what seems like forever my name is called. I walk into the area and try to look strong. I go to the climbing area and climb to the top. I then climb around onto the ceiling and an awesome idea pops into my head. I smile. This is gonna be good. I climb around some more to make sure the game makers are board. I then go around behind them and jump down. I land gracefully behind them.

I then go up behind one of them tap his shoulder and say hi. The look on his face was priceless. First he jumped like 20 feet and then saw me. His face showed hate, anger, surprise, and laughter at the same time. He then tells me to leave. I listen and run out.

Randor Pencyn's POV

Inside the room the first thing I do is talk to the game makers. "Now let the fun begin." I walk over to the archery station, grab a bow, a quiver of arrows and I go over to the knives and grab some knives. I climb up to the top of the climbing area and hang upside down. Once I'm upside down I throw the knives and shoot arrows. They all hit the targets. I then very quietly get down.

One of my many talents is my stealth. Once I am down I sneak into the game makers office and sit down in a chair. I then start eating the pig that came out. Finally the game makers realize I'm missing. I say to them. "So you don't notice that I'm missing and sitting eating pig, but you do notice the fact that Micha shaved? Wow. That is pathetic."

"You ate the pig and were sitting here this whole time?"

"Yeah pretty much."

"You are dismissed." I shrug and leave.

Willow Anner's POV

When I hear my name and the door opens I do my signature mid-air double backflip to enter. I land perfectly. Then I sprint over to the knives station, pick up a bunch of knives and throw them while doing more mid air double back flips. Once I have aced that I decide to show off my intelligence and survival skills. I make my way over to the berries station and ace the test. I do a couple of more things and then move on. On top of being the smartest tribute in the arena I am good enough with knives, can do double back flips, am good at climbing, and am fast.

With that thought in mind I think I will do some climbing. I run over to the climbing wall and scale it. At the top I throw more knives straight at dummies hearts. They all make it. That should be good for a 7-10. I smile and leave. I am only 13 but with my smarts, agility, speed, climbing skills, and knife skills I might actually win this thing.

So yeah if you want some advertisement for an SYOT story if you have one pm me and let me know. Next chapter is the rest of the private training.
