Orion Hammerfell
An odd sense of purpose fills me now. I'll train, I'll talk to people, but I have this odd sense of purpose. I've volunteered now, but there's three others from home with me. It won't matter when I die. I say when due to my lack of ability to kill. Or desire anyway. Today there'll be time to train and eat. I'm not looking forward to that. Mainly because I know what's coming. What must Katelyn think of me volunteering after everything I told her? What I said to her compared to the reaping would make me appear as a liar. She will want to talk when she finds me. I'm afraid to tell her why. Its because I've lost the will to live. No one needs me anymore. No one depends on me. Maybe my cousin Odysseus, but he has his best friend Derek. I didn't get to know Derek all that well, but he's exactly what my cousin needs. Someone to be there for him. Me? I miss my brother.
I step into an elevator that'll take me down to the center. No one with me except the escort. I'd rather get an early start to the few things I want to learn. Like plants. Maybe even figure out new first aid stuff. I don't plan on killing, but I would like to live for as long as fortune allows. I'm not sure what to think of my fellow district partners. Circe is an interesting one. She also had a family member in the games a long time ago. As does one of my other district partners. Elya. If looks could kill then she'd be it. She's pretty yes, but her resemblance to Dan is most frightening. Dan scared the living crap out of me and Elya gives off that same vibe. I'm afraid to even look at her.
Elevator opens and I step out. I wont lie. It's extremely frightening to be standing here like my brother surely must have. So many things to do. So much to learn. Not much time to do it in either. My first thing I want to do is first aid. Learn more about it. What I know will not be enough in the arena. When I see Katelyn off in the distance presumably waiting for her own mentee, I decide the first thing I want to do is go back into the elevator and wait for everyone else to come down. Perhaps then I can blend in and hope to Ripred that I don't see her. When I turn around to see the elevator going back up, I sigh. Someone else must be coming down. I look around and imagine there's no place to hide here. The banquet hall. My escort told me that's where tributes will eat. Its also where I will hide for a while until more people show up. It's nice and quiet here. Nobody to bother me. Nobody to ask why I volunteered when in all reality I'm not sure I wanted to. Looking around it seems safe, and I sigh to myself. Freedom for a moment.
