MARCUS' POV

8:53, day 2

That was close, too close, waaay too close. One less second of quick thinking and I would've been a gonner, and now I need to show the careers where Lucy, Beau, and Shakira are, that lot will hate me for that, hooray, more people that want to kill me! I hate these games, I was trained a bit, yes, but I'm small for my age, so it's harder for me. I have a knack for getting myself into trouble, if I just hadn't gone for that bag then I'd never have been in this mess, I thought whilst sitting in the cornucopia whilst Hamish guarded me, he really hates me, I wonder why... The girls don't seem to hate me so much, at least that's a bonus, but that doesn't mean that they wouldnt kill me if they got the chance.

The upsides of being with the careers : Free food, Free protection, Closer to survival.
The downsides of being with the careers : No killing, No freedom, Everyone wants you dead.
That was all I thought about for ages, then they called me out, uh oh, was this the end, or what was going on?
