"Get up!" Somebody screams in my ear. On instinct, I pull my arm back and punch them. I hear Nico curse under his breath.

"Sorry, but don't do that." I say with a smirk. I hear Annabeth yell in excitement.

"What's up?" Nico calls.

"There snow higher up on the mountain!" Annabeth says.

"And melted snow is water!" Nico and I yell at the same time. We run up to meet Annabeth and Percy, delayed for a moment when I run back down to get my canteen. We fill the canteen up with snow, and tuck it into the sleeping bags to heat it up.

"Now for food." Percy says. His sentence was like a queue to my stomach, making me realize I was hungry. I grab an orange and apple slice, and nibble on them slowly, because I know I have to make them last. We decide to take a walk down the mountain, and look for animals to hunt. We walk into a forest-y area, when I spot a deer.

"Hey, guys." I whisper, poking Nico in the shoulder. I aim my spear carefully, because I don't want the deer to suffer. With a flick of my wrist, the spear hits it's mark. With some difficulty, Percy carries the deer up the mountain, and we gather sticks to start a fire. We don't eat a lot because, we don't know how long the Games will last.

We here a cannon fire.

"1 down." Percy says.

"9 to go" Annabeth finishes. For a while, we just sit and talk, when we hear voices. I creep to the edge of the ridge, and see three Careers.

"I'm gonna get that Jackson kid for not joining us." The biggest growls.

"Hey, look!" A girl- from district 1, I think- points towards the campsite. That cant be good.

"Guys!" I say, running over to them. "We have to move camp. Right now!"

"Why?" Nico asks, but he starts to pack up the sleeping bags.

"It's his fault." I say, pointing to Percy.

"What did I do?" He asks, putting the food into the backpacks.

"The Careers are mad that you didn't join them, so they sent three to come get us, mainly you." I say, rolling away the logs from the fire, and putting dirt over the ashes.

"Okay, I think we cleared up everything." Annabeth puts the canteens into the other backpack. Percy and I grab the backpacks, and Annabeth and Nico get the weapons. We walk for a while, stopping occasionally to look behind us. We finally decide to stop and camp in a cave.

"Wait." Annabeth whispers, and creeps into the cave. "There's no one in here, but I think it's where the Careers are." I walk in and see a pile of food, water, and weapons. Sleeping bags and fruit wrappers litter the floor. I pick up a backpack, and find bandages, and a bow and arrow.

"I call this."I say, slinging it and the sheath of arrows on my back.

"Mine." Nico admires a sword.

"Water!" Percy stuffs almost every canteen into his bag.

"He got his wish." Annabeth rolls her eyes, gather fruit packs.

"Alright guys, we should get out of here." I say.

"Who made you leader?" Percy questions.

"I did."

We decide to resettle in a clearing of trees, their branches hang low, forming a kind of wall. We lay out the sleeping bags in a square, so each direction is guarded. We make a fire pit in the middle, putting our food, water and weapons next to it. I chew my dinner of deer leg, an orange slice, and careful sips of water.

"Hey guys?" I ask, having in idea.

"Yeah?" Nico asks.

"Tomorrow for breakfast, let me prepare it."

"Okay…"
