Chapter Six


Bohemian Royal

The bell sounded for lunch.
The snare trainer, Spikelet, walked up to me.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey, you know that Seneca has been staring at you all morning." he said
"Um, no I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. . . ?" I trailed off and looked in the way of the gamemakers. Seneca Crane, the head gamemaker, had his eyes locked on me.
My stomach twisted, I don't feel good already and that is just creepy. Very creepy.

I looked around, the boy from district twelve was looking at me curiously. I smiled at him and waved. He waved back, smiling.
Hm, he seems nice. I think his name is Peeta. . . Peeta Melerk or something. Peeta Mellark! Thats what it is. Peeta Mellark and Catnip-no-Katniss Everdeen. I think she volunteered for her younger sister.
How sweet.
I grabbed a bottle of water from the thing, chugging all of it quickly.
I threw it away and retied my shoes.
I went back to my station, one of the avoxes had protective gear on.
Some tributes came up, one of them had blonde hair that was in pigtails, she looked like she was judging me. Bitch.
She came up "Glim-"
I cut her off "I didn't give you permission to speak."
She shut her mouth and pursed her lips
I smirked "Name, district, experience on a scale of one to ten"
"Glimmer, one, about an eight."
Okay, not that cocky. I can work with this.

"Step up, Glimmer. Your going to fight this avox. I will give you tips and pointers."
I saw Jax out of the corner of my eye, he was at the climbing thing. He fell, I cringed.

Glimmer stepped up, she and the avox started fighting.
"Fix your posture. Don't go for the most obvious place, like for example the face, they will expect that. Go for somewhere like, here" I stopped them and went up to Glimmer, she was rather tall, I straightened my hand out flat.
"Go for the kidney, it hurts." I pressed my hand where her kidney would be.
"I'll show you" I said
I turned to the avox and gave her a sorry look.
I jabbed her hard in her right side. She dropped to the ground, holding her wound-which I know will bruise-in pain.
Glimmer laughed "I'll keep that in mind."
She walked off and more tributes came.

I walked into my room, only to find my prep team standing in there, the awful smell of roses hung in the air. A note was on my bed.


Finnick Odair

"So how did training go?" I asked, picking at a piece of bread.
My male tribute, Flie, shrugged "The hand-to-hand trainer beat the hell outta me. "
I chuckled "Thats Bo for you"
My female tribute, Kleea, looked at me curiously "Bo?"
I nodded, swallowing "Bohemian Royal, 69th games victor. Also the hand-to-hand trainer. She's very. . .brutal, at least that's what I've heard. She doesn't play around."

Mags nodded and said something about "She's strong for her age"
Flie grinned "She's hot."
Something inside me got very angry "Thats very degrading of you to say Flie. She is more than looks. Much more than looks." I said angrily.
He looked taken aback "I wasn't saying that I wanted to do things to her, I was just saying that she's attractive. And I know you have a thing for her so don't be so protective."
I rolled my eyes and stood up, tossing my napkin on the table "I'm done eating"
I sauntered back to my room and slammed the door.
Okay, maybe I'm overreacting. Just a little.
Okay more than a little. But that made me mad!
There was a scream somewhere in the building. I feel like I know that scream. Huh, whatever.
I stripped down to my undergarments and climbed in bed.

Bohemian Royal

I shut the door to the little apartment quietly, my legs wobbling.
I yanked off my heels and rushed to my room, it's about four in the morning, I starting taking off my dress.
I ended up ripping it, almost in half.
I yanked the pins out of my hair and brushed it out with my fingers. I stripped all the way and got in the shower.
I turned in the water, to the hottest it could possibly get.
The scalding water cascaded down my body, burning as it went.
I washed my body--twice.
I washed my hair and then my body again.
I turned off the water and stepped out, grabbing a fluffy white towel and wrapping it around myself.

This is one of the nights that I almost cried myself to sleep.

When I woke up, everything from my waist down was sore.
I stood up but I immediately sat back down. Ouch. This hurts.
I'm staying in bed today.
After about twenty minutes, Pumpkin came rushing in "Get up! Get up!"
I shook my head saying "Not today Pump, not today."
I fell asleep soon after he left.

I woke up to Puma shaking me, "You have a visitor. "
"Well I can't walk. " I retorted
"I shall send him back, along with some food."
I nodded "Thanks"
Soon Finnick walked in, carrying a bowl of soup.
"Why haven't you been training today?" he asked, handing the soup and a spoon.
I stretched "Can't really train if you can't even stand" I said, starting to eat.
"You're serious?"
I nodded, swallowing the soup-which was vegetable soup might I add- "Last night I got back around four thirty. God it was awful."
He frowned, his handsome face looked troubled "Who was it? If you know their name."
I looked down "Seneca Crane."
