Todays the day. The games are starting.  I pull finnick into a kiss. He pulls away "we have to go" I nod and he mutters "stick to the plan" I nod and we separate and get injected with a tracker and I meet cinna. He smiles and hugs me "here" and hands me the bracelet. I put it on and he says "it's going to be a place with water from the looks of it. Hope you can swim" I nod "I can swim" "good. That's good. Stay safe. Run like hell. Meet with the others" he says. I nod and hug him "thank you Cinna" he nods and says "I'll go to katniss" leaving me. Then haymitch comes in and he says "come here" pulling me into a tight hug.

He tilts my head up "you go. And keep going you hear me? You play that career pack as the fools they are and you make it out" I nod and hug him "your husband is worried" he mutters then we hear it "20 seconds" shit. I say "I'll see him soon" he kisses my head "you make us proud alright?" I nod "I will" and head inside the tube. He nods my way and soon we're injected on a jet with a tracker.

Soon I'm rose above to bright sunlight...water. The cornucopia is on a beach. I need to go into the bloodbath and run after getting what I need. The countdown happens and I look and can't see finnick. I jump into the water and swim. I run and grab an axe and I'm grabbed and I swing and I see it's the male from district 10. I smirk and we fight. He gets hits in and I grab a knife that's nearby and fling it into his chest. Many cannons go off. I grab the bow and arrows, food, and axe. I leave the cornucopia and head into the jungle.

I pause seeing footprints and I follow them and hide hearing finnick "where could she be?" Me. Katniss says "she could be one of the gongs that went off" finnick snaps "no! She's not! She's a fucking survivor" and their steps fade. I walk in the opposite direction. I pause feeling a rain drop. I put my hand out. Blood. It's hot. Thick. Blood. I run and choke on it and I hit a wall...fuck. I curse and wait at the wall.

Soon it falls down. Finally. I follow the footprints again. There they are the careers. I throw the axe at chaff. The gong goes off and I climb the tree to hide. Eying them. I hear Brutus "now where is number 7." Enobaria says "maybe she was one of the gongs" as another goes off. Gloss says "no. She's too strong. Well equipped. She's out there somewhere. Either she's coming to us as agreed or she's hiding" and they go away. I follow slowly still in the trees. Soon they go to sleep as the night falls. I creep down the tree knife ready and grab the district 6 male and cover his mouth waking him. I tighten my hold kneeling on his chest and slit his throat. He struggles and then the gong goes off and I rush away and up a nearby tree.

They discover the body and freak out "someone's here" enobaria says. Brutus asks "number 7 maybe?" Gloss says "or someone else" I grab my axe and throw it into the face of the other district 5 tribute. They look around as the gong goes off. It's too dark for them to see me thankfully.

I smirk at the gongs going off. "What's so funny?" Katniss asks. I say "every time that cannon go off it's music to my ears" she asks "yeah? And what about Juniper. She could be one of them" I say "she's not" she's stronger than that. Better. "You don't know that" she says. I snap "you don't think I think about that katniss? That she's out there? Or dead. I know. But I also know her. She's a fighter. She's got too much heart to die in night one"

Peeta says "guys enough we have to get along" he's right. But where is my wife?

I leave the careers and hunt and kill, woof, seeder, Cecelia, both district 9s and 10s female. I'm covered in blood and most of it at this point isn't from the rain. I find a place to get some sleep and I open my bag. I eat a bit of the food that's in here and rest. I wake to a burning sensation. I look around and see fog. It's the fog. I leave the tree and run and run. I run and find the fog unable to follow me. Good. I hear a beeping and I grab the parachute and open it. A message from haymitch

Drink up bloody-H

I chuckle and grab the spile and limp to a tree and hit it into it. Water. I drink and cover my hands and wince. Steam rolls off. And the boils are gone. I cup my hands and pour it on the remaining. And sigh, feeling better. A branch snaps. I ready with arrows. Monkeys. I snap my neck with a smirk. "Cmon mutts" I say and that's when they leap at me. I shoot down what I can and I'm clawed at and bitten. I stab at them with my axe next and find an opening to run. I do and they stop. Oh. There's sections here. I look at the moon and see it's about 3am. Huh. I wince and grab my bag and open it finding just a wrap to use for my wounds. Shit. Another parachute. Ha,

I open it and read the message

Stop the bleeding spread it generously. We need you alive Phoenix- P

I nod and use it. I heal quickly. And get more sleep. "JUNE!" I shoot up "finnick?" "JUNE HELP ME!!!" I run and pause seeing birds. Fuck these mutts. I shoot it down and then more take it's place. They have my families, finnicks, haymitch's, voices. How do they have their voices. I cut and shoot as much as I can. But eventually I tire. I curl up covering my ears knowing I'm stuck here for the hour. I cry "NO!" Hearing them tell me they're dead because of me. Finnick and haymitch begging me to free them. And more. I get cuts from their pecking and clawing. I thrash and kill more.

I stand and try again. No luck. Fuck. I stand glaring and kill other jabberjays. I exit the section when the hours done. I find the career pack again. And I load my bow and see them on the beach with everyone else. Gloss kills wiress alerting them and I shoot a arrow into his chest. I load another as katniss does to Enobaria and she misses. But I don't. Killing Enobaria and I run to cashmere and smirk "killing your pack was fun" as she swings at me and misses.

I hack the axe into her back and say "should've chosen rebellion" killing her. "JUNE!" I hear making my head snap up to Finn's. He pulls me into his chest tightly and I wince at my aches. He mutters "thank god you're okay." I nod patting his back. He asks "you're okay right. Blood" frantically checking me over. I stop him "I'm just sore." "What the hell happened June" he asks.

I note katniss' bow risen and pointed at me. I roll my eyes "pipe it down katniss. If I wanted you dead I'd have killed you in your sleep when you woke up to that fog" finnick asks "you were there?" I nod and say "I'm sorry about mags" he says "why didn't you join us?" Katniss is still on guard "we can't trust her finnick." Finnick turns to her "put the bow down katniss. Now." "She's been spying on us and didn't even care to let you know she was still alive!" She argues. "Haymitch is my family. He cares about you. And that's what matters. I personally don't care. But as long as he does. I'll do as he asked of me" showing her the bangle.

She says "what were you doing?" I reply "I don't answer to you" finnick grabs my hand "let's get you cleaned up first" "finnick" katniss says. He shakes his head "not now" he leads me to the water and he helps me get the blood out of my hair and from under my nails. He asks "what happened?" I reply "I had a different plan Finn" "what? What are you talking about? The idea was to form an alliance here. With me. With them" he replies confused. "I killed them." I add "most of them"

He says "what?" "I did it for you. So they couldn't go on and possibly hurt you" I tell him. "You're who killed the other victors" he says. I nod he hugs me to him "did they hurt you?" I shake my head "didn't know I was even coming" he nods and says "thank god you're okay" I ask "you're not mad?" He chuckles "more worried than anything" I say "I'm fine" "what happened while you were out there" he asks I say "the arena is a clock" he questions "what?"

I nod "lighting at 12-1. 1-2: blood rain. 2-3: fog. 3-4: monkeys. 4-5: birds. 6-7: beast. 10-11: wave. 11-12: could be bugs." He grins "you're a genius." And we head back to the group and explain. Then suddenly everything spins and I end up in the water and everything goes black.
