Training

*Phillip's POV

Yesterday was rough.

When we got to our new home for the next week, or so, Aurora was a mess.

The only way for her to not be crying was for her be asleep, so I kept giving her sleeping pills.

Then about an hour into her nap, she would wake up drenched in sweat because of the nightmares.

Today was training day, and I told Aurora to keep calm because that was the only way the other tributes would take us seriously.

We walked into the session together and everyone glared at us. I'm assuming they saw the tapes of our reaping and they know that we are most likely going to be one of the Capitol's favorites.

One of the instructors tells us to go to the stations that we are weakest in, so we will be prepared for anything in the games.

Aurora and I mutually agree to go to the plant station.

Once we are done with that we split up because Aurora is more swift, but I'm stronger.

Practicing my reflexes, I don't even think when I hear Aurora talking.

I glance over at her and someone is all over her.

"Please leave me alone." She says to... Allen? I can't remember his name or district, but I recognize him.

"She told you to back off, so I would appreciate it if you did."

"Since when are we friends? In a week we will be trying to kill each other." He says.

"Well, take your anger out next week, not now and especially not on her."

"Phillip, I can handle myself." Aurora whispers.

"Alright, I will let you do your coupley thing," the tribute says.

Once he is out of earshot, Aurora starts to yell at me.

"You just showed Adam that I am weak and can't do anything by myself. In his mind he just found his first kill."

"What did you want me to do? Stand there while that beast was being rude to you?"

"Yes!"

"I'll see you tonight." Our first fight, not surprising considering the circumstances.

*Esmeralda's POV

Everyone is very intimidating. They know how to fight and how to make fires, when I know how to... Breath.

I feel like I could get the best use out of fighting, so I go there first.

I learn how to use a knife, but I can't seem to kill any of the animatronics.

My mentor, Phoebus, comes over to help me.

"First of all, you aren't even holding the knife right."

He adjusts my hand, so I can get a good grip.

Then he puts his hands on my waist, then whispers into my ear sending shivers up my spine.

"You need to loosen up."

"Focus on your target, and..." I threw the knife and "killed" the pixelated figure.

"There you go." He says.

"Thank you, really."

"If ever need anything else, just call me over. I'll always be here to help."

I don't really think he meant fighting skills.
