Clint POV

"Ladies and gentlemen, let the Seventy-fifth Hunger Games begin!" The voice of Claudius Templesmith, the Hunger Games announcer, booms through the air. I look at the sky, which has a pink color. I avert them and see the gold of the Cornucopia in front of me. That is where I must go, to get weapons; the bow and arrow, food, find Katniss and head out. But how will I get there? There is nothing but water surrounding me and i'll have to swim; even though my swimming sucks. Don't tell Natasha I said that. My thoughts go to Finnick, who has a big advantage in this arena; since he is from the fishing district. He'll probably arrive at the Cornucopia first, where he can pick out a few tridents. But then what? What if everybody else is still stranded on their plates, what will he do?

The countdown commences. "60, 59, 58, 57...", I glance on my right there's a thin strip of sand, as a path leading towards the Cornucopia. On the other end it ends on a small beach, and after that there are trees for as far as I can see. They're not normal trees, not like the ones we have back in Katniss' district. But they're too far away for me to really examine them. I turn around on the metal plate and see that there are more strips of sand, like spokes on a wheel. Between the strips there are pairs of tributes. Twelve spokes, twenty four tributes, and all of us stranded on our plates. I look for Katniss but I can't see her anywhere. She's probably on the other side of the Cornucopia. It would have been too easy for her to be standing here next to me, I guess. If there is something the Gamemakers don't like, it is things being easy for tributes.

"30, 29, 28, 27,26...", I decide that i'll attempt to swim as fast as possible then get up and make a dash for the cornucopia. I formulate the rest of my plan as the countdown reaches its final seconds. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1....", I dive into the sparkling mirage of the river as the initial boom goes off and swim swiftly; activating the flotation belt that i found during the countdown. As i began to float, I managed the swim much more efficiently; reaching the ledge faster than I ever thought. I pull myself up and see that Enobaria is also just getting herself up. I make a dash for the cornucopia, dodging a few badly aimed arrows. I laugh to myself; someone actually chose the bow and arrow. I try to make out the direction of the arrows and realise that Cecilia is the one with the arrows. I dodge another one of 'her' arrows and kick her right in her core; sending her fumbling backwards. I grab a bo staff nearby and strategically attack her so that she can't fire her arrows and eventually would let go of the bow and arrows. I decide to drown her and startle her and remove the belt that acts as the flotation device. Thankfully, she lets go of her weapon as she starts to heave of exhaustion. I finally send her flying with a final sweep from the bo staff. She falls back into the river and doesn't rise back. I decide to keep this bo staff and grab the bow and arrows and head off around the cornucopia; shooting down nearby tributes. As I make my way  around, Finnick appears with a worried look on his face. 

"Duck!" He yells.

I drop to the floor of the cornucopia as Finnick pierces a trident in a tributes chest behind me. 

"You can trust me." He said. "Katniss is around here; waiting."

I quickly follow Finnick around; whilst embedding an arrow in Felicia from District 8. 

"Katniss!" I exclaim as I run towards her. 

"Thank god you're still alive." Katniss said.

"I could say the same thing about you."
