Scylla Roxen

Training for the hunger games became her way of life. Ever since the tsunami nearly struck her down, Scylla wanted to prepare. Life and death became evident, and the devastating turn of events proved to her that she was simply mortal. Now, she flew through the training center learning weapon after weapon learning what to do and how to move. Nobody would stop her.

She gritted her teeth while swinging around at the dummy standing before her. Yeah, it wasn't a human, but it was something to start with. A sword wasn't her weapon of choice, but Scylla wanted to learn them all so that when her time came, she'd know exactly what to do.

Rubber tore, fake blood splattered across the ground. It was an amazing sight, and every time she closed her eyes, she imagined the limb tearing from the body of a low life tribute.

So much was taken away, and at the same time, so much was given to her. Scylla had a chance to learn, a chance to prove she was the best. Today was the day she would climb to the top of the tower and stand tall as everyone else would fall.
