&& then the sky turns red and our lives fall short -- [p]

_{Doll leaned against the wall of the gym of the Training Center, her jet black hair pulled back into a pony tail. The fifteen year old sighed, looking down at herself and glaring at the number 7 on the outfit she wore, displaying the fact that she was from the heavily forested district. She then stood up straight and walked over to the berries section, taking a few blackberries and eating them as she wandered around the Center, watching the other tributes train and deciding who would be a thread and who would be an easy target. She didn't like the idea of having to kill, but if she wanted to go back home to her family, she'd at least try to win.}

_{Doll then made her way over to the fire starting section, her leaf green eyes lacking any emotion. She sat down beside the pile of sticks and started to rub two together over a leaf, sparks flying moments before a small fire ignited. The fifteen year old female smiled and watched her creation burn, glancing up to watch the Careers, knowing they'd be a dangerous force to go up against in the Arena.}

_{A small smile curved the young woman's lips as she watched the district four's male tribute try to practice with the bows and arrows. Feeling amused and like he needed help, she made her way to his side, "Having a bit of trouble?" she teased, picking up an ax that appeared to weigh more than she did and holding it with one hand as it rested on her shoulder.}

_{A small giggle escaped Doll's lips as she set the weapon down and stood beside him, moving his arms and fingers so that he was holding the bow correctly, "Now... let the arrow go," she instructed, taking a step back to watch.}

_{The raven-haired tribute grinned before walking over to the target and pulling the arrow out, "I'm Doll. Doll Saybline," she said as she handed the arrow back to him.}

_{Doll nodded before picking the ax back up and walking over to the dummies. In a matter of minutes, they were nothing but a pile of plastic and foam. The fifteen year old grinned down at what she'd done before sitting and putting them back together, the ax on the gorund beside her.}

_{The dark haired girl glanced up at Jason, "What?" she said slowly, putting the foam back into one of the dummies' torsos.}

_{She shrugged before giving up and standing, glancing around.}

_{((Skip to the interviews...?))}

_{Doll stood backstage watching the district 1 male get interviewed. She wore a sleeveless green dress made out of sink that had leaf designs sewn into the fabric. Her hair was down in waves over her shoulders and down her back to her waist, her bands being held back with a silver, diamond studded hair clip. The fifteen year old then tore her eyes away from the scene before sitting down on the chair meant for her, staring down at herself.}

_{Doll glanced over at Jason, silent, then stood up and walked over to her district partner, Adam, who towered over her. He was considered a gentle giant back home. He was 6'7 and had never hurt anyone in his life. The young woman smiled at him before sitting down beside him, "Relax, it'll be fine," she promised, seeing how nervous he was in his eyes.}
