The Third Quarter Quell

Chapter seven - Strong, and Dangerous

The next few days are the same. Training in the morning, then dinner, then Peeta helps me out a bit more with wrestling. I get pretty good. Not anywhere near as good as Peeta though. 

Blake has joined the careers, but it looks like Oak, Holden and Tatum have turned them down. Thank goodness for that. It will be hard enough taking out Nate, Blake, Xander Ace and Spencer let alone if Oak, Holden and Tatum joined them. 

I spent the first 3 days in training focusing on me, my skills, learning how to trap, start a fire and know the plants; and the last two days focusing on the other tributes.

Ace and Spencer are extremely good with their swords. So here is the three facts I know about each tribute.

Ace is the level-headed leader type, he is very strong and would crush me in a hands on fight. He can use most weapons, but excels with swords. Spencer on the other hand is quick-tempered as displayed with Grayson and Holden when they turned down his offer. He is still strong but probably not quite as strong as someone like Grayson and Tatum, Spencer can hit any target moving or not any size with a spear. 

Xander is the youngest of the original careers, and it is clear in his skill. He is the weakest of the boys, I would probably beat him in a hands on fight. He is handy with his knives, but probably couldn't hit a moving deer. Chelsea deserves to be in the careers more than he does. She is the strongest female out of the lot, she along side Blaine and Rein will be a threat. She uses a bow but is probably only slightly better than me.

Grayson. He is amazing at every weapon he picks up. He can hit a target with a bow and arrow, knife, spear, slingshot. He is good with swords and spiked mace. If I didn't have him, let's just say I would have no hope. Taking him down will be difficult. Would. Would be difficult. I don't need to think about that yet. When the time comes we will split our seperate ways. Paisley is no threat. She is fairly good with a knife now that Grayson got her training. Grayson treats her like a younger sister, he treats Prim like one too. He is very protective of them, and gets them doing all sorts of things which will benifit themselves in the games. 

Blaine and Flynn are both handy with their knives, Flynn has no-one. She isn't in with the career girls. Blaine is weak.

Tatum is strong, and dangerous. Though he obviously has a heart or he would have joined the career boys. He is not as talented with his weapons as Grayson and Ace and Spencer, but if he gets close enough to you, you can consider yourself dead.

Rein got a free ticket in. Being  with Chelsea and Blaine she now might survive the first day. Up against any group she is dead. She is weak and has no talents. She may hit a still target with an arrow, after a few attempts but she excels greatly in trap making and plants. 

Blake, part of the careers, he is handy with an axe, being from the lumber district. He is strong, but not the best hands on fighter. Him against Prim, it would not be talent which would bring him to win, it would be clear strength. Holden, is much like Blake. Strong, but with talent. The other day, him and Grayson were practicing wrestling, with permission from the lady who supervisers, and he took Grayson down twice out of three times. I'm unsure of his weapon of choice; he seems fairly good at most of them, but I would have to guess and say axes like Blake.

Rian is another strong male. But that's all i can say about him. He hasn't given enough away.

Sierra is older than me, but not a threat even if she wasn't with me and Prim. So far the only people I can trust are Grayson and Prim. So i have considered whether I could take Sierra down when I need to. And I think i can. Nate is the fifth and final career. He is strong, but Sierra seems more then willing to give up information if i ask, so he has not been number one on my list.

Anderson is just like Morrison. Both seem to have no chance against Grayson or the career boys.

Maple is young, and keeps to herself alot. She may come out swinging, but i don't think anyone will know till it happens. Oak on the other hand, is like the opposite of Maple. Strong and large. The best weapon.

Then theres me and Prim. Prim is sweet and caring. She has gotten quite good at knives, and can starts a great fire. She can identify most plants, and the ones she can't i have made sure i can.

When I report my information to Peeta he seems more than happy. I have done what he asked for. He said try and get three facts about most tributes and i have done it.
