The Hunger Games: Everthorne

Chapter 8

As me and Gale lost one day of training, we had nothing much to show to the Gamemakers. We can all feel the tension between my best friend and the district 1 boy (I think his name is Marvel). They can stop glaring at each other. So I talk to Gale, for maybe calm him a little.

"What are you gonna to show to the Gamemakers?"

"I learn how to throw spear, knife a little and I'm gonna do some snare."

"That's all?" I ask surprise.

He looks at me with a funny smile.

"And you?" He asks without his grin.

"I will mostly show bow and maybe finish on throw knife too."

"That's all?" He says.

I punch him on a gently on the shoulder. It almost like we're in the woods. But, we both know that it will never be the same.

Now, I'm alone in the room. I'm the last one to pass. I can feel the anxiety go up inside me.

The doors open with a "Slam!". I see Gale, angry come to me.

"What happened?" I say with worries.

He grabs my face in both of his palm, locking our gaze together.

"They better listen to you."

"What have you done?" I ask trying to know.

He sighs and caresses my right cheek.

"You will know later." He promises me.

"Katniss Everdeen, district 12" Says a male voice.

My friends kiss my forehead and he goes into the elevator. I was clearly lost. What just happened?

I enter in the training room and I see Seneca Crane looking at me.

"Katniss Everdeen?" He asks.

I just nod.

"We listen to you."

I take a big breath, now I'm ready to impressive them.

I finally take my bow and shoot some arrows. But just some of Gamemakers are looking at the big roast pig that just arrived to the banquet table.

At the same moment, I shoot an arrow in the direction of the pig. My arrow hit the apple who was in the mouth of the death animal. All the men look at me.

"Thank you for the consideration." I say angrily.

I go out, without their permission. Before I got out of the room and can hear Seneca say angrily:

"Two in one year, is too much."
