This time me and Michael are one of the last ones to make it to training. We spent most of the first day doing some camouflage and survival, learning how to fix each other up in case one of us gets hurt. Of course we are going to be in an alliance together, if we are going to die then we'll do it together, in the best case scenario only one of us lives. Me and Michael both go to the weapons station. I look at a few weapons I might like, Michael immediately goes and picks up a glaive and starts testing it out on a dummy, he actually does pretty well with it, managing to spill it's fake but very realistic guts all over the place.

Could I really see myself doing that to a person?

I turn and look at some weapons, I see a sword so I just decide to try hacking some dummies with it but it just doesn't feel right. As I'm swinging I see the boy from District eight walk over, he's shaking like it's winter and he picks up a knife with a shaky hand and looks at it. He noticed Mike's blood covered glaive and looks frightened. I remember seeing hi reaping tape, he cried and bawled as the peacekeepers dragged him into the justice building. I see the strong careers who are bullying the little district nine girl at the moment by laughing at her as she fails to start a fire and realize I want this boy to team up with me and Mike.

"Hey." I say to him and he looks up at me.

"H-hey."

"My name is Ayakon and this is my brother Michael. What's your name?"

"M-my name is R-ryan Hitch."

I smile. "Say, Ryan would you like to team up with me and my brother?"

He smiles and nods. "Y-yes please."

Alright, I think that should be fine.

I've been working in the hand to hand station. Using my strength to my advantage. The instructor shows me a bunch of grapples and joint locks, I would definitely cause a bunch of pain to tributes in the arena with these techniques; although it will be hard if I'm unarmed and they're using swords and spears. In addition to this some of the careers are just so much bigger than me. Like the boy from District two or the boy from one. Although I haven't really heard much from him.

I decide to go to the edible plants section even though I know this stuff. However before I can start identifying stuff I see a... commotion. It's involving the boy from four, Thaihele and the boy from seven. I go to get a closer look and see that the boy from seven and the boy from four are just about ready to fight each other right now.

"Piss off man. It ain't good to pick on little kids."

"Fuck you poor boy. It ain't none of your business."

The boy from four (I think his name was Percy or something) shoves him. The boy from seven (I remember his name being Cyrus or something) then turns red and looks ready to punch him, botyh his fists clenched. However before anything can happen I see the boy from District two come over, come to think of it those two have been getting pretty friendly with each other.

"Oi, don't make me punch you." He snarls.

"You guys are sick, just because this little girl from eleven couldn't throw a knife you guys think you can pick on her like playground bullies."

"Fuck off." The boy from four snarls.

At this point Cyrus shoves the boy from four, the boy from two slams his fist in Cyrus's face and thent he trainers have to get involved, all restraining the three intimidating boys. "Watch, in the arena I'm gonna fucking spear you in the heart."

They are then taken to separate stations.

I go up to Thai (who looks pretty shaken at this point). I can't leave her alone with these careers. "So erm, would you like to maybe chill with me in the arena? We'd both me useful to each other." Thai then smiles and nods, at least I won't be alone in the arena. We then go to lunch and sit together.

After lunch I go over to the bow and arrow stations. I haven't really tried it but I guess I'll give it a shot. I take a bow and an arrow and the instructor shows me how to do it. I then decide to try it for myself, I shoot at the dummy and hit it in the arm. Not too bad I guess. I try it again and hit it closer and closer to the heart but it's still difficult, I can't shoot it at a split seconds notice. When I manage to sink my arrow into its head I'm tapped on the shoulder.

I spin around to see that boy from five who everyone thinks is 'good looking' and that girl from five. The boy is called Ari I think and the girl is called Britan. They seem to be in some sort of alliance together I guess. "Hey, you seem to be a pretty good shot." Ari says to me with a grin.

I shrug my shoulders. "It's really my first time." I confess and put the bow and arrow down.

"Well we need someone with your skills so would you like to join up with us?" Ari asks, Britan just looking at me. I remember how Britan volunteered for her sister and I want to be with someone that brave. Maybe I can bring some light into this alliance. "Sure I guess." I say with a grin. At least I won't be telling jokes to myself in the arena.
