The next morning, I am rushed to eat breakfast by Effie.

"Up, up, up! It's a big, big day!" She says in her hilarious Capitol accent.

As I walk to the dining table, agin there is a array of dishes that look delicious. I order just a simple hot chocolate and some waffles. The waffles are toasted and have maple syrup over them. I munch down on them slowly, enjoying the flavors. Then, I sip on my hot chocolate quickly, knowing that Effie is watching my punctuality.

I go back to my room where my stylist, Serena has laid out the same training uniform as yesterday, only today we are not going to training. We are going to the private sessions with the Gamemakers. Tho is where we must show them our skills and they will grade us from 0 to 12. 0 being the worst and 12 being the best.

After I'm done dressing up, Peacekeepers bring Crystal and I down to the Gamemakers. Being the tributes from a district, we go in after the Capitol boys. At a point, I hear Lux's name being called and he goes into the private sessions.

After the Capitol boys are done, the District tributes are all rounded up and starting from District 1, the private sessions begin. I hear Felix's name being called and she eagerly goes in.

As Kimberley's name is called, she smirks at us before entering the room. After 45 mins, her fellow tribute Serene enters the room. I wonder what took Kimberley so long.

After about three hours of waiting, Crystal is finally called into the room. She nods and enters the room.

Crystal POV

I enter the room with confidence. The Gamemakers ignore me as they are probably drunk. They look at me with a glance and announce that I can start.

"Don't be ordinary." I hear Carmen's words echo through me.

I grab the throwing knives and am about to throw it at dummies when I realize the force field between me and the Gamemakers.

"This gives me an idea." I mutter to myself.

I throw the knives at an angle towards the Gamemakers. They are shocked and the attention is on me. The knives hit the force field and knock back on dummies. The knives go "ping" as they hit the force field and find themselves flying back at the dummies, depending on the angle.

Finally, I take my last two knives and slash at the heart of a dummy. Using blood red paint from the camouflage station, I write down something that sends chills down the Gamemakers' spines.

I wrote Kimberley.

The Head Gamemaker, Titus Crane, dismisses me. I walk off, confident that I have made a lasting impression.

Carmen POV

I hear my name being called. I stand up and enter the room. They all seem very entertained. I wonder what Crystal did.

Titus Crane, the head Gamemaker, announces that I can start. I grab the knives instead of my beautiful archer set. Some are shocked.

I close my eyes and shoot them at the dummies targeting livers, hearts, eyes, lungs and other vital parts. Finally, I request for an apple. The Gamemakers are shocked but one gives me his. He says that it was from the lunch.

I grab the apple and throw it up in the air. In a split second, I take my shot using my arrow and bow while closing my eyes. Finally, I hear gasps. I open my eyes to reveal that the arrow has pierced through the apple and has shot a dummy's head.

Before Titus Crane dismisses me, I take a small bow and holler,

"That's not the last you will see of Katniss Everdeen's granddaughter!"

Titus and the rest of the Gamemakers stiffle a laugh and dismiss me. I walk out, as confident as ever.

I take the elevator up to the 12th floor, where my suite is. I see Crystal and she's definitely tired.

"Crystal, what did you do?" I ask.

"I'll tell you later." She tells me.

I take a shower and look through my wardrobe. I finally come out to eat dinner and realize that the scores are up.

Felix and Krissy from District 1 gets a 10. From District 2, Kat gets a 9 while Clover gets a 12. That is a incredible score and I wonder what did she do.

District 3's tributes get a 6 and a 7.

Kimberley gets a 11, which is very intimidating. Serene gets a 10, which is typical for a Career.

As the scores go on, it's low to medium for the rest except for a few which stand out to me. Like Lory, which gets a 10. Also Thimble and Doe, who get 10 as well. When it comes to Crystal, I almost can't believe it when I see what's on the screen.

It's a 12.

Crystal is rejoicing as I await my score.

My picture flashes as I see my score.

12. It's also a 12.

We have gotten 12. We have gotten 12.

I can't believe it. 12.

Crystal and I rejoice in delight as we find out our scores. It's very good for two District twelve tributes.

We rejoice by getting two glasses of hot chocolate and drinking it up.

Just then, they announce the Capitol boys' scores. It is very disappointing. There was even one with a 0. But Lux stands out with a 11. With two twelves and an eleven, our alliance will rain with sponsor gifts.

As we rejoice, I ask Crystal what did she do for the Gamemakers.

"I shot knives at them. But the force field brought the knives back and they hit the dummies. I then used my last knives and slashed a dummy's heart. Only, the dummy had Kimberley's name written on it in blood red paint. I wrote it. So, what did you do?" She replies.

I explain briefly about the session. While I talk, Crystal starts laughing her head off when I shoot that apple.

"And then I said that's not the last you will see of Katniss Everdeen's granddaughter!" I finish.

Crystal is laughing as I usher her back to bed.

Before I can can even open my mouth to order strawberries, I see a bowl on the table. It has my strawberries. Beside it is a glass of milk.

I ask around. No one has ordered these for me. So who did?
