I wake to afternoon sun shining in my eyes. I look around to see dried blood that
wasn't there when I got here on some leaves a few feet ahead of me. I know I have been asleep for at least two days. Some how I am quite amused that no one
has killed me. Then I start to wonder if Ralis or Cumin is still alive,what happened? Why would they have just left me here? When I stand I feel very disorientated. I leave the small clearing and head in a direction. I continue walking until dark not any clearer on what has happened. Not knowing who or what is in the arena I climb a tree, not to high that I can't jump out of it from where I am sitting ,high enough that no one can reach me from the ground. The anthem plays and no ones picture shows, either today was very eventful for everyone else or something big is planned. I decide to eat what little food I have in my bag ,get some sleep and see what tomorrow brings. I wake and unlike every other time I have woken up in here,I don't feel sad about killing. Though I feel some relief that I'd knot have to carry that with me , the thought kind of scares me. I jump from my tree and continue my search for? Well for anything. I eventually head back to the cornucopia to find nothing. Now I have quest to find water and food , great. I find some sort of bird and decide its time for lunch ,whip out a knife and kill the bird as I am running towards the bird I run into Cumin. "What are you doing here?", she just grabs my arm and pulls me behind a tree. " Ralis and I have made camp just beyond that tree. We need to be quiet there's something else out here." She says. But all I can do is give her a worried look. I run to where her camp is to find Ralis and all I can do is go in for a kiss. At first he looks confused but then he kiss back. I pull away to see Cumin giving me a shocked and confused look. I turn to Ralis and we both laugh, "god it felt good to see people again" I think to myself. The anthem plays and some boys shows up in the sky.As darkness falls Cumin tells me the bad news I no longer have a sleeping
bag. Ralis offers me his but I refuse I want to look strong. But as temperatures fall I know what Panem wants. So I slide into Ralis's sleeping bag with him and fall asleep.
