I got another chapter I promise to write more when it comes to the games. I have lots of ideas for that. Just not a lot before.
After a long talk with Seeder, Chaff and the mentors from District 2 I decided to keep on survival stations yesterday. Saffron and I hit a lot of stations. Today the I think I'll be okay if I stay away from archery. While heading over to the deserted knife station, I remembered the hole near the climbing station. The trainer isn't paying much attention so I take five small knifes and climb to the hole. Putting the knifes in the hole I know what I'm going to for the Gamemakers. As we were called for lunch, Saffron and I sat together for lunch, we ate together slowly at small pieces of food. "So, what's the plan?" Saffron asked I know she's talking about the games. I don't want to talk about it here, other tributes could overhear.
"There's a rooftop garden, meet there after the scores are announced." She nods realising what I mean. We can't let the other tributes know our plan. Twenty-one tributes later it's my turn with the Gamemakers. As I walk to the doors to the Gamemakers. Saffron shouts,
"Good luck," I turn to her.
"You too," I say before turning back and walking into the room. The door locks behind me, I look up, the Gamemakers look half drunk. A few are looking at me, but as I start climbing they are look anyway and start laughing with the others. When I reach the top I find the five knifes are still there. I get into the ropes that stretch across the ceiling, grab a knife and throw it. It hits the bullseye and the Gamemakers are completely startled they don't know where I am. I throw the other four all hitting bullseyes. Then I drop down to the mat, the Gamemakers look approving. The head Gamemaker says I can go, I bow and leave.
A couple of hours later me, Odin, Seeder, Chaff, Stella, Saskia, and Odin's stylist are sitting on the sofa on our floor of the training centre. Caesar Flickerman comes on the screen and starts announcing the scores. All the careers, including Vulture, get at least an eight. I wait for a thought the training scores noticing that the District 5 boy gets a seven. Finally it gets to our District, Odin get a seven. Congratulations fill the room, which once again goes silent when I get an eight.
"What did you?" Seeder asks amazed that I got higher than Odin.
"I threw couple of knives... from the ceiling," I say, not really paying listening as Saffron's score comes up. It's a seven, I'm a bit shocked till I remember how good she was at archery.
After a long round of congratulations comes, after it's finished I head up to the roof. Saffron is waiting for me and we smile about our scores. Then she asks
"So, what is the plan?" I think for a moment
"Get whatever is close in the bloodbath then run, I'll show you where when the games start." She nods, I know she's thinking, what about I don't know.
"Should we try and weapons?" she asks, it's a good question, that I need to think for what seems like a while.
"Yes, if they're close enough, but nothing from the mouth."
I move to sit on the edge of the roof, looking down on the city that could end my live within the week. Citizens of the Capitol pass by, a few looking up at the training centre, and even few noticing me. Saffron looks at me, most likely thinking sitting here is dangerous.
"Don't worry," I say, "There's a forcefield, to stop tributes jumping." Her eyes relax and she looks at the plants then says something which brings tears to my eyes.
"There's lots of plants where to live, is it nice?" Floods of memories come to me, a smell of blossom, and the rustle of leaves, and a four note tune singling the end of the day.
"Yes," I say with a dry throat "It's really nice." She smiles and says jokingly
"The only thing we got was coal dust." She makes me smile, but we both head back to our own floors. Where I head bed tomorrow preparing for interviews, the day after that is the interviews, and then the day after that I going into the arena.
I don't want to kill Saffron (what you all know Autumn's going to win). Can't I just say Nyan Cat comes and saves her?
