Surviving The Games

Chapter Four- Training

  I stand there, shocked. Eden sees me standing there and says, "You two looked cute out there." I turn around to say something, but decide against it. Its dark out so I head to my room and fall on the bed. Tomorrow is the first day of training, so I'll need my sleep. I fall asleep almost instantly.

  When I wake up I actually feel calm, not frightened or worried like I have been the past few nights. I put on the clothes that were set out for me. They were a black hoodie, black t-shirt, and black sweat pants. I also find a pair of black socks and black running shoes. I eat breakfast then head to the elevator. I see Caitlin, and she's wearing the same thing I am!

  Now when we get to the training area, I see my favorite weapon, the Zulu Throwing Knives. they look like upside down L's with spikes sticking out of them. But to my dismay, some career was already using them, though she sucked with it. She tried using them as knives! The nerve! I go to the fire starting area, but I watch her use them. She finally figures out that you are supposed to throw them, but she misses horribly. She stomps off looking really mad.

  As soon as she leaves the area I run to it, because I hadn't practiced in a while. You could call me a career, but that was what I was. My father had trained me, but when he died I stopped training. I felt the girls glare on my neck, and several others (probably the other careers) and I threw it. It sliced the target's neck off. I heard a laugh that sent a chill down my spine. Now where did I hear that before?

  "Lunch time" I hear over the speakers. we move through the hall as a group and reach the mess hall, and Caitlin and I find a table where we can talk strategy, but we are being watched. I hear the girl whisper, " We should ask him to team." I really could care less. I see a couple of them aren't happy so I say, "Really I don't want to. But thanks for asking." Maybe I'm stupid, but hey, I don't want to be killed in my sleep, so yeah.

   We go back to training and then it's time to go. I head to the elevator with Caitlin. When we get up I head straight to my room, but I cant sleep. I head to the living room, turn on the tv, but Eden comes running in, ready to watch, so I go back to my room. I know I remember that girl from somewhere, but where? I asked my self. Slowly I drift into a deep sleep, still thinking about that girl.
