Mace Tomahawk's POV
After the Reapings, Scarlett and I were escorted to the luxury train that would take us to the Capital. Our escort, Lexius, basically just told us where our bedroom is and left us to do our own thing. Scarlett and I headed to the dining car for the gourmet capital food. It was nearly lunch time and I was starving. I got some filet and a few desserts and sat down next to Scarlett and began to eat.
"So have you trained at all? I've never seen you at the academy," I ask her.
"I didn't train at the academy. I ran away from home a few years ago and trained myself," she says quietly. She doesn't seem like an outgoing person.
"What did you train in?" I ask, curious. I want my career pack to only have the best tributes.
"Archery and spears."
Not bad, I'll have to see how she does in the training centre.
Just then, a man who we recognize from television storms into the car. His brown eyes are bloodthirsty and his black hair is combed back. His tall, muscular form can barely fit through the door.
"My name is Thor Tilam and I will be your mentor. You will do exactly as I say and one if you will win. You will only speak when spoken to and call me sir. Do you understand?" He speaks in a thundering voice. I like him. He seems serious and knows what he's doing. He would have made a great teacher at the academy.
"So what do we have this year. A volunteer chosen by the academy and a homeless girl. I know exactly which one of you will win," he says arrogantly.
"Excuse me! At least give me chance! I've trained before and I'm quite good, thank you very much!" Scarlett shouts, angry.
"Listen, girl! If you even want a shot at winning this year, you better do what I say bad don't sass me," Thor scolds.
I glare at her, Thor's right. She better prove herself, if she wants a shot.
"Alright, the first lesson for you two is to know your enemy. Turn on the television and watch the Reapings. Keep in mind who you want to ally with and who you want to axe in the bloodbath. Take notes and I'll be back." Thor swiftly turns and walks away.
Obeying my mentor, I pick up the remote and turn on the television. In district one, the boy, Marble, seemed like a good addition, but Aurora seemed like a wuss. The volunteer from three seemed alright, but not strong enough. Then there were the little kids from four. They both seemed strong, despite their small size. I didn't want to underestimate them. There was no one from five, six, or eight. The girl from seven seemed like she would make a good fighter, but there was no one else that seemed worthy. We might have to get a few weaklings or the District Four kids just to have strength in numbers.
"So, Scarlett, who do you think should be in our pack?" I ask her.
"Whoever you want, seeing how I'm not going to be with you. I'm more of a lone fighter," she responds.
"Suit yourself," I respond bitterly. Her loss, she really doesn't know what she's doing. After that, we stopped talking, now that we were officially enemies. I think about who should be in the pack as Scarlett puts her food away and leaves.
Cyra Gleams' POV
Astar really scared me. He wouldn't stop going on about who he was going to kill as we were watching the Reapings. Many of the tributes gave off an intimidating aura, especially the seven girl, both from two, and the one boy. I had made the decision to not silly and fight for myself. The betrayal of allies would hurt too much.
It seemed like Astar would be going alone too, complaining that he was too good for everyone else. But really, he doesn't seem as tough as he says he is. I mean, he's fat and can barely fit through the door. He's a sitting duck for the careers.
Our mentor Bianca Calder, or Bibs, as she told us to call her, didn't seem to like him either. I like her. She seems like a party person, but hides it behind a cold facade. She's tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. Her skin is pale and has a black tattoo of a feather on her arm.
She seems like someone who has a lot of secrets and isn't a typical bloodthirsty victor. The two of sat down and had dessert while Astar was busy watching the Reapings on a loop.
"So how do you feel about being reaped?" She asked me.
"It was all kind of a rush, I'm nervous about the games," I respond truthfully.
"I was too. Whats your fear? We can work on a way to strategize against it."
I think for a second, then an obviousness answer pops into my head.
"Wolves. When I was little, I was attacked by them and I've hated them ever since," I tell her.
"Well, you've been through more than most of the tributes I've trained. You could have a shot. At the training centre, we'll work on hunting and how about spears? You seem like someone who would use a spear." Bibs advises me.
"Sure, I guess," I respond.
"Now get some rest. It's going to be a long couple of days. I've got to go deal with that over there. I'm rooting for you!" She smiles at me and heads over to Astar. I find my way to my room and go to sleep.
A/N
Okay, so I'm doing a total of three train chapters, two tributes in each. Thank you becauseofkillianjones for Bianca and Tigergirl22 for Thor. Starting now, sponsor questions will be worth 5 points, since many people have around 400 points and it's getting a little over powered. Here's the trivia!
Who is in Katniss's team during the capital invasion in mockingjay?
Don't forget to review!
