I enter the tube. Today is truly the beginning of the end for me. I'm not going to win. I know that. But alteast I have a shot at making it awhile. That's all thanks to my allies Emerson, and Mimi. Without them, I'd probably die within the first three hours.
But we have to be ruthless. It's not an option. We need to take each and every kill we see inorder for us to have a chance. I mean come on, look at the carers! They're probably going to kill everything insight!
I start rising up. Today came faster than I thought. I stood on my tiptoes and looked outside. But, the surroundings aren't what hit me first. It was the lack of oxygen. I could barley breath! I saw the other tributes panting. My ears suddenly pop as I get to my feet.
'Don't step off the platform, Emma. Don't step off the platform.' I kept saying to myself.
"Ten...."
"Nine...." I find Emerson. She's four spots away.
"Eight...." I look around for Mimi.
"Seven....." I can't find her!
"Six...." My eyes go everywhere until I see her blonde hair. She's six spaces away.
"Five...." I'm ready too run.
"Four...." I can do this.
"Three...." I can do it.
"Two...." I can do it.
"One! Ladies and gentleman, let the 200th hunger games begin!"
I found Emerson. The plan was to run off and find a good place for camp while Mimi got the supplies. I ran South and Emerson followed. I was still panting ferociously and I sat down trying to catch my breath.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Three canons means three deaths. Then I realized something...
"It could have been Mimi!" I say to Emerson.
"Oh gosh! You're right!" She said panicking.
BOOM
"Everytime that cannon goes off, that's another chance it could be Mimi." I say.
Emerson looks me straight in the eyes. "Then we have to go save her."
I nod. We have too. She was only 14 and so small for her age. That made me worried. We ran back to the cornocopia, to find Mimi driving a dagger into the district 10 boys chest.
BOOM
"And that's for trying to take my bow! Dirtbag!" She yelled at the limb dead body while kicking it. Wow! She was crazy! But in the hunger games crazy is good. Crazy just might help you win.
"Hi guys!" she yelled walking away from the cornocopia.
"Hi." I say.
"I got all of us weapons." she says.
She hands the bow to me, gives the sword to Emerson, and keeps the daggers.
"Thanks." Emerson says.
"No problem." Mimi replies.
"Lets go find a place to set up camp." I say.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
I covered my ears, eight people have already died. This might be shorter than I originally anticipated.
"This looks like a nice spot." Emerson said pointing to a clearing with a stream.
"Yeah looks good." I say.
With me being and inventor and all, I made a shelter for us out of mud, sticks, and leaves. It wasn't the best in the world but it would do for tonight.
Emerson made a fire while I gathered some water to boil. Mimi, gathered some food. She came back with several frogs. It was pretty gross but I have to eat something. I roasted over the fire and finally ate it.
After Mimi was done, she went to bed. Emerson did the same. However stayed up and watched. I kept my bow close. When all of the sudden a boy and a girl come out of the bushes. Apparently Emerson wasn't asleep yet because she got up and sprang into action.
I shot my arrow at the girl and she feel down but didn't die. I shot her one more time in the chest.
BOOM
Emerson stuck her sword through his ear and it came out the other.
BOOM
I killed someone. I didn't even have a problem doing it either. What monster has the capitol turned me into.
I ask Emerson if she could take the night shift for awhile. She agreed and I went and laid down in the shelter. It took awhile but I soon found myself dreaming, in no time...
