Its a clock

We make are way to the cornucopia as Katniss explanes what she thinks is happening. Once there we here a BOOM. Spinning around Katniss yells. I look back in time to see The male from two fall into the water with an arrow in his chest. Almost immidetly the island and Cornucopia began to spin. Im close to Beete and were both tossed to the ground. I try to hold on but its no good. I loose my grip only to feel Beete grab my elbow holding on.

Its the morning of the reeping my Sister brushes my hair pulling half into a ponytail leaving the rest to hang "Almost ready" She added something to my hair when i looked in our broken mirror i saw the blue bow from my old teddy bear that i had given to her. My sister was beautiful. Long curly red hair, Deep green eyes and a smile that shined like the sun. My sister moved away from me trying to get around things with her big belly. Jean had gotten marryed to one of the farmers son when they found out she was pregnant. Its her last reeping and she thought she was safe. We walk hand and hand down to the square our parents walking silently behind us. We stop and seperait. Im standing in a group of about 14 other 11 year olds when the sarimoni starts. Our escort talks and talks then its time for the drawing. He moves to the girls bowl and swishes his hand around dramatically pulling the name and slinking back. He reads the name and everything is silent. I look for my sisters face as she screams and crys being dragged up to the stand. 'She's due any day' I hear my mothers voice in my head. The announcer asks for volunteers. I raise my hand.

The Island stops spinning. I stand and move to the edge of the cornucopia where the contents of my stomach empty. I stand looking for Katniss and Joanna. I find finnick helping peeta to his feet only to be pushed away. Katniss joins us followed by Jo. "You ok?" I ask Joanna who shook her head fast letting the water fly off. "Peachy" She says in her unfriendly home. "We should keep going." Finnick gathers whats left and were back on our way.

I sit in a room to my self. 'What just happend' i thought as the door opend letting my crying parents in. The hug me and tell me im brave. I shake my head "Im not brave. I did this for the baby" I try and fail at giving them a reassuring smile. Soon enough the peace keepers enter leaving me alone. No one els enters. Were taken to the train in silence. Soon were on our way to the capital.

We make our way to the lightning tree. I walk close to finnick who follows behind Katniss and Peeta. "Think its true?" I ask finnick keeping my voice low so the others dont hear. "Do i think whats true?" He asks in return. I nudge my head in our leaders direction "The love story". Finnick smirked. "I wasn't sure until he hit the force field." "He hit the what? How is he alive!" Finnick full on grinned "YOU!" Everyone turned to look at me. "Smooth" Finnick said laughing. I blushed in embarrassment and kept walking.

We enter the arina. the cornucopia is surrounded by sand. To my Right I see tall trees and tall grass that spreads for miles. On my Left I see sand lots of sand. I look torwed the cornucopia looking for anything i could use. Im not strong enough to use the sowreds and my arms are to short for the bow. Not to far in-front of me in a backpack. BOOM! Four post to my left explodes killing the tribute from 12 instantly. 'must have fallen off' I think as the count down starts. 10 .

Let the games begin

Everything is set up for the 'electrocution of the other victors' Finnick came up with the name. They start giving out jobs. "Katniss and Joanna are to take the spool down to the beach and.." Beete is interrupted by an angered peeta "It should be Katniss and I going to the beach" Beete shook his head " I need you here with finnick to protect me". They argue a bit more but in the end Katniss and Joanna take the spool. "What about me?" I ask not wanting to look to week. "Ill need you to walk the prorimiter and keep an eye out for the others". With that were off. I left the group griping my knife looking out. It took awhile before anything happend. I here people in the distance. and look back towered the tree. When I turn back around im Face to face with District 1. I struggled a bit trying to fight them off. I turn to run back and manage to yell for Finnick when a large knife is driven into my side. I hear their feet hitting the floor of the jungle as they chaise behind me. I keep moving fowred even as the blood poors down my side. 'Must keep going.' I grip my knife tighter as i jump over a fallen tree. I dig my feet into the ground and take off faster. Spots appear in my vision and im afraid im going to black out. but I must keep going. I turn to look behind me to see the carriers closing the distance. I dont notice the steep drop in front of me or the giant rock. I hit the rock loosing my balance and tumble down the hill. Along the way i must have hit my head because I pass out. when I start to come too I see the arina falling apart around me. 'What did we do?' a hover craft appears above me dropping its claw down.

I hear noise around me people moving and voices shouting. I slam my eyes open and look around. Im lying on my stomach in some kind of hospital wing. I watch people I dont know run by some stays I hear two familiar voices to my left. "How bad is she?" One voice I recignised as Haymich. The other hesitated "Its hard to say. They said her room was the worst looking." It took me a minuet to realize the next voice was that of the Game maker Plutarch Havens-bee. Adrenaline runs through my vains. Anger in my heart. I lunge out off bed shoving aside a small blond doctor. I glanced to the side making sure I didn't knock her over. I see the Game maker. He turns slightly as my fist lands on the side of his head. I go for another punch when Larg dark arms grab around my torso blocking my arms. I let out a cry of pain as his chest hits my back. I hear the same voice from my room in the capital. The one with the gray eyes "Hey go easy on her" be for I can see his face my world goes dark.

My name is Mara Thompson
