A Call For Heroes (Pjo x Hunger Games

So the next chapter is here. Just wanted to thank you for all those reviews :) So... read on!

Katniss

"Yes, I'm Katniss. And you are Percy right?" Katniss said smiling.

"That's correct." He replied.

She tried to make conversation, luring him into her trap. "I saw you volunteer for the little boy in your district." She stated.

He just gave a shrug. Probably trying to look brave in front of the crowd. He just wanted the fame, she thought.

"I had to. Just like how you had to volunteer for your sister at the reaping." He said.

Like he had to, Katniss thought angrily. He was no different from all those career tributes.

But on the outside, she nodded. "That was brave of you." She commented.

"And you too." Percy said with a smile, sea green eyes sparkling.

He must be a great actor to hide his true, ugly self, Katniss thought.

"So why are you here?" She asked. It came out harsher than she'd intended too.

"I just wondered if I could be your ally in the games." He asked politely.

"Why do you want me ask your ally? I don't fight as well as you do." She said, hoping Percy would underestimate her.

"Everyone has a skill at something. I'm rubbish at shooting arrows actually." Percy said.

So he has weak points too. Swords might be useful at short distances. But when it came to long distance attacks, Katniss would have the upper hand. Of course, she couldn't tell him at her archery skills. He would find out about that later, just before he gets shot by one.

"Tell you what. We can be allies then. Since I saw that you were good with a sword." Katniss said. "But Peeta is coming with us."

"Peeta? Oh, you mean that guy from your district? Sure." Percy agreed.

The alliance was made. They shook hands. Now Percy would not be that much of a danger to her. She just had to pick the correct time to play him out. After all, that was what the Hunger Games was all about right? If this guy thinks she was an easy target, he was wrong, and he would find out about that the hard way.

"Okay. See you in the arena then." Katniss said, as he turned and walked away.

Katniss looked at Peeta, who had finally managed to get his knot done.

"So Percy is going to be our ally?" Peeta asked. "He seems trustworthy."

"No he is not trustworthy! He is just trying to lure you into a trap!" Katniss scolded. How could Peeta be so thick as not to see Percy's real intentions?

"Then why did you agree to be allies with him?" Peeta questioned.

"It would be easier to take him down when he lowers his guard. Didn't you see how good he was with a sword? Maybe if he trusts me, it would be easier to kill him."

"So you are going to backstab him? Even if he doesn't do anything to you?" Peeta argued.

"Peeta, it's the only way. Don't you get it? I have to win! I got a family to look after." Katniss retorted.

"I know. I want you to win too." Peeta said.

"Then stop arguing with me." She replied.

The lunch bell went. All the tributes pushed the tables from the side of the room ti the centre. The career tributes of District One, Two and Four sat together, no doubt having formed an alliance.
