Chapter 14 ~ Lonely

(Sorry for the short chapter!)

If I could I would sleep all day. I am hidden from the rest of the tributes. I kind of want to build a fire, but that would lead the Careers straight for me.

Today is day 3, the 3rd day of the hunger games. And it will last till the last tributes. The last one standing.

My "camp" isn't too far away from the Cornucopia. I lay my bags up against the log and decided to actually look for water. I still have some left, but it's good to look for it now instead of dehydrating while trying to look for it. I walk around trying to look for any signs or water or maybe even tributes nearby. No, I am not going to raid anyone's camp, don't touch my stuff and I won't touch yours. That's fair enough.

I get to a rocky area and I think I hear water running. It's a huge river running. I take my only backpack I brought with me off, and take the other canteen I had that was empty out. I fill it up with water. I look across the river and see the Careers wandering around. I don't think they see me, or at least I hope not.

I splash some water on my face. I put the full canteen back into by backpack and I swing it over my shoulder. I am actually not that far away from the river. The river would be an ideal place to stay because it is gorgeous and it has a source everyone needs.

I sit down and stare up at the fake sky. Everything is controlled by the Gamemakers. I would like to get through the games without having to kill anyone. I think I can do it. So far I haven't associated with any other tributes...yet. I did see the Careers but they didn't see me. I sit there looking around. I'm lonely.
It's too quiet here
Too quiet.
Too quiet to be real.
No birds are chirping, the wind isn't blowing.
It makes me even more lonely than I already am.
Maybe I should just lay down. Take a nap. Not worry about anything. I'm Finch. FoxFace...sly...elusive.

I like that.

I chant it in my head over and over again until I start to drift off to sleep.

I am FoxFace, the sly and elusive girl from District 5.
