Hey thanks for reading guys. New chapter here. Hope you all like it.
Don't forget to make your review. I haven't been getting many, and that really hurts my feelings. I want to know what y'all think. :-) So get it in there please.

Chapter Six: Be Seductive. Be A Career.

I walked into the training room and took in my surroundings. Marble and myself was the first two to arrive for the day, so we got to take in a good look around the gymnasium before the others arrived.

"Quite a few things to practice with it seems", I stated the obviously, to which he nodded promptly.

The others soon arrived and I could tell more then half couldn't take their eyes off me. I can't tell if this is going to be a bad thing for when I finally arrive in the arena, so I knew I would have to play up my seductive features like Lumo's told me too.

A tall black women, who looked extraordinarily plain for a women from the capitol come out and greeted us. She was bald and the only thing I could say that really defined her as being from the capitol was the fact she had large looped sparkly earrings in, introduced herself as the head trainer and Atlas".

"Welcome tributes to the first day of your training. The next three days are very important, they may well be your lifeline. Remember, while weapons are extremely important in the arena, you should take great responsibility into training yourself in the survival stations. Like shelter, for example: Shelter could well be the difference between life and death in the arena. Some rules. There will be zero tolerance on physical harm to another tribute while training. There will be more then enough time for that when you are in the arena. Anyone causing harm to another tribute, will be sedated, only damaging your own training time. If you do require some combat, we have some trainers on each station, that will be more then willing to help, but be cautious, if you cause bodily harm to them, again you will be sedated. Happy training".

As a career I was told by Lumo's I would be expected to show of my weapon training to the others in my alliance before anything else. Marble strolled away instantly and made his way over to the swords and started swinging it around furiously, the girl from district two made her way over to the long knifes. The boy from two however, made his way over to me.

"Hi", he greeted me bluntly holding out his hand. "I am Jaret", he said holding out his hand.
"Cashmere", I smiled shaking his hand weakly.
"Oh I know who you are", he winked forcing me to give a fake giggle.
"What's your weapon?", I asked cutely.
Jaret irratatingly flexed his muscles, "oh I play with anything sharp me, but I am best with swords and spears".

"Oh, I can't wait to see you fight", I gushed flicking my hair out of my face.

His district partner soon come over and eyed my up and down. "I'm delia", she grunted at me but didn't over me her hand. I eyed Marble and he took her hint and joined us.
"This is Marble", I greeted for him and he entered out little circle.

He shook the hand of the boy and offered it to the girl who shook reluctantly.

"What do you think off four?", Marble asked our new found friends.

We looked over and saw the boy was concentrating on his spears, but he clearly wasn't up to scratch. "I wonder what made him volunteer?", Jaret scowled.

"He's a career non the less", I blurted out trying to act stupid.
Delia raised her eyebrows at me with a 'what the fuck' expression.

"Well i'm just saying, like... he's a career, lets not just judge him now. Lets class him in an alliance and if he has a poor training score, just dispose of him at the bloodbath", I giggled cutely.

Delia sneered. "We'll do the same with you then shall we district one. I haven't seen your performance yet".

I let out a breathe of relief. I sounded stupid to two. I strutted over to the knifes and picked them up, I had targets of course, and one by one threw them at the red dots on the mannequins. I made sure a couple missed, I didn't want to seem to much of a threat to my alliances but I didn't want to seem like I couldn't fight either.

"Good throwing princess", Jaret winked at me to which I gave a fake giggle too.

I winked cheekily and Delia who gave me a dirty look and I made my way over to the district four boy.

"Hi there", I said making him jump.

"Hi, I'm Marty", he said holding out his hand.

I took it and shook it politely, but again weakly.

"Your a career right?", I said getting straight to the point.

"Of course", he said almost instantly making me smile.

"Great, we could really do with you in our team. But your partner?", I pouted looking for his counter-part, who was only 13, over in the knot-tying post.

Marty gave an awkward glance, "Don't worry about her. She won't be in the pack. She is no career", he said sounding sad.

Unfortunately Jaret overheard. "Your not attached are you", he sneered at him. "We will kill her".

Marty looked at him outraged and gritted his teeth, "No I am not attached, but she's home. Do what you have to. But make it quick".

I blinked as he said it. It was kind of beautiful really. He was a career, but he still didn't want to see the death off a cute young girl from back home. It's caring. I kind of wish I could feel the same way about Marble. I guess I would be normally, if he hadn't been such a dick to me.

The day was long, and as a career pack we stayed solonmly at the weapons and trained and show each other tips. While district two girl was very hostile, she did proove herself to be very useful to me. Showing me how to have better grip on larger ones, noting down I could only really do any damage with small knifes.

When finally we got to go back to the first floor, I collapsed down on the sofa, gainly glances of shock from our escort Lace.

"Oh sweety, tough day?", she asked touching up her lipstick.

I huffed. "Long, more then anything".

Lumo's and Granite finally come into the room.

First question they asked was if we had made friends.

We explained that of course we are in the alliance, minus the district four girl, who made it very clear wasn't in the gang.

"Being one down, has its advantages and it's disadvantages", Granite said shrugging.

"How so?", Marble questioned frowning.

"Advantage, one easier kill. Disadvantage, one less to take down to competition".

I nodded, it made perfect sense. I sighed.

"Make sure tomorrow you concentrate on the survival sections. You have made it clear you can all use weapons today. But you don't learn survival back home, and it is incredible useful", Granite demanded from us.

I wondered how that would go down with district two, and whether they would be doing the same thing.

"Did you flirt with the boy today?", Lumo's asked me privately before I was about to turn into bed.
I smiled knowenly. "His name is Jaret, what kind of name is that anyways? And yes, he will be easy pray?".

Lumo's smiled. "Cashmere, it will be your job to kill him. You know that?".

My eyes bulged. "What?",

Lumo's looked sympathetic. "I should have told you sooner, and for that I apologise, but there's no backing out now. I will need you to try and seduce Jaret. Make him think he is going to get laid right there and then in the arena. Make him think the capitol will love to see it. And when he is undressed and vulnerable, you attack. He won't stand a chance".

My mouth dropped open. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Do you always pre-plan deaths?".

"I try to yes", she replied shrugging.

"Do they work?", I asked infuriated.
"6 times out of 10, my tributes are given the chance and yes, they normally do".

"I'm going to bed", I snapped.
"You're going to do as I asked aren't you?".

I blinked at her. "Yes".
"Good", she replied. "Make sure you do it while you are all still one team. It will be the ultimate break up of the career pack".
