Rachel Violette

Despite the sun having set hours before, Rachel was still restless. Unable to sleep, the volunteer girl from District Two wandered out of her room and into the elevator. She was going to head into the Training Center for some late night practice, as the Maze and the horrors that would lie within it was all that she had on her mind. Upon entering the Training Center, the smell of various cleaners was present, rather than the musty, sweaty smell that was normally present during the day. Despite the runners being allowed in the Training Center at night, they often weren't there, and therefore, that was when the Avoxes would clean the large room. Clearly, they'd just finished doing that.

Rachel had expected the Training Center to be empty when she entered it, but to her surprise, it wasn't. Another boy, whom Rachel recognized as Elliot from District Four, was there was well. He was training with a spear and gauntlets, clearly practicing his dual wielding skills. Rachel had done the same previously with a spear, but with a sword instead of gauntlets. The girl started to approach him, but was careful not to get too close, just in case she startled him upon speaking.

"Hey, Elliot, right?" she asked. She paused for a moment before a grin crossed her face. "Want to do something a bit more fun than late night training?" was her inquiry.

'Oh God,' she thought to herself. 'What if he thinks I'm trying to flirt with him? Oh, hell no! That's not what I meant...' Now, her mind was racing with what she might have said wrong, but still kept a positive demeanor.
