Willows P.O.V
10...9...8...7...6...5...2...1 "Let the 77th Annual Hunger Games begin. "

I launch off the pedestal like an arrow ready to hit the target. Right now me target was to get a bow. This year there's only two of each object like the regular games.

The bow is only inches from my finger tip when I a silver disk comes flying towards my foot , making me trip and smack my head to the ground.

Everything went blurry for a second. I lay there trying to figure out who's on me. Then my vision clears up. GREAT! Its Tiffany White , apparently her and Josh are cousins .

She takes something out of her pocket, but I can't see what it is until she's holding it over me.

It's a long, metal blade shining when the sunlight hits it. She puts it to my neck. " Well, Well, what's the mockingjays daughter going to do now, huh? " she said.

"Just leave me alone! " I said as I tried to get her of me by kicking her. She fell back and I stood up and ran. I grabbed the bow and sheath and slid it over my shoulder.

I kept on running until I trip on a tree root. She then catched up to me, real fast. I covered my head as she jumped on me with the knife . "Where do you think you're goin' " she said, putting the blade back on my neck.

"Let me go, please!" I pleaded. " Ha! That's what you want, don't you? " she said. " She rubs the knife around my face and neck. I start to breath hard, and felt my face turn red.

She moves the knife towards the side of my neck. "HELP! HELP! TYLER! TYLER! TYLER PLEASE HELP! " I yelled for help off the top of my lungs.

Tiffany moves the blade to my upper arm. Then she digs the cold, metal tip of the knife into my skin. "Aagh! " I scream in agonizing pain.

"Shut up! Shut up you little -" Tiffany suddenly coughed out blood , making some of it splatter on my face . She fall flat on me, and I push her off.  The cannon goes off, marking the end of her life.

I look up to see what had happened, what had killed her. I see a panting Tyler with a bloody knife, and a bow an sheath around his shoulder.

He helps me up. " I came as fast as I could ." Tyler said. " Thanks, you saved my life. " I tell him. " Its nothing, you know i always will." He said and hugged me tight.

I closed my eyes tight and for a moment, just a moment, I imagined myself safe at home. In the meadow, laying on Tylers chest.

Then I open my eyes, but what I see is not the beautiful lush meadow of District 12. Instead I see Josh running towards us.

"Tyler watch out! " I yelled. As if on instinct, Tyler pushes me to the ground and then turns around, standing in front of me. Then Tyler draws a sword out from his bag.

Then I hear the clang of the two metal swords, fighting against each other. Tyler turns around , still fighting with Josh and says, " Willow Go! Run! " I quickly get up and then say ," But what about you?!"

"I'll be fine, go!" He says. I go to run but then I see that Tiffany had a resource bag on. I go to her and take it off and I put it on. Then I start to run towards the only place I know for sure I'll be okay.

But what about Tyler, will he be okay? I kept on thinking.
