This is the day I've just been hoping will never come. I will enter the games with Cato. I can never kill Cato. I love him way to much to kill him. And I know we literally just got together yesterday but I already love him.

I wake up early. Do my normal morning routine but shaking.

The games start at 2:00pm. It's 10:00am. That still leaves me some time.

I go to breakfast shaking.

"Nervous?" Cato asked.

I nod my head. He hugs me.

"It's going to be okay, trust me!" Cato said.

There is still a chance I can die today. I bet Glimmer wants to rip my throat out because Cato likes me and not her. I bet she will be all over Cato today trying to change his mind but I have a feeling that won't happen. I'm sure however though Willow is back at home thinking I'm trading her for Cato and Kate is up in the afterlife telling me it's not good to be in love in the games. I'm sure Cesar thinks that everyone will use it against us. I'm positive that my mother is at home praying I'll survive the games. I also have a feeling Snow will think I'm just using Cato for sponsors, like Glimmer was. But I'm not. He can ask Steph for proof.

We eat breakfast with Enobaria and Brutus giving us last tips of advice.

That lasted till 12:00.

Now it's when we start to get ready.

Steph does my hair in a ponytail with honestly yo many hair ties but it will be great to hold knives in it. I have brown cargo pants on, with a red t- shirt and a brownish- red jacket. This took around 30 mins. The last 20 minutes before we have to leave. I was praying that I'll survive. I want to make it home to Willow and my mother. Kate is gone and so is dad. I have to be there for Willow. If I die, my mother wouldn't know what to do with her.

After we were boarding the hovercraft to take us to the arena. I'm hoping for a forest arena. I don't want a desert and water would be nice but to much would be awful. One of the Capitol ladies inject a tracker in my arm. It stings for a few seconds but it went away.

I look over and Cato is sitting right across from me. I give him a smile and he smiles back.

I look to my right and Katniss Everdeen is sitting beside me. She apparently was just spinning around in her dress at the interviews last night. She can literally make me barf.

On the way to the arena, I was going over my game plan. Grab all the knives, watch my back, kill Katniss, win with Cato. Simple right, well not for long. The game makers will be trying to get us out a long the way. I have a feeling they will make these games harder. But next year is the Quarter Quell, those games are the most tough. They always have a twist to those games. Next year is the 75th hunger games.

Anyways, after the ride to the arena, we were taken to these small rooms, with our personal stylists in them. Steph was there. I gave her one last hug. As a thank you and hopefully see you soon. There was one minute until we had to get in these tubes. They made me claustrophobic by looking at them.

"30 seconds till launch." The woman said.

I looked at Steph with fear. She nodded. I nodded back and stepped into the tube. I looked at her and she blew me a kiss, I caught it and brought it to my heart. Already I don't want to be in these games but it is what it is.

I am lifted into the arena. It's a forest, with a big field, with a lake and the plains. I look around and see the other tributes. Finch is on my right and Marvel on my left. Cato is across the field. Oh do I wish I could run up to him but I'll just blow myself up.

One minute we have to stand on these little podiums. This is not making anything better.

I look around at the weapons to find the knives. I see a vest with about 35 knives. I look at my feet and they are already in the position to run for them. I am a really fast runner so I'm not worried.

"30 seconds." A mans voice is projected over the entire arena.

I look at Cato and he is looking at me. Oh he looks so handsome up there. I blow him and kiss and he does the same.

The countdown from 20 seconds is on.

They kept counting down.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,"

A huge gong rings. I sprit to the vest and got it on before any tribute made it to the actual Cornucopia. I grab at least 3 knives just in case. The male tribute from seven comes running up to me. I throw a knife at him and he falls to the ground. Dead. My first kill.

Then I run around and see the boy from district 9, I throw knife into his back and he falls on the ground dead. Then I realize that Katniss was right behind him, I throw a knife at her but she dodged it with her backpack. I run after her but Cato stops me, we head back to the cornucopia. This actually isn't as bad as I thought.

After 10 minutes we grab the remaining weapons and back packs. We run into the bushes and run into Peeta.

I was ready to throw a knife until he screamed.

"Stop!" He yells.

"Why?" Glimmer asks.

She is so stupid, this could've been a perfect chance to kill.

"I can help you," He says.

I don't belive him.

"How?" Azora asks.

"I can help you find Katniss!" He yells.

I will accept this chance.

"How?" Cato asks.

"Her and I both arrenged on day 4 that we would meet up somewheres!" He said.

"Okay fine, but one wrong move and you're dead!" Cato says.

Peeta nods and we contuine walking. I can almost hear Brutus in my head screaming at me for not killing him when I had the chance too.

We walk for hours and couldn't find anyone. We eventually call it a day and go to sleep. Just as Cato sits down, Glimmer sits down right beside him. Like really close to him. Words can't say how much I want to stab her right now.

"Hi Cato," she says very flirty.

"Get away from me Glimmer!" Cato says.

That shocks me, but what even shocks me more is he sits down beside me. Really close. Glimmer shoots me a death glare. I am for sure going on watch tonight. I don't want a knife in my back.

When we finally all decide to go to sleep, Cato sleeps right beside me. I can't help but cuddle up against him.
