I stand up. I've been sitting here for at least a hour now. We got to be there by now. I walk back into the entrance car, to see Effie sitting there, writing on a notepad. I sit on the small couch, where bagels with icing are out on plates. I take a small bite out of the Bagel and feel amazing. I complete the bagel, smiling. I eat a few more bagels, to kill time.
So the train comes to a halt. Effie frowns. "Oh to quick." She frowns. "Hmm?" I ask. "It's time for you to be transported to the arena." She adjusts her hair. "Already?!" I protest. "Like I said earlier. All things before the games have been canceled, including training. Huntvine doesn't want anything happening to the tributes. She wants you fresh." Effie hisses. "Terrible idea, if you ask me." She frowns. Kal comes out from another car, holding a butter knife. I see him slip it into his pocket. We walk outside, to a single security guard.
The guard ushers Kal and I to the doors. I look at him. "This is stupid. How do we survive without any training!!" He protests. The security guard smacks him. He stays quiet. The security guard nods. He turns us down a hallway, the is freezing cold. I'm pushed into an elevator that takes me down to a small room. A single girl stands there. She looks at me. "The size 8x should fit." Her eyes examine me. I stay silent. The girl hands me a pair of thick pants, a white T-shirt and a thick winter parka. She points to a small change room. Is this how it always has been? I wonder.
I change into the clothing, admiring the way I look. I step out. The girl hands me a pair of winter boots. I take off my boots, and slip the new ones on. She pushes me into a chair, where I can see my self on the wall. I frown. When was the last time I bathed? Ehh. The girl ties my hair in a bun. She looks at me. She digs through a small bag of hers, and pulls out a scarf. I look at the scarf, with sore eyes. She tosses it to me.
The scarf matireal is scratchy, but it will have to do. I sit, watching her. She pulls out earmuffs, which she also passes to me, and a pair of mittens. She hands me the mittens. They are made of the same scratchy matireal. She looks at me and nods. The girl pushes me into a doorway. The Door closes behind me, and locks. "HUH?" I bark. The room starts shifting. I feel it go upwards and to the sides. Soon, I feel it hurtle to a stop.
The Door opens, to reveal a helicopter, waiting for me. A guard ushers me on. I try to be kind to the guard, but fail miserably. I sit in the helicopter, awaiting Kal. I hear the helicopter brush the ground. The driver looks back at me. "You will be placed inside a tube from here. The floor will open. The tube will be slick, and not dangerous." He hisses. I nod. Kal steps on, and the driver repeats what he said to me. He kicks me. "I'm going to kill you." He barks.
I clench my fist. "Not if you die first." I hiss. He laughs. "In your dreams sugar trap." Kal puts his hand on his face. "I won't die. You realize, I hunted with Jewel for many years right?" "That proves nothing." I kick him. He clenches his fist too. "Jewel wouldn't want you to be like this. She would shame you. Finally she would hate you. I always wondered why she didn't hate you. You are a dirty fool" I shout. "Take that back." He shouts back at me.
"Never would I take back the truth." I scowl. He looks at me. "I always hated you. I always did." Kal mumbles. "Shut up." I hiss.
