Chapter 6

Training Day 2

"Cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

We're all of us stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see us some day
Just take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out"

Stop Crying Your Heart Out - Oasis

Malik Stevens' POV District 9's Male Tribute

"Training Floor" says the robotic voice in the elevator. Another day of training, just one day closer to my imminent death. I think we're the last to arrive, but I then realize that the pair from 11 hasn't arrived yet. Rylie and I head over to our allies, Darren from 3 and Evan from 6. We're the youngest in the whole competition, I guess it's a bit odd that we ally together. But it's not like any of the other tributes would take us as allies anyway, and we wouldn't make it too far on our own, this is probably the best way to go. Who knows? Maybe one of us might make it out of here, I sincerely hope so.

The pair from 11 joins us and we enter the training center. We directly start training and my alliance heads over to the climbing station, I've never tried climbing before, this will be interesting. After 15 minutes of learning a bit of theory, we're allowed to climb. It doesn't go very well, Rylie and Darren end up falling off the wall. We decide to move on, we try out the knife station and learn some basics with knives. Evan and I are quite good at this, but Darren and Rylie not so much, so Rylie moves on to the dart station and Darren heads over to the traps station. I guess it's better if we all learn different skills, that way there'll be more of a variety of skills in our alliance. I slash a dummy a few times successfully. Satisfied, I move on to another station. As I leave the knife station, I see the boy from 1 destroy a dummy with a mace, once he's done, there's not much left of the dummy. That gives me the shivers. I also watch his district partner, Claire I think she was called, chop a dummy's head off with a curved sword. Yeah, I probably should reconsider the whole "maybe one of us will win" theory. I head over to the traps station, where Darren has made a trap that covers the enemy in a net. Oh wow, I probably should let him learn for a while, he's a quick learner. I think I should try out the bow and arrow station. Not bad, I manage to land around 70% of my shots on the dummy, the girl from 10 joins me, if I thought I was good, well then she's much better. She doesn't miss. All of her shots hit fatal areas of the dummy. That really is impressive, she's not even a career! I practice a bit more in the bow and arrow station until the bell goes off for lunch. As I walk over to get my lunch tray, I hear myself panting. Oh wow, I really have worked hard.

Dale Alderman's POV District 4's Male Tribute

I walk over to Iris that comes from the bow and arrow station before grabbing my lunch tray.

"Everything's going as planned, the careers think I'm on their side. We need to figure out a plan for the cornucopia, so meet me at the roof tonight." I whisper to her in her ear, she just simply nods. I grab my lunch and sit next to Claire.

"So, how are you guys finding the competition?" asks Melissa.

"Pshh, they're no big deal, I think the younger tributes are trying to form an alliance or something." Responds Claire mockingly.

"Oh really? Wow how sad."

"I know! I think it contains the boys from 3 and 6 and the pair from 9. It's a bit ridiculous, they were at the knife station earlier, and they completely failed." She continues.

"Okay, do we know any other alliances or possible threats?" asks Melissa once more

"There's a girl's alliance. It's the girls from 3, 5, 6 and 8, I think. They don't look extremely strong, but they seem smart." Sophia answers. "I think we should focus on taking them out during the bloodbath, the weaker ones will die with time they're not so important." She continues, she's got a point. It makes me wonder, is Iris one of the so called "weaker ones" I'm pretty sure she's referring to Evan's alliance, but Iris is still only 14, while the tributes in that alliance are 13, she's just on year older. It's probable, but Iris isn't weak, I know her skills, and I've already got a plan planned out for the cornucopia. She probably doesn't trust me yet, but I'll talk to her tonight, hopefully this'll work out, I really can't stand the careers.

Mai Kilson's POV District 6's Female Tribute

"I think we're doing pretty good, can you guys estimate what scores you'll get?" Lillian asks. Wow, she's already worrying about scores? I guess I should too, the Gamemaker sessions are tomorrow, this makes me wonder what I'll show them. I should probably go and practice at the stations I'm best at after lunch, so I can improve the score I'm going to get tomorrow, hopefully.

"I'm estimating a 7 for myself" says Silvia. Yeah, I'm probably at the level too, maybe an 8 if I really try.

"Alright, that's good, that's probably what I'm gonna get too. It's a good score, I think we should-" she's interrupted by the bell going off indicating that we can get back to training. We all head off to different stations. I head to the knife throwing station, to my surprise; I wasn't bad at knife throwing at all yesterday, that's why I'm coming back here today. I warm up a little and get training. The girl from 4 joins me. She attempts to intimidate me, and to be honest, she does a little, but I'm not giving in that easily. I'm not like the other tributes, which will walk away from the stronger careers. Even though I have to admit, this girl knows how to throw knives! She's amazing! I'm not so bad either though, I hit quite a few fatal spots on the dummy, but she hits the heart every time. After an intense hour of just knife throwing, I move on to the climbing station. I also do very well. After all, these are the stations I'm best at. I move on to the knots and snares station. I make a few simple traps and even learn a new one. I then proceed to the edible plants station. I don't do so well in this one, I score 77%, which is okay, but not great. I do have a great variety of skills so far though. Maybe if I improve in this station I could get an 8. I decide to continue learning all the edible berries by going through the booklet a dozen times. Next time I try I score 88%, so 10% better than last time, I can still improve. I'm feeling confident for tomorrow.

Braydon Serre's POV District 5's Male Tribute

I walk over to the boy from 10, which is training at the knife station. This can be a good chance at an alliance. But I have to show him my skill first. I take a knife and stab it into the dummy's stomach, I then stab it repeatedly on its chest. I look over at him, he doesn't look very impressed, but I decide to talk to him now anyway.

"You're pretty good with a knife I see." I say looking at the dummy he destroyed. He doesn't reply.

"There's a lot of alliances this year, it would be bad if went into the arena alone huh?" I continue

"If it's an alliance that you want, then you're not gonna get one with me." He replies coldly and walks away to another station. Well that didn't work very well. What was his deal anyway? Why wouldn't he want an alliance? I don't get it. I walk off to the spear station where the boy from 4 is practicing. I ignore the trainer trying to give me tips and head straight to it. My spear completely misses the dummy and lands on the floor right in front of it. I hear a girl laughing. Crap, should've listened to the trainer. I need to do better. This time the trainer stops me and gives me some advice. Next time I try, I improve. I actually hit the dummy, but I hit it in the leg. That still earns me a few laughs from the careers. It's getting annoying. They're just standing there, mocking me. I grab the spear angrily from the trainer for the third time and as I get into my throwing stance, I hear a few more laughs from their general direction. I lose control of my body, next thing I know, I've thrown a spear at the 1 girl. It misses her by an inch. She falls back in shock. I see everyone's in shock and surprised and I hear some of the Gamemakers screaming. Everything happens in a blur, my escort and my mentor are yelling at me when I snap back to reality. I just get up and leave to my room. Have I even had dinner? I don't care. I hate this, and I'm not going to sit there and listen to what my stupid mentors and some stuck up escort have to say about my behavior. That girl deserved it. I close my eyes and let sleep consume me.
