Willow stared out the window of the train as District 7 disappeared. "HOW ARE WE GOING TO SURVIVE THE HUNGER GAMES!!" Timber yelled at their mentor who clearly didn't care if they lived or died."Well for one thing you can put that knife down,"he said calmly."And you have to get people to like you, you haven't gotten off to a good start so far."So how did you win,besides the fact that you have a great charismatic attitude,"Willow said sarcastically. I won by impressing the game makers,joining the career pack,and killing them in their sleep."

Willow truly believed now that their mentor was a psychopath. "So what I'm hearing is that to win we have to stoop so low that we have to KILL PEOPLE IN THEIR SLEEP ?!" Timber said. "Well every thing sounds bad when you put it that way but yeah pretty much."the mentor said."okay what's your name anyway?"Willow asked."My name is Collin Brushfire." "Hey look it's the Capitol,"Timber shouted.Willow ran over to the window. The districts all still carried battle wounds from the Dark Days,but the Capitol didn't have one damaged building in fact every building was perfectly sculpted and dazzling in the sunlight.

Willow was taken to a room full of stylists who's names she immediately forgot. The stylists dressed her in the usual tree outfit they did every year."I'm never going to get any sponsors," she mumbled to herself. We held hands as we road in our chariot it got a response,but not much. The crowd was focused on district one and two as usual.

That night she slept in the comfiest bed ever. That morning she got up ,got dressed,and went to breakfast. "Training, today go down after breakfast," Collin said. After breakfast they went down to the training center. "The training you do here may mean the difference between life and death. "Most of you will head for a weapon,but nature can be more lethal than a career tribute."the woman running the training center said,"Go!"she yelled.

Willow headed straight for the fire starting section a man helped her make a fire with just sticks,then she learned about edible plants,and she tried to shoot a bow, but she realized she should stick to an axe. Finally, it was the the end of the day. Willow felt tired and skipped dinner and went to bed.

The next day they headed down to the training center for their time to show off to the game makers. After awhile it was time for Willow to go in. The game makers were obviously starting to get drunk and not care about the performances. Willow grabbed an axe and said"Willow Mason District 7." Willow threw an axe at a dummy's head,it came right off. She threw a few more axes and left. Timber told Willow he had used a spear. They watched the screen, and Timber got a 9 and they went crazy, but Willow's picture appeared on the screen along with an 11.
