I climbed, high into the trees. I escaped Marvel... For now.
I don't want to be here, well, nobody really does but I want to get out of here more than others. I provide for my 3 younger sisters and 2 younger brothers. My father was killed in a riot that the Capitol covered up by giving us free rations for a week to shut us up. I'm surprised that worked. But most sadly my mother was taken by the Capitol, they made her into an Avox. Mum tried to help a tribute escape and was whipped. The cuts were deep. They covered the whole of her back. Infection spread and she was dead within 24 hrs of her torture.
I hear footsteps. Multiple tributes were approaching.... The careers!! I pushed my back into the tree, hoping that the tree would swallow me... Taking me far,far away. I stopped breathing, praying that they would not see me. They walked straight past me..... But Clove turned around. She insisted that they sleep under the tree that I was in... Did she see me? Was she waiting for me to fall into a deep slumber so she could manoeuvre her way up into the towering canopy and slaughter me? Only time would tell...
I wince in pain. A massive bushfire surrounded me earlier. I made sure Katniss escaped. I stayed a safe distance away but threw rocks at her making sure she noticed the fire. She sprang to her feet and sprinted away. I however suffered massive burns to my right leg. I found a special herb which cures pain, but the natural antidote has worn off. The pain kills. I'm surprised that I'm not screaming right now. I haven't spoken a word since I entered the training room. Only thresh knows my name. He said he wouldn't hurt me. I stood up for Rue when the Careers decide to freak out her and the tribute boy from district 4. Him and Rue are the youngest tributes this games. I pushed Glimmer out of their faces and she promised me I'd regret it later. I guess I will.
I hear a noise, from up above me... I grab my knife and look up. There is a sponsors parachute. I grab the container. There's a note on the medicine case. It reads "Apply generously. Don't eat berries". I know this was from my mentor Clam. She won the 70th games. 4 years ago. She won by tricking the other tributes.
She told me to play it smart, keep any thing I find that may help. So far I have a parachute pack, a collection of poisonous berries, a parachute pack note, a piece of charcoal and some editable mint leaves. I think long and hard. Is there anything I could do with this obscure collection? It then hits me! I take the burn heal medicine out of the parachute pack. I fill the container with my collection of multi-coloured poisonous berries and mint leaves. Hoping that the Careers would think its a fruit salad from one of their many sponsors giving them a nutritious breakfast, but little do they know it's a trap. I take my sponsors note and fold it in half. Taking the charcoal and writing in my neatest writing... "You've made it far! Well done! Have some nutrition" I tuck the note into the side. I close the parachute pack and, pray that all goes well.
I wake up from my slumber the birds are singing. I take a deep breath a drop the parachute. It lands on Glimmers stomach. In my opinion she is way too stupid to look up and see where it came from. Cato awakes. His sudden movements wake Clove which startles Glimmer who has slapped Marvel from the shock. Clove curses at Cato and opens the pack. She reads the note. Marvel snatches the "fruit salad" and shoves a handful of berries in his mouth. The mint leaves slow the poisons effects. Cato gets the last handful of berries.... The worst of them all... The night locks. Cato falls back. Clove and Glimmer straight by his side to make sure he is okay. Glimmer proclaims her love for Cato and dies. It's practical ya dog pile. Cato on the bottom and Glimmer on top. Clove turns to Marvel. She curses and screams how she knew all along that he couldn't be trusted and stabs him. Without hesitation just stabs him in the heart. Clove stands and walks a few steps and loses her balance. She hits her head on a rock and doesn't flinch afterwards. A hovercraft appears overhead. The robotic claws come down and scooped up Cato, Clove, Glimmer and Marvel. They're gone. Their cannons fire. One by one. My job is done. I move. I'm heading for higher ground . Three of us left... Katniss, Peeta and I. I will win. I will go home. I will see my family again!
"Foxface! Duck!!"
