ARENA

I wake up sweating and panting from my dream. I died. I stand up and walk over to my dresser. I get out normal clothes on and walk to the table. I sit down and eat then say " Any advice?". " Don't go into the cornucopia. Distance yourselves from other tributes. Run as far as you can then find water. Oh and stay alive. " he says. I nod and look to Cinna I can tell he feels sorry for me. " I'll make it out I promise. " I say to Cinna. He smiles and leads me to the balcony. I grab the ladder with my drenched hands from sweating so much. A current freezes me in place and I ride up. They take a long needle and stick it in my forearm. All I can think is this is agonising. I see a lump appear and realises its my tracker. I in freeze and stand up then sit down. Cinna comes up and walks to another room. I leave space for a chair next to me. Marvel comes in and sits next to me. The ride was silent. I was sitting in a room filled with people I'd have to kill. I feel something touch my hand and I look down. Marvel is holding my hand. I smile at him and kiss him on the cheek. We get to our chambers and I get dressed in mine. Cinna walks over to me pulls out the pin. It puts it on my shirt then pulls it close. " You can do this girl on fire. " he say and kisses me on the forehead. I say thank you and step in the tube. It closes behind me and I look to Cinna suddenly frantic. He points to his chin and I nod. Head high. I see brightness that blinds me for a second then I regain my vision. Marvel next to me. It's a forest, wheat field and lake. I breathe in deep. I'm going to the forest. I see only one bag really close I'm going for a weapon first. I hear the gong and run for the cornucopia. I run in and see the silver bow. I run faster and faster. I reach it and grab it but when I do Glimmer does too. I tug it out of her hands and grab a huge pack. I run into Clove and fall on the ground. I start crawling back frantically. Help! I wanted to scream. Marvel comes up to Clove and whispers something in her ear she nods and holds out her hand. I grab it and she helps me up. Glimmer comes up behind me to steal my weapon but I notice. " Don't you dare." I hiss at her and she backs away. Cato comes over and eyes us down. " Would you like to join us?" he says. I know it's either this or death and plus I'll be with Marvel. I nod and load my bow ready at anytime to shot. He see and laughs "No need for that. Oh and we already put all the stuff in a pile. " he says. " You aren't doing a good job keeping care of it " I say and nod to a brown haired girl gong to get food. I pull on the bow string and let go killing her. They all nod appreciatively at me and set up tents. Marvel sets one up for me and him and motions me to come in it. " Wild day,huh. Right?" he says. I nod thinking about Peeta and Rue. I walk out of the tent over to the pile. Where's it at? There! 2 extra quivers and a bow. I take a extra one and put it in my pack. I grab the quiver and bow and walk over Glimmer's tent. I walk in to see her sitting there with no weapon. I hand her the bow and arrows and smile at her then walk back to the pile. I grab a Breyer sword for Cato and hand it to him. I find the rest of the knives but keep one. I hand her the knives and she smiles and starts sharpening them. Lastly but not least I find Marvel a spear. I hand it to him and sit down next to him. He pulls a necklace out of his pocket and puts it on the neck. He kisses me and kisses me. I do the same back but stop. I hug him tightly and Glimmer walks in and tells us we have watch. " Don't mess it up by kissing and not watching. I saw you guys. " she says and grins. I blush and pull Marvel out of the tent and to the outside. I kiss him once more in front of Glimmer just to annoy her. She rolls her eyes and walks in her tent. " Why?" I ask Marvel. " All of the Above. " he says and smiles. " When?" I ask him staring deep into his eyes. " When there's 10 left. Including us. " he says. I nod and look around. " What did you whisper in Clove's ear?" I ask. " I told them you could be helpful and you could help up find Peeta. " he says and shrugs. I freeze at the thought of Peeta's death being my fault. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I unfreeze when I see Marvel looking worried. He relaxes and I stand up to go wake up Clove and Cato for their turn. I wake them up. Cato goes to strike at me with his sword but I grab his old one and block it then disarm him. I then grab it before it hits the floor. He looks impressed then takes his sword back. Clove finally wakes up and walks outside. I walk out of her tent and walk to Marvel and I's tent. I see he's already sound asleep. I lay down and fall asleep in to the depths of the bad dreams that await me.
