As i perch silently in the lanky oak tree, i slyly watch the career pack below me as they scamper around the forest looking for a good place to rest as the night settles in. it had been a daunting day, with fireballs and rocks getting flung at me from every direction leaving me with hot burn marks and tarnished skin. my lungs still hadn't stopped burning from the smoke that seemed to linger on everything that surrounded me. although i needed water to cool off my burns, i knew exactly what the gamemakers had planned, they needed a show, and what better way to do that then by drawing the girl on fire into where the careers are for a hope to see at least someone killed. with my lungs still burning and my thigh still aching, i decide to close my eyes and slowly, but painfully fall asleep. The blinding sun beams through my eyelids, i can hear birds singing and trees swaying but no voices, my immediate reaction is that the careers have fallen asleep, but as i peer down through the thick leaves there is no sign of anyone anywhere which at this point in the games is very odd. i make sure everything is clear before i slip down the trunk and place my feet steadly on the forest floor. I know i cant go back to my old water sorce because nothings left, so i turn and head off in the opposite direction to a nearby stream that i recently passed during my frantic evacuation yesterday. i walk warily through the dense forest that reminds me so much of the one back home, it sends me into a trail of thoughts and i dont even realise that im being closely followed. As i make my way down to the stream, i replenish my water bottle and throughtly clean and investigate my burns. i sit there for a while and think about my family while my leg settles down, after about an hour and several attemps i fianally am able to stand up and hobble over to a little rock cave which has enough shelter for me to stay warm, hidden and to stay out of the weather. night falls fast and there is no problem with it doing so, i immediately fall asleep as soon as the anthem is over and i dont wake up till the next afternoon . as soon as i wake up my leg feels immediatly better, the water i poured on my leg must've cleaned out the bugs because there is a noticable difference in how my thigh looks and feels, but has not healed enough to go out hunting again, so i grab my backpack and eat some roots i gathered the other day. two days pass and my leg has pretty much healed completely, so i decide to try and walk to the nearest tree, as i approach the tree my heart stops as i hear voices coming straight for me, as i make a start on climbing the tree, a knife sinks into the shredded bark right above my head, i hear laughter and shrieks coming from below me, its the career pack, they've found me again and this time i think to myself that its really over, before i can get my arrow out and aim for the other tribites, they've got me, cato's knife sinks into my back and as my arms let go of the small branches my last thought is, sorry prim im not comimg home.
