We ride back into the place we started again and Cinna is waiting for us. "You guys were amazing. I loved it.'' He says. Mum comes bounding in. "Good job sweet pea." She compliments. Smiling I hop out of the Chariot. We went back to the hotel after I was changed and make up removed. When we got home Mum and I sat down and talked about the different stations. "Go to Agility. And Plants and Berries. Dont use the axe or bow until your Peacekeeper performance. Maybe try a new weapon." Mum suggests. "I'll try a sword." I tell Mum. "Dinner" Tersilla says, since we are just on the couch. We eat silently and Victor and Me finish at the same time again. "Come with me Victor, I wanna show you something." I tell him. I take him up to the roof. He gasps at the view. "I like it up here." I tell him. I smile and point to a picnic basket. We laugh and lay out the picnic rug and start eating and drinking while the sun sets. "This view. Its astonishing." Victor says after finishing his third sandwich. I smile ''Yeah. I thought the same when Mum took me up here." We look at each other. After about 2 seconds we kiss. It could have been a couple of minutes, a hour, a long day or a thousand years before we stopped. "Wow." I say. I smile. "Lets go to bed." I say. I go to my room and snuggle into bed. I close my eyes and sleep. I wake up at 9:00. I have to be down their by 11:00. Shit. I get changed into some clothes that they layed out for me with the number 12 on them. I eat my breakfast seeing the others wearing the same clothes as me. The clock strikes 10:50 and we go to the elevator. Mike presses a button saying TC and we zoom down to the Training Centre. Their we see daggers, knives, spears and other weapons. Their are also different stations as in berries, fire and camoflauge. We await with the other Tributes. Their will be more cluttering up the place because there are double people even though there are 2 arena's with 24 in them. Most of the girls look sleek and speedy. Just the type to slaughter. As soon as everyone joins the Training Room Estria starts her speech. She tell us that we train over the 2 days we have. We just regularly train on the first day but on the 2nd day we performe in front of the Gamemakers and Peacekeepers. Then we go to our stations. I head off to "Agility" and a couple of girls and a boy follows me. We walk into a room with blue walls. Its filled with ropes, trees beams and even a chandaleir. "Hello. My name is Dalia. Your mother set a record doing this course." Says the instructor, pointing at me. ''So, see the arrows? Follow them and complete the course as quick as possible. We will attach you to a harness so if you fall you wont hurt yourself. " One of the girls that I reconise as Flora goes first. She makes it about halfway before she misses the rope and floats in mid air. Dalia pulls her in and gives the harness to the boy. I think he's from District 6. He gets to the end in 1:20 seconds. Then the next girl goes. She doesnt get too far when she jumps a bit to short. She falls a bit then just dangles there. Dalia pulls her in and then its my turn. "3..2..1..GO!" I jump onto the platform in front and climbed the rope. I climbed up the tree onto a wooden plank. I sprint across and swing onto the line of ropes. I get to the Hurdle platform and jump every one. I take a run up and grab the golden part of the chandaleir and swing around. I land onto a stone beam and see some more in front spaced out. I jump each one and on the last one I grab the silver pole. I slide down and see the finishing platform and a rope hanging down. I take a deep breath, step back and sprint to the rope. I jump and grab the rope. I swing and leap onto the finishing platform. "Nice, 54:00 seconds." Dalia says. I hi five her as I leave the room. I then go to "Sword fighting." Their are 2 Carrers and they are both female. They are really good with a sword. I go over there and go to the instructor. "Hello" she says. "Im Perracotta. Im the sword instructer. So, have you used a sword before?" I shake my head. "So you can either grip it with one hand, or two. For more powerful blows use one hand but it might slip out of your grip. Two hands means weaker blows but wont slip. So for one hand grip the hilt with your strong hand and swing as hard as you can. Make sure you dont hit yourself." I hold a silver sword in my right hand and swing at the straw filled dummy in front of me. The head flies off. I grab the hilt with two hands and stab the dummy in the stomach. "Nice. Now, do you want to see how to throw a sword.?" Perracotta asks. "I think ill be ok.'' I tell him. I wave goodbye to him and head to "Fires". There the guy shows me how to start a fire with no flint and steel or matches. Im actually pretty good at it and get it on my 4th try. He says that I'm a natural survivor. He shows me how to start a fire with hardly any smoke so I can light it in the day. You have to use certian wood and leaves and pine cones. Then the bell rings and we head back to our rooms. The guys comment keeps repeating in my head. Your a natural survivour.

I think I can do this.
