Things back in District One had been well, normal. That was the only way Cashmere could put it. Things were as they should be, so why did she feel restless? She had spent the last few months working at the Academy and doing various fundraisers for the Capitol. Part of her had thrown around making a District One cookbook, so that was her latest project. People would buy it just because she was Cashmere LePointe.

“If I said I was going to cut my hair, what would you say?” Short hair seemed to be going in style, but Cashmere wasn’t sure. Their stylist wanted it but she didn’t. “Okay, truthfully... Second truth is that reporter keeps asking questions and I don’t want to talk to them, so now I’m talking to you. Even if I just seen you like yesterday,” Cashmere joked with a laugh. Everyone wanted to know about this Quell and Cashmere didn’t want to even think about it.

"Hey there Sparkles,” Cambric said with a laugh as he dropped into the open seat next to Glitter. The kids were just getting starting with their training, so there wasn’t much for them to do, yet. You know why they got the ominous speech about how only one of them would make it out a live. “You know, I think these training sessions are just for us not them. I can’t say I ever learned anything that was useful in my games.” The Cave arena hadn’t been too friendly on most fronts.

“So... What do you think of District Two?” Cambric knew as someone from One, she had her opinion. Careers always stuck together or at least scoped out the competition. “Are they an item? They aren’t acting like it, but...” There were glances here and there and well, Cambric knew a thing or two about going in with someone you care about. He had only known the girl from One a week, but it had been enough to tear at his heart strings. “This is the season for couples, from what I am hearing.”

Fiorella was in the viewing room watching as the tributes were trying to dodge giant snowballs down a frozen terrain. She watched eagerly as her tribute was successfully managing to dodge each one and managed to escape, later teaming up with a new ally. 

But it was then, however, that someone entered the room as well and sat beside her. It was Glitter.

They were dead. They were both dead.

Cashmere punched the dummy and watched it rebound a bit before landing a sharp kick to it. She hadn’t even noticed Glitter walk up. It was far easier to take her frustrations out on an object than to be mad at two dead kids. They had done exactly what she had advised them not to do.

Now they were dead.

Dead.

Out of frustration, Cashmere punched the dummy again. One now had a pair of dead twin victors. It was the fate many had imagined Gloss and her would meet. Even after her brother had won, many had thought she would perish in the games. Siblings didn’t win the Hunger Games. Well forget them. The LePointe family had crowned not one, but two Victors.

Cambric wasn’t surprise to find the District One victor on the roof top, because it was a favorite spot for mentors and tributes alike. It was the only place with a little bit of fresh air and quiet. Even up there he could however hear the quite din of the parties and excitement on the streets.

“Hey Sparkle,” he said as he dropped into the vacant spot next to Glitter. “If you say please I’ll share my cookies,” he told her with a laugh as he passed over the small pile of cookies he had brought up with him. “I mean I guess I can share.”

“Hanging in there?” He asked after a moment of silence. The games were hard on all of them and he didn’t think the Victors from the Career districts were any different. They just didn’t show it as much.

Where had the time went? It was already time for the launch. It had come up so quickly, it hardly felt real to Cashmere. Their tributes however looked more solid than they had for the past few years and it was a good feeling. Ashanti had even scored the highest of the tributes, so there was that too. District One was looking like the one to bet this year.

“I think we’re in a good position, don’t you?” She asked Glitter as she took the empty seat beside her. Surely Opal and Gloss wouldn’t mind them having a little discussion about their options. Later they could all have a team meeting on how to approach the sponsors and the games. “I hope this is District One’s year.”

The bloodbath was over and thankfully, their tributes were both still alive and by all means, had done fairly well. Compared to the tributes from District Two, Goldie and Calix looked golden. It certainly made up for their lackluster performance in their private training sessions. If you put that next to the gore of District Four, they really were doing well. Things were looking up for District One.

After settling in for the night and pulling her hair free of its elaborate styling, Cashmere poured the tea knowing both Opal and Glitter would be back any time. With night falling, the tributes would be settling in for the night and much wouldn’t happen till morning. They were free to relax for a moment.

“Tea is already made,” she called to the first of her fellow mentors to walk through the door.
