"What are all these?" I whisper. I turn around and look at Rue sitting on the ground watching in horror as Thresh and Peeta start to choke each other. I walk over to where they are fighting and watch.

"HEY! Stop fighting and pull it together!" I yell at them both. I pull them apart and force them to the ground.

"He started it!" Peeta yells pointing at Thresh.

"Yeah well I really don't ca-" I freeze where I am. "Get in the crate." I say pushing Rue, Thresh, and Peeta towards the crate.

"Why? What's wrong?" Rue asks worried.

"Trust me." I push them all in and seal the top on. I gently push it over and get knocked to the ground. I get up and see the other remaning tributes running away. I get up and turn around and see the arena flooding with water. When it hits me I am pushed backwards but I'm still holding onto the crate. I push I up to the surface and I re-open the crate.

"What's going on?" Peeta asks me.

"The arena's flooding. Can any of you swim?" I ask. They all nod no. I sigh and motion for them all to stay where they are. I dive under water and look for a certain leaf. I spot it and I grab several of them. I start to float up and when I reach the top I give two to Peeta, Thresh, and Rue. They attach them to themselves and I give them a thumbs up.

"Is the water drink able?" Peeta asks.

"Yes. So, we'll need to find some food first. For now, stay in here. Thresh, Peeta, don't kill each other." I say. I glance over at Thresh and Peeta and smile. I feel a tugging at my foot and I look down. I see a blurred figure. It's not a mutt. I am pull underwater and I see the figure more clearly. It's Cato. Not this guy again. He aims for my head but the water slows him down. I swim down deeper and see a bright glow. I swim towards it more and pick it up. It's a blue square. Sorta like gum. I feel myself loosing conscienceness and I have to think fast. Cato is swimming towards me. I'm running out of oxygen. I quickly put the gum-like object in my mouth and start chewing it. I feel it sink into my mouth and it goes under my flesh. Then I'm fine. I look at my hands. Normal. Feet. Normal. Everythings normal. I look up and see Cato approaching me. I grab more of these strange gum-like objects and swim up. I'm faster. When I reach the top I hand everyone one.

"Eat it. Trust me." I say. They all put it into their mouth and make a chocking sound. I flip the crate and pour them all into the water. I hear several cannons. All in all, It's just Thresh, Rue, Peeta, and someone else. I dive into the water and see it's Cato. No surprise there. I try to figure out what to do and it comes to mind. I swim into the underwater forest and gather some leaves of the giant leaves from before and find a giant rock. I set the rock on top of the giant leaves I haul it back to where the others are. I swim quickly over cato and drop the leaves and rock. I collapses on top of Cato and he falls into the deep. A cannon goes off. Then guts, limbs, oragans, blood, body parts come floating up. I feel the water lowering. Soon we're on the ground, moist but not underwater. I look over at the other remaining tributes and frown. Only one of us can go home.

"Now what?" Rue asks.

"I don't know." Peeta says. Thresh grunts.

"Well, if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna make it totally awesome. Now, who wants to help me?" I say a bit to enthusiastically.

"How can you think about death? Arianna, if anyone should come out alive it should be you." Peeta says. Thresh and Rue nod in agreement.

"Well then what do you expect me to come back to? I have no family, no friends, nothing! Peeta, you were my only friend and if I'm going back you're coming with me! Your choice!" I yell. I stomp away and kick down a tree. I sit on the stump and put my head in my hands. Peeta comes over and sits down next to me. He rubs my back and pulls me into a hug.

"Only one can come out. You deserve it the most." Peeta whispers to me. We hear two cannons go off and we turn around. Thresh and Rue are lying on the ground in puddles of blood. I run over to them and feel myself ready to burst into tears.

"As I said, only one can come out." Peeta says. I turn around and see Peeta has a sad look on his face.

"Well, as I said, I'm not coming out without you."I say. I let myself burst into tears and Peeta wraps his arms around me.

"Arianna, I love you. You know that. I could never kill you." Peeta says.

"Yeah, I know. Hey, Peeta, what happened to your bad other side where you wanted to kill me?" I ask cautiously.

"What bad side? I almost KILLED you?" Peeta asks in shock. "Stupid, stupid, stupid." Peeta mumbles while smacking his head.

"Well, that's the past. You wanna finish this whole thing?" I ask Peeta grabbing his hand.

"Sure, but what are we going to do?" he asks me.

"We're going to die." I say. "No biggy. You know, it's just death. Sure it's painful, but you'll get over it. WE would of died anyways, so no biggy." I say casually. Peeta bursts out laughing.

"What did I do?" I ask.

"Well, for starters, you can take anything that the average human would be worried about and make it sound like it's no big deal. You can convince anyone to do anything." Peeta says.

"And how is that funny?"

"It's how you said it." he answers.

"Well okay then. Should we just jab a knife into our hearts or what? A knife to the brain?" I ask.

"Let's do heart." I nod my head and raise a knife to my chest.

"On three. One," I say.

"Two,"

"Three." I bring the knife to my chest but a booming voice fills the air. I drop my knife.

"Congratulations to the winners of the 74th annual Hunger Games!" the voice says.

"Hey! Can you be quiet? We're trying to stab ourselves here!" I yell while picking up my knife. I see two ladders come down and Peeta walks towards one.

"We can go home now! Come on Arianna!" Peeta says excitedly. I stay where I am. I see a giant claw come down. It grabs me and I drop my knife. It cuts open my leg from waist to ankle. I start to bleed rapidly. I thrash around trying to free myself so I can heal my leg. I start seeing spots and start to black out. I am lifted into the hover craft and see Peeta being worked on. I fall to the ground hoping to die. Then I black out.
