Authors note: I am so sorry that chapter seven has taken so long to come out. I have been away on vacation with no computer. I'd also like to put a note out for an author, "TheMockingJay'sFlight" who is standing up for deleted stories. It would be a great help if you could read TheMockingJay'sFlight's story, "Revenge of the Deleted stories" and support TheMockingJay'sFlight by commenting on the story. Enjoy chapter seven! It is very short but chapter eight will be out a lot sooner!

The morning sun shines through the full wall window. I can feel butterflies in my stomach. I'm going into the arena today. I sit up in bed and look around. This could be the last time I ever see a bedroom. I force myself out of the bed and get dressed into the clothes Fornten left out today. T-shirt, long pants and a wind proof jacket. I assume that these are my arena clothes. I leave the jacket off and walk out to the dining room. Cato is waiting there. He looks like a killing machine. It's kind of scary. "Ah!" he exclaims. "Good morning sunshine! I've been waiting for hours and no one has come!" I look at the clock on the wall. "That's because it's five thirty AM." I say wearily. He looks at the clock too. "Oh." He says. He seems very excited. "Oh my God! I can't wait to get in the arena." I grin and walk to the table. Cato calls for an avox and get him to get him a drink. The avox hurries away. About two minutes later, we hear a loud crash and a bang. Brutus walks in. He doesn't look very happy. He has a large stain running down his shirt. A few moments later, the avox boy walks in again. He is holding a glass in his hand and he has a massive red bruise across his face. We can tell that Brutus hit him. He puts the drink down in front of Cato. I look at the boy. He only looks about my age. I wonder how he came to be an avox. I feel sorry for him.

In the dressing room, Fornten is the only on with me. Once I'm ready, we walk down to meet the others. "You nerves?" Cato says with a grin. I don't reply. Just look down and rub my lips together. "When you get in, grab some knives and find me." he says. I nod. We are taken to a helicopter air craft thing with the windows blanked out. I'm not so sure when we are in their air until we start wobbling. A woman comes around with large seringas and implants something into each of our forearms. I hear a girl asking what it is and the woman replies, "This is your tracker." Once everyone has their tracker, we fly for a long time before finally landing underground. Well, what I think is underground anyway. Fornten leads me into my own room. There is a vertical tube which will elevate me up into the arena. Now that I am in this room, I am really starting to get scared. "Good luck." Says Fornten. "Thanks." I reply. "I know you'll do well. You're a fighter, you know?" he says. I smile. He fixes up my clothes and then, it's time to go. He walks with me over to the tube and I step in. "Just remember, lots of people believe in you…including me." he says. "Thanks Fornten." I say. The tube closes in and starts to go up. I can see Fornten mouthing something, but I can't hear what he's saying. Just before the tube enters the arena, I know what he's saying. "Don't give up."

I'm in the arena. I look around. Cato is a few spaces away from me. He gives me thumbs up. The arena looks like a large forest, and the cornucopia is in a huge clearing. "Ladies and gentlemen! Let the seventy forth Hunger Games…Begin! The countdown begins from sixty. 60…59…58…I wonder if I should run away on my own. …49…48…No! I can't do that! Cato and I are in an alliance already! 41…40…Besides, I want to stay with Cato. Then what is making me want to abandon Cato and Marvel and…35…34…33…Glimmer! It's Glimmer! She's what's putting me off! I don't want anything to do with her! 22…21…20…19 Ok, so my top kill list is, District Twelve, and Glimmer, but I'm worried that if I kill Glimmer around the others, they'll all get pissed at me, so I'm going to have to work something out….10!..9!..8!..6!...I get ready to sprint into the middle, right into the heart of the blood bath…3!...2!...1! The dong goes and I leap off my podium, remembering Cato's words. I scan the area for knives. There! I dart to the belt of knives and quickly put it on. I can see the girl from district twelve, Katniss. She is looking at something and she looks rather disturbed. I look in the direction she is looking and see the boy from district twelve, Peeta. He is putting on a ridicules smile and waving furiously at Katniss as though he's trying to get her to wave back. All of a sudden, a figure zooms in from the side and completely wipes Peeta out. It's Cato. He's not killing Peeta so I presume is going to force him to be on our side. Now that that's over, I look around for Katniss again. I see her. She is in perfect aim for me to kill her. I pull out one of my knives as she goes for a backpack. All of a sudden, another boy comes and starts fighting her for it. He's blocking my shot! Thinking quickly, I aim for his back and it hits him right on target with a thud. He stays up for a bit, and then drops dean at Katniss's feet. I run at her, throwing a knife occasionally. She somehow manages to dodge them and run off into the forest. I spin back around and run into the blood bath to find Cato, as he told me.
