The Liars Games

Chapter 17

Aria's POV

The training turned out to be more difficult than I expected. I can't handle any of the weapons because they make me wanna cry and I'm not better in making fire or knots either. My brother though seems to be pretty good with the weapons. We have only been training for one day and he is already in the Careers group. Great... He can enjoy his odds of winning with the Careers, while I sit here alone. As we are in the elevator to our... I don't know what this is... Apartment maybe... Anyway I ask him what is going on.

Mike:What do you mean?
Me: I mean that we havent started already and you are already made it into a Career.
M:I'm good, can you blame me?
Me: ok, first of all I don't understand why you are pissed off. I just asked you a question I didn't do anything bad.
M: Then maybe you should stop asking.

That's the last thing he says when the elevator opens an we go to our... Luxury apartment.
Our escort is waiting for us in the table along with Beetee and Wiress. I have never seen so much food in my entire life! And I never will again...

I go to my room take a quick bath and get dressed with something I find in my closet. It's just a shirt and pants. Nothing special... I just can't help but notice how expensive everything here is... Even the clothes to sleep. I just wonder what I would do if I had that kind of money...
Focus Aria! There's no time for that!!! If I win I will have enough money. I can think about that then. Which is basically in Heaven...

When I am almost done with the food Beetee asks us something.

B:So how was the training?
Mike: Pretty good.
Me: For you... I say and Mike gives me a nasty look.
B:...
Me: Look, I am not good in fighting and stuff. And I will never be.
B:Look, Aria...
Me:Yes I know... I shouldn't think like that... But I can't help it... In Four days I will be risking my life. So yes. I am nervous, because I can't accomplish fighting. You can either accept that, or get over it eventually. I say as my voice gets louder.

I go to my room and lay down. After a couple of minutes, I feel bad... What has gotten into me? Why was I shouting like that? Maybe I'm on my days... I wonder how I will deal with this in the arena. But that's just the slightest of the problems I'm gonna have in there...
I really wanna go ouy and apologise to everyone, especially Beetee, because he didn't do anything bad... He just wanted to give us advice. But I'm too tired right now... Maybe tommorow.

After I laid in bed, I tried to think how we got here... My parents, Mike, his girlfriend, my dress, the Reaping, the train, the Capitol, the... Wait?!?! My dress!!! Where is it? I can't have lost it!! It has a symbolic meaning for me! That beautiful white dress up to the knees... It's an ordinary white dress with no other colors on it. After I have messes up the whole bedroom, I start crying, because I really did lost that dress which is the only thing that connects me to my home...

My parents have given it to me for my sixteen birthday. It seems like an enternity since then. It was a cold day in winter and I was sick. My birthday was the day after that. Mike was checking on me the whole time, something vert strange for him because usually he doesn't pay much attention to me. I was feelkng a lot better but then I thought I saw something out of the window. A shadow. I didn't see a face, but I realised that he -it was definately a guy, you could tell from his voice- was fighting witb my dad about something. I didn't know what that was for, but they were almost shouting. And I thought what is so important that deserves the risk to get whipped? I totally forgot about until now. I can see the link betwwthis and my dress now. In my birthday, my whole family handed me a gift which was the white dress. I could see that something went wrong, but I never thought of thag fight. Now that I can think of it better, the dress might not even be for me. All over it there was thread, but thread which showed that something has been cut out. Maybe it was a name of an other girl. When I thanked them I asked them how much did it cost, because we don't have thithis amount of money to pag for such a luxury... They told me that it wasn't something special and the diamond was fake. The diamond... I had totally forgot about that! But of course I had. The diamond was not there when I took the dress out in the train. Why did that escape my notice? Whats the deal with that dress? But why do I care? I lost it anyway so... I should get some sleep otherwise I will loose my mind. I fell asleep slowly, dreaming of me wearing the white dress in less painful occasions, like my mum's wedding...

Hey there!!! New chapers up, hope.you liked it!!! Just because I love you guys im just gonna give you a hint. Im gonna give some on occasions so just try to figure it out. The sentences that are not straight (so tired, dont know how.to call them) give tou hints, about what happens next. Just keep that in mind. Goodnight😘

Oh and RIP Alan Rickman
