Its insane how all of the careers are gone on day 2. Thats never happened before. I counted, and theres only 8 of us left, including Jack and Beckham of course. Nothing has happened on days 3 and 4, and me and Beckham are really fucking hungry right now. With help from Beckham, I know that theres, me, Jack, Beckham, the District 9 female, the District 8 female, Codie (district 11 male), Gray,and Aspen. I really don't want to risk fighting or going to the cornucopia, even though we need supplies. Maybe if we find Jack, he can help us. But we can't just be piggy-back riding off of other tribute's supplies. Me and Beckham go for a couple of hours while scavenging for stuff until we run into the girl from 8. I don't really know her, so if we have to kill her, it won't be a problem. However, Beckham does know her, and it'll be hard to killer her, so I may have to. She notices us, and tries to run away, until we all see a group of turtles. I know what these are, and they can snap your hand off if they wanted to. However, their shells are blue for some reason. They're very close the the girl, and they spit something red at her, which causes her to collapse and do a seizer. Me and Beckham run away, but something was also weird. They turtles were much faster than a normal one would be. Of course the Gamemakers would do that. However, they can't catch up to us.
The cannon fires. I do a sharp turn and snatch her bag up and her sickle for later use. I think my mentors lied. If we were in trouble, they'd send a sponsor, but they haven't so far, which pisses me off. I figured that Beckham's mentor would be Rummage Lorman, as theres no other victor from 12 yet. Ive only seen the guy on tv once, which was for an interview by Gaius. By this time, we've lost the creatures, so we check the bag, and to my suprise, she has quite a stash. She has water, crackers, and an apple. I clean my knife and I cut the apple in half for me and Beckham to eat. we save the other stuff for later, while me and Beckham also drink some water. We put that away for later, as now he have a good amount of supplies. Since the careers are dead, the tributes from 7 are now the biggest threat. We both try to find the others for what seemed like an eternity, but theres no sign of luck, even though I hear sounds in the swamp behind us all of the time, making me feel like theres another undiscovered mutt, or someone trying to taunt us. I don't know, but when I look in the sky to see the deaths for the tributes today, only the girl we killed comes up, and its done. Me and Beckham try to get some sleep after a frustrating day.
