The 5's Training day one
Arin Gilligan DF5 15
Before we get in the elevator, Brax and I are both quiet, but we already established that we will work best together so that's good. I can't let him know about the deal I made with his mom, if he lives then I guarantee the safety and well being of my dear sweet Kassidy. She means everything to me and has always been there for me, this is my goal, my last goal, is to give her the best life possible and I will, even if it's the last thing I do.
I'm just thinking when Brax and I enter the elevator. I thought it would be empty but there is the boy from 7 I think, he's standing in the corner mumbling something to himself. Brax and I look at each other and just wait for the elevator to open. As soon as it opens we go and rush to the instruction circle as we are some of the last people to arrive
. People try to stare at me during instruction, I'm not sure they're trying to size me up but I'm not going to let them, I stare down the boy from 2 but he isn't that into intimidating me so he just narrows his eyes and looks away.
After the instructions, I turn to Brax and ask "So, what are we going first?".
I can see him browsing the room and his eyes go right past the pair from 3 and to the fire-starting station. "What about fire?" he says.
"What about fire?" I ask him sarcastically.
He smiles and says, "You want to learn how to start a fire?" I nod and we walk towards the fire-starting station.
I'm hoping I can learn some valuable skills these next couple of days. If I want to keep him alive, I am going to need all the help I can get.

After I see Arin staring down the boy from 2 during the instructions part I thought she was insane, but now I'm realizing she won't take anyone's crap. I haven't realized if that is good or bad but she's a fighter and that's exactly what I need in an ally in the games.
We go to the fire-starting station and the trainer look nice enough. He starts telling us about the do and don'ts with starting a fire. Do light a fire in the cold or during the day since it's harder to tell if its light. Don't use too much brush or green leaves since the smoke trail would be easier to spot since it'll be grey in the sky. We spend an hour or so here before we decide to move on.
I scan the room to see where to go next, I don't really want to deal with the other tributes on the first day, so we decide to go to the blade station that a couple of careers left to go to.
We realize that they left the station for lunch. I guess the blades will have to wait.
We get a plate and get some food. Some types of beef, bread, greens and a glass of water. I grab my tray and Arin and I go find someplace to eat. The careers are all sitting together, some pairs, a trio and finally some loners.
People are warming up to one another really quick it looks like and I don't know how I feel about it.
These games will be competitive… that makes my mission to go home that much harder.
Hey, y'all here's another duo! I have another pair before we go onto day 2. I know some stories have 3 days but I'm doing 2 and the private sessions. Sponsorship points will be updated after every chapter! Thanks all and the rest chapter should be up soon! Happy holidays! Until Next Time.
