The Liars Games

Chapter 12

Emily's POV

I wake up in the train's cabinet, wishing that when I open my eyes, I'll wake up in my bed, home, along with mum and dad.

But I'm not. The odds were not in my favour and they'll not be. I'm never going back home.

Me and the boy tribute, Nate, met our mentors yesterday. I didn't know any of them. I didn't really care about the Games. But now I wish I did. If I ever payed attention, maybe now I could know some tips. But this is why mentors are,right? To give you advice and find you sponsors. I don't think it's gonna be hard for me to find sponsors. I make friends easily.

I go to take my breakfast and I see Nate and our two mentors, Morks and Genia sitting in the table. Morks and Genia, I repeat to myself trying not to laugh. Where did those names come from? To be honest, I'm one of the few girls in my district who have a normal name.

As I join them, Morks start to talk immediately.
M: So, we have to discuss your strategy to the games.
G: Come on, let them eat. It's too early to talk about that.
M: Let me remind you that you were once in their spot. I don't think that you thought it was too early to be advised.
G: Ok, ok continue.
M: So as I was saying, you'll need a strategy and-
Nate: I want to be trained alone.

What? Seriously dude?!?! We didn't even start and he wants to be trained alone? Does he really think that I'm able to kill him? I don't think he knows me that well.

M: What?
N: You heard me. I wanna be trained alone.
G: Ok
Morks looks at her like she's from another universe.
G: What. You heard him. It's not odd at this phase. Don't tell me that you didn't want the same once?
M: Ok,ok... So let me give you some tips first. The arena will have some wood. It always has wood, since that year...

I remember that year. Poor tributes... There was no wood and almost everyone died from hypothermia. That wasn't really entertaining. Since then there is always wood.

M: You will not make a fire, however cold you are at night.
Me: Why not?
M: Because that's a good way to get killed.
Me: Why?
M: So many questions...
N: Just answer!
M: If you make a fire, there will be light. And with light, tributes, especially Careers will find you and kill you.

None of the two of us talk.

M: Find water.
Me and Nate look at each other in confussion.
G: Why is it so hard to understand? You'll die from dehydration, if you don't find water. You thought that the only problem will be the other tributes? You are very mistaken if you think that.

That moment we reach the Capitol. Both me and Nate go to admire the majestity of it. It is much bigger than I thought.

I hadn't really thought about water. They are right. We will also have to find edible food. Which means that if we don't know what to eat, one bite is enough to kill us...

Hey guys, hope you enjoy it so far. I know you are thinking of Genia and Morks. Those are the names I gave them. I know they suck... I just wanted something different.
