The Hunger Games (2/24 dead)

[b e a u t i f u l]

{Ill be on early tomorrow morning, around 5:30 am to 6:15 am. After school, which is around 3:30 pm. Hope to RP with everyone later, and make sure to ask your friends to join, too!}

{They arent starting the games yet XD}

I nod, my eyes widened a tad. "Yeah, alright. Even though I'm more of a archer, a sword will do me better."

Rainia stares, holding tightly to her sister's hand. She stares her in the eye, bending down, placing her hands lightly on her shoulders. Her little sister stares up at her, brown eyes wide. The little girl tries to say something, tries to force her words out of her mouth, but Rain silences her with her own. Listen, I will come home, I promise. She whispers. Her little sister begins to sob, hot tears streaming down her face. She grips onto her shoulders, tighter and tighter. Listen, Annie, honey, I need you to look after Mama and Darrell. You need to be strong, for me. Annie nods, and Rain sees her swallow hard. She's such a little girl, so small, so quiet. She shouldn't have this responsibility. It's too much! The tall girl closes her eyes, giving her little sister a strong kiss on the forehead. And then, the Peacekeepers are rushing into the room, sweeping the screaming Annie away. Rain stays strong, staring after her sister, pressing three fingers to her lips and holding them out as a silent goodbye.

Rain then stands up, the white room spinning around her. She won't be able to survive all these days in the arena, knowing her mother and sister are sobbing for her to come home. Then again, that might be what keeps her alive. With a heaving sigh, another trail of Peacekeepers comes in, bustling with guns pointed into the air. "Come, Miss Rainia." One says. Rain gives him a nasty scowl, tearing her arm away as he holds onto it. They all escort her to the train, and she tries to ignore the flashing of the cameras, the thrush of people as they stare after her. "Rainia! Rainia!" The voices ring out, and she blinks, trying her hardest to push away tears.

Kody sighs, looking out of the train window. He puts his head in his hands, watching as district one flashes by in fast movements. How can we be going so fast? - he thinks. It's as if the world has been put on hyper drive, moving three hundred times the speed it should be going. A finger taps his shoulder, and he turns to see an Avox, pointing out the other window. He follows her finger, and what he sees nearly draws the breath right out of him. The Capitol, sitting right there, glimmering in the sunlight just how they described and showed on the TV's. Wow... He breaths, watching as the Avox scampers away.

Finally, the train pulls into the station. He hops out, looking at the building before him. Three Avox's escort him, one carrying his clothes that he will dress in for training. It's so huge in there! All of district four could fit in the training hall, no problem. They move on, pushing through glass doors, pressing random buttons on an elevator, until finally - finally, they enter the area filled with knives, axes, every weapon you could imagine. He breathes out, looking around at the tributes, the.. the everything! I can't believe this. He whispers, rushing toward the swords as they glimmer like the sun in the dimmed training hall. They are beautiful! Long and sharp, merciless in one word.

Sierra
I watch as a boy, whom looks about from District 4, is staring in shock at the swords. I make a mental note in my mind, Ok, this kid must be good at swordfighting.

Zack
I follow a girl thats in front of me, knowing her name must have been Rainia. As I walk down the carts of the train, I decide to sit by the window, my eyes studying the masterpiece ahead. The Capitol. I had never been there before, of course, and it was spectacular. The tall, looming buildings towered tall, though they had a gloomy sense to them. I just had wished my siblings were here, but then I thought, there is'nt even a point to win these games. Nobody would be there to share my fame. Nobody. I turn to Rainia, and silently nod, thinking, If someone were to win, its her.

[.:scales:.]

"Do you think we're allowed to do flips in the air in here?"Eternal asked."That would be awesome."

[b e a u t i f u l]

Sierra
I heard once again, and snapped back to reality, looking at Emerald. "I dont think that would help at all, in the games." I chuckle silently, thinking, this girl thinks she can win with flips?

[moon.]

Rainia had been pushing back tears, gripping the tray before her so hard that she feared she would break the table. A deep breath slips through her lips. She promised her sister she would come home. What kind of promise is that? There are twenty four of them. Twenty four! She'll never be with the odds. Then again, her parents always told her that she was the strongest girl in the district - no, not muscle wise, but in her heart and mind. Craft and belief isn't everything, she told her parents, but she's starting to think again...

Suddenly, with the rocking of the train, she feels eyes boring into her back. She fears turning around, not wanting to meet the trained eyes of a silent Avox or the hatred in another tribute. But finally, it's too much to bear. Rain turns slightly, swallowing as she meets the eyes of, yes, another tribute. But there is no hate in his eyes, not like she was expecting. She's not scared, not nervous, but she gathers herself, staring straight back. I'm not a work of art. Rain says strongly. She means, she's nothing to look at, not that spectacular, but she wants to win, oh so badly. She wants to make it far, at least, somewhere where her name will be known, where Annie will look at the screen and say, "That's my sister. My sister made it that far."

Kody grins, picking up a golden sword. It shines, no, glows into his eyes. He feels at it's blade, instantly touching in. The connection he feels with this sword is nothing like that of the one he has at home, but he knows if he needs anything in the arena, it's something with a blade. His palms begin to sweat and his forehead beads. He knows that other tributes are there, he is well aware, but he ignores everything around him, focusing on his mission - either find an ally here, or suffer alone in the wilderness.

With a deep sigh, he takes in his target, a life like dummy strung to the wall. He raises his sword, as silent as ever, and moves swiftly. Not a sound slips from him, as if he actually were stalking somebody, and he slices the target just above the thigh - an easy place to strike, also where the main arteries run. No tribute could survive that blow. Kody looks around, hoping to find some training station where he could practice sword to sword fighting, or even hand to hand.

Sierra
I see that boy, once again, noticing he might have been cute. As he looks around, I quickly tap his shoulder, softly speaking, "Are you looking for someone?"

Zack
I dont mind the girl, really. She seemed alright, tough. Fiesty..definatley. As she speaks, I notice she has a fire in her eye, meaning only one thing..she is out to win, and kill. If it comes down to him and her, I wouldnt kill her, so she would be the victor, in the end. "Tell me something, Rainia. Are you here to win the prizes, or for your family?"

Rainia looks at the boy, an eyebrow raised. He sure knows how to question, and keep it simple as such. She pulls her hair out of her eyes, calmly braiding it back in a loose ponytail. For my family, of course. She says simply, though her heart pounds at the thought of her little sister feeding their family, and her little brother starving without her. Riches are nothing to me. It may bring us food, but I will still work. I love my district.

Though that was a lie, in a way. She hates how her district killed her father so mercilessly, how it starves her family every day, killing off people one by one. But maybe that is the Capitol's fault. She has heard that this shining city has endless food, endless money, and never stops to get what they want. I don't want to become like that! She thinks, looking back to the boy.

He has something in his eyes, a thought it may be. He seems to admire her, like there is something about her that he likes. Is it her fire? Her will to live? Though she doesn't look forward to killing, it won't make a difference in the arena. They'll all die, someday, whether it be age or sickness, or the merciless heart of another tribute, they will all die. One way or another.

Kody looks at the girl, a question in his eyes. He composes himself, and swallows, trying to answer her. Uh, no, just... Looking. I'd like some sword fighting. He adds, looking past the girl to various stations before realizing how stupid he is. This could be an ally! She looks strong, smart, somebody who knows how to stay alive. She could be the brains, he the brawn.

You have an ally? He blurts out, looking around, eyes curious. He'd approach this lightly, not wanting to stun the girl with questions - what she can do, what she can't do, how fast she can run and how strongly she can swim. There are so many questions to be asked, and judging by her looks, she's from District One or Two. She'll be smart and crafty, not to mention have many sponsors, but most of all, she needs to know how to kill.
