Anastasia:

The training center just let us out for lunch. I made my way into the cafeteria attached to the underground gym. It smelled amazing. Bread and different foods from every district were available to eat. I walked over to the District 10 food. Not that I didn't want something new, but this was one of my last days to enjoy want I had always had.

After I dished myself up, I looked for a place to sit. Some of the careers had already started eating and chatting loudly. I noticed a few more districts seemed to be teaming up. It wasn't unlikely, but it was strange. I'd have to kill everyone in this room if I wanted to make it back to Ben and Sarah.

I took a seat alone, tried up my hair, and started picking at my food. These are the people I was up against. I was only further repulsed of the careers they laughed or yelled loudly. A tray hit the area of the table in front of me and I looked up to see Ismene sitting down. District 2, she was one of the people I agreed to make a temporary alliance with. She nodded in my direction, and I returned her nod with a smirk.

She was one of the few people I had talked to in the training center that I wasn't repulsed by. The other was the tribute from District 6. Rocko Hopkins. Speak of the devil. He walked over to us, and took a seat on Ismene's left. It was us three against all of them. But we didn't even know each other that well.

Rocko hadn't become an official member of Ismene's and my alliance, but he had been next to us while we were at the first aid table. Ismene was trying to show me some things on first aid since she worked with medicine all day. Since Rocko's district partner seemed to be.. elsewhere, we invited him to sit with us.

Afterall, because being left alone only means minutes of pure torture. Thinking of how you may die. Or trying to cope with the fact your going to have to kill all these people. I like to pretend I'm a nice person. It's the least I can do. "So," I address Rocko glumly,"What happened to your district partner?"

Rocko:

After the training center session earlier today and the amount of knowledge I gained, I regretted staying in bed all day yesterday. The thoughts of Clarisse and Veronica were just too much to handle. Veronica could have committed suicide by now and I wouldn't even know, nor would I put it pass her. I just hope that last little nod I gave to Jango was enough for him to take care of her.

It was time for lunch and I slowly made myself to the cafeteria. I plan on sitting alone since I have yet to make any sort of allies, another reason I regret missing yesterday's training. Everyone seemed to be in groups already, I was not.

The cafeteria has so much food, so many options. Back in District 6, my emotions usually kept me from eating and enjoying my food. Although I am probably even more worried about things now and my stomach feels like it's full already, I decided to eat as much as I could.

I piled things on my plate, food on top of other food. My plate was at least a foot high with layers of salad, rice, fish, chicken, mashed potatoes, chocolate, carrots, and gravy. It probably looked grotesque, but I was looking forward to diving into it.

I walk over to the tables. I see a table full of obnoxious, over confident, pretty kids: The Careers. I start to head over to an empty table when I hear a girl offer me a seat. We acknowledged each other in training earlier today. Are we allies now?

She reminds me of Clarisse. Their hair is an almost identical shade of red/brown. And the fact that she has her hair in a bun makes me want to break down in tears. Her face isn't as soft as Clarisse's, but it seems that she will be the closest thing I'll have to a fix. Her name is Anastasia and I plan on making an alliance with her.

Another girl sits with her. She seems like she was once a fun girl, but now she sits in silence and I realize that she's probably thinking about the games as we all are.

"What happened to your district partner?" Anastasia asked me. Her name was Jasna and that's about all I know about her. Even on the train ride here, we didn't really talk. I stayed in my cabin most of the time. I sketched pictures of Clarisse and wrote poems about her; these things that she will never see.

"I'm not sure. I don't know her and she doesn't seem to want to know me. She seems kind of intense though, like she finds these games fun. So I don't think I really want to get to know her either," I reply. I hope I didn't just hurt myself by speaking badly about this girl. "What about yours?"

"I'm not sure. I don't know her and she doesn't seem to want to know me. She seems kind of intense though, like she finds these games fun. So I don't think I really want to get to know her either," he said sort of shruggishly. "What about yours?"

My turn to shrug. "No idea, haven't seen him in a little while. I prefer to eat alone, and not talk to anyone I don't have to. Where's your partner Ismene?" I was suddenly intrigued.

This girl was from district 2. She could have been a career. She has a much better chance then me or this other boy. Rocko, i think his name was. I was samrt,and had stamina,but I didn't think I could fight. And Rocko, well, he was build,but he didn't seem to have the ego fit for these games. But Ismene choose to team up with me. Why?

Ismene stopped eating and tried to think back, she hadn't seen the other tribute from district two since the reaping. "I honestly don't know." she said with a sigh. "He looked a tad wimpy, like a push over. I just don't think he had the motivation to win. Plus i get the feeling our personality's never really clicked." Ismene went back to eating still trying to remember when the other tribute even looked like. Finally she gave up.

"I guess all of us kinda need each other then, seeing as how we couldn't quite make things work with our district partners." Ismene knew Rocko wasn't really an official part of their alliance yet but as Ismene always said back at home. Two is a pair, three is a party. Plus haveing a guy along couldn't hurt. People always tended to try and kill the guy first.

Ismene, that is what Anastasia called this other girl eating with us. I looked over at Ismene as she finished answering the question. She was staring at me with a smirk; she seemed as though she was thinking about the way I would protect them by having a larger target on my back. I hope she is wrong.

I was looking forward to this alliance in the arena despite Ismene's obvious doubts. Both the girls seemed strong enough to handle themselves, which was good because I had to worry about myself. I work out all the time to impress Clarisse, but what's the use of my muscles if my mind is too busy whining.

I looked over at Anastasia, she seemed distraught. "Are you fighting for anyone in particular in these games?" I wondered aloud.

Was I fighting for anyone? Was fighting for my own life not good enough? Who was he to ask me such a personal question? How awfully rude. This.. this boy. Who does he think he is? This boy with muscles and and attractive green eyes. Who keeps glancing at my hair.

I suddenly worried that there was something in my hair, and took it out of it's bun. Ismene seemed amused, but I ignored her and rubbed my hand through my hair shaking out anything that would be there. Stupid Rocko. I had nicely invited him to sit with us and he pulls this. Ismene seems to have accepted him into our alliance with open arms, and I was willing to agree with anything she did. But I could tell I would butt heads with this.. boy.

"Can't I just be fighting for myself?" I snapped at him."Isn't that enough? Maybe I just want to be able to go home. Maybe I had plans for my life. Maybe I was going to travel. Do I have to be willing to win just for my parents? For my siblings? There are other reasons to want to live, Rocko." I said his name with discust. Although, it did feel nice to get all of that off my chest.

Ismene seemed ready to burst with laughter as she seemed to find my outburst amusing, and Rocko, well he looked like he was going to cry. Yeah, deffinately doesn't have the ego of a career. I felt a little bad about my outburst. And tried to redeem myself. I probably looked like a real selfish bitch in his eyes.

Ismene broke the silence, "I think tensions just run high during these games. Anything could set us off." Right again, Ismene. Always able to put it honestly.

"I'm sorry." he looked back over at me. I didn't make eye contact, instead I played with my hair, searching it for dead ends. "Why? Is there someone your trying to win the games for?" Obviously he was, or he wouldn't have asked us if we, Ismene and I, had someone. I wondered if Ismene had anyone she was fighting for. And slowly, I started to see my allies in a new light. Oh, man, please don't let these games turn me into a sappy sentimental girl.

I was taken back by Anastasia's reply. For such a tiny girl, she had an awfully big bark. It reminded me greatly of a fight that Clarisse and I hade once. I had made a snide remark about Trevor as he was fighting in the games last year and Clarisse went staight to Veronica's defense. She even took her hair out of a bun as she yelled at me.

"I'm Sorry," I said. "I didn't mean to offend you. I didn't understand her outburst, there must be someone back home that she wanted to return for; she didn't seem like that much of a loner. Although her quick defensive mood makes me see why nobody would want to create a relationship with her.

She asked me the same question back. I wonder if I should tell her of Clarisse. Would it be smarter to just keep a crush on a girl back home quiet? I mean, what if somehow another girl were to find me attractive in the games, they'd kill me if I did not return the feelings. Where as I might stay alive longer if I pretended to. I've seen the way girls look at mr at school; this situation is quite plausible.

"I have a twin sister, Veronica, back at home. I'm basically all she has. Our mother died and our father pays more attention to his precious drinks then he does us. After she lost her boyfriend last year, whom she was really attached to, in the games last year, she hasn't been the same. I don't want to leave her alone for very much longer. I need to win."

But who doesn't need to win really? Whether it be someone at home, or the need for money; we all have our sob stories. I doubt mine will get me much farther than theirs will. I looked over at Anastasia for some sort of reply. She seemed remorseful for her outburst. I looked over at Ismene, who was still surpressing laughter and waited for her reply to Anastasia's question.[/size]

Ismene felt a pange of sadness for them. They both were oveusly fighting to stay alive for not only them selfs but others. Ismene did have a lot of friends but none that couldn't live with out her and she was pretty sure her parents still resented her for her sisters death. Ismene started to wonder if she was being selfish trying to win these games, she didn't even know these people, who was she to decide that her life was more important. Damn it! Why did they have to make this personal.

She shook her head. It didn't matter, she told her self she would win and she still intended to. If any thing she was going to let this information help determine her to protect her allies. After all she knew they had something worth fighting for now.

She decided to awnser the question with honesty as she had answered the others.
"No, I have no one I'm fighting for. My friends can live with out me, my parents resent me and frankly I'm not much use to any one. So when it comes down to the three of us at the end, which I intend to make happen, feel free to kill me. I don't want any one harboring guilt or remorse for what they have done and i don't want any one holding back because when it comes down to the end i wont. Until then I will remain completely loyal to you.In the end what we do is... well its all necessary."

In her mind every word was true, but things change. She could only hope that it remained that simple to her.

After I apologized to Rocko, he seemed to accept it.But I caught him smirking to himself about something or another. Maybe he does have the ego of a career. He continued to tell us he had a twin sister. She had already lost so many. And it seemed all they had let was each other.

Ismene's statements brought brutal reality crashing down upon me. We would have to kill each other, and now that I knew that, I didn't think I could kill these two people I just allied with. One was fighting soley to live for his sister and the other was willing to let both of us live if it came down to it. Why are you making this so hard?

Deep in thoughts no one spoke for awhile. But Rocko broke the silence. It seems he liked to talk about personal stuff, and like he actually wanted to get to know us. Stupid sentimental. What was this guy?
