It's 30 minutes before the Games we are taken by hovercraft to the arena. People walk around and inject a tracker into our arm. I flinch as it impales my skin.
"Man up, you'll experience much more pain in the arena." Says the lady. I sigh and lay my head back. Within five minutes we are escorted under the arena and have time to prep with our team before it begins.
"So, game plan.' Says Milly. We are all dressed in our outfits with are stretch, comfortable pants suits that can help you in extreme cold and extreme hotness.
"Well, we go, we fight, we win." Luis jokes. Milly looks at him with disgust.
"How about three of us run to the Cornucopia, and three of us find shelter." Offers Ava.
"Yeah!" Martin agrees.
"How will we find each other?" I ask.
"Oh, um, we, oh! The people that don't run to the Cornucopia can run the opposite direction of the Cornucopia so we'll know to look for you there." Ava explains.
"Okay." I sigh.
"Who will be the three to run to the Cornucopia?" Asks Martin.
"Hmm." Says Milly. "How about Ava since she's good with the ax, Brielle since she's good with the bow, and Luis because he's strong."
"Whoa, no, no." I interrupt. "I'm not going into the Bloodbath."
"I'll do it." Percy offers.
"That's settled. Ava, Percy and Luis will run, and Brielle,Martin, and I will hide." Milly says.
"I'll be sure to get all of the nessasary weapons." Brags Ava.
"Yeah like an ax, knifes, dagger, club, bow and arrow, all that stuff." Martin explains.
"Just wait guys, we're going to be better than the Careers!" Luis shouts playfully.
"Yeah!" We all yell and high five each other.
It's about another minute before we realize one of us or maybe none of us is going to come back alive. All of the sudden, Milly hugs me. Ava joins in, then Martin, then Percy and Luis.
Soon we're all doing a group hug.
"1 minute." An announcer says.
We look at each other with sad eyes and stand up. We take slow, short steps to our tube.
"30 seconds."
"Guys." I say. "Let's go kick some tribute butt."
They giggle but quickly stop when they remember they could die in-
"10 seconds."
I step into the glass tube.
Right after I step in the glass closes. I look at my teammates. Milly is frantically pounding at the glass and Martin is rubbing his forehead.
I remember that these are my teammates, my friends.
Then I am lifted into the arena and I see a blinding light.
