Percy got it after the interviews. I know I'm not supposed to eavesdrop, but I did it anyways. I couldn't help it.

"PERSEUS JACKSON!" Katniss hollered in the dining room. "WHY?!"

"What?" He asked. "I was just trying to cause some drama, get great reviews. Isn't The Hunger Games basically a reality TV show?"

"IT TECHNICALLY IS!" There was no calming Katniss now. "YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN PEETA DID THAT TO 'GET GREAT RATINGS'?? WE ALMOST SUCCESFULLY PULLED DOUBLE SUICIDE! DO YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN???"

"Katniss, sheesh," Percy responded. "Calm down."

I layed awake in my bed, unable to fall asleep. The Hunger Games began tomorrow. I ended up falling asleep to the pitter-patter of a light rain.

I woke up before Efnia came to my door. I dressed in the clothes Twist gave me the night before, the clothes for the games. This time, it was a black long sleeved shirt, combat boots, and fitting gray pants.

I walked into the bathroom in my room for the first time. I washed my face, and pulled my hair up into a low ponytail. I opened the door, to find Effnia standing there, about to knock.

"Oh, Annabeth," she exclaimed, surprised. "I'm not used to you being awake before I get you!"

"Yeah, yeah." I squeezed past her.

I made my way to the living room, where Percy and Katniss already were. Effnia followed close behind me.

Percy and I had a few more minutes to talk strategy. We had already confirmed that Percy, Ethan, and I would grab supply bags while Helena made her way, sneakily, into the Cornucopia.

"Sorry, guys," Katniss sighed, cooled off from last night. "But you need to make it underground."

Twist led me to my plate under the arena.

"Here," she handed me a maple leaf.

"What's this?" I asked.

"Consider it your token," she smiled.

I nodded, then stepped on the plate. A tube closed around me, and I waved goodbye to Twist before I was brought up.

I got a good look at the arena. Behind me were woods, in front of me was the Cornucopia. Beyond the Cornucopia was a stretch of mountains. Deserts also lined the left, while a marsh lined the right.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO!

I ran off my plate, and grabbed a supply bag from the outskirts of the Cornucopia. With no time to glance around for Percy and Ethan, I ran towards the woods.

I was a good mile into the woods when Percy and Ethan caught up to me.

"It's a wonder they let me keep my toolbelt!" Ethan exclaimed.

We couldn't hear what he said next thanks to the cannon shots already going off. Hopefully, the Capitol didn't hear either.

Ten cannon shots. That's how many died at the Cornucopia.

Following Katniss' guide, we went on our search for water. Thankfully, Percy and I made sure to drink a lot at breakfast to keep from getting dehydrated.

The sun was high in the sky, and there wern't any more cannon shots. Today, the weather must be sunny. That means tomorrow could be anything. Cloudy, windy, rainy, snowy, blizzardy, floody, tornado, anything.

"Guys!" Ethan called from in front of us. "I found water!"

He sure did. It was almost like an oasis, except in the forest, not the desert. It was a perfectly circle lake, with a wide assortment of tree's around it.

"Wait," I told him. "This water might be dangerous."

I walked to the pond, and studied the water. Completely pure water had a clear look, not shimmering blue. It also just slightly reflected the sun. I was surprised. I cupped some in the hands and tasted it just to be sure. We had found, for the first time in Hunger Games history, completely pure water.

"Ok, guys," I turned back to them. "Empty your packs."

Ethan's was filled to the brim with water bottles, and one sleeping bag. Percy's also had a sleeping bag, two water bottles, strips of meat, dried fruit, and crackers. Mine had a coat, dried fruit, and several water bottles.

I felt like we hit jackpot. I felt that we had a chance of winning. We filled up all the water bottles, and sped back into the woods.

We were setting up camp as the sun set. I made a steady lean-to incase there was rainy weather tomorrow. We filled one bag with the water bottles, one with food, and left one empty for the sleeping bags.

We were worried, since Helena had not returned yet. But we were confident she was still alive. She just hadn't found us yet.

The Capitol anthem played, and we turned our heads to the sky.

First was Annalise, then Toby, then Rupert. Three Carrers were already dead. That was good. What was next was not good.

Next, glowing in the sky, was the unforgettable face of Helena Zhang.
