The rise of Panem

Chapter 42

In my dream, I was surrounded by the mutts that caused Ivy's gruesome death. They were caving in, and by the time they were about to bite me, I notice something. The mutt in front of my face had Hazel eyes and had brown fur. My mother! I saw Rocky, Ivy, and my other dead ones. It was Alex who bit off my head.

When I woke up, sunlight was peaking through my window and shining on my brown, messy hair. I get up and walk to the kitchen. I felt like some one was following me. The mutts from my dreams!!! I turn around, but it was only the not so hot anymore Louie. I thought he was just coming to breakfast to serve us, but he was signaling me to follow him. If I don't go, I might be in trouble, but Louie looked like it was an emergancy. I sigh and follow him. After all, he was my friend. He took me to a stack of papers. Wait, they weren't just papers! They had something on them. The first one was him at a store. The next thing was him paying for a ring, but he was admiring the cashier, which looked like HALEY! The next was him giving the ring to her. The next was them kissing. Each picture had a different picture of there love story. The last picture was him being separated from Haley. On the bottom corner were the words, You are my infinity. "Wow, you love Haley," he said.

We were then sitting down for breakfast that poor Louie served. "Today, make some allies and train with them," said Aedin. "Use your manners though," Effie blurts. "You call that manners," I whisper to Niall which caused us to giggle uncontrollably. "Go try on your outfit," Riker said. He didn't say where it is, so I guess I have to look for it. Kinda like one of those lame scavenger hunts Sofia does with her Girl Scout troop. Finally I find it, but it turns out Niall already did. It was a jumpsuit with the number 2 on the shoulder. I put my hair in a high ponytail, swinging it after putting it in.

We are in the same elevator as those district 4 lovebirds. I learn there names are Brookson and Brook. "Can we be allies," asks Niall. Brookson put his finger on his chin in thought. "Please say yes," I start to pray. I need them. "Only if you can keep Brook alive," he said. I was going to say no, because I was already protecting Niall, but he bear me too it. "Of course we will," said Niall. We shake hands, but then Brookson and Brook go back to making out. I've seen my parents make out all the time when I was about 5, but nothing like this.

When the elevator opened, we were face to face with the training room. There where stations everywhere. Some for survival, and some for fighting. We just hung out while those District 4 idiots start kissing again.

The training instructor gives us our schedule and releases us. I look around until I find the girl from, firing arrows at the plastic dummies. For the biggest weirdo in the one direction fandom, she never missed, hitting them in the heart. I head over there and start tapping on her shoulder. I guess I must've startled her, because she started to scream and whipped her loaded no at me. She gasped and lowered her bow. "Niall's district partner, OMG," she squeaked. Ok, I had to do something to earn her as a ally. "Actually, Niall is my friend, Liam is my boyfriend, and Louie is my Avox," I say. She starts screaming louder. "We have to be allies," she said. I knew it would work. You see, my sister had a list of tips in order to make people do what you want without asking them. "Ok," I say casually. She then looks like she is lost in thought, and she starts to fangirl louder. "Are you Bailey, OMG, you won the backstage visit, the whole fandom, including me, and now we are all jealous of you," she screamed. I wave and leave the station as she continues hitting dummies.

I see Niall throwing spears with the boy from 1. The girl from 4 was amazing with axes while the boy was the trident scientist. We have our allies, so I start training for real. Stabbing dummies with swords, making shelter, tree climbing, etc.

Finally, it's time for lunch. I sit with Niall and both from 1 and 4. "My name

is Bailey, and this is Niall, Brookson and Brook are over there," I say. "I'm Caleb," says the boy from 1.

The girl from 1 just stares at Niall. Caleb taps on her shoulder, but when he did, something reflected back at me. Jealousy, love, and sadness. "Oh, sorry, my name is Jenna," she says. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are Jenna," said Caleb. Jenna looked like she didn't even care the slightest bit. "Cool," she says going back to staring at Niall. Caleb puts his head on the table and cries into his arm. Since he was next to me, I could hear him whispering something.

"I wish she loved me and not Niall."
