Here Again
I can't remember much about my life after the branch hit me full one. But I recall a few emotions the biggest one, betrayal, not that an alliance even existed between anyone and Malice but at one point at the very, very end when she was supposed to lead us to victory we were struck by not only a branch but by betrayal. It wasn't too long before I was told the full story. It was meant to seem like we were dead and Malice was only helping us. The hovercraft was supposedly from the Capitol. Though it seems that Katniss, the leader of the rebels says she needs a Jabber Jay and Mocking bird just in case she doesn't make it. Not literally just as sidekicks sort of thing. She told us all that not many people survive to wars. I feel sorry for everyone who's here again they've all experienced pain by war and now they will feel pain again.
So here I am yet again in a tube which will lead me towards the arena. The cornucopia, it's built there to draw you in, I learnt that from Barbovich my mentor. It's a confusing time back home everyone's on edge not trusting anyone. They don't say but I know it's my fault. Why am I here when I should be cruising at the victors' village? It all happened so fast like lightning Manne Coleman pulling out my name is like someone digging ice through you while you're still alive. To hear that everyone who survived the previous games would be doing it again was like watching friends because that's what they are friends, go through so much pain. I was with the rebels hovercraft long enough to know that Coin had taken back his word. For the games still continuing, I only wish these games would be other. For the opening ceremony I wore a robot costume with the mocking Jay pin spinning on a computer screen which was in my chest. This got the Capitol talking and so the stir had worked. Then for training I got a 8 not too bad I guess just had the element of surprise, I created a mocking Jay bird with the dummies. Easy well I thought, at the capitol I was always on edge, they had so much opportunity to kill me and better yet make it look like an innocent accident. At the interviews we all (Chile, Katnip, Shontelle and Malice) talked of the Mocking Jay and the rebels. We could be possibly scaring snow. Chances are limited though
I'm almost out the tuber now ready to face the arena, not so scared I mean I have survived an arena full of 155 tributes surely this couldn't be any harder. I'm almost fully out of the tube. When I feel hurt maybe it's just the fact that the president wants me dead or the fact that the rebels didn't keep me in, they didn't keep anyone. No rescue mission no help, no nothing really. Once I'm fully out the tube I see our arena. It's a dry mountain range there's one or two forests in range but that's it the rest is mountains. I remember Barbovich said to me the first games "The cornucopia will only drag you in" last year I completely ignored him, so why should this year be any different. There are a few tributes that are pretty good threats. It's probably just the fact that they're Careers and I'm not though I was invited I declined. Though it would be mazing to be a career where does it leave me when everyone else is gone? It leaves me with a spear through my back. We've sort of got a plan but no plan as we found out last year is full proof. The cornucopia was on top of the smallest mountain but still hard to climb. The initial thought hits me will anyone get hold of a weapon or will we have to strangle each other to death. 50 seconds….I wait and see what everyone else does, nothing, 30 seconds …. I look back as if to hope there would be a cornucopia behind me 20 seconds….I realise that the 101st hunger games have almost begun 10….. seconds I feel the ground shaking 5 seconds all tributes are trying to keep on their pads. 4,3,2. It's definitely not a natural earthquake. 1, GO. The earthquake has shaken off the cornucopia the whole golden horn had just slid down roughly and slammed right in front of us. Of course these games were going to be more deadly than the previous ones.
