The Third Arena

The Arena

Raymeir puts me in a completely different suit for the arena.
He puts me in a white skin tight, zip up top. It has a forcefield pattern in it. Strange.
Then green spandex pants. It's a camouflage green.I run my finger over the texture.
Slick.
He clips my mockingjay pin on my shirt.
Then slips on a black/grey jacket. It'll probably be cold for this many layers.
I hug him. We stand in silence. He knows that words can't comfort me. Its basically saying 'it's okay, I know your about to die but it's okay'.
A Peacekeeper walks in.
"Time to go" he says in a strict voice.
Raymeir waves to me and the Peacekeeper ushers me out.
He leads me to a boarding hovercraft.
As I walk on I see Peeta.
I am sat down. Peeta is sat next to me.
Our hands find each other. I hold onto Peeta's hand tightly. I don't want to let go. I see Blossom and William sizing us. They are pretty large people. I don't mean fat, just well built. They aren't even careers.
My train of thought is interrupted by a woman with blue hair and powder blue skin.
"Arm please"
She puts the device that puts in the tracker to my forearm. I wince as she presses it in. She takes Peeta's arm and puts it in the same place.
I look at Peeta. He looks deep in thought.
"Peeta?"
"Yes?"
"If I die in th-"
"Don't say that Katniss, you are coming out"
"But if I don't"
"You will"
"Peeta, just know I love you."
I feel a jolt and I know the craft has landed. Peacekeepers usher us out one by one. One grabs my arm and pulls me out. It hurts, but I'm not going to get whipped right before the Hunger Games.
We go into a building and on the wall there is a line of tubes. Each of them has a number above it. 1-12
Each district.
I am put into my tube. I feel myself moving upward. When I can no longer feel the tube around me, I still can't see. But I hear someone's voice come onto the intercom.
Shoot. It's dark. My eyes slowly adjust. I can make out each tribute and I see the cornucopia.
"The 76th Hunger Games will begin in 30 second. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor".
"30,29,28,27,26.."
The supplies are scattered about. In piles near the Cornucopia.
"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3.."
I get ready to run.
"One"
I sprint towards the Cornucopia, I manage to get one book bag and a metal parcel.
I'm about to run when I see somebody with the bow and arrows.
I don't have any weapons, do hand to hand combat is my only option.
I run up, its Shauna. She turns around.
"Here" She hands me the bow.
I run, with my bags and bow. I hear two cannons go off. I see trees, so I run towards them. Woods. I am about to keep running but I trip. I fall down and land on the ground face first. I feel a sharp pain in my arm. I see a rock lodged in my lower right arm. I pull it out and keep running. I keep running for what seems like thirty minutes.
I rest my back on a tree. I hear another cannon.
Peeta, where are you?
