Arabella's P.o.v

My stylist told me that she would help me look pretty even though I only have one arm now.
The dress I am wearing is a light green down to my knees with a lacey flower pattern around my collar. It looks so pretty.

"Come on Arabelle, lets go." My stylist announced.

"Where's Billy?" I asked.

"He's on his way." My stylist replied quickly.

I just nod and I head to the elevator, my mentor Aspen joins me.

"How was the first day of training Arabella?"Aspen questioned her eyes looking into mine.

"It was okay, it's kind of hard though." I responded.

"I understand, but did you trying the technique I told you about? "Aspen asked.

"Yeah, I did." I replied.

A moment later the elevator stopped and Aspen headed over to the mentor table.
I freeze for a moment unsure of were to sit, the rowdy boy from District Two is sitting with the boy from three, the boy from six and the boy from eleven.
I spot the girl from five whispering with her district partner, they keep looking at me.

"Hey, come sit by us." Gavin yelled.

I walk over and take a seat next to Gavin and Heaven.

"Hello." I squeaked nervously.

"Don't be afraid we aren't going to hurt you." Heaven said soothingly.

"Promise?" I whispered.

"We promise." Heaven replied putting her hand on my shoulder.

I sigh in relief, a few minutes later President Swirl enters the room.

"It's wonderful to see all the tributes and mentors come together for the wonderful feast before the slaughter in a few days, may the odds be ever in your favor tributes because this year I promise only one of you will win." President Swirl said looking at each of the tributes.

"You look really pretty Arabella." Gavin whispered into my ear, I don't know why but I blush.

"Thank you Gavin." I whispered trying to hide my blush.

"Would you like to ally with us?" Heaven asked.

"I would love to." I replied.

That's when an avox comes and serves us a delicious soup.
It tastes of something I have never had before.
Whatever it is it's pretty wicked.

I've found an alliance, so maybe I have a chance to win now, even though I am only a thirteen old girl with one arm.
