Snap. Crunch. Snap. Crunch.

My eyes fly open. Are we being attacked. I slowly get out of my sleeping bag and tip toe to the source of the steps.

Snap! Snap! Crunch!

It's really loud now.

I whip out my trident and dart my eyes around. Seriously, who is tha-

BOOM!

BOOM!

I hear frightened screams from not to far away. I smirk and follow the scream. Now, I'm only a few feet away. There's a small girl that's my age, screaming. Oh yeah, she's Evelyn Gazzayle, Etheline's sister. I heard their grandma won the games a few years back.

Evelyn screams, and shrieks when her eyes meet mine. To prove that I won't kill her, I drop my weapon. She stops screaming and walks toward me. "You won't kill me...right?" she asks, tapping her foot.

"No," I say. "As long as you don't kill me." She smiles. "Wait, aren't you a career?" I nod. "Well...I used to be."

What did I just do? I broke up with the careers and went off with Evelyn! Man, I hate that this is televised. Well, anyways, there is a little thing I like to call sabotage-

"There she is!" Omigod, the careers found me. "Let's just kill her, she's no use to us," a girl from one, Jaclyn, says. The others nod. Without objection, I run as fast as I can. Away from the careers...and away from Evelyn.

BOOM!

No, it can't be her cannon. She's too young too die...like me.

The hovercraft comes and picks up...a career. Wait, did Evelyn kill her? I run back to help Evelyn. She's too weak on her own.

BOOM!

I glance at Evelyn. Still okay.

A few hours later...

It's morning. Most of the careers are dead. Evelyn and I are alone, and we're searching through our bags.

"Did you get this?" she asks me, and holds up a...spike...ball. "No!" I shout. I remember seeing this trick last year. It was the one hundredth Hunger Games. A little girl dropped this spike ball in water. It became huge and crushed six tributes.

I throw the ball over my shoulder. "We don't need that," I say. She sighs and nods. When Evelyn's not looking, I make sure my trident is still by my side. Just incase...

Omigosh, I hear the snapping again. The same one from the night before...it's the same person. "Evelyn, I'm gonna go search for water. Go hide somewhere," I say, and walk away. I bet she's confused, but I hear her walk away. I dash to the steps. Finally, I found the person who's been stalking me!

It's the young boy from eleven named T.J. T.J is such a dork, he got a two in training...

I slash my trident at him. Dead, he's dead!

BOOM!

BOOM!

That was his cannon...and somebody else's. I see the hovercraft pick up someone nearby...it looks like Evelyn.

"Evelyn!" I shout. "Evelyn!" No answer. Omigod, I think it was her. Did one of the few careers get her at the last second-

"Maylin! Maylin!" Evelyn. She's alive. It must've been someone else. I run to where she seems to be screaming...but I can't find her. "Where are you?" I say. I look up and find her perched at the top...of...a...tree...

I'm super scared of hights...and falling to my death. Evelyn gestures for me to come up, so I do. I steadily climb each branch. I'm about fifty feet in the air when a silver parachute falls down in front of me. Sponsors. "Thank you," I mutter. I open it and see medicine. It's cream like and gooey. I rub it on a spot where a career slashed me...gone in seconds. This must've been hard to get for me.

It's night now, the anthem is starting. The ones who died...

The careers. The two other District 6 people. T.J. People who I don't know. That leaves only fifty tributes. The anthem finishes and the fake sky is cleared. Wow, what a d-

BOOM!

I look over to Evelyn. Omigosh, she's gone. Must've been taken away when I was so caught up with the dead tributes.

"Help!" I hear someone scream. And that someone sounds exactly like Evelyn.

It's so dark, so black that I can't see anything. And I'm still in a tree. Without thinking, I jump down. Ow! I feel like something just broke. I close my eyes. I feel...sick. When I open my eyes, my vision is blurry. I close my eyes again and now I can't hear anything. My breathing gets slower...

BOOM!
