Y/n's pov
*I wake up laying on a forest floor near a large tree. I have a small knife in my hand, and I'm wearing black combat boots, black combat trousers, a blue short sleeved shirt, and a black raincoat. I sit up, looking around, and a black bag to my side.*
"Where am I?" I say to myself, standing up. *I suddenly hear laughter, as I turn around I see the careers.*
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here." Clove says, smirking. *I look at her and then the rest of the careers. We are wearing the same clothes but Marvel and Glimmer in a red top, and Cato and Clove in a Green top.*
"I think it's time we kill her." Glimmer says, looking at me. *I look towards her with fear in my eyes.*
"I call dibs." Clove says. *I look at her and start to back away, holding the knife out in front of me.*
"Hey, where do you think you're going." Marvel says, catching my attention. *I suddenly feel a strong pair of arms around me. One arm over my neck putting me in a chokehold and the other around my waist holding me still. I drop the knife and raise my hands to the persons arm, trying to pull it away from my neck.*
"Hahaha. There's no point in trying, sweetheart, you'll never get out of my grasp." I hear a male voice say.
"You got her, Cato!" Clove says happily. *I feel a pair of hands around my ankles and another pair around my wrists. I feel Cato's arms leave my body.*
"HEY! LET ME GO!" I shout, but it's no use. *The two new people pick me up and walk a few steps before placing me down. The person towards my feet, Marvel, holds my legs down, and the person towards my hands, Glimmer, holds my arms down. Before I could even consider moving I feel a body on me, Clove.*
"Haha, I can finally get rid of you." She says, holding a knife to my throat.
"And the best bit is, your sister is going to be watching." She says, pressing the knife deeper into my throat. *Despite the pain, I struggle out of the careers grasp at the thought of Elsie watching this.*
"Oh, there's no point in trying. We're going to kill you. Here, now, and painfully." Clove says, finishing in a phycotic laugh. *Suddenly, Clove pushes the knife into my throat. *
"AHH!" I scream as she pulls the knife across my neck, cutting it. This hurts like hell, like to the point I'd rather be dead.
"Awww, does that hurt?" Clove asks sarcastically with laugh. *I can hear Marvel and Glimmer laugh at my pain. Clove slowly swipes the knife across my neck another 3 times, and i start coughing up blood.*
"Now, let's leave you be for a while, and let the pain really sink in." Clove says. *She is still straddling me, and I can still feel the two pairs of hands around my arms and legs. They don't move, they don't talk, they just sit their and watch me accept the fact I'm going to die like this in front of the entierty of Panem. The pain starts to grow more and more and more. I slowly start to loose conscienceness, taking long blinks that increase more and more and more until as I close my eyes I see the silhouette of Clove and the forest above me and then I close my eyes for almost 20 seconds knowing it may be my last chance to see anything I open them, but I don't see what I expect. I see a familiar light grey ceiling. The room on District7's floor. I open my eyes even more and push myself up. I look around and see the familiar room. I give a heavy sigh of relief knowing I'm still in the capital not the arena, I've had no more interactions with the careers, I'm still alive, in still breathing, I have full consciencesness.*
"Thank god. I still have a few days." I say to myself, acnologing the fact I'm not going into the arena yet. *I lean over to look at the clock, it says 4:27am. That's way too early to be getting up. I normally wake up around 6 and this way earlier, let alone the fact I have my first day of training, so I should get lots of sleep. I sigh and roll over, and pull the covers up, trying to fall asleep. I close my eyes and try to think about how this will all be over soon, but it's no use, I'm not falling asleep again. It's to early to get ready for training, so I might aswell watch more of the mentor's games and as I'm staying in my room and not seeing anyone I might aswell stay in my pyjamas. I pull the covers of myself and stand as I get out of bed, I look at the clock. 4:55am so I have just over 4 hours. Not including eating breakfast and getting ready. I should be able to get a lot of mentors watched and recorded down. I make the bed and then grab the remote to control the window. I haven't actually tried it, but I heard you can make it into like photos of things. I press the button, and an image of a beach with a night sky comes up, then a waterfall with stars, then a lake again with stars, then a factory with a cloudy sky. This must be live footage, the sky is always dark, and it's dark out now because it's night. Then, a clearing in a forest, it had a dark sky with millions of stars, I can hear an owl hooting in the background and leaves russeling due to an early morning brease. Just like at home, being in the forest late at night with Izzy and Logan when there are little peacekeepers around. We'd talk and laugh about things at school, the games, peacekeepers, anything and everything. It pains me knowing I'm not there in District 7, but here in the capital, about to go into the Hunger Games in a few days. As much as I want to turn it off, the sounds from the forest calms me. I crawl over my bed to grab the remote for the TV, but also my pad and pen.*
