The 300th Hunger Games

Train Ride, Part 1

Bloom Eris P.O.V. (District 7)

I timidly hide behind Aspen as we go into the car that has the tributes from 6 and below. Including the Careers.

Oh god, they're huge! The girl from 2, the one with the brown hair, seems to always be smirking, and looks like she could kill me in an instant. And one of the girls from 4, the one with the jet black hair, is just like her. She has her eyes narrowed, like she's always ready to kill.

I glance over my shoulder, and see the girls from 3 sitting together on a couch near one of the massive windows. We're passing a district now, it looks to be 11 or 10. The pair from 3 seems nice. I'll go talk to them.

"Hi! My names Bloom and-" I start.

"Listen Bloom, you seem really nice, but until we see anyone in training, we're not allying with anyone." The bigger of the girls say. I think her name is Lanni.

"Oh, um, okay then." I say timidly.

I look around for Aspen, and I see her at a booth in the corner. She's sitting with 3 other girls, most who look to be my age. Aspen sees me, and waves me over. I slowly walk to the booth, afraid that my "incident" with 3 will repeat itself.

"This is Bloom, she's my district partner!" Aspen says.

"Hi... I'm 14." I say quietly, and sit down next to Aspen.

"Hi Bloom, my name is Zea, and I'm from 9." A girl with messy brown hair says.

"My name is Isobel, and this is Lacey, we're both from 8." A beautiful girl with long brown hair and tan skin says, motioning to a small girl with blonde hair.

"So, can anyone use weapons?" I ask them timidly.

Zea perks up, "I'm pretty good in hand to hand combat. But not really weapons."

"Hmm, I think I'd be okay with a short sword, maybe." Isobel says, pondering herself.

"I'd like to learn how to use knives." Lacey quietly tells us.

"And Aspen is great at using an axe!" I reply, maybe to loudly.

"Oh shut up Bloom. Bloom is really stealthy, and is good in long range." Aspen grins at me.

"Oh, I'm 16, by the way." Isobel swiftly says.

"I'm 15." Zea says bluntly.

"Bloom is 14, and I'm 16." Aspen tells the girls for me.

Isobel sighs, and says, "Lacey is 14, and very, very quiet."

"So, alliance?" Zea asks.

"Alliance." Aspen replies.

Maybe I do have a chance.

Valerie Slate P.O.V. (District 2)

I lean against the window of the train, speeding past a District. Probably 10. I've been on the stupid train all day! It started in 1, then went to 2, then to 3, and so on. When we picked up the pair from 12, who, by the way, are nowhere to be seen, we could finally start heading to the Capitol.

"Oh my good, there's no one even decent this year!" Talia says.

I roll my eyes. She's been complaining all day about how stupid all the tributes are. When I reality, she's just trying to prove herself to me. Her partner, Reyna, doesn't need to. Reyna is from a line of Victors, a good ally to have.

"Shut up Talia. I shouldn't hear you talking." Reyna retorts.

"Haha, very funny Reyna." Talia snarls.

"Girls, girls, break it up." A new voice says.

Surprised, I look up. Who would barge into a Career conversation like that? But then I see her. Willow Cane.

That stupid girl from 11 who thinks she's "So Much". I'll show her.

"What do you want?!" Talia yells at her.

"Alliance." Willow says plainly.

I have to hold in my laugh.

"Alliance? A girl from 11, with the Careers? Sorry, don't think so." I tease her.

In one smooth motion, Willow picks up a butter knife and throws it into the door, inches above the purple haired freak from Ones head.

"Ya know what? Maybe we can reconsider." Talia says weakly.

Willows eyes harden, and an evil grin spreads on her face.

"Great. This is gonna be fun."

Calypso Breeze P.O.V (District 1)

I feel the area above my head, where the knife hit. Leä freaked out when Willow threw the knife.

"Oh come on Leä, it's not that big of a deal! It didn't hit me!" I say.

"Yeah, but it could've!" Leä shrieks.

"Calm down!" I chide her.

After a couple minutes, she's calm down.

"I just don't want anything to happen to you. If you died..." Leä lets the end of the sentence linger.

"Hey, look at 1! We'll get them first, stupid rich kids!" Talia from 4 taunts.

Leä is about to get up, with her fist clenched, but I push her back.

"Wait." I say sternly.

I pick up the butter knife that Willow threw at me. I close my eyes, and pretend it's an axe. Easy. My eyes snap open, and I chuck it as hard as I can in Willows direction. Her eyes grow wide as it impales itself right next to her neck. She stares at me.

"Just wanted to return the favor." I say, and spin on my heel.

I pull open the car door, and step into the District 1 Carriage.

Haley Carter P.O.V. (District 9)

The carriage is dead silent. Willow is stomping around, throwing vases and screaming.

"That little jerk! I'm gonna kill her first! I swear, I will end her!" The so called rebel screams.

She eventually sulks off to the 11 Carriage, and slams the door behind her. I look around for possible allies. The girl who was supposed to help me as my Partner, Zea, has allied with the pairs from 7, 8, and 10, making them an alliance of 7. The largest alliance, closely followed by the Careers. I can tell by the way they look at her, they want Solaris.

The pair from 12 is no where to be seen, still. District 3 is still in a corner, sitting closely. The blue haired girl from 2 is talking with the brown haired girl from 5. They're both freaks.

I'd consider going with 1, but like 3, they seem closely knit and would save there partner instead of me. Which means that I won't ally with 1, 2, 3, or 5. Six might be okay. Definitely no 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12. I can't believe I've been betrayed by my District partner. Maybe I'll fly solo. Glaze Hyde, the Victor of the 291st Games, was like me: An underdog from 9, with no alliance. The odds were certainly not in his favor, but he ended up winning. He's the most recent Victor from 9.

He'll be succeeded by me of course.

I plan on winning these Games for 9. And when I win, I will laugh at Zea for doubting me, and watch with a stone cold glare as her sisters casket is lowered into the ground. Oh I know about how Zaphrina got parts of her skull bashed in. It helps when your family runs the hospital in your District.

I lie down on one of the soft, plush couches, and close my eyes. Before I fall asleep, I have one image in my head: the moment I kill Zea Miller.
