After breakfast they made sure they ate enough but not too much. Mordecai and Rigby headed with Haymitch to the center to get ready. "Alright my advice to you guys is stay alive this time I'm not wasted, I mean it. Also be careful were you sleep and find water, water is your new best friend". Haymitch said. "Okay got it". Mordecai said. "Got it". Rigby said. There they meet Cinna, Portia, Katniss and Peeta. Mordecai wore a black short sleeve shirt, grey pants, socks, short ankle black boots and a black arena jacket. It's the same one Katniss wore. Mordecai tripled laced his boots making sure they wouldn't come undone.

Mordecai and Rigby were at the place to get a tracker in your arm. "Give me your arm". A woman said putting a tracker in Rigby's arm. "What's this"? Rigby asked. "A tracker the Game Makers can keep track of you". She said then put a tracker in Mordecai's arm. Katniss sat with Mordecai he was pretty nervous. "Would you like some water"? Katniss asked. "Sure". Mordecai said taking a few sips of water. "Mordecai there's something I wanna give to you". Katniss said. "What is it"? He asked.

"It's a mockingjay pin it protects you from any harm as long as you're wearing it, nothing bad can happen to you". Katniss said giving Mordecai the pin. Mordecai pinned it to the right side of his jacket. Mordecai zipped his jacket half way. "Wow this is so cool but I feel kinda bad though". Mordecai said. "Why's that"? Katniss asked. "Because I didn't get you anything". Mordecai said. Katniss just giggled and said. "That's okay your company is all I need right now". She said.

Mordecai kissed Katniss on the cheek and hugged her and said. "Thanks for everything, I've really learned a lot thank you so much Katniss Everdeen". Mordecai said hugging her. "You're welcome Mordecai the blue jay". Katniss said hugging him. Katniss felt like crying because Mordecai kinda reminded her of her friend Gale and also herself in him. "Once the gong rings get the hell out of there and find a safe spot to camp out for the night". Haymitch said. "I'll remember that". Mordecai said.

"Also one more thing good luck son". Haymitch said. "Thanks Haymitch". Mordecai said. "Attention all tributes the game will begin in one minute". Claudius Templesmith said. Cinna came over to Mordecai and said. "I hope you or your raccoon friend win, I'm not allowed to bet if I could I'd bet on you". Cinna said then hugged him. Mordecai hugged back then stepped into a tube. "Attention all tributes the game will began in 20 seconds". Claudius Templesmith said. The tube lead, Mordecai to a forest it's the same place where the 74th annual Hunger Games took place.

Back at the park everyone turn there channel to, The 76th annual Hunger Games. Benson had a few tears run down his face never in Benson's life has he felt this way for Mordecai and Rigby. But he's hoping they can win. Benson, Skips, High Five Ghost, Pops and Muscle Man were really terrified right now for Mordecai and Rigby. Skips held Benson's hand for support. "Please don't be killed". Benson said terrified as ever. "Come on dudes you got this". Muscle Man said. Back at the arena the games were about to begin.

Mordecai's POV

My hands are sweaty, my heart's beating faster than the cart back at the park and my breathing was shaky. Rigby was 4 tributes from the left away from me I could imagine him pissing his pants right now. I studied the supplies given at the Cornucopia I spotted a bag of supplies with bow n arrows. I heard the countdown begin. "20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1". Claudius Templesmith said. The gong went off everyone took off running for a bag of supplies Mordecai and Rigby took off running full speed. Almost every tribute were killing and stabbing anyone to get supplies. Mordecai grabbed his bag and ran deep into the forest. Rigby grabbed his bag and took off running into the forest but a boy from District 9 grabbed his tail, Rigby kicked him off and continued running.

9 tributes lived dead in the Cornucopia while everyone hid in the forest. Mordecai kept running no matter what with his bag of supplies in his tight grip. "Okay I think this is far enough". He said out of breath. Mordecai looked in his bag to see what he got. There's a few strips of meat, a thing of water, sun glasses, socks, bow and arrows, a sleeping bag and a knife. "Okay where can I find a good place to camp out"? Mordecai asked. Then he found a tall tree to hide in.

Later that night Mordecai climbed up the tree and strapped himself to it making sure he wouldn't fall. He watched the night sky for the tributes faces. "Please don't be Rigby, not Rigby please". Mordecai said to himself. The faces he saw was a boy from District 2, another boy from District 4, a girl from District 8, another girl from District 9, another girl from District 7, another boy from District 3, another girl from District 6, boy from District 10, and a girl from District 5.

Rigby's face wasn't in the sky, Mordecai was relieved Rigby was alright…for now that is. Hell knows what could happen to him. 15 tributes remained in the game, meanwhile with Rigby he had his night glasses on it could make him see better in the dark. "Look there's fire boy"! One of the Career tributes said. "Crap". Rigby said to himself then ran for his life. The Career Tributes chased Rigby until he found an underground cave to hide in.

But he had to be careful because there could be mines. Rigby hid from the Careers it seemed safe for now. "Where'd he go"? A girl Career asked. There was 4 Careers, two boys and two girls. "You can run and hide fire boy but were coming for you". A boy Career said teasingly. Rigby had chills go up his spine and was scared to sleep because he's afraid that one of the Careers would kill him in his sleep.

The morning sun rose so far no one died….yet, The Game Makers watched the other tributes very closely but Seneca Crane watched Mordecai and Rigby extremely closely. "Something wrong Sir"? One Game Makers asked him. "That Blue Jay and Raccoon really caught my eye something tells me those fools think they can win". Seneca said. "Well let's turn up the heat. Who wants barbequed bird"? He asked shirking then pushed a button.

Mordecai woke up to the smell of smoke and the sound of cracking tree branches. Snap, snap, snap, snap. "What the"? Mordecai asked himself. Mordecai began to take his bag and climbed down the tree he knew it was fire heading his way. "Oh crap fire"! Mordecai said scared. There was fire everywhere Mordecai tried to find a place to run but there's too much fire. He began to run being very careful not to touch the flames. "Ahh"! He screamed as he ran.

Mordecai covered his mouth and nose with his shirt luckily it was sweaty. Mordecai then found an opening for safety but it was a trap. Mordecai ran toward it but fire shot out of nowhere and burn some of his feathers and arm. "OW"! Mordecai screamed in pain. He thankfully got out of the fire alive but his arm was burned. He ran for the lake where he could cool his arm with water. Mordecai had a few tears run down his face from the fiery stinging pain on his arm. There was some fabric on the burned part on the skin. His whole arm isn't burned just the middle part of it.

His burned arm was bloody and black with ashes. Mordecai tried slowly ripping the fabric from the burned fried skin. But fabric took some off his skin with it. Mordecai bite finger and tried not scream in pain. "Alright Game Makers I'm not afraid anymore. You want me come get me". Mordecai said serious.

End of this part, well the games have officially began and Mordecai and Rigby have survived the first day, well Mordecai was almost fired to death anyway what's gonna happen next?

Will they survive? Will they die from the Careers Tributes or The Tracker Jacker stings? Find out in the next chapter.
