After the first day of training and lunch, the tributes had a few more hours in the training center before they were told to have dinner with their mentor. Emerald and Silver joined Klo as she entered the dining room. Diadem and Karrigan, the two female victors, were both present. Diadem looked virtually unchanged from her time in the Games as it was only five years ago. Karrigan was in her mid twenties now, looking more like an adult and less like the muscular, intuitive tribute that had won the Games.
Karrigan gestured for every one to sit down and fill their plates. "I am Karrigan and you should all recognize Diadem." She states. "We need to know how you spent your first day in training. What stations did you visit? Did you form an alliance?"

I traced the hem of my shirt and looked at Karrigan. "I went to knife throwing... I also stabbed a knife in a table..." I said slowly and calmly. I didn't regret what I did. I showed the tributes that they cant underestimate me. "I tried to form an alliance with Silver," I shot Silver a look. "But he hasn't answered my request yet."

"I haven't decided if I want to ally with you yet." Silver replied shortly. "What was with that knife thing at lunch?"Emerald glanced between Klo and Silver, clearly interested in the reply. The mentors glanced at Klo; awaiting her answer. Emerald: Silver:

I fumbled for an answer. It was an impulsive thing to do.. I really didn't want to answer but they expected me to answer so I replied, "I don't need them to think I'm weak. With you guys rejecting me into the career group they will think i'm a weakling not worthy of the careers!" I said with a forceful tone and slammed my fist down on the table.

"When did we reject you?"[/color] Silver asked. He turned to look at Emerald; who shrugged in response.
"You didn't sit with us."[/color] Emerald stated simply, reaching for a pecan pie. "Did you hear what that other table was talking about? They looked like they were protective of that little district 8 girl. I'd like to see her first at Cornucopia."[/color]

I snorted in disdain. "Whatever." I mumbled. I rose out of my seat and grabbed a plate, I filled my plate with rolls and a chicken leg. I took a nibble of my roll and looked up at Silver and Emerald. "You know what. I hope you die first. I don't need your stupid career pack. Ill kill you myself." I announced.

"And I thought we were just about to ally up."[/b] Silver said, surprised. "Good luck with that. I'm not even sure that you scared those guys at the table."[/b]
"Enough outbursts."[/b] Diadem said with disdain. "Whats wrong with you three? The field out there has 36 tributes. The more that scamper off to hide; the longer it will take you to hunt them down. You need to make a decisive blow at the Cornucopia. Go after the one's that look like they may sneak up and knife you in your sleep. Have any ideas on who to go after first?"[/b]

"So now you say "I was gonna team up with you!" and why does it matter who we kill? It sounds okay to kill anyone to me. A kill is a kill." I glared towards Diadem.

"You need to calm down."[/b] Diadem advised sternly. "You shouldn't be threatening to kill your district partners. Those kids at lunch? Yes, terrify them at will. But these two are the only ones with any real desire to partner with you and you are threatening them. Are you trying to go for a ruthless and insane person angle?"[/b]

I grinned like a maniac. "Maybe I am." I chuckled. I considered myself as a bi-polar/person with a split personality but they didn't have to know. "Y'know I don't believe you saying their my district partners. Real district partners help each other and do whatever it takes to keep each other alive. That doesn't sound like Silver at all.

"Yeah, I don't want crazy." Silver declared openly, shaking his head.
"Enough." [/b]Diadem snapped. "We don't have time for you to be childish. Since you've all decided not to ally; we'll speak separately. Silver, Emerald; I'll talk to you later."[/b]
Silver and Emerald stood and departing the room; Silver glaring at Klo angrily as he departed. "You just turned down an alliance with two people."[/b] Diadem remarked. "Remarkably quick. Crazy by itself isn't going to cut it, Klo. Give me a reason why you're worth my time. "[/b]

"First of all I never said I wasn't going to ally, In fact i'm working on kale. I know I may have issues but back in district 1, people just dealt with them! I don't need you guys rubbing my disorder in my face." I shouted loud enough for Emerald and Silver to hopefully hear, wishing they would understand me. I was sick of being misunderstood.

"They're gone. You burned that bridge." Diadem stated flatly. "You need to try some self control. Cesar is going to question you; and shouting at him isn't going to work. Are you going to stop shouting so we can decide what you're going to do?"[/b]
Karrigan leaned forward; shaking her head. "You said any kill is a good kill. Yet you are going up against people who are already allied up and outnumber you. Are you going to pick off someone whose alone; or do you have someone in mind?"

"Fine. I want kale but I'm not sure if she saw my outburst. Let's just face it I'm gonna die, why help me." I broke off hoarse and buried my head in my hands.

"Have you talked to Kale about allying? Karigan asked. "The first thing you should do is decide what you want to do at Cornucopia. I would suggest that you grab a pack as soon as you can. The arena can be terribly unforgiving."[/b]
"You might want to move towards Silver and Emerald." Karrigan suggests. "In the heat of the battle; they may forget about this argument for awhile.

I nodded. "She hasn't given me an answer yet."
I bit my lip. I watched my best friends, neighbors, cousins etc being killed by going into the cornucopia. "Fine." I gritted through my teeth.
I wasn't sure if I could get along with Silver and Emerald... But... Karigan was the one who won and knew what she was talking about so I solemnly nodded.

"You can talk to her at lunch tomorrow." Karrigan advised. "Do you have any more questions for us?"

"All right, then you can go if you like. You'll meet with us every night for dinner. You can ask us anything else that occurs to you then."
