Chapter 9- Train rides pt. 3

Hello again! I am so happy that all the tributes are starting to arrive at the capitol! Please give me ideas and descriptions for what they will wear in the chariot rides.

Alice Stephen (D8)

My heart was beating at a million miles per hour as I stepped onto the train. The world seemed wobbly and I wanted to try to grasp onto something. What was I going to do? I knew for sure I would die in the arena. I was pretty small and that boy named Jasper was big and had a lot of muscles.

"Alice?" A voice asked. I looked up to see the Capitol man handing me some food. "How about you have this delicious cheese danish?" He gave it to me and turned away to get himself food. I was starting to feel dizzy. I was trying my best to hold back tears.

Then, I dropped my plate. The sound made me wince. But the sound had startled me and I felt the dizziness overtake me as I fell unconscious.

Sinje Sinclette (D9)

I scowled for the whole train ride. I just hated the Capitol and their stupid games. If they hadn't been so terrible, my life would have been better. I would probably not be on my way to the arena, I probably would not have to worry about harvesting grain every day, and I probably would be richer or at least have more food. I hated everything about the capitol.

So, I decided to make this train ride the worst train ride for the capitol person escorting us. Fiona Cren. When I was served food, I chewed with my mouth open and ignored the utensils and napkins in front of me. "Please, Sinje, remember your manners!" Fiona said to me angrily. I rolled my eyes. "Since when can you tell me what I can and can't do?" I retorted. She huffed and went back to applying blush to her cheeks.

I abruptly got up from my seat and I managed to knock off a few plates off the table. I didn't look back when I heard the shatters.

When I got to my bedroom, I slammed my door shut. I grabbed one of the vases and threw them onto the floor. I wanted to destroy everything in my room. I left my bed alone since I would still need my sleep. When I had finished, The bedroom was a mess.

"Sinje? Are you okay?" I heard a knock at the door. Fiona stepped in and screamed. "Leave me alone!" I shouted. Then, I slammed the door shut.

Crystal Jakens

I slowly crunched a carrot as I thought about my odds against everybody else. I could probably survive longer if I ran away right when the gong rang. If I hid somewhere and only left my spot if I needed food and water, I could survive until everyone had killed each other off. I smiled as I plan formed in my mind. If I could just..."Crystal! Could you pass me the plate already?" I jolted out of my thoughts and realized that I was holding the plate that Cepreates wanted. "Sorry." I mumbled. I went back into my world in my head and thought more about my idea.

I couldn't get a partner or then I would probably be killed or I would have to kill my ally in the end..."Crystal!" I looked up sharply. "What?"

"Dinner's over and you still have a ton of food in your plate." I looked and saw that my plate was practically untouched. "Well I'm not that hungry." I mumbled. It was true. I didn't want to eat anymore.

I was excited to know that I had my own bedroom on the train! I closed the door behind me and looked around. It was so odd. I had been on a train to the capitol before. It was when district ten had gotten a lot of livestock meat one year and I had been chosen to help take the meat to the Capitol. The train wasn't as beautiful and elegant as this one but it still went fast. The mattress on my bed was cushy and it made me want to curl up.

I made myself fall asleep by thinking more about hiding when the games truly started.

As soon as I stepped on the train, I was in awe. The train was massive and had a dinner table all set up for us. "Is this food for us?" I asked. Leyon Foyer looked at me quizzically as he answered 'yes'. Even though I didn't like the fact that I had been chosen, I still knew I had to eat. There was so much food! I forced myself to eat slowly so that I wouldn't get sick to my stomach. The warm foods tasted delicious. By the time I had finished, I felt so full.

Angel Lehmon looked just as stuffed. "I think I need to lay down." I groaned. My bed was soft and I was able to easily fall asleep. But I woke up in the middle of the night. I was so scared. The food had distracted me. How would I survive? I was sure to be killed by someone else before I got a chance to run. I sighed. I obviously would not get a good night's rest tonight.

I was screaming my head off as two peacekeepers dragged my onto the train. "Let me go!" I yelled, trying to get free of their grasps. No luck. I kicked and writhed some more. I saw one of the peacekeepers trying to reach for a stun gun or something. That thought made more hysteria rise up inside of me. "Let go! Let go! Get off of me!" I screamed. I tried to claw at one of them. Suddenly, something sharp poked me and my struggles got weaker.

What was happening? The world in front of me suddenly began to warp and the ground swayed beneath my feet. They were drugging me! This thought gave me a sudden burst of energy and I jerked around for a few more seconds. "No..." I cried as the world slowly faded away and as I fell unconscious.
