Stalking through the forest, my heart is beating so fast. I am keeping hold of Jotham's hand so that Micah cannot hurt me. She isn't beside me, but behind me. I stop, and let her catch up. I don't want her behind me. What if she ambushes me?

She stops at a bank and we peer down. There is the Career's camp, and as promised, there is plenty of food there. If we are brave we can take it, and if we are quick we can survive. If we are caught, the Careers will surely kill us.

Micah begins to jog around a corner and leaps down. It's not a far jump, probably about a meter. As soon as I fall down, I scrabble around, grab enough food for me and Jotham and begin to climb back up. Jotham takes my hand and we run into a bush. I stuff the food into the rucksack and out of sight, we gaze down at Micah.

She's running around frantically. A shadow appears behind her. I gasp, and Jotham covers my mouth.

"It's ok, she's evil, anyway," Jotham whispers. As the shadow gets closer, it begins to run, but stays silent. Upon further inspection, I recognise the brown hair, tall structure, long legs of Ash, the boy from two.

He makes a noise that startles her. She spins around, sees Ash, and screams. I would too, if I was her. He's threatening. She begins to walk backwards, her hands in the air submissively.

Anna, the girl from four, and Dente, the boy from one, stand watching. They have an amused grin on their face. Micah pulls out her knife from her pocket and tries to stab Ash, but it's no use. He has a sword, and he stabs her in the side, like I imagined her doing to me.

She falls to the floor, groaning. Blood spills out from her. She begins screaming. The Careers laugh. Micah begins wriggling, struggling. She tries pulling the sword from her but it causes her more pain and she just bleeds more. Then she stops wriggling, the cannon fires, and she's dead.

I see her face printed in the sky. It's a haunting image, of what an innocent, 14-year-old girl from District Eight looked like before murder turned her mad.

"That was an experience," Jotham says, as we stalk through the forest, stepping over high leaves. He begins to count on his fingers, and out loud. "Dente, Ash, Anna, Flux, the boy from 5, and us. That makes, um, 7."

I nod. Ahead of us, Flux is in combat with a heavily muscled boy, who I presume is from District 5. He did tell me his name, and it comes back like an electric shock.

"Kingsley!" I yell. He turns around but he doesn't see me. I can see what Flux is fighting him for, the water bottle that he holds in his hands. She knows how dangerous the water is here. Flux is so clever for a District One tribute. Usually Careers are so wrapped up in the fact that they can kill who they want, when they want. But Flux is different. Yes, she does kill, but only for things that could help her. She even left the Careers. How different is she?

Flux looks weak and tired. She keeps punching Kingsley around the face, and he does bleed but only slightly. His fists are much stronger than Flux's, and whenever he punches her she screams out in pain. It looks like it's a losing battle for Flux. But she hits one last blow, with all her effort, and Kingsley falls to the floor. He's not dead, just unconscious. But she sees to that. She shoots an arrow at him, and he doesn't make a noise. He's unconscious, so obviously he doesn't feel it. He just slips away. Kingsley's death was more peaceful than any other death I've seen. His eyes closed, it's like he's just slipped into an eternal dream.

But then Anna from four comes along laughing and when Flux spots her she begins to run. But Anna is faster, and she grabs Flux around the waist. They roll around, fighting and screaming. When they stand up, both of them are covered in blood. Flux has been beaten this Games. I look at Jotham, and he nods. I throw my arrow that I stole from her and it hits Anna.

Not where I'd aimed for, but in the shoulder. She howls in pain. She can't pull it out either. She continues fighting Flux, who punches her in the eye and it bleeds. Anna looks ever so scary. She's like something from a nightmare. As she fights, she looks around for whoever threw the arrow.

Jotham and I begin to run. I can tell from the screams that the girls haven't stopped scrabbling. Then I hear one final scream and it's silent. Are they both dead? I hear only one cannon, and look to the sky. Flux's beautiful face meets mine and stares down at me. Anna killed Flux. Now the only person I feel like killing could be Anna. I know Flux tried to kill me, but I felt connected to her when I pulled the knife out of her stomach. When I helped her, she was different. Not an arrogant District One girl with her nose in the air. But girls like me, in these Games for no reason. In these Games and dead in the end.

"Rest in peace, Flux," I murmur. I can vaguely see Anna walking back to the Career camp. Anna was in fact driven mad when she watched her own brother, Avery, die because he was poisoned. Anna was there, she watched him. Word says she tries to kill every tribute she runs into, and that she blamed Dente, the District One boy for his death.

"Why didn't you help him?" Jotham told me she said. She pinned Dente against a tree and held a knife to his throat. "You just let him die."

A tear came to my eye. Imagine what it would be like to be in the Games with your older brother and watch him die? I watched my older brother die live on television last year. Now I'm in it myself. I know exactly how he felt.

With Flux and Kingsley gone, there is only 5 of us left.
