The 74th Hunger Games.

Arena, Day 2.

Katniss's POV.

I sit at the computer desk that pans on only tributes from district Twelve. The room is a good size, set with twelve diffeent desks.

I chose to sit somewhere in the middle. District Seven, Two, Four, Nine, Ten and Eleven are on my right, District Six, Three, Five and One sit on my left.

The room is rectangular, and there are no lights, giving the room a blue glare from the computers. It makes the room more quiet, and some mentors even sleep on the couches here.

The left side of the room is lined with comfey black leather couches and a Kureg machine. The right holds only the door.

The mentors of Eight and Nine have already left; they've no reason to stay.

I rub my eyes and look back at my screen. Lola is asleep, partially hidden by a rocky outcropping. A fine, sugary layer of snow dusts her.

I sigh. This arena is beautiful. Why must they all be so beautiful? But it is not normal beautiful, it is alien.

The mountains, shallow creeks, the pine trees and the rocks. The snow and the huge cliffs, the rocks a pink colour from the inside out. I've only ever seen these rocks beside the train tracks, through the empty area's between districts.

I blink, trying to think of what I can do. She doesn't need anything yet, but that doesn't mean the money won't be usefull later on.

Un-clenching my hands from the side of the desk, I push out my rolling chair. Getting up, I breeze out of the office, the door sliding clossed behind me with a gentle click.

Lola's POV.

I wake to the sound of a slight beeping. I open my eyes to see a silver parachute land in front of my nose. I gasp and sit up, looking into the basket that is attached to the parachute.

Inside is six rolls from Twelve. I pick up and read the note on top.

"'Conserve"'

-K

I wrap them up and put them in my pack. Resting my head, I go back to sleep.

I'm sorry this chapter is really short, but I wanted to get some of Katniss's POV. So yeah. The next chapter will still be day two, but we'll go back to Lola's POV.
