The 34th hunger games

chapter 8

I woke up to my prep team, Rosely,Dayton, Tandoori and Hugo staring at me. I was in my room, on my bed, in the training center. "how long have I been out?" I ask trying to sit up, then Dayton pushes me down.

" a day." Rosely says, still awed,as if I were dead and came back to life. I can always count on her to tell the truth.

" alright, people give me space, I'm going to training." I say trying to sit up, and once again, I'm pushed down by Dayton.

" no.your staying here." he says. I sit up again and push his hand away.

"I'm fine, just a little wobbly and sore." I say, standing up and walking/crawling over to my dresser where the Jump suit lay.

"I'm going."  I say and walk toward the bathroom to get dressed.

"no. no your not." Dayton says.

"oh, yeah?Watch me."I say and close the door.

I put on the jump suit and go down to break fest. No really talks and Hugo helps sneak me in the elevator." thanks,for helping me down to the training center." I say in the elevator.

" no problem, by the way, tonight Dayton tells us our allies.who we made promises.They can see us in the training center, so he would know." he informs me.

"perfect, so he knows I want Wiley and district 12." I say sarcastically.

" nonsense, Wiley is very smart and  district 12 will know a lot about fires.so far so good." he says. The elevator dings to let us know were at the training center. The door opens and the tributes look at me like I'm crazy. Which I am.The careers come running up to me and quickly ask if I can throw. "I don't know, let's find out." I say, removing my medical bracelet.I didn't even realize that it was there till now. I walk toward the axe station.

"what are you doing?" the boy from district 2 asks. "don't tell me you throw axes to. That would be perfect, this alliance would dominate." he says smiling.I roll my eyes playfully.

I grab an axe and throw it. it hit the third red circle on the target. Then I got mad. I don't get mad often, only when I lose pride. Then I start to throw axes nonstop,hard and quick. they get closer to the middle each time and I throw them harder and harder until they hit they middle of the target. I didn't know I was cable of such power and strength.maybe the odds are ever in my favor. I stomp off to the knife throwing station so it would be easier. I bring out 5 dummies and line them up. one in front of the other.I also put a target behind them. Then with all my power, I  threw one knife that held all my strength. Life and death depended on what would happen.

It went right through all 5 dummies and hit the middle of the target behind them.

" that is very, um , skilled." Hugo says dropping a hand on my shoulder."thank you.I try." I said jokingly. The rest of the training session is survival skills. I walk around that part of the training center where the fire,plants and knot tying stations are. I masters all Three by the time to leave.

"that was the last session in the training center." Hugo says. "last chance to impress." he adds.

"I think I did good at the impressing thing."I say.

"yeah, you did good on your part." he says.

"thanks." I say quietly. "thank you, really you deserve an honest, thank you." I say looking down.

"for what?" he says. curiousness leaking into his voice.

"you started it. Backed me up when we asked if we could go over to the knife throwing station. Thank you." I said still not making eye contact.

"what was that? I started it?" he chirped.

"careful, other wise you'll end up with the careers in the blood bath." I say looking at his face.

The elevator dings to let us know that were there.

Dayton runs up to me right when I get out of the elevator. " the mentors are talking now with the idea I pitched to them."  he says leading us over to a couch.

"what was the idea?" I ask. "the one I told you about, attacking the careers then going to find the group.I'll be right back." he says. he walked steadily down a hallway and opened a door. He didn't have to walk in. they greeted him at the door. They started talking and glancing at us every once in a while. he walked over to us and beckoned us into the room. the other tributes were there. District 3,12,7 and the boy from 8. and of course district 4,us.

"we have decided that all of you will be allies. is there any rejections?" the district 12 mentor asks. no one objected so he told us the plan. District 4 and 7 were to hold off the careers while everyone else gets a weapon and gets away from the cornucopia. Then we would meet south of the blood bath, where ever it is in the arena. I said I could lead the small pack of district 4 and 7 cause, weirdly, I am like a walking compass. "we want you to lead the entire pack, once your together again.until then Wiley will lead.any rejections?" he asks again.no one objected so we all agreed and went back to each of their quarters so they don't get in trouble by peace- keepers. we went over this strategy over and over that night.
