Elizabeth's POV
I laid in bed remembering the night before. We had definitely stolen the show. Kaz was a genius.
All the other tributes looked at us with envy and then I had gone to bed, falling sleep before my head had hit the pillow.
I flicked on the tv which was recapping last night. I watched as out chariot was being pulled out. Our suits up in flames. The crowd gasped and I saw some actual worry on some faces. For a spilt second Chad and I looked scared but it wasn't long before we calmed ourselves and waved to the crowd.
There was a knock on the door and I quickly pulled on some jeans and a shirt and opened it.
"Ready for breakfast?" Haymitch asked.
"Sure thing" I said.
"Go grab your brother and meet me down there" he said and I nodded.
I knocked on Chad's door and opened it. He was spread out on his bed fast asleep. I grinned and jumped on his bed and he flew up with a yelp.
"Morning sleeping beauty" I laughed and he glared at me.
"Come on, breakfast" I said and he yawned.
He pulled on come clothes and we headed down.
Haymitch was sitting there chewing on some bread and we joined him.
"Ok guys, let's talk strategy" he said after a few minutes of silence.
"So what are your strengths?" he asked.
"Well Chad is strong and fast" I said and Haymitch nodded.
"And Elizabeth is silent and slippery, hard to catch" he said and I grinned, he would know.
"Ok. Well I suggest you to both stay hidden and kill without mercy when it comes down to it" he said.
I remembered the smug look on Cassius's face.
"Done" I frowned.
"Don't think that way. You'll find it's harder to kill someone then you think" Haymitch warned and I nodded.
"So did you find anyone you might think would be good in an alliance?" He asked.
"Yeah, Lyra" Chad said.
"Yeah that's good, she'd be good with a bow and arrow and hunting if she's Gale's kid. Plus your mum would kill you if you didn't have her" Haymitch said and we nodded.
"What about Odair?" Haymitch asked.
"I didn't really talk to him, but it's possible" Chad said but I cut him off.
"No. We're not having him" I said shortly.
"Come on Elizabeth, his parents were family friends. They're good people" Haymitch said and I heard the sadness in his voice for the loss of Finnick.
"I respect that enough so I won't kill him and if I see him in there I won't touch him, but I don't want him in an alliance" I said and they sighed.
"Anyone else?" Haymitch asked.
"Not yet" Chad said.
"Ok, we'll you have the next three days to figure it out" Haymitch said as we were pushed away to our first training session.
"Wait, Haymitch I have something to ask you" I said softly as Chad went off.
"Yes?" he asked and I knew he knew what I was going to say.
"I'm asking, begging you to please, save Chad" I said softly.
"I'm going to save you both" he said simply.
"You know you cant. And if it comes to you can only save one, please, for me, save Chad" I begged.
He looked at me for a few seconds then sighed.
"Ok, I'll do my best" he said and I hugged him and went off to training.
Chad's POV
I knew what she was doing. I heard her stop to talk to Haymitch and I kept walking like I had never noticed. I waited until she had finished and went on her way then I back tracked and went over to Haymitch.
"Didn't you just leave?" he asked slightly amused.
"You know what I'm asking" I said and he nodded.
"Did you say yes to her?" I asked.
"Yes. I told her I'd save you" he replied.
"We both know you've been in this situation with our parents before. And we both know you lied to the other so we both know you can do it again. And we both know she's the better option" I argued.
"Your right" he sighed and I didn't know which bit he was referring to, but I hoped it was all of it.
I nodded and left, running to the training room.
Elizabeth's POV
The first thing I headed to was the survival area. I knew this was the most important thing to learn. I already knew what weapons I was good at.
I could use a blowgun and never missed a target with it. I was also pretty handy with a whip and could hit anything. And back in my room I had body belts. They were handmade belts I had made, they strapped around my legs, thighs, lower arms, upper arms, waist, chest and stomach. And I could attach daggers too each belt. I was great with daggers and knifes, I could throw them and hit every target and I was fast and swift with them. I loved having them hidden on my body, that way my attacker had no idea and it was a surprise.
I built a fire with a flint and a rock and listened to the guy tell me about shelter, water and food.
I then headed over to the ropes were I was unpleasantly greeted by Chase Odair. I enviously watched his hands flutter over the rope as it flawlessly knotted in every kind of knots you could think of. He gave me a smug smile and I rolled my eyes.
I left him and headed over to the spear throwing where I saw Cassius throw the spear and strike the dummy in the heart. I mentally made a note to stay out of his throwing distance.
I also saw a slender red haired girl throw the spear in perfect and deadly accuracy.
I threw the spear and the first time I missed completely, not even making the distance. I saw Cassius laughing at me. I growled and picked up another spear and threw it again. It made the distance but hit the dummy in the foot.
He laughed louder and my cheeks reddened. I grabbed some dagger and a blowgun and darts. I headed over to another dummy and took position.
I picked up my darts in one hand and loaded the blowgun with a dart and held it to my lips. In a flawless movement I took a deep breath and blew the dart out and reloaded it and repeated it until I had faultlessly used my 7 darts in one breath and less than 5 seconds. Without missing a heartbeat I dropped the blowgun and picked up my 10 daggers and threw them one after the other in lightning speed. All in all I had done everything in about 12 seconds and I hadn't even taken a proper look at the dummy yet.
I walked over to the dummy and saw all my weapons had landed in the red circle about the size of my fist in the middle of the dummy.
I grinned triumphantly and walked away, loving the shocked look on everyone's faces.
