Hunger Games- The Lovers Of District 2 (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 5: I Don't Think Sorry Will Cut It

>Nathan's POV<

"Uhh I'm soo tired." I stated as I woke up. The room was still dark, but I decided to get out of bed. I quickly changed into some nice fitting sweats and a tight undershirt. I opened the door, and quickly went to the kitchen, where Clover was already eating. "Morning Clover." I said sleepily. "Hey!! Morning to you too" Clover said, looking at me.

(Hour Later)

Alone in the training center, I was busy throwing knifes and throwing stars at a human dummy. None of the trainers where here either. I then removed all the weapons that were stuck in the dummy, and put them back to where they were. In the corner of my eye, a light is turned on a station I haven't seen before. I heard the silent clanking noise and then I slowly walked over, afraid what might be in there.

When I entered the station, there was a very old man sitting there in a white samurai kimono, cross-legged, polishing his samurai sword. "Sit down young one." The man said. I then kneel down and asked, "What station is this? I haven't seen it before." The man looked at me and said, "This is the combat center. This is where you handle weapons like swords, tomahawks, and other heavy weapons while dealing with the other tributes."

"So when do we get started?" I asked, with a chuckle afterwards. "When you pick your weapon." All the light in the station glowed in a deep crimson color. There were so many weapons. From swords, tomahawks, and weapons I never knew existed. I then picked up a weapon that had definitely caught my eye. It was a deep red and black handled samurai sword. I picked it up and swung it around.

I moved to one of the human dummies and I swung the blade right across the middle, splitting the dummy in half. Then my reflexes suddenly heightened and I sliced the dummy down the middle. When I put the sword to my side, the dummy fell into four different pieces. I turned back to the old man and asked, "What is this weapon?"

He motioned me to sit, and then I approached him, kneeling down in front of him. He put his polished sword in its case and set it down in front of him. He looked at me and said, "It is a spirit weapon that has been passed down from generation, to generation. I sense it has a liking to you." I smiled and then he said, "Why don't we test your abilities with that sword?" I looked at him and asked, "How?" He laughed and said, "By battling me of course. After all, that was my sword when I was at the young age." Oh gosh this is going to be difficult.

>Peeta's POV<

"You two go now and head to the training center." Effie said in he high-pitched, proper voice. I got up and went to the elevator. Katniss finally pressed the button down to the training center. When the doors opened, there was a crowd of tributes surrounding a unfamiliar station. Katniss nodded and we walked over to see all the commotion. As we were on our way, we heard clanking noises and grunts. I then saw Rue, grabbing her by the shoulder and spinning her around, I asked, "What is happening here?"

Then a guy about a few inches taller than me who was from District 1 said, "Some kid from District 2 is practicing with this really good swordsman." Katniss and I pushed through the crowd. When we were finally in front of everyone, there was Nathan sparring with this old samurai. Nathan had only small cuts on his arm, but the old guy was perfectly fine. "Okay!! Now!!" The guy said. Then Nathan dropped his sword, and took out the tomahawk from his belt and threw it directly at the guy.

The man jumped high enough, dodging the tomahawk, and instead it hit the practice dummy in the middle of its face. Then the man does a couple of handsprings back, and retrieves it. Then Nathan accidentally stumbles, dropping his sword. The man throws the tomahawk direct to his face. When it was a few inches away from killing Nathan, he grabbed the quickly moving blade with his hands. The man charged at him quickly.
