Chapter 21: Assessments and Scores

Warning minor mention of smut at the end.

Rudy POV

The three days of training went by quickly. To sum things up, all I did was work on refreshing my survival skills, making a fool of myself, and failing horribly in using weapons in front of others. Finally, the day of the assessments had come. The gamemakers are going to ask each tribute one by one to show their abilities and capabilities in what they could do. The gamemakers will give a tribute score between one through twelve. Your score is dependent on the gamemakers attention to a tribute and their likability. If they don't like what they see you could get a very low score and be targeted by the gamemakers in the arena. The assessment scores have a high influence in acquiring sponsors for tributes as well.

The scores can either make it or break it for a tribute. The sponsors given by the assessments and interview can either make the difference in the likelihood of survival. However, I didn't have to worry because my plan all along was to score below average and look like a weak underdog. Finnick had agree with this plan. Let's just hope it plays out well for me.

Another thing is that Finnick will be helping me get sponsors as well while my time in the arena and his time spending with the people of the capitol. Hid pretty face and charming devilious smile can deceive anyone to get what he wants. All that he will be doing is flirting and giving out compliments to his admirers. There will be nothing else besides that. No sexual relations at all.

His future does not lie with being a forced prostitute for the wealthy capitol people. However, it does mean he cannot use his looks and charms to get what he wants from people. What better way to start learning to play with the emotions and feelings of the people of the capitol then by having them fall into his mercy.

Even though we still plan to come here to the capitol from time to time it does not mean we have to enjoy it. In the next few years, we will escort these people to events, parties, and etc. It is far better than receiving nothing and having no control who you are and your own body.

Everything is on the line with Finnick and I's Lovers act. If things work out, then he won't have to do things that his alternative self had done for the people he loves' safety.  Here's for hope that the people of the capitol buy our new bubbling love act.

After the third day of training, Finnick escorted me to where the assessments place that they are going to be held. Which is the same place where we did all our training. When we got there, we saw the other tributes and some of their mentors waiting around as well. Finnick looked towards me and gave me a peck on the cheek as I saw you later. He went on to talk to the other mentors.

When he did leave, I giggled right after the peck on my cheek. I blushed and hid my face with embarrassment. I went to stand with my back to the wall in the farside of the room where no one was there. All I could think was if I was ready for everything that is to come. Names of tributes were being called one after another, while I was in my head. I had to stop worrying about it and put my game face on.

Time went on until the robotic announcer called for "District 4, Rudy Wolfstien." You may be wondering why my last name was called out as Wolfstein and not Odair- Wolfstien. It is because Finnick and I had married in secret to hide this fact from President Snow. We all know how that snake will use anything possible to make a killing strike. It was better to hide this fact and risk more lives.

Besides this point, I walked into the big cold training room with weapons and different items laid out around me. The gamemakers were in the same room but on a balcony stuffing themselves with food and drinks. They were living it up with luxury while judging kids on how much they are worth. They had finally noticed me, when I came to a stop right in front of them. I noticed that some of them had taken a liking to how I looked. Their gazes hid lust and want behind them.
