Completed Scartissue [Editing on Hold]

Day two

I am woken by sunlight in my eyes. I open them and looking around, wondering where I am. I sit up and remember everything but mainly the fact that. I am in the Hunger Games. I look around for James and see him sitting in the corner, "Hey J." I say to him.

"Hey Am." He croaks he is eating an apple, the throws one to me

"Thanks! Thirsty?" I say, eating the apple.

"Yeah" I look outside and look at the water wondering if its poisoned too, "I didn't drink any in case you were right, but I still don't believe you!" I laugh and remember what I did last night after I finished repacking I set some simple snares I learned with the rope. I run outside and cheek the snare. There's a live rabbit. I take down the snare leaving the rabbit entangled. I go into the cave and fetch the bowl. I fill it with water and make the rabbit drink. It dies. "TOLD YA!" I mini yell, not loud enough for anyone to hear. I ran into the cave and grabbed the water-purifying tablets and put one in the bowl... I waited for the tablets to take effect as I went to the second snare, another rabbit. I make this one drink too and it survives. I pass the bowl to James and fill up all the drink bottle and purify them. and take a drink out of the bowl. I start a fire cooking the apple, not caring if anyone sees the smoke. a cannon shot startles us and were surprised to find the hovercraft come to pick up the dead body close to us, "James, should we run or fight if they come?" I ask my brother, "I say we fight them BUT be ready to make an escape... If we can" That last part was so quiet I'm not even sure I heard it correctly but we back up our stuff, I give James the sword, a blade and hide the spear nearby just in case. I hide four of the packs up high in a tree -if we cant have them, no-one can- my brother and I have the other two on our backs. I have my bow and arrows and a dagger. I am in a tree. I look at James and ask, "Are you ready?"

"Y-yeah" he stutters.

"Come on, James! We have to go!.. We could be next!!" I say loudly as bait. I listen carefully but hear nothing. I nod at James, "O-okay, okay I-I just need to get my sleeping bag! Okay?!" he adds to the bait. Now I hear footsteps approaching. "Hurry up!" I yell.

"I-I can't find my water bottle, Amanda!" This boy cannot lie. I look into his green eyes. They look so much like my own. He is terrified. "Leave without it!" I order.

"W-we could die of dehydration!!" 

"I don't care, come on!" The footsteps are very close now. I aim my arrow at where they should come out. I think there's three pairs of feet. I look at James and mouth the word three and he nods. The owners of the feet bursts through the bushes with swords and blades raised. Its Floodplain (again), Althea and Dee-Dee. I wonder what's with all these alliances normally there's only a couple alliances. People must be allies with other people they know. I shoot and kill Floodplain and hear his cannon. I also get Althea in the arm. James slits Dee-Dees throat and I hear her cannon. Only Althea is left and wounded. It looks like she's trying to decide on making a run for it but he has a knife aimed at me. I'm trying to decide weather I can shoot before she throws or if I can dodge the knife. I don't think I can. Suddenly something hits her in the chest and the cannon announces her death. I look at where the projectile came from and I see James holding three blades in his hand, "Thank you, James..." I don't get to finish my sentence as something hit me in the back of my head...
