I wish I felt better about coming from a district with a streak which my mentors are determined to keep up, but the fact that I have three mentors, three hopes of getting sponsorship doesn't really help the fact that I know I am about to die. If I was in Iain's shoes I would feel a lot more comfortable. Coming from a victor family is sure to guarentee sponsorship galore. I bet I'm going to run into him in the middle of the games relaxing somewhere on a comfy couch and watching capitolite tv while letting his sponsored avox servents attend to his every need.
That thought almost lets a smile onto my face. Almost. I doubt any smile will save me now even if I could muster up even a toothless grin. I'm a dead girl walking. I saw the reaping playbacks on the train. I couldn't win against anyone here. There's the insane girl from four, thecutecareer guy from two, and guess what? I'm the youngest of the lot! Always destined first to die.
Even Iain is older than me and he's only fourteen!
I try to clear my mind and keep a blank expression. Hopefully no one will bother me. Hopefully I will be able to die in peace, alone. Determined to at least try and make it seem as though I cared, I started to work on the fire I was supposed to be making out of a couple of sticks.
I start twisting the stick in the maner I was told, rubbing it between my hands quickly. It hurts, but after a few minutes I feel slightly accomplished as it starts to smoak and a small fire starts up. I turn my head around to the noise of the training center. While I had been sitting here more and more tributes had trickled into the area.
First thing I notice is that a bunch of careers are already at the weapons station. My heart sinks even more as I notice the deadly precision of one career as it slices the head off a dummy like a knife cutting through warm butter. I get up from the fire making station and nod a small thank you to the instructor before I start to walk around. For a second I think about going over to the sword training station where most of the careers are lurking and try to make friends, but no, that will just show how much of a weakling I am, and plus, I thought I didn't want to make friends here?
Instead, I walked to the quiet, abandoned, knife station. No one wants the small knives, just the huge, bulky swords to sever heads with. This area is perfect. I can make it seem as though I cared while still being left alone from everyone else. With that I take a small knife by the hilt and walk over to a dummy. With a swing I take at it, I manage to create a shallow wound in the dummy's arm. Oh no, that will definetly kill. I think sarcastically to myself.
I try a bunch of different ways to swing the knife and with my full force, but still failed to achieve the damage the careers had been doing over at the sword station. I sigh, but then become stock still as I hear a noise. As I had been training someone had snuck up on me. Please just go, I think to myself, Please just go and leave me alone.[ a small doe ]
rave is amazing <33
OOC: woo lets get this trainin started!
