The Private Career - District 5

Chapter 5- The real drama begins

I walked over to the dummy area, while eyeballing the gamemakers every second, and tried not to take notice to the weapons. Once i am in the centre of the dummies, i ask them if they are ready for me to start, they all nod, so i begin. Without even trying i look at the weapons and walk over to them. My mind starts flickering on an off, then it went black.

Another second later i open my eyes, to a very demounted, dummy. I look over at the gamemakers, they seem to be impressed, so i decide not to do shot gun in front of them, i think i already won that battle. So i just left them and chucked the sword on the ground, not even noticing the sound it made when it hit the ground. When i go into the elevator, i press D5, and start sliding my back down the wall of the elevator, and start crying. I start hitting the walls and everything, then quickly stop, as the elevator doors start to open.

" Oh Tarsha what have you done to yourself?!" Carisse says as she comes to help me up. I take her hand and let her help me " Come on lets get you cleaned up " She says and takes me to my room. Carisse sits me on the bed and walks into the bathroom, and comes out with a cold rag, then places it on my lip.

" Ow!" I scream, and push the towel away, and gently press my lips "Ow!" I scream again, and run into the bathroom to have a look whats wrong with it. Its turns out y new technique is having some rebounds. I first think i might of hit myself in the face while doing it, but then realize its a blood blister, so it was caused from the inside. So my new skill must be affecting me every time i use black out. I walk back out to carisse who still has the towel in her hand, and sit back down with her.

 " Sorry about that it just hurt a bit" I say and hang my head.

" Its fine Tarsha" She says and places the towel in my hand and walks over to the door " Just keep that on it for the rest of the night, and be out in ten minutes for your score" she says opening the door and walking out. I put the towel back up to my lip and lay down on my bed, wondering how the black out was affecting my body. But nothing came to my head in those ten minutes, then Carisse came knocking on my door to reminding me it was time to go see the scores. I got up and made my way into the lounge.

As i walked out the tv shot up on the wall, and they had started announcing the scores.

" What happened to your face?" Monroe asked me

" What happened to yours" I replied back to him with cocky look. Everyone giggled a bit, i mean he saw it coming. Knowing him you would think he would know how to talk to a girl by now, but thanks to him i missed Scabe and Emeralds results, so i didn't waste anymore time and sat down to view the others. It seems Snake and Juele did good with, Snake on ten, and Juele on nine. The two from three both hit a low four, then Mynique pops up with a eight, the same with Fraile. Im a bit shocked, but fully shocked. Its normally two and one that get the highest scores, but considering Mynique and   Fraile are also Careers, concerns me, with that score.

My name, and profile, appears on the screen. Im waiting for the green haired freak to say what i got already, and ironically he does. 

"And District 5's female tribute for this year receives, and 10!" He says smiling at the screen. A ten?! How could this be, oh wait I'm a career i get these high scores, i should act like it is a surprise in front of everyone though, so they don't get suspicious, so i act like this score was a big shock.

"Well done!" Rose says, while patting me on the back.

" Great score!" Owlson replies. Then we all go silent waiting for Hame to says his words.

"Hame? Is there anything you would like to say to Tarsha?" Carisse says while breaking the wall of silence.

"Oh yeah, um well done" He replies while leaving the room.
