Bella walked around the training center in awe of what it was. A stone cold prison that wreaked of fear and perspiration. She couldn’t believe it when she got here, but this was happening and there was only so much she could do before she was thrusted into the arena. She took a deep breath as she tried to remember the faces as she saw them. All of them looked like they either wanted to be here, or they didn’t want to be here. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but something told her that this group was going to be an interesting one. Some of them shared similarities to past tributes, which meant that some of them had to be related. Bella couldnt imagine being in that situation. Now that she had met Saffron Lowe, she could only imagine how she felt as she watched two of her sisters go into the games themselves. However they didn’t make it out alive, which was a scary though in itself. Bella knew that she would try her hardest to make it out, but she knew that she would have to fight through the other that were here with her, and she didn’t like her chances one bit.
There were killers here. There were people who knew more than Bella. She didn’t have much knowledge of anything, but the one thing that Bella did have was growing up fast. She learned things quickly just to accommodate people. She cared a lot about others and their wellbeing, and while that probably wouldn’t get you far in the games on the merit, it could get her far. If she could use her nurturing side to gain favor, maybe she could survive for a couple days before having a sword lodged deep within her skull. She hated thinking like this, but the reality was settling in, and she was going to have to come to terms with it faster than she wanted too.
There was a high chance that she wasn’t going to make it out, but she was going to try. That was all she could do.
Her sights were drawn to Caine, who was near the foresty part of the training center. As Bella walked near it, she could feel a slight chill to it, like the temperature here was drastically different from the rest of the center. He was perched on a log, taking a stick and kneeding it into the wood that below it.
He was trying to make a fire.
Bella took a big gulp and decided that this was the first thing that she needed to learn. Why? She needed to conquer her fear, because the chill in the air was a sign that something wicked was coming their way, and that meant that Bella had to be prepared for anything.
”Hey Caine.” Bella said in a sweet voice as she knelt down to join him in what he was doing. ”So, uh, making fires I see.” Bella gave a nervous laugh, still not sure how comfortable she was around fires. She had to admit, that was her biggest fear, but it was something that she was going to have to put on the back burner if she was going to do well in the arena. ”Do you mind if I watch?” She said hesitantly. She clutched the locket that she had around her neck, knowing what fire actually meant to her.
However, she needed to get over it. She needed to conquer her fear.
She needed to be invincible.
Or at least make it seem that way.
