My Life In The Hunger Games

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The next morning we woke up and Hilary had called for a meeting in the dinning room. " ok everyone! Today is the day and we still need to work out a strategy for winning these games! I propose you stick together, you four can only trust each other!" She called looking intense. " it will work if we stick together four verses one we will win!" Adam told her. " ok that's good you four can stay together, now when you get into the games you will all be in a circle around a pile of weapons and supplies. Now you have two choices you can split up two people go into the bloodbath risking there lives to get weapons and the other two grab some backpacks with supplies in them that will be just in front or behind you which isn't to dangerous. Or you can all turn and run you will all live but you will not have anything to survive on" she explained. "I guess we have to go into this blood bath. I will go!" Adam offered. " I will go with you, you need some help!" Yasmin told him. "So Jake and I will get backpacks then to keep us alive with supplies". "that's good you'll need a meeting point and I saw the arena last night I snuck into a place I shouldn't have its a forest this year, plain grass in the middle where you will start then it's nothing but trees bushes and hills from there. Plenty of room to hide but not too easy to find people to kill, there's only one lake but it's quite big it's on the right side of the arena. Now when your in the middle, somewhere around you you'll see a thick tree, it's not taller than any other tree they are all roughly the same height but you'll recognise it because it's much thicker than the others"Hilary explained. "We will meet there then and go from there" Yasmin called.

After working out the strategy Alisha did all our hair and then we were sent to a plane. Where each area had there own room,  four chairs were provided. As we stepped into this small room with nothing but chairs inside Hilary stepped in. "Alisha will meet you all at the arena. I'm so proud of you all and I know one of you four will win it's one of you and just believe that it is you" she told us as she shut the door. As we set off into the air a lady came into the room and asked for our arms. "Why?" I asked. "It's your tracker so we know where you are" she explained as she put a sharp needle into Yasmin's arm and shot something tiny into her arm. " how does it work?" Adam asked. " basically the microchip will stay in your arm and it is powered by your pulse when you have a pulse it's on and working so we know where you are and that your still alive. When your dead you won't have a pulse therefore the chip stops working and we know your dead" she explained as she pushed the chip into my arm, Adams and then Natasha's before she walked out shutting the door.

Approximately half an hour later we got off the plane and we was in this metal looking room which we was told was under the arena. Before getting off Adam held me back in the room. He grabbed my arm and shut the door quickly as the girls left. "Here I have something for you" he said reaching into his trouser pocket. "What is it?". "It's archery bracelet, I picked it up in the Capitol this morning it's made of real diamonds" he said showing me this beautiful small diamond bracelet which was a circle with a bow and arrow in the middle of it, joined to it was a diamond chain, it looked stunning. "Adam I can't accept this it must have cost a fortune?" I said holding the bracelet. "It was free the guy is a Hunger games fan and did it for free". "You went to a jeweler for this?". "Yes I did, I thought you might like it". "It's amazing thank you" I said giving him a hug as I put it in my pocket.

All forty eight tributes walked in a line into a corridor where all of our names were on a door. We had to walk into the one that had our name on it. I walked into mine and all I saw was a couple of clothes on a hanger, a glass tube and a blue chair. I was shaking like a leaf. But I knew if I didn't do this I would be killed anyway, it sounds silly but I have a better chance of living in the games. I looked at the clothes provided, I had to where a white plain t shirt, black skinny jeans, black boots and a black jacket with my name on the back and my area in white writing. I changed into my new outfit putting my bracelet on my wrist under my jacket, whilst tears rolled down my face. As I changed every minute a lady told me how many minutes I had left she said I only had one minute remaining. But Alisha came to my rescue as she walked into my room I broke down in tears. She rushed over and hugged me. "Hey! Hey! I believe in you, if I could bet on anyone to win this it's you, your stronger than you think!" She told me. "I'm not strong at all" I said while crying. "You are believe me I've seen you shoot arrows your amazing! Just stick to the plan!". "I know, I know I will". " ok now wipe those tears" she told me as she let go. As I wiped them she looked at my Bracelet. "What's this?" She asked. "30 seconds" the lady announced. "It was a gift from Adam, he got it made for me". "It's beautiful but keep that quiet don't let anyone see it" she told me as she zipped up my jacket. "Ok I won't". "Ten seconds". "I can't do this!" I said panicking. "Jake! Listen you can win this! Just believe you can!" She told me. Alisha gave me one more tight hug and she let me go and walked me slowly to the tube. I was late getting in but I don't think anyone minded. As I stepped in my heart pounded it almost jumped out of my body when the tube door shut and I started to move up the tube. Alisha waved bye and watched me go.
