Kate got up super early so she could get some weapons training in. Nobody knew she was Kate Deathwing and she wanted to keep it that way.
She walked into the training area and headed straight to the Katanas.
She grabbed a set and headed to the hologram training booth. She stepped in and took a deep breath as the doors shut behind her. Kate walked up to the control panel and set it on difficult 30 holograms.
The panel disappeared and she backed up and stood in the middle of the large room.

She sliced through the first two holograms that had came at her easily and quickly ducked as one came behind her. She heard foot steps to her left and saw a hologram with an axe coming at her. She cut of the arm as she did a cartwheel backwards hitting the head of the hologram with her foot. As she landed on her feet and cut the head straight off.
Over the next 10 minutes she hacked away the remaining holograms.

She wasn't as rusty a she had thought. The girl was sweating a little and she realized she wasn't as fit as she should be for the games even with training over the last six years.

She knew the other victors would be coming soon so she left the hologram and went to a survival station. Over the half an hour she was memorizing as many plants as she could. Finally there was some footsteps coming down the hallway and in walked the victors from 4 and 7.

When Johanna saw that Kate and as everyone knew her Katherine, she was surprised that she was their. She decided to say something.

"Katherine!" Johanna yelled across the room.
Kate put on the Katherine facade as cool and collected.
She looked up to see who had called her 'name.' She looked confused but quickly covered it up and walked over, she had her guard up. She held herself like a victor, the victors standing with Johanna including herself noticed this immediately. None of them knew why, what had happened to her to cause her to be like this.
As Katherine approached she said,"yes?"
She was questioning why they would want to be anywhere near her. Were they trying to intimidate her or mess with her, she didn't know.
Johanna wanted to see what the girl could do but didn't have high expectations.
" I need a sparing partner that I haven't fought before and your the only one here so come on Snow."
" And if I decline," Katherine said raising her eyebrow in challenge.
Johanna laughed. As much as she hated to admit it the girl had guts.
"Your not scared are you Snow?" Johanna asked mockingly with a smirk.
The rest of the victors just sat watching in silence to see what the famous Katherine Snow would do.
Katherine laughed but what surprised them most was the smile that made it onto her face.
" Ok, ok, fine I'm in. I can't back down from a challenge now can I Mason. Although I can't say I'll be any good."
They spent the next half hour sparring, Katherine kept getting knocked on her ass .
Of course this was just Kate acting. Although she took the other victors tips as they had al had different experiences in the arena.
The group was laughing at a joke that blight had just told. The victors were surprised that Katherine was not bad at all. They had seen her on Tv in the past and she was perceived as this cold, manipulative daddy's girl. Of course other than the time with Katniss in the hallway.

When the training doors opened, in walked the Career pack and ... Caspian.
The cold Katherine facade was shoved into place. The victors she had been around felt as the temperature had dropped a few degrees.

When they looked at Katherine, they saw the cold girl that was fierce and scary they had seen on Tv.
They didn't know why she just switched personality's until they looked up at the game makers lounge and saw the president himself.

Did she hate her father? Did she fear him? Had he done something to her?
These questions and more running through their heads as they saw him watching her like a hawk. Katherine nodded to them politely and when to the knot tying station.
The four victors shared a look. They were going to talk to her later.

The president left after more tributes filed in. While the others trained, Finnick couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Katherine.
When he went to look at her again she was gone. He glanced around the room to look for the feisty blonde. When a voice startled him from behind.
" Looking for someone fish brain?" He turned around to see Johanna standing behind him with a smirk playing on her lips.
He was about to reply but Johanna beat him to it.
" You've been glancing at her since her father was here."
"Ok, fine I was looking for her. There's just something familiar about her I just don't know what. She acts like one of us with the fear behind her eyes. She's hiding something, something big. I just can't help it Johanna, I can't. " He said releasing a breath as he finished his rant.
"I know what you mean, the second he walked in her walks went up. I've only seen a victor act like that, but she's not a victor, she's the presidents daughter. Theirs something off about it Finnick."
Johanna couldn't help but agree, after all she saw how the girl acted.
The two looked around for the girl to see her with Katniss Everdeen.

The two tributes were talking but it looked like Katherine was standing as if to protect someone. The victors watched as the two teens walked over to Beetee and Wiress, or as Johanna likes to call them 'nuts and volts.'

They saw them chat and look to the game makers lounge but they couldn't hear what they were saying.
