I took one look at the Cornupcopia and made a dash for it in one of the spaces between the tables leading directly to the Cornucopia. Hardly anyone else was heading to it. I have a chance. I thought. Until I heard the pounding of feet behind me. Oh crud! I ran faster, I almost get to the Cornucopia when someone tackles me form the behind. I grab onto a metal water container, twist around and slam it into the person's head.
"OW YOU BASTARD!" A girl's voice screamed and I feel an impact of a fist on my face and my head slams against the floor. I'm shoved away and kicked on my side.
"Next time, learn to notice who your allies are and who your freaking District partner is!" I roll around and groan and look up into the angry face of Sophia, who already has a small bump forming on where I hit her. I pick myself up off the ground and grip my side and glare at Sophia.
"There's also no need to beat up your District partner just because he hit you with a metal container." Sophia looks over my shoulder and nods toward the Cornucopia.
"Look," she says, "All the Careers are teaming up over there. Let's go." She starts at a full run toward the Cornucopia where I see the boy from District Two, Alpha, finish snapping a poor boys neck from District Five. A cannon goes off. I start after her. Soon I meet up with them all. The girl seems to be in charge. She had grabbed a vest of knives that held every kind of throwing knife I could imagine and was wearing it.
"Alright. Quick aquaintances you guys. Then we go plan, and then go and kill." She passes out a dagger to each and every one of us.
"There's enough weapons to supply everyone with whatever the heck they need. There's a tiny bit of food, I guess the Gamemakers expect us to hunt. Anyway, everyone introduce yourselves starting from the lowest District, One." I make a face.
"District One, Alexander. And my District partner, Sophia." I gesture to her and she nods.
"Alpha and Diamond. District Two." says the boy.
A small-ish girl to their right says, "District Three, Khloe."
Sophia makes a disgusted noise. "What?! Since when were we having Three in our pack?"
Diamond rolls her eyes. "Just let her be, she'll die soon enough."
It moves on to the last girl, she still has her teeth, half-filled with the cerulean coloured substance and her hair with strips of blue. I knew she was District Four.
"District Four, Celia." She says. "I've not the slightest idea where my partner went."
Alpha nods and continues where Diamond left off.
"Go get your weapons." Alpha had a mace in his hand and a longbow across his back with a quiver full of arrows. Diamond had her vest full of knives. She twirled her dagger expertly and leaned against the wall taking all the others in. Sophia, took the knives, no surprise there, but then she grabbed a recurve bow and slung a quiver full of arrows onto her back. I went for the gold longbow I had seen in the back and with the quiver full of arrows. I see a pack of shuriken and snatch it up and strap it onto my side. Celia goes for some spears.
Alpha looks around. "Everyone's got their weapons. I've got a notion. I say we take turns guarding the Cornucopia while the others go out to kill. Three is the max. One minimum. For now, two people will guard it. If shit gets real, then we move to three."
Diamond continues. "Me and Alpha will take the first watch." Alpha's head whips around and he gives her a look like: What?!?! She ignores him.
"But now, all of you have got to go and kill."
