BURNT. (The hunger games series!)

practice

"In two weeks 23 of you will be dead. One of you will be alive. Who that is depends on how well you pay attention these next four days particularly to what I am about to say. First, no fighting with the other tributes, You'll have plenty of time for that in the arena. There are four compulsory exercises. The rest with be individual training. My advice is do not ignore the survival skills. Everybody want's to grab a sword but most of you will die from natural causes. 10% from infection, 20% from dehydration. Exposure can kill as easily as a knife." The lady explained. 

We were allowed to start training. We had to do obstacles. I passed them all. "You are good!" The kid from district 2 walked over. "Thank you" I told him. He smiled. "It's going to be horrible to have to kill a sweet charming girl like you" he told me. I laughed. "What's funny?" He questioned. "ill eat you before you can even kill me baby" I flashes a smile at him. He looked a little fluster. 

Then his partner walked over. "Did she say she was going to eat you?" She asked him. I winked at her and walked away. I seen Katniss standing by herself. I walked to her. "Hey Katniss!" I told her. She smiled "I am so glad you are here!" She whispered. "I am so sorry you have to be in this!" I told her. "You and me did a brave thing volunteering for our sisters!" She told me. "Wait you volunteered?" "Oh yeah you did not get to watch mine I went on before you" I frowned. 

The boy who was just talking to me and another dude were fighting a knife. I looked up and seen a little girl holding a knife hiding up. Me and Katniss smiled. 

We had to wash up before dinner. Me and Drake sat next to each other. "So I see you were getting along with 12's girl?" Locksmith asked. "I already knew her from back at home" I answered. "I also heard you were good with a bow and sword?" He questioned. I shrugged "Better at singing" Drake made a noise. 

"She is amazing with them both I have seen her!" He announced. I looked at him. "When have you seen me?" "You are not the only one in the woods" He told me. That made me nervous if he has ever seen my grandma? 

"She can get them right in between the eye with the bow and then she can stab them perfect in the head!" He added. "Drake knows moves! He can have knife in between his toes and slice something perfect! He can use his hands to I seen him." "Like karate?" "Yeah but .. dangers!" I aired out. 

"How will that even help me ?" "You can win with it!" "I am not the one going to win okay! You are Mavis can you get that in your head already!" Drake kind of shouted. My breathing hitched. "Not all of us are good at everything okay!" He added. I stood up. 

"I am not good at everything!" "What can you not do!" "I can't do this game! I wont be able to this stupid game! I am not even going to make it in 5 minutes I can just feel it!" I answered. My eyes were getting watery. "Hey Maeve I did not mean to upset you" "I can't perform my way out of this one" I looked around. "Night" 

I was walking towards my room. "That's it!" Locksmith shouted. I looked at him. "you are going to preform for them in that arena!" I sighed. "I am tired of preforming all it has done is made me get put into the hunger game!" "Listen to him Mavis!" Darius instructed. 

I put my hand on my hip. "Are you flexible by chance?" "In way's" "Can you run and do a cartwheel?" "Yeah" "Show me". I rolled my eyes. I went to a flat area. I started running and did one. I threw my hands up and put on a fake smile "Tada!" I said sarcastically. 

He had me do a whole bunch of stuff. He made me do flips, backbends, cartwheels, even handstands. I felt like a piece of paper. "That's it you can use this to your advantage more than you know!" He told me. I smiled "I will try" 

The next day everyone was warming up. I was trying to start a fire and I burned myself. "Ow!" I said a little loud. I heard someone walking over. "Come with me!" Drake said. "Where?" "Just come here!" He told me. I looked at Katniss and followed him.
