I jumped off my platform as soon as the games started and ran towards the ice. A lot of the careers where too heavy, which gave me a slight advantage. When I reached the ice I jumped onto my stomach and slid as fast as I could towards the cornucopia. there it was, an iron sword, perfect for me. I grabbed it as I slid to the centre. in the cornucopia I grabbed a backpack and a sleeping bag. my heart was beating fast. This was incredibly risky. I turned around and realised that only a few tributes were coming to the cornucopia. I felt glad to see nico was one of them, and that the careers were running into the forest. I guess the careers might not win this year. I was running to the forest to find shelter when I noticed Mateo. He was running towards the careers holding an assortment of different weapons. What was he doing? Suddenly the first cannon boomed. I had to get out of here. I ran as fast as I could into the snowy forest at top speed. my heart pounded and my lungs burned, but I had to get away, or I was dead meat.
I kept running until I was sure I had gotten away. I then collapsed into the snow. I was so thirsty. Hoping I would have water in my backpack I opened it up. My heart sank. Inside was sunscreen, a bikini, and sunglasses. perfect. I chucked them out and checked to see if there was anything else. I found nothing except a plastic container. Although the container was ok, the backpack had been a waste of time. The sleeping bag however was great. It was soooo warm, and could be easily carried in the backpack (ok, so it wasn't a waste of time). But I still needed water. The lakes and ponds were frozen over and I couldn't even see one of those. Then it hit me. Snow. I picked up a bit and ate it. It was perfect. Another cannon sounded. I had to move. I trudged to a perfect spot to spend the night. It was a small cave-like thing hidden by trees. I squeezed in and lay down my sleeping bag, but not before watching to see who had died today. The only 2 dead tributes were the boy from district 5 and the girl from district 11. I snuggled into my sleeping bag and closed my eyes. A cannon sounded. This was going to be a long night.
