Slowly. Carefully. Precisely. I looked down the body of my arrow and focused on the tip. I aligned it with the blue target. I released my fingers one by one. The arrow flew off the string. Silently, it cut through the air, keeping it's straight posture. The tip pierced the target, and the world returned to my senses.

People talked around me, grunted, and yelled. the metal of swords clinked together and fists met the rubber of dummies. I gathered my thoughts and retrieved the arrow slowly. I smiled at my work. Right on target. I placed the arrow back in my quiver and went to go get a drink. I placed the quiver against the wall. it was a gift from my father. Pure white with black and gold embroidery on the seams. A beautiful thing.

I retrieved my water bottle and took a huge drink. The cool liquid flowing smoothly down my throat, satisfying my dry mouth. I took my small rag and wiped the sweat off my head. For some reason, when ever i shot an arrow, I went into a kind of trance. Focused and determined to shoot the little blue circle placed firmly in the middle of the red and white rings. It was like the whole world was a blur except for the tip of the arrow and my target. What seemed like a millennium was only a couple seconds when I shot an arrow.

I leaned against the wall and watched other careers fight each other and aim for their targets. I only had one year left in the reaping, and for some reason, I truly wished I could be reaped so I could show off my skills, finally make something of myself and my life.

It was too early to be up, the moon was still out, and I would've been content to sill be asleep. I grumbled as I pulled myself out of bed. I found a shirt on the floor and pulled it on. I walked down the stairs, and right out the door. I had walked half a block before I realized I didn't have any shoes. I decided it was too far to go back, so I just kept going. This road seemed endless and I felt like I had been walking forever. The training center was in sight, and I sighed with discomfort as I neared it.

I pushed the heavy stainless steel doors open, and the sound of clanking metal filled my ears. The sight of kids fighting, wrestling, and preparing themselves for death made me shiver. I'm not a career, and I never would be, but I had to drop something off. My brothers were careers, which explains to you why I am in this dreadful place. I knocked on the office doors and slid in. The man behind the counter looked bored, like he would rather be anywhere but here. He raised his eyebrows at me, and I handed him the papers. He snatched them out of my hand and shooed me out of the office.

Why would anyone want to do something like this? It just really showed what our world had come to, a living hell. It really was, and I seriously doubted anyone would deny that. But on the bright side, both of our tributes are still alive right now. We really hoped one of them would pull through this year, but who knows. Anything can happen in the hunger games. I just hoped I would never get picked, but I have five years to go. If only I could grow up just a little faster.

I went over to get a drink of water from the fountain and there was a girl just standing there.
In the training center? One does not simply stand around in the training center. So obviously she didn't seem to care to much about things.
Hmm, I think I could have fun with this one. "So, obviously you're not too worried about yourself are you?" Maybe that was a tad too sarcastic, but oh well. I took a long drink of water, and smirked at her.

"So, obviously you're not too worried about yourself are you?" came a small voice next to me. I turned with an annoyed look on my face to see a yong boy standing next to me, obviosly not a Career. He had red hair, clear blue eyes, and, no shoes? That surely was odd. Now I really knew he wasn't a career. "A girl can't get a drink of water? I've been training for three hours straight, and I see your not a career so why do you care?" I shot back at him. I took another sip and placed the bottle back in the bag taking the bow from against the wall and an arrow in hand and quickly shot over the heads of 4 Careers into the red target. "You don't get that, with out caring about yourself."

"Really, are you positive about that?" I raised my eyebrows and wandered over to a knife. I found the line on the ground, and stood myself right behind it. I took aim, and whirled the knife through the air.It was like an arrow, smooth and silent. It hit right next to the bullseye, not perfect, but pretty dang close. You feel like a career after growing up with two of them. I've learned not to put up with crap, and right now, I was not about to get trash talked by a goody two shoes career.

I walked over to the water fountain that the girl was at, and I got myself a cup of water. "Ah, so refreshing, that was so much work." I sneered, my eyes overflowing with mockery. "I'm Tejas by the way, but I seriously doubt you give a crap." I threw the cup away in a nearby trash can, and I made my way back over to the girl. I pushed my hair out of my face, and brushed off my shirt. "So why do you do this kind of stuff? Doesn't it get old after a while?"

i watched, a bit in awe as he flung the knife next to the bullseye. Ok, ya I was impressed, but I was still much better than him. maybe I made some wrong assumptions, he had no shoes, wearing an older shirt, and just didn't look careerish. I nodded in agreement as he turned back to me flipping his orange hair out of his face. His name was Tejas, an odd name. "That's a unique name, I'm Bryony, but you probably don't give a crap." I snapped back mockingly. "So why do you do this kind of stuff? Doesn't it get old after a while?" he said. I didn't even have to think about the answer to that one.
"I do this so I can win."

"I don't know, I mean I couldn't live with myself after I murdered other children, but that's just me I guess." I raised my eyebrows and I tried to catch her reaction to this. I sat down, and rubbed the dirt off of my hands. "You know, you don't have to treat me like a little kid, I mean I'm thirteen. I don't take things for granted, and don't you dare ever take me as a career. That would be the end of your career." My rants often left me mad at myself, and that was the case at the moment. I put my head in my hands and looked at the floor.

He seemed serious about the whole, kid killing thing. Everyone knows we don't really have a choice though, the world is brutal and your going to have to make some sacrifices. "You know, you don't have to treat me like a little kid, I mean I'm thirteen. I don't take things for granted, and don't you dare ever take me as a career. That would be the end of your career." he also says seriously. He seemed pretty upset about that. Probably got treated that way at home, and I guess i was treating him a little like a child. As for the career part, "You sure do act like a career. Throw well, stuck up, confident, and really full of yourself. Kind of like the rest of us." I snicker. It was true though, almost every career was identical like that, including me.

Honestly, her words took me by shock. "Well, as for throwing well, that's about the third time I've ever laid my hand on a knife. Two, if you don't have confidence, the world will walk all over you like a door mat. Lastly, I have two brothers who are careers by choice, so I have to put up with their crap." I let out a long breath of air. "My parents don't care if I get reaped or not, on the same note they probably wouldn't care if I died either. I mean they love me, but, well, I don't know." I wasn't quite sure if the last thing I said was true or not.

"So you do this to win?" I asked curiously, as I picked up a nearby weapon and fingered it gently. It was short sword, and the hilt glimmered in the sun. I felt like I had power in my hands, and it actually felt strangely good. I didn't like this feeling, in fact it really bothered me. I set it down gently, and walked back over to Bryony. "Excuse the fact I have no shoes, I kinda had to get over here fast." I tried to act cool and lean up against the wall, but I missed the edge and fell backwards.

"So you do this to win?" he asked curiously looking over a weapon. I nodded, "I don't do it for fun."

[/color] I scoffed looking him over. I then turned my attention back to his dirty feet, raising an eyebrow. It was a little odd, and very rare to find a boy with no shoes in district two. He seemed to take notice, "Excuse the fact I have no shoes, I kinda had to get over here fast." he explained. I nodded sarcastically and drew one of the arrow from the quiver and fingered the tip gently as Tejas attemptemted[/s] to lean against the wall, but instead he feel backwards. I could help but laugh but quickly ran around and held out my hand to help him up.

I was reluctant, but I took her hand as I got up. "Thanks." I mumbled under my breath. "So, the reaping is coming up soon right? I have really attempted to keep up with these things. Do you happen to know my brothers? The train here pretty much every day, and I had to run up some paperwork. Trust me, if I didn't have to be here, I wouldn't." I scoffed as a kid fell off of a ropes course, doing my best to not fall over laughing.

"I'm guessing you want to be reaped? I mean, isn't that how most of your type is? I mean, I don't understand your type at all, but that's what I've taken from watching my brothers." I looked around, not sure if I was impressed with what I saw or what. I blew my hair out of my face and looked her in her deep brown eyes. "Look, I don't know you that well, but if you get reaped, win for me okay? My brothers wouldn't, in fact, they would probably kick me to the streets if they won." I turned my back on her, knowing I had already said too much.
