My heart raced as the metal plate lifts, looking around I try to find Victoria, where is she? I look ahead at the cornucopia, I know Victoria said to run but she knows how stubborn I am. No way am I leaving with no supplies. I think as I find Clement looking to her right smirking, I'm guessing that must be where Victoria is, around the corner.

All around me is hills upon hills, although in the distance you can see a very big hill or well drop. You'd have to climb it to get to the top which would probably take a few hours.

During that time the announcer wishes us a happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in our favor, I cringe at the thought as the timer begins. The odds are never in anyone's favor. I think to myself. I need to grab a bag and get to Victoria. I think to myself as I stare straight ahead as the timer ends.

I run, we all run, thankfully I'm a bit faster as I reach to grab any weapon, I grab a bow and slide the arrows on around me, I get one ready as a girl throws her trident which I barley make my way out of line from. If I stayed there a second more I would have died as I take my arrow and shoot it right at her chest, I try to run around the corner just to see as Victoria made her way up a hill and there she fought four tributes on her own, I stare at her a bit too long in admiration, well she did look so badass as her hair swayed with her slick moves.

Just as I was to make my way to help her Glenda charges at me, "no you don't pretty boy" I hear her snarl as I shoot my arrow it misses her and I shoot another as I dodge her knives. One of my arrows clip her and this causes her eyes to get even wilder.

Well shit. I should start running now. I think as I run quickly to the green trees, after a few seconds I notice she stopped following. I look over to see a guy from two get impaled with a spear, looking over I see Clement and Glenda making her way even though she tries to stop the blood from trickling out of her arm. I watch as Victoria stands on top of the hill just looking down at them, I sigh, "it's not your fault vic. You just did it to survive." I whisper to myself. It takes me everything to not run to her and hold her in my arms. Protect her. But I know if they saw us run together we'd be at a weak advantage.

Looking over I watch as Vince motions Victoria to run and she did as she disappeared within the bushy trees. Slight pain rises in the stomach, jealousy? Maybe.

I then decide it's best if I make my way out of there myself as I run in the opposite direction of the careers but towards where Victoria went.

I'm proud of vic, I know she probably sees herself as a monster, but she isn't. She's the strongest most loving girl I know. Not to mention how beautiful she is inside and out. I never really realized how much she meant to me until we were reaped, until I saw other guys looking at her in such ways. How much I craved for her touch, for her lips, her eyes, her heart. I had fallen deeply in love with her. Sometimes I wonder if she feels the same way. I know that one makes it out and I truly meant it when I said I couldn't imagine myself without her. It's why she'll be the one out of here. She'll be the victor, so many people look up to her. As I will always myself, she's gonna do such great things. Make a stand, a move. She has so much to still do with her life. I won't hold her back from that. I'll risk my life, I'll die with the thoughts of her. Of us, that won't ever be.

I've been walking for an hour or so, waiting for anything to indicate where she is. Where are you vic, I think right before I hear a bit of a loud grunt and scream. I'd know it anywhere, Victoria.

I begin to run straight to the noise as my pulse races, please don't be dead, please don't be dead. I then see it. The girl from three right on her. I take my arrow out just in time to see her district partner with satisfaction written all over his smug face. How I wanna wipe it off. I point my arrow to him thinking maybe it'll cause a distraction but right before I release I see a spear lodged in him. Confusion wipes all over me but Vic takes this opportunity to take control and I watch as she smashes the girls skull on a rock. The cannons go off as I see vic quickly get on her feet looking to wherever she is I still have my bow out as I walk out seeing Vince looking right at both of us. He mutters something that I don't get out but Vic does as she and I make eye contact I look right into her fearful-led blue eyes, I know.
