Children of War

My Prep Team

"If you haven't noticed you're already late for training" Effie spoke.

Now that we are finally here they gathered up all the other tributes and a dark lady stood on a small podium and finally spoke:

"In 1 week 23 three of you will be dead and one alive,who that is depends on how much you pay attention over the next four days, so lets get is straight there is to be no fighting each tribute, you'll have plenty of time for that in the arena" she laughed the last bit.

"There are four compulsory exercises. The rest are up to your standard choices. My advice is do not ignore the survival skills, every one wants to grab a sword but most of you will die from natural causes such a infection and dehydration. Exposure can kill as easy as a knife"

With that we were sent to the four compulsory exercises which being were: climbing, knife throwing, strength annualiser and sword aiming.

Once the four are completed we had another 3 hours to go through workshops of choice.

I visited the some of the survival skills such as: knots and noose, camp fire and others but it wasn't like I didn't already know anything it was just to refresh my memory.

Harry was over with the swords and what I assume to be the wealthy district alliance which in this case I assume he has joined for this year.

As I am in the middle of camouflage I am blending in to be a shady blue rock I look over to Harry to slicing the heads off manikins .

He smirks at me and points to the doll lying on the floor then points to me to say I am the doll he going to kill.

The training session went by when we are handed over to our make up crew. The three I'm stuck with are , Flavius, Octovia and Viena.

They place me on a small pedostool and examine my body and mumble something about 'She's so hairy', like have they looked at them selfs they look like they come from mars. Covered in bleached skin, weird tattoos, and abnormal eye lashes, like who do they think they are?

They also talk about how they have to rush every thing because the first day they are supposed to have a full day with us and the training begins tomorrow well should.l

They take me over to a bed and lay me down. It is hard and I am lying there naked which isn't very comfortable.
I lie there for a few moments when they come over with flat sticks and and a pot of goo and paper?

Flavius speaks 'this only hurt a bit' oh shit.

With the sticks they spread it all over my legs. Then they stuck the sheet of paper down on the goo.

*RIPPPP* they rip off the paper taking the god damn skin off my bone !

I screech at the pain.

They repeat this in any hairy areas and they did other stuff, which I rather not talk about.

I stand there again on the pedostool as they look at my naked body satisfied. When your with my team there's no hiding.... Any thing.

They put a robe around me and laid me on the bed and left me in a room. Cheers.

The room is a silver tin.

I lay there for countless minutes, bored.

Suddenly the door flies open and who I assume to be Cinna. Flavius told me that is our dresser.

"That was very brave" he spoke.

He was a dark man and solid but not over solid.

I just hummed

"Fire" he spoke again.

"What?" I questioned

"Your costume, Fire, for Bengal brave and the first ever volunteer for district twelve"
He smiled warmly.

He had a trace of gold eyeliner on which is much better than what I've seen of the Capitol so far.

Harrys and I's costume is absolutely brilliant, I am thrilled with the idea of flames.

Unlike a few years ago before Cinna was around they dressed our now dead tributes naked and coved in coal dust, representing our coal mining district.

" don't be scared" he spoke as Harry and I are in the chariot and are moments away
From going out there.
