A/N:Two chapters in one day?! Yes, I decided to post this one, after I finished the last one. Enjoy!
This one doesn't have a lot of action, it's mainly Lily trying to find food and Bay. But not all of the chapters have to have blood, guts and gore... There will plenty of time for that in later chapters.
PS. The story might have only about five more chapters left... But even if it does, their will be a few other stories in the same universe of this one. Prequels basically... One for Johanna, one for Annie and another with an OC character...

Chapter 8: Day 2 in the games
I was woken up by sounds of loud canons. I counted eleven. Eleven down, twelve to go. I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep...
...
The following morning, I woke up cramped. I checked outside before I got out and stretched, hearing a few bones pop. I picked up my backpack, and quickly got to work, trying to fin out where I was. I walked out of the ally and saw the Cornucopia in the distance to the left. I decided to go to the right. The streets were empty. I didn't see any other tributes. Lucky for me, but where was Bay? I was so hungry so I decided to check out some of the buildings for food. When I entered one of the buildings, I discovered a lot of bird droppings on the floor. Looking up, I saw that the second floor had been completely destroyed. Leaving only the sides closest to the walls. I knew that Birds in this city would want to lay eggs up... up HIGH... I hated heights. Trees are the highest I would normally go. But I was so hungry, I was willing to try anything. I looked around, and found a door, that might lead to the second floor. I went through it, and found a staircase. Following it, I came to another door. When I opened it, I nearly fell down, to the floor, twenty five feet below me.
I hugged the wall, and slid to the left. After sliding for a minute, I came to an area, where a part of a while extended. While I slid over it, I lost my grip and nearly fell. Regaining my grip, I continued my quest to find food. I finally reached the other side and came to another door, this one taking me to the higher floors. I reached the top floor, and came to a door that lead to the roof. I looked around, and walked to the edge. The view went on for a mile, before being covered by the taller buildings. I looked to the building next to mine. I saw pigeons flying away. I knew there might be a nest there, So I looked for any ways I could cross. There was a pipe on the side of the other building. If I could grab it, I could made it across. I took a few steps back, before I made a jump for it. I just managed to get ahold of the pipe, and climbed my way up. Finally, I made it. I let out a sigh, and walked to where the pigeons took off. I saw a single nest, with three eggs it. I pick up one, and smelled it. It smelled foul, it was rotten. I threw it over my shoulder and smelled the second one. It was okay, so I cracked it, and drank the contents within. I then smelled the third. It was okay too, so I did the same as the last one. After my not so satisfying meal, I decided to check out the building I was currently on. I hoped I would fine Bay soon.
...
After searching the entire building, I decided that there wasn't anything worth taking. I was on the second floor, and was about to head to the first floor, But the door was locked. I tried to force it open, but it wouldn't budge. I noticed an elevator to my left. I saw a hole in it, and used a lockpick I got in from my backpack, to unlock the elevator. It opened by a inch, and I forced it open the rest of the way. The elevator was on the first floor, but I could shimmy down the cable. I reached out and felt the cable; it was slippery with grease. I retracted my hand and looked around for anything that I could use as friction. There was a emergency Fire house near the door. I looked around for something to break the glass. There was a lot of newspapers, I grabbed a bunch of them and folded them into a bat, then I bent them in half. I smacked the wall as a test, and smiled when I heard a loud smack. I stood back, closed my eyes and swung. I heard the glass shatter, and quickly took the house. I used the knife I had gotten from Juno yesterday, and cut a part of the hose of. I then used the rubber of the hose to slid down the cable, without slipping. After I reached the elevator, I opened the thing on the top of it, to slip in it. I then used the lockpick in the same way I did for the doors above me, and hurried out. I could see the exit, it was just a few feet away. I ran for it, but my path was blocked by someone...
...
A/N: Cliffhanger! Maybe Lily should just stay out of the buildings! First, the incident in the hotel, now this! XD The next chapter will have more action, I promise!
Tune in next time, to fine out who the blocking person is!
Bye!
