The Hunger Games - Second Quarter

31

I hadn't slept that night, the tributes that had followed me in here were in the room above me. I had decided that the best option was to leave. So I quietly grabbed my stuff and crept to the door, as I opened it the worst thing that could possibly happen, happened. The door fell right off it's hinges and smashed to the ground with a huge bang. There was a loud scream from upstairs, they now knew someone was here. I took off down the corridor but my bag caught on a piece of wood sticking out and I was thrown back.
"Is that?" A male voice asked, "It is."
"Elsa Everdeen." A female voice said.
I flipped myself over to look at the people. There were three. Two boys and a girl. The girl looked a lot like Glimmer with her silky long blonde hair and her dazzling eyes, she was tall and thin. I envied her looks. One of the boys was short and super skinny while the other was huge and built like an ox. He reminded me of Cato and Thresh and I was scared of him.
"What are you doing alone?" The skinny boy asked. For a second I thought they might've wanted to make a deal with me until the girl ran at me with a knife in her hand.
I quickly grabbed my pack and slid and my butt backwards and wound up falling backwards down a flight of stairs. Silently I hid underneath the stairs and tried to find the knives I had. I groaned in realization that I had left my sword in the room I was in. Once I found a knife I held it close to my body as I heard the tributes make their way down the stairs.
"She could be anywhere." The girl said.
"Shh." Someone replied.
I closed my eyes for a second and I regretted it because as soon as I opened them, there they were.
It was dark and all I could see were their eyes glaring down at me with wide grins.
"Don't run next time." The tall boy said.
"Kendal can I do it please?" The girl asked the tall boy. He passed her his sword. I tried to get up and run but the tall boy grabbed me and stood me up, I struggled to get free but I couldn't.
"Do it." He said. She smiled and raised the sword but she stopped suddenly and blood came out of her mouth and she stared at me and made a weird noise before she fell limp to the ground. She had an arrow through her head. I looked towards the door and Katniss was stood there.
"Run!!" The skinny boy exclaimed before running out the back door. The tall boy dropped me hard on the ground and followed him.
