Coming out of the cave I allow myself a bow, knowing that the people in the capitol will absolutely love it. I was the underdog, the tiny little innocent girl from district eleven. That girl though, she died when the games first started. Stopping to listen to the forest sounds I hear the rushing sound of water coming from my right. I head in that direction knowing that where water is plentiful so are aquatic plants. With that last thought my stomach growls and I realize I haven't eaten in days, not good. Paving a path to the sound of the water I notice many edible plants on my way and eat hungrily, my body craving the nutrition. After Mouthful and mouthful of hard rubbery plants it dawned on me what my stomach really wanted. Meat.
Arriving at the stream I see huge bass swimming lazily around at the mouth of the waterfall right before it tumbles over the edge. Remembering the knife I took from Clove I go to swing off my little bag and realize its not there. Great. Just great. Now i'm out here with nothing but these damn fish that keep taunting me. Feeling determined I grab a stick and whittle the end on a rock until I have a terrible makeshift spear. Then I wade into the water which barely reaches my belly button. Aiming for the fish I come up empty handed miss after miss. The frustration building up inside me and I let loose a snarl abandoning my spear and jumping headfirst into the water hands outstretched and yes! I have it! Writhing in my hands is a fish the size of my forearm. I swim back to shore soaked from head to toe when I hear a voice. "You killed him didn't you?" Comes a accusing voice from behind me."I did" I reply calmly. I spin around to face my opponent, Glimmer. She stood holding a spear and chuckled "who would have thought that you of all people would have done him in?" Shaking her head from side to side her body quaked with laughter. My fury was building what did she mean? Was this supposed to be some insult because I was the smallest? I would show her. Glimmer slowly starts towards me spear pointed outwards. Watching her advance I turn on my heel and run as fast as possible into the forest while still holding on to my fish. Panting I jump behind a tree and hear Glimmer burst through the brush. "You can't hide forever little girl." She whispers talking to me as if i'm a baby. As Glimmer slowly approaches the other side of my tree I jump out and sidestepping quickly I kick the spear from her grasp. Before she can react I grab my fish by the tail and swing it around smacking her upside the head with it. a shriek looses from her lips as she fumbles trying to regain a grip on the spear. Casually kicking aside her spear I swing the fish and once again smack her upside the head with it. Her eyes roll backwards into her head as she falls to her knees. This hardly matters to me because my adrenaline is pumping as I continue to swing the fish hearing the sweet smack as it connects with Glimmers face. Smacking this tribute with my fish seems to bring me a sick sense of joy. Grabbing the t-shirt material by her neck I pull her upwards and slam her down hearing the cracking of her neck. A cannon booms and I stand up blowing fake kisses to the capital. Flipping over Glimmer with my foot I see she's wearing a backpack, I immediately grab this treasure and start to examine the contents.
