Sophie Livingstone [District 3] Training Session:

Sophie does a few flips in bubbily and smiles at the Gamemakers. She walks over to the rack with bows and arrows and gets concentrated quickly. She lifts the bow, and narrows in on the first target. She never misses with the bow. Never. her mother was Aria Camelliston, for God's sake. Bow and arrows are practically in her blood. Even though it's the only thing she has never missed on.

She releases the first arrow, straight in the center of bullseye. She smiles to herself.

''Mom and Dad would be proud. ''She thinks for encouragement, remembering the first time she shot.

She decides to give the Gamemakers a show and readies the second arrow, the third close by. She releases the second one, and shoots the third one so quickly it splits the second one in half and still hits the bullseye. She secretly gets very excited that it worked. Then she picks a spear up. She hits the first dummy in the chest, although she was aiming for the head. The second one completely misses and upsets her, but she gets over it quickly. She hits the third in the head.

Then she grabs a mace and goes at it with the dummies. She does some damage to the first two, and mauls the third. She cuts down a fake tree with her axe, but at a normal pace.

She knows she has minimal time left, so she tosses some throwing knives behind her and they form her initials "S.L." very clearly, and a few still missed but the letters are still obvious.

She goes through some courses and climbs another tree at an incredible rate. She flips down from it and lands in a split, then pulls herself over backwards to a standing position to show them her flexibility and hours of practice, and decides to do one last thing.

''"Make them remember you." ''Echoes in her head from her parents, quoting from the 74th Games tribute Katniss Everdeen.I pick up the bow and arrow one last time when they are oblivious.

I close my eyes, and point the arrow towards the gamemaker. It lands right by the Head Gamemaker's head, and she smiles, and skips out happily, praying she did good.
