Glimmer: A Hunger Games Fanfic

Chapter 8 Part 2

I headed over to the knife section of the training room with the my group of alliance, that I recently made, with confidence. I tried not looking my way to Katniss but just knowing that she was in the same room as me sent a chill down my spine.

I sensed people staring at us and sensed their tremble of fear. I chuckled to myself. Ivory would have loved to witness this, well she would loved being this kind of center of attention. She practically lived off of it anyway.

I grabbed a knife from the rack and twirled it in my hand. My finger touching the tip lightly.

"So how did you guys get into the Games?" I asked the others.

"I was specially chosen by my district," Cato says, lifting a sword from the rack next to the knife rack.

"Oh," I said throwing the knife, hitting perfectly on the target dummy despite my uneasiness to Cato's words. When a district chooses their tribute, it was usually big deal. They were chosen on the training scores back at school but you had to have three times more than the regular scores. Instead of him being in the reaping bowl, he would just volunteer. Everyone in the distict knew that they couldn't volunteer that year. It was usually a huge deal. This guy was going to be a complete challenge. Great. "That's a great honor. Congrats."

I played 'Fighter' by Christina Aguilera, another song from before my great grandparents' time, in my mind as I practiced with the weapons and let me tell ya, they were amazing! The ones back at home didn't even compare to these in the Capitol. They were perfect to kill with. I was like a kid in a candy shop, not knowing which one I would practice with next.

I also tried to keep myself occupied from Katniss. It made me frustrated that she made me feel this way. The first thing I do in the arena, I am going to kill her. She is a threat more than she knows. I let my eyes wander the room to find her. Once I saw her, I felt uneasy. She was in the rope tying station with her district partner. As if she felt my eyes staring at her, she turned her head to look. I felt my muscles tense but I played it off by smirking and circled the sword in my hand. I walked off with an air that I didn't have.
