I wake the next morning to see blue skies and the sun beaming down right over me. I sit up and rub the sleep from my eyes. Must be around mid-day telling from the sun's position. I climb out of the sleeping bag and stand up before looking around and stretching my arms.

Another cannon went off last night. Woke me up from a horrible dream. I dreamt that I got chased by the two seven kids and thy chased me through a wood. Suddenly the trees started falling. They came crashing down all around me. I closed my eyes and waited for them to stop falling. Once I open them I turn to the two seven kids and realise something horrible. Standing in their positions were giant dog mutts.

I try to move but I'm paralyzed out of fear. The mutts come closer and closer until there breathing right down my neck. The mutts stood on their back legs like a creature that people use to talk about before the ark age…what were they called. That's it ware wolves.

The girl one raises her claw and she brings it down across my chest. I tried to cry out in pain but I just couldn't. Then the male does the same. They start taking turns at tearing me apart. I open my mouth but no cries come out.

They then stopped and turned, I followed there gaze. My eyes widened when I noticed my sister Kal standing there. Her light blonde hair blowing in the wind. Her face was emotionless, like she had no soul. The wolf mutts walked over and as they went to pounce on her in woke up from the cannon.

After falling asleep again I didn't dream. I was too scared to.

I roll my sleeping bag back up and place it in the bag before swinging the bag over my shoulder. Time to find some water and food. I left through the little door that led to the roof. On my way I picked up the blood stained hammer.

On my way down I didn't notice the rooms around the house. They were all empty though so I ignore them all and leave through the front door.


It's been around and hour since I left the house. I had been like a spy, dodging around buildings and jumping in bushes at the slightest noise. I have just dived in bush when I heard footsteps from the next street over.

I tighten my grip on the hammer and listen as the voice come closer. It's the careers, there the only ones who have the guts to walk around carelessly. I stay hidden and watch as they walk on by.

Once I know for certain they had gone I jump out the bush and look in the direction they went. I spot them about fifteen houses down. I look ahead and my eyes widen and a smile grows on my face at the sight. There is a giant park on the other side of the building facing me.

I don't think, I just run forward, not taking any notice if the careers hear me. I reach the other side of the street and run into the field. The grass was covered in frost and the trees were leaf less. My ears perk up and I hear running water.

I run in the direction and stop dead in my tracks when I notice the scene in front of me. The small twelve year old girl from nine was getting attacked by the brute from four. I look at her face, it's full of horror. She reminds me of Kal.

I look to the boy, he has a sword in his hand. Before I know it I'm running forward, my hammer held up above my head. The boy turns and see me. He smiles before running forward. We clash our weapons together before withdrawing them.

I turn to the girl, "Run" I shout. She doesn't hesitate, she runs and I'm left with the guy from four, "Trying to kill an innocent girl" I say.

"Innocent, nobody is innocent in here. Were all out to win it and the only way to do that is to kill" he replied. He doesn't have any hair, he is bald with a scar running across the side and his eyes are, what seem to be black, "I know you have already killed. I watched as you caved the girl from sevens head in and after, doing the same to the boy".

We start circling each other. I can picture the two from seven, all the blood that covered me. I feel my stomach churning but I need to be strong. I had to kill them or it would have been me, "Like you said 'Were all in it to win it and the only way to do that is to kill' so goodbye" I take another swing but he dodges, only by a little.

He grunts in anger and lunges forward with the sword. I easily dodge to the side. I don't know what's come over me, it has to be the games. They have changed me and not for the good.

"You will have to try harder than that" I said before smiling. He grunts again and swings, aiming for my neck. It misses by a couple inches. Before he has time to withdraw I run forward and hit him in his stomach with the hammer.

He doubles over in. I turn and look at him, "I'm sorry" I say before bringing the hammer down on to the back of his head. He cries out before falling to the ground. I can actually see the dent in his skull.

Bang!

His cannon fires and that one more down. I have killed three people. Three innocent lives that were just trying to survive. I look in the direction where the girl ran but she is long gone.

I sigh and follow the sound of the water. This killing thing is pretty easy when it comes to it. I don't enjoy killing but when it comes down to saving your own life you just go for it. If that makes me sick in the head then so be it but everyone else is thinking the same thing.


I come across the water. It is a small stream running through the park. I look into my reflection and I scream at the sight. I have blood splattered over it I quickly throw myself into it and scratch at my face, getting the blood off.

While I'm in there I decide to pull out my flask and full it up before putting a drop of iodine in it. I have to wait half an hour before I can drink it so I get out the stream and decide to walk around.

I walk for about half an hour then I take a rest on a small wooden bench. I wonder who is sitting in this position in the capitol right now. I wonder what mum and Kal are doing back in twelve. There most likely eating lunch or something.

"There's one"

I spin my head around and see the career pack running full speed towards me. I start to panic. Oh god, what do I do. I look around frantically before running of in the opposite direction. I'm lucky I am a fast runner.

I can still hear them chasing me while I'm running through the streets. The girls are laughing their heads off at something. I turn down an alley way, I bet all cameras are on me at the moment.

At the end of the alley way I start to panic more. There is a fence, a big fence. I can't climb it. I'm not good at climbing at all. I look around and then I spot it. A small window that leads to the basement of the house next to me.

I bend down and quickly open it before sliding myself through it. I land on the inside and fall to the floor, listening to the careers. The rooms dark and hollow, any movement will echo and they will know I'm here.

"I'm sure he went this way" said a girl.

"He must have climbed the fence" said one of the boys.

"We will find him" said another boy. I hear their footsteps get quieter as they leave. I get up and dust of my still damp clothes before walking around. There is a faint light coming from the window but that's about it.

I get to my hand and knees and move around like that. If I can't see then I can feel. I feel around for over ten minutes until I feel a door. I stand and slowly open it.

I go through and look up the stairs, it's much easier to see in here as the light from outside will shine through. I climb the stairs and turn the corner at the top.

"Get out"

I suddenly stop in my tracks. The girl I saved before is standing there. She is holding a knife in front of her and some blood was over her clothes. She has short blonde hair in a small ponytail and has light green eyes.

"I can't…the careers are out there" I said. Suddenly she fall to the floor shaking. I walk over and bend down in front of her, "What's wrong?" I ask her.

"T-the careers a-are going to g-et m-me" she said. I place a hand on her back and stroke it.

"They won't get you" I replied. She stops shaking and looks up. I can see tears in her eyes, "I promise". Suddenly my brotherly instincts show. She looks a lot like Kal.

Suddenly she flings herself at me and wraps her arms around my neck. I hesitate at first but I hug her back. This is how I hug Kal whenever she is scared, "What sure name?" I ask.

"Venia Stone" she replied.

"Well Venia Stone, stay with me and I will protect you. I will try my best to make sure you get out alive" I say. She is just a little girl and president Snow has sent her in here to die. He is sick, I want to kill him. Send him in here and I will do it easily.

"B-but, what a-about y-you?" she asks.

"I am not scared of death. I will happily for someone as sweet and kind as you are" I replied. She pulls away and smiles, "Have you got water?" I ask. She nods.

"I'll show you" she replies before dragging me up to the second floor. She pulls me into a room and I notice there are three big bags, a couple knives and plenty of food and about three bottles of water. I also notice a small tent set up in the middle.

"Wow" I say.

"Thanks" is all she says before pushing me over to the bags. She passes me a bottle of water and some meat and crackers.

"Thank you…I'm guessing your good at hunting then" I said before taking a bite out of the meat. It's better than the dried me I had last night. She must have caught it herself.

"Yep" she says before taking a bite. I watch as she does so, she even eats like Kal. A smile grows on my face. She looks up at me, "What?" she asks. I just shake my head and smile wider before going back to eating.


A couple hours passed and me and Venia have gotten to know more about each other. She has three younger brother triplets back home. She loves working out in the field and she is really good with a scythe. She showed me a couple moves, she almost as good as I am with a hammer.

I told her how my life was back in twelve, she was upset when I told her parts of it but she got over it. Now we are both lying in the tent. She is curled up against my side fast sleep. I can't seem to sleep. I don't know who else is dead.

Then I hear the national anthem play. I slowly get up making sure not to disturb Venia and climb out the tent. I get up to the roof and I watch as they show who died today. The boy from four and that's it. There was the eleven from last night, plus the one in the middle of the night. There is about ten of us left.

Wow. Fourteen people dead in just two days. I have a feeling it could be over in the next two days. Plus with only one person dead today the capitol will get bored. Something bad I going to happen tomorrow.

I climb back down and go back into the tent and lie down. Venia curled back up to me before we both drifted off into a sleep.


A/N: Like it? Hate it? Review!

P.s. Oh my god! I just realised that this will be like a four or five chapter story…unless I include the victory tour. Then there will be the sequel…that one is going to be long.
