When I awake I look around thinking im home but im just in my room in the tribute center. I get up and yawn trying not to wake cato. The games don't start until 10. It's 7:58 so I decide to go get breakfast.
"Where are you going?" I hear cato asking me.
"To go eat..." I say and then walk out. I go to the table and sit down. The Avox serves us delicious food. After awhile Pandora comes to get me to get ready.
"Skye here is the clothes." She says and hands me a solid black tank top and dark green cargo pants. "I let her do my hair. She puts it into a ponytail. She starts to wrap it around and then she ties it up. She sticks something in there.
"What did you put in my hair?" I ask
"Knife holder." She says.
"30 seconds till launch" a voice says
We both hug and I walk into the tube. It closes behind me. A few seconds later it starts to rise up. I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and when the light hits my eyes, I open them. It's a forest. I look around and try to spot Cato. He's about 5 tributes away from me. There are 30 seconds left until we can step off of our plates.
20...19...18...17...16...
Maybe I can win this..
10..9...8...7...6..5...4...3...2...1
I jump off my plate yelling "MAYBE NOT!" I run to the cornucopia grab a knife and stab district 8 male in the heart.
Does it matter? Maybe not...
District 6 female is coming up fast so I take a katana and slit her neck. After a few more kills the initial blood bath is over. 1...2...3..4..5...6 and so on.
11 dead in one day.
The careers gather around the cornucopia and discuss the plan. Im covered in blood and Glimmer looks at me like im crazy. Well technically I am. I just killed like 5 people.
"So I suggest we snag the tributes from district 9 and the female from 4." I say
Cato gives me a weird look and Marvel kind of blushes.
"OOOHHHH MARVEL HAS A CRUSH!~" i say quite teasingly.
"What?! No I don't!" He says, trying to defend the fact of his obvious crush on Lily.
"Anyway!" Glimmer is getting ticked off. I start to giggle. "What's so funny!"
I start to laugh even harder but she doesn't find it funny. She lunges at me and starts to attack me.
"WHAT THE HECK GLIMMER!" I yell and start to attack back. She grabs my neck and starts choking me. That's when I lose it. I take out my knife and stab her im the neck. The let's go immediately and her cannon booms.
"A little help here!" I say. Cato and Marvel grab my arm and drag me out from underneath Glimmer.
"What the heck was wrong with her?!" I yell and hug Cato.
"I don't know. I think the arena is getting to her. Only one can live right?" Marvel says and reassures me.
----3 hours later----
After about 3 hours of walking around and hunting tributes i start to get tired. "Are any of you guys sleepy?" I ask
"Im a little tired..." Cato says
"Same here. We should set up camp." Marvel says. We find a nice spot to set up camp.
"I'll take first watch..." Cato says "Skye get some rest."
I nod and sit next to him leaning on the tree. He opens up his jacket and zips me up in it, with him still inside. I put my head on his chest and I can hear his strong and steady heartbeat. In a matter of minutes i fall into a deep sleep.
