The rise of Panem

Chapter 12

"Thank you," I say. A man gathers us all around. "Hello, I am Alex, Mags dad," he says. Mags jumps up and waves. "Hi daddy," she yells. "We start the rebellion tomorrow, but we need to see your skills so we see if you need last minute training," they say. I grabs a bowl and pulls out a name. "LOUIE," he yells. He stands up and heads for the pile if weapons. He scans a little while before settling on an axe. He heads over to the axe station. He hesitates before he starts to swing. He was amazing. He hit 5 dummy's at once. Mags squealed, Haley sighed, and everyone else clapped. He picks out another name. "SAMANTHA," he yells. "Good luck," Niall says. She runs to the archery station and starts to shoot. She shoots all the dummy's in the center of there heart. More claps than Louie. I thought they were equally amazing. Alex, however, stays expressionless. He picks another name. "HALEY," he yells. She grabs a spear and walks slow steps to the spear station. She threw the spear. The spear went fast as it landed on the dummy's heart. Right in the center. More claps. We have some fighters that are sure to make us win. He calls name by name. Zayn throws knifes, Mags had a real talent with her sword, and Niall was amazing with the trident. The came my dad, who was also amazing with the spear. Sofia had an amazing Archery talent just like Samantha. "BAILEY," he calls. I stand up. I move, step by step, to the pile of weapons. I scan the weapons and find the sword that Mags used. I was walking toward the sword fighting station the same pace as my heart was beating. When I finally got there, I hesitated for about a minute. What if I wasn't as good as the others. The only one who was nervous was Louie, but he barely was. "GO," Alex said. I swing my sword up as I attack the dummy's. I leap on the first dummy and stab it repeatedly in the heart. Then I fly to the next dummy and cutting off its head while I was in the air. I do a forward roll when I get on the ground and I bury my sword tip in the next ones stomach. There was one more left. I grab the sword and hold it up. I make a sound between a scream and a groan and hit the dummy. I turn and face everyone, who spent there time staring. The gasped and clapped. Alex slaps me on the back, where I had a back cramp. "I want you to lead us," he said.
