(I skipped a little bit. Sorry)

  I wake up to a parachute and look up. I see the silver thing float down and I see body armor and a note attached. I put the armor on under my jackets, and quickly put it back on because it's cold. I read the note, and smile more.

Ariel,
Come home today.
~Finnick

I put the note in my pocket and jump off of the tree. I want to know where everyone is getting the money from, despite them being from the Capitol. I hear a crackling sound and turn to see a tribute sleeping by a fire. Idiot. He didn't put his fire out. Now he's going to die. I take a small, dainty knife out of my vest, and start cutting his face. He wakes up and I smile in his face before stabbing his throat and then chest. The cannon booms, and I see that it was the boy from 8. I laugh maniacally and run off to kill someone else. I can't believe what I've become, but I love it. Adrenaline is rushing through my veins and I scream out.
"COME GET ME!" I yell into the air. And I hear someone running up behind me. I turn around and stab them with my trident and see that it was the girl from 8.
"MARY!" A girl screams, and runs to the clearing. I smirk and then hide. The girl from 7 starts crying over the loss of her ally, and then throws an axe in my direction. I throw a knife at her and she collapses on top of her lifeless ally.

"ARIEL!" I hear my mom scream.
"MOM!" I yell and calm down, the rush of power gone. Then I hear a gunshot.
"MOM!" I yell again. No response.
"ARIEL!" I hear Crystal yell, and I run to the director of the screams. All I see is a bird. A jabberjay. I run away, and right into the female from 6. I trip and my trident goes into her chest. My eyes go wide with shock.
  "I'm sorry" I whisper, to her lifeless body, and the cannon booms.

  "Congratulations Ariel Castel. You are the winner of the 66th Annual Hunger Games" a mechanical voice says, and I can't believe it. I won. A hovercraft comes and picks me up. I can't stop smiling. I won, I really won. As soon as I'm on the hovercraft the tracker is removed and I'm put on a hospital bed. The doctors start stitching my gashes and hooking my up to this medicine machine.

*Later*

  An avid brings me a clear soup, water, applesauce, and a pill. I take the pill and drink some water. Surprisingly, my stomach hasn't shrunk because of all of my sponsor gifts. I don't know how people got he money. I eat the rest of my food and try to sleep.
