Chapter IX - Training Days

My eyes shot open to hear loud bangs repeating in a pattern. "Bailey!? Get up!" I heard Amelie's voice screech from behind the door. I groaned as I built up the energy to swing my feet out of the bed. "Take this and be here before 9:00." Amelie said as she slid a black suit with boots under the door. I glanced at the clock at it read 8:50.The clothes had my district number on the sides and back. I stood up and grabbed the clothes and slid them on.

I walked to my door and grabbed the door handle and twisted it open. I walked down the hall and started to run down the hall a bit. I entered the main room where Ace, Amelie and Slade was already there seated on the couch next to the TV. Ace looked tired and you could see dark circles under his eyes.

"We need to go at 9:55 and the training starts At 10 o'clock." Amelie said while looking at a peice paper. Ace nodded and I did as well. I sat down also on the couch next to Ace.

"Today is one of the most important days of your life. Today you make allies." Slade said leaning over to talk to us.

"Ok" I nodded.

"Show them skill, anyone is up to team with a good person." Slade said and leaned back and swung his leg over his other leg.

"We have no skill!" Ace snapped at Slade with frustration.

"That's what the training for." Slade said scanning us. "Ace, get a sword and since you worked on the trains you can be able to get a big backpack. Bailey, get throwing knives and a smaller backpack to support your weight. Try to do everything in the training center." Slade continued.

By time I was also leaning back on the couch and Ace was more engaged than me.

"Everything there is something important to tree climbing to edible plants and insects." Slade instructed.

After 30 minutes of strategies and silence it was 9:55. Amelie was already awake by this time. We went into the elevator and I felt it go down. The elevator came to a halt and it came to mind we were underground. The doors glide open and I find myself with other tributes.

We gathered around this girl. "Hello, I'm Star. Victor of the 46th hunger games." Our trainer announced. She took a moment to look at us. I do remember watching her win. "I'm here because every tribute gets to be the trainer someday and blah blah. In two weeks, 23 of you will be dead. One of you will be alive. Who that is depends on how well you pay attention over the next four days, particularly to what I'm about to say. First, no fighting with the other tributes. You'll have plenty of time for that in the Arena. There are four compulsory exercises, and then the rest will be individual training. My advice is don't ignore the survival skills. Everybody wants to grab a sword, but most of you will die from natural causes. 10% from infection, 20% from dehydration. Exposure can kill as easily as a knife." Star said reading off a script. Her words gave me shivers down my spin.

Time flew by as I trained. I mostly stayed at the knives sations to practice. I threw one of the throwing knives. I missed. Tried again and I missed. I felt so angry and frustrated.

"Hello, sweetie." I heard a familiar voice say behind me.

"Oliver." I said feeling annoyed and I threw another one and I hit the target.

"Here let me help you." Oliver said putting his hand on my waist and grabbed a knife. Then he threw it straight on.

Lunch came along and people was already making Allies. There was one girl with brown hair and hazel eyes that looked like she been crying for hours. She was from district 10. "\

Hey who's that girl?" I mumbled to Ace.

"Ryleigh. She is 13." Ace said back. Then the girl glanced at me. She waved then I left.

Day 1-2: Days past as I trained. I mostly stayed with the knives and soon I became really good at it. I looked over at Ace seeing he rather have a spear then a sword. I think he also became really good with it too.

Day 3: The other stations I went to was Edible plants and insects. I tried to remember which ones were edible and which ones were not. I will mumble to myself all of the edible stuff. Before lunch I went back to the knives and not to be surprised Oliver was there. I started to throw my knives and it hit every 3 targets. People gathered around me whispering either good things or bad things. At the end of the day I did the gauntlets . Surprisingly I was second even though one of the careers beat me to it. I went back to My apartment and I told Slade about my day. He told me I was doing great and keep training. Hopefully I put on a good show.

Day 4 (The last day of training): Today was the last day. Some people in District 5, 8 and 12 asked me to Ally with them. I accepted only if Ace can tag along. They agreed. In the ally was Me, Ace and A district 5 female named Spark and she was 14. The other person in the ally was the district 8 people named Ruth and Johan. Then there was the boy from 12. His name was Boston and he was the oldest of us because he is 18. Oliver did not even bugged me at all today. Or that's what I thought. Oliver came by started every sentence with Flirting.

"Do you know what? You are really starting to piss me off!" I shout pushing him against the wall. "There is no love or flirting in the games." I shouted even more louder. I pushed him harder against the wall with my elbow.I elbowed his crotch and walked away and the trainer did not see and no one else saw accept Ace.

The next station I went to was ropes. This was a quite easy station because at home I had a tree that I will climb up on to watch the sunrise or the sunset. The next I went to the fire making station with Ace.

"What was that about?" Ace asked as a spark of fire flew up.

"Its nothing. I just got pissed off." I mumbled. The last stations I went to was Tree climbing and Boxing and Wrestling. Ace was really good at this because he was much more stronger then me.

Now that awaits is the real test.
