Autumn's POV

I wait in silence for my name to be called. So far nothing to be heard, just the small murmurs from other people that are as nervous as I am.

I sit by myself till someone walks over and sits beside me, I turn to see a smiling Jason.

"You nervous?" he asks me while putting his arm around me.

"Get away from me" I say coldly while pushing his arm of me.

"C'mon Autumn, how many times do I need to say I'm-" he says before I cut him of.

"Did you not hear what I said to you a couple nights ago, I'm out of your life! you pushed me away just like that!" I say while raising my voice a bit so he understands how mad I am.

"Autumn please I made a mistake!" he yells trying to turn me towards him but I manage to make him loose his gripe on my shoulder.

"No you made many mistakes that I had to put up with and I'm done" I say with a look of anger.

I turn to the door and hear my being called and I walk to the training center not giving a second glimpse to Jason hurt face.

As I walk I feel a little sympathy for Jason because its not like he was trying to make her come near him, although he did ditch me for her and forgot about and pretended that she was me.

I push all thoughts of Jason aside, it's my time to show these Capitol people what I've got.

"You have 15 minutes to present your chosen skills." The head game maker says. I walk over to knot tying, and quickly tie a knot, I throw one end of the rope over a fake tree branch and then run over to the camouflage training arena. I apply some of the stuff to my face and hands making sure that I will blend in with the rest of the branches, then run over to where the blow darts and blow guns are.

I pick one up and take a couple of seconds to admire it but then I remember that my time is running out.

Jason's POV

I stand there, still as rock. Just thinking about how autumn has left my life. Autumn can't leave, she is my life, she's the only good thing in my life, she makes everything shine brighter when she's with me. Now she's gone. Every day that gets closer to these games my life is ruining even more. This is what the games do, they tear people apart.

I go down to sit in the seats and find myself sitting by Dawn. She looks at me with a confused expression.

"What's wrong?" she asks me.

"Well Autumn's leaving our alliance and my life" I say with my voice a little breaky and full of sadness.

"She shattered my heart" I say with a tear rolling down my cheek.

"Did I do anything?" she asks.

"Well I guess autumn thought we were getting to close and I ditched her for you" I say feeling completely guilty.

"Oh" she says

We both sit there in silence, not really wanting to talk cause of the nerve racking wait for my name to be called.

Just as I hear my name, I stand up and walk into the training center. I remember how Autumn told me she's out of my life. That thought makes anger fill inside me, I suddenly think of president snow and how he's making us do this, now even more rage fills inside me. I look up at the game makers and see them laughing and having a ball, well I'll show them.

I walk over trying to avoid looking at the game makers but I catch some one giving a strange glimpse at me but I ignore it as I walk up to the spear course.

I grasp the spear in my hands just holding it but then realizing I must actually do something for my session.

I bring it back almost behind my head and give it all my force. The spear launches from my grasp, whistling though the air then all of a sudden I hear it hit the target, with all that force it makes a loud sound, I look at the dummy and see the spear sticking out of his left shoulder.

I pick up the next one and quickly bring it back and throw just wanting for this to be over with. This one lands in his neck a little better than before.

I pick up the next one a little disappointed from the last one. I think about autumn one more time before I throw, as the spear fly's through the air to the target, anger fills up inside me.

The spear fly's right into its heart with a loud thump. I breathe loudly with all that force I put in that spear.

I walk over to sword section and quickly grab a curved sword and start slicing up the closest dummy in my reach. With all scratches and slices in the dummy you can hardly tell what it is anymore.

I walk away with the sweat glistening off my temple. I breathe loudly and heavily, I quickly stop before the game makers recognize. I drop the sword letting it hit the ground with the loud sound of metal hitting metal. I walk away feeling a little light headed from all sword skills I've was doing and I think to myself, maybe I can win these games.
