I ran through the forest. Fear was running through my veins. Was anyone following me? Why did this have to be the year the boy career tributes couldn't do this? Why? Why did I have to be chosen? There was only one way out of the games. I have never wanted anything to do with the stupid games! Why? Why did I have to be the one? I finally stopped not that far from the carrer tributes. They were whispering. Could I steal a weapon and try to survive? No. I didn't want to survive. There had to be some way. Some way for me to tell the people of The Capital, and my disrect that we were not slaves! I got an idea! I looked up in the trees, and jumped back in fright. Luckly the careers didn't notice. In the trees was the girl from district 11. Rue. Just as quickly as she appeared she disappeared. Then I decided to put my plan into action. I grabbed the nearest things near me when the games started. I opened the small bag I grabbed. I then pulled out...a small knife. About five or maybe even four inches long. It would have to do. The thing I was best at was, is setting traps. Maybe before I did my plan...yes! I carefully put a trap into action and waited. I put anouther thing from the bag as bait. It happened to be a surprisenly cake. Don't ask me about it? I left the bait, and climbed a tree. Soon Marvel came along. He noticed the cake, and he grabbed for it eagerly. BAM! A huge shot and a rock dropped from above. It hit Marvel and he was knocked out. I smiled then slowly made my way down. I studied what I had done. A huge lump, easily hidden. I stole from his pack. It was a water skin. I climbed the trees in search of Rue. The day was almost over when I found her. She started to run, but then I shouted. "Wait!" I threw the water skin at her. She grabbed it. "Use it" I told her then I ran off. Deep in the woods. I knew that I could get in trouble for that. If I lived. Which I wasn't going to do. I smiled as I took the knife in my hand. Then I closed my eyes, and stabbed myself in the heart. I smiled ignoring the pain. "Riot" I whispered, and then. Everything went black. I saw Rue up in the tree. Her eyes wide with horror.
