"You will do great Finnick", my stylist says as she zips up my orange jumpsuit from the back.The jumpsuit is made of a rubberish material and has a black stripe going down the back of it.The jumpsuit stretches from my collar bone to my ankles," Do I get shoes?" I ask looking at my bare feet."No they didn't provide them". She answers laughing. "Well I've never seen a games where they had no shoes", I say looking at her. " You've got 10 seconds left",she leans down and puts her lips next to my ear." Finnick your the most gorgeous person I've ever seen and I just want you to know that I'm rooting for you.The capital fans are in love with you Finnick,they are all rooting for you.Win". She gives me a slight push from behind and I walk into the tube.I turn around and wink at her,she smiles and watches as the tube rises with me in it.I feel the heat instantly as I am lifted into the arena,the powerful rays from the sun keep me from looking up.My eyes adjust to the light and I see it,the bright golden cornucopia in front of me.I can barely see the weapons and supplies circling it.Sand surrounds our plates and the cornucopia.I look to my right and see jungle and the top of a mountain behind it.I glance over to my right and see swamp.Stickers and thorns outline the outside of it,I look at the count down in front of me.16 seconds left,I scan the blurry weapons trying to find a trident.10....9.....8.....7....6....5....4....3....2....1. The gong goes out and I jump off my metal plate,I hit the sand and I scream in agony.It is so hot that the sand is absorbing all of the heat from the sun.I hear people start to scream and grunt as they hit the sand,the sand felt like lava under my feet.The pain was so unbearable that tears filled my eyes,I started running for the cornucopia.Each step I took felt antagonizing,my feet felt like they were on fire.As I neared the cornucopia I could already see people that have reached it,I couldn't see who they were since it was so blurry.What is making it so hard to see?I look down at the sand,the heat radiating off the sand is making everything so blurry.I reach the cornucopia and see that it casts a shadow on the sand with the supplies in it. One after another tributes dive into the shadowy part on the sand trying to get relief from the burning sand.I dive into the shadowy part and my eyes adjust just in time to see the axe flying towards my head,I duck but not fast enough.It cuts me right above my right ear and I feel the warm blood instantly,I scan the area looking for something to protect myself with.I see a knife 2 feet from me,I run and scoop it up.I turn around and immediately tackled to the ground,I look up at my attacker.The boy stabs downward with his knife,aiming for my head.I move my head to the side and his blade hits the sand behind me.I thrust my knife into his side,he screams and spits his blood in my face.I roll out from under him,and see Brock next to me. "Kill her would you!?" He said pointing to a girl in the cornucopia picking over the weapons," I'll get her", I answer. I run into the cornucopia and pick up a spear on the shack to my left,she looks up and raises her spear.I throw mine and move to the side,her spear misses my stomach by an inch and my spear smashes into the center of her chest.She falls backwards on the floor,I run to the shack of weapons and grab a spear and knife.I run out of the cornucopia and see a girl about to pass the mouth of the cornucopia,she has a backpack on and I see a machete in her right hand.I raise my spear and throw it at her,the spear flies through the air and buries itself in her leg.She falls on the ground,I run at her to finish her off with my knife.I am tackled from the side and all of the breath leaves my body,the boy raises his axe in his left hand and brings it down on my left shoulder.I hear the bone snap and my blood splatters on the left side of my face blinding my left eye.I scream and punch him in the face with my right hand,he rolls off me.I get on top of him and stab him in the throat over and over and over again.Then a foot kicks me in the back of the head and I black out.
