Ariel POV
I get dressed in the clothes that Cinna gave me and then I eat a burrito and down 3 huge glasses of water. Then without realizing it its time to get into the tube. Cinna smiles and next thing I know I'm on my platform facing the cornacopia. I see a huge pouch full of triple bladed ninja stars and a bulky bug out back that's camo. I instant think I need both of those. Then the timer starts counting down from 10. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I think let the games begin. I run grab the pouch and the bag and find a tall tree near the edge of the forrest. I climb the tree. I see the bloodbath take place. I also see Cato stab Clove in the heart with his sword. Then I wait until nightfall. I hear Cato clomp his feet to let me know I'm here. I jump down and land on my feet. We hug, then he kisses me passionately. I smile and we break heading to a cave that Cato says he found earlier. When we get there me and Cato explore the contents of our bags. I have 4 rolls of bandages, 1 huge tube of healing ointment, beef jerky, a big metal canteen of water, fever pills, Metal sticks to make a splint , 2 extra shirts, and a small sleeping bag. The pouch of ninja stars has 250 ninja stars. Cato has fever pills, 8 bread rolls, 1 rub of goat cheese, 25 apples, 9 rolls of bandages, matches, knives, and 2 pairs of night vision glasses. We pack it back up and then it's 10:30 pm. He lays up against the wall and picks me up and cradles me in his arms. " I love you" he says.
