Chapter 8: Alliances and Training
Rapunzel (A/N She hasn't had a POV for awhile)
I couldn't fall asleep last night. I kept having nightmares. I clutched the covers and I tried to fall asleep.
There was a dark void, where I was standing.
"Hello?" I shouted out. No one responded. I began to walk forward.
I finally saw someone with snow-white hair. I realized that it was Jack. I began to run towards the figure, who's back was towards me.
I tap led his right shoulder and the figure turned around and the dark void turned into a forest. I looked at Jack and his somber eyes and that's when I felt pain shoot in my stomach.
I looked down to see a spear go through my stomach and see Jack with a horrified look on his handsome face. I was falling fast and everything blacked out.
I woke up, covered my ears, shut my eyes tightly and began to scream.
I finally felt someone shaking me and I opened my eyes. There, sitting in front of me, was none other than Jack. His snow white hair was messy and his sky blue eyes looked into my big green eyes with worry. I also realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt. I felt my face burn a scarlet red.
He placed his cold hand on my forehead and he asked, "Are you sick, Punzie?"
I smiled at him and he placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Did you have a nightmare?" he asked.
I began cry. I grabbed the covers and I cried. I suddenly felt cold arms around.
SHIRTLESS JACK IS HUGGING ME!!!!!!!
I smiled and he left go of me.
"Alright then. Good night, Punzie," he said.
He began to turn to leave to his room but, on instinct, I grabbed his wrist.
He looked at me with his blue eyes.
"No....", I mumbled, "Please stay with me...till I fall asleep..."
He smiled at me. "Ok," he said.
I laid back on the bed and Jack climbed in with me. I snuggled on his chest and I felt my face burn. He just kept smiling as I fell asleep.
Jack (That very next afternoon)
The forty-eight tributes, including Hic, Punzie, Hairball and me, were all lined up in the training room. Walking back and forth in front of us was a tall green-eyed man, with short blue hair and a pair of boomerangs attached to his back.
"In two weeks, 48 of you will go in and only 2 of you will come out. That means you will follow my orders and that are the orders of Bunny Mund. Now, get to training!" he hollered.
I saw Punzie going into the area where there were trees. She grabbed a paintbrush and started painted on her arm. After a couple minutes, she made her arm camafoulge with the tree.
I went over to the area where Hic was. He was standing in front of a computer where he matched every known poison known to the Capitol's knowledge.
Then, there was the Hairball. She was in some type of hologram room and she was clutching the bow and arrow in her hands. A hologram with an ax came to her and she shot it in the head. She did the same with the others until her session ended.
I didn't know what I could do. I was clever and I could use that. I decided to watch some other tributes to who we were up against.
There was a room were tributes could have target practice. There was a blonde with bangs over her right eye and she was repeatingly throwing an ax into the targets. Behind her must have been her friends.
There was a bulky boy with dark brown hair. There was a scrawny girl with braids sticking out of her hair tackling a scrawny boy with straight blonde hair.
The last boy I saw had his arms crossed. His black hair had been spiked up and his yellow eyes looked darkly at his fellow comrades.
Something felt familiar about that boy.
Rapunzel
I finally washed off the paint off my arm. I decided to look around for something else to do. I also remembered to do want Katniss suggested at breakfast that morning.
"Try to form alliances with other tributes. It'll help with living longer." she told us.
I tried to look around for anyone eligible for being an alliance. Everyone I saw was pretty brutal for my taste.
I came across a sixteen year old boy with shaggy brown hair and a part of it tied up into a messy ponytail next to a little six year old girl with black hair tied up into a ponytail and her big brown eyes looked up to the sixteen year old.
I decided to keep them in my "good-people-to-have-alliances-with" stack of tributes.
This will take awhile.
