150th Hunger Games ~ The Hidden Cornucopia

Training - Day One.

A/N: I don't have much to say.

Harmony Locks POV (District Two)

All the tributes disperse into different areas of the room. Valen and I, instinctively go to the weaponry area along with Magna and Ethia. I have become real close with Valen, as I am younger, he is like an older brother figure to me. But I can't loose site of the fact, that he must die.

I need to win this, bring pride to my District and family name.

I have also got along quite.. nicely with Magna. But Ethia, something about her makes me want to clip her over the head or something. She is quite mysterious. I don't trust her. I'm sure if it came down to us two in the end, I would happily take her out, that's all I'm saying.

I head over too the weaponry area and listen through rubbish I've heard so many times before from the instructor.

Each session at a station runs for an hour. So once the hour is up, you can leave and do something else for an hour, or stay and redo what you just did. But there are two males instructors who are there for extensive training, so instead of redoing the programme, you can work with them I suppose.

I walk over to the wrack of weapons and pick for me signature weapon, bow and arrow.

The pip-squeak from Six tries to grab it as well, but I sneer at her and she backs away. Pro's of being a career I guess. People are already scared of you, and you already have a positive reputation towards the Capitol and sponsors.

I walk over to the other Careers. Ethia has got two daggers with ragged edges, one in each hand. Valen has an enormous axe and Magna has a long sword. Each weapon lethal and worthy of killing.

"So, are these your signature weapons?" Ethia questions with a grin. I don't like it.

"Yea." Replies Valen "Been training with these puppies since I was Eight"

"Can you use two axes?" Magna asks

"Yep, and I'm also pretty good with throwing axes"

The boys look at each other in approval, then I look at Ethia, she is staring at me. It feels like she is staring into my soul. I feel kind of creeped out actually.

"You can shoot?" Ethia questions to me, still staring.

"Yea, I suppose"

She turns away and walks over to one of the dummies and starts slaughtering it.

I stand about fifteen metres from a target and picture Ethia's face on it.

Bulls eye.

Florence Zappi POV (District Eleven)

Everyone runs off to the stations, but I have no idea where I want to go.

Not going anywhere near the weapons, that's for sure.

But where do I go?

If I want to get home to my mother, I kind of have to survive, so why don't I go to the plants and berries station.

I walk over there, and the girl from Five is there as well. Matilda, I think.

"Hello" the instructors says passionately. "Great! Now we have two!"

She is very elaborate. It's funny but strange.

The instructor shows us a book with various plants and berries in it.

"Now, you can usually tell if a berry is poisonous by holding it up to the sun. If it is fully transparent, you got a good berry, if you can't see through, put it down. Now circumstances can change for the Rubbey Berry, poisonous and also transparent if ..." Her words drag on into a blur.
