Mel in the 71st Hunger Games

My first kill

Dear Diary,

Today I was trying to teach Wade how to jump from tree to tree. He'a still very scared of the rabbits, and I can't convince him to climb down the tree. At last when he learnt to jump, I discovered that I was right about the Capitol getting bored. Because I shot a squirrel out of the tree, but it didn't look like the others. It was more like that rabbit, it resembled it very much. It had red eyes, razorsharp teeth. Just like the rabbits.

Wade had started to whimper, and the squirrels started to jump after us. We leapt to the ground, and ran and ran. I let my mind wander away to my family. I was sure mother was laughing and willing me to die. But Trev would be doing the very opposite. He would be willing me to go home.

After we had finished running, we saw another tribute coming towards us. I think from 1. He saw me and ran to me with his sword. Whiteout thinking I shot an arrow at his chest. He stopped and fell down. His cannon sounded immediately.

8 left. Wade started talking about how we must split up. I nodded and he turned to leave. I looked down at the body of the boy from 1. His name was Bryce or something. He was my first kill. Only his face appeared tonight. Apparently, the squirrels didn't have much effect on anyone.

That's all. Tonight I'll be wondering about Wade for sure.
