We've been walking for about an hour and already the sun is starting to set we decide to circle around the area to hopefully find a water source or a tribute.
"So what's district 1 like?" I ask Glint

"Well everyone thinks we sit around polishing jewels all day but you shouldn't always believe what you see on tv, we still are treated like every other district, just because I'm  from the luxury district doesn't mean I have the perfect life you know?"

I know exactly what she means, the other districts say we are the capitols lapdogs but honestly we are treated like everyone else. In fact districts 1,2 and mine (district 4) are brainwashed into thinking it's a chance at being rich and having a good life away from work. But really we are just robots born to kill for the capitols entertainment. No emotion, no expression, no excuse or reason, just born to kill or die.

"Yeah I know what you mean I think that-"

"Oi stick to killing people let's whine some other time"

Glint and I share a look and death stare Adam. Glint is just about to go off at him but Jane chimes in...

"Ugh I can't deal with you, your always talking about killing people from the "less liked" districts, can we still appreciate that it's human life we are taking?"

"Says you, your the one that killed the star crossed siblings from district 8"

"You think I wanted to kill them? No"

"You had a choice not to though"

"Id rather them than me"

"CUT IT OUT BOTH OF YOU" Breck screams.

I almost drop my knife but I cling onto it for dear life Incase it might chase off a tribute in a 20 meter radius. Wait don't worry I think Breck has done a good enough job of that.  We set up one big tent and munch on some crackers and cheese. Just then we hear the anthem play outside.

"I'll go and see" volunteers Alyx

He comes back in and sits down and starts to eat again.

"Well?" Asks Glint
"Who's gone?"

"The girl from 3, the boy from 5, the girl from 6, the boy from 7, both from 8, the girl from 9 and the boy from 12" he says.

"Ugh theres soo much to do" whines Jane.

"I say we go hunting" Breck says

"Yeahh -nah we might get a chakram in the back from that girl from 7" says Alyx

"Or an arrow in the knee from the girl from 5" jokes Adam

"ORRR a dart in the neck by district 11s girl" I exclaim

......

"I don't know about you guys but I'm going to hit the sack" says Adam yawning.

The rest of us nod and jump into our sleeping bags aswell.

It takes me about 1 hour to drift off.
But feels like 2 seconds because I'm thinking about Frostine with her cute side ponytail and the flickers of fear that I might die in this arena. Which brings me to another though

"If I do die, how will I go?"

I start thinking about all of the possibilities. Most of them involve the rest of the careers betraying me.

That's when I slip off into everlasting sleep.....
