Chapter 10:
Cinna has dressed me in a black jumpsuit, and I am flying over to the arena in a helicopter. Cinna told me to eat, and when I asked him if we were allowed to pack food for the games, he said no. So I ate some, drank water, and am now staring out the window trying not to panic. The helicopter is a strange thing, but I've seen them before, flying above district twelve. I never thought I'd ever sit in one though. I suppose my wish has been fulfilled, even if it's flying me towards death. Brrrrroomzzzz.
The helicopter lands, and Cinna looks at me. "Now we go underground to the catacombs." He says. I just nod. I know all about the catacombs from watching previous games. It is where we get prep talked for dying. I shouldn't be so down. After all there is a chance I could win. But in that chance there is an even bigger chance of me having to kill Cato, Rue, or Glimmer. And since I can't do that, I'm already dead. Katniss and Mom are probably allready getting my funeral ready.
"Prim." Cinna looks at me. "You can not get distracted. What you need to do is get the closest thing towards you, then run away from the Cornucopia! Find water. Where there is water there is food." I nod. My throat is dry and I can't swallow. "Five, four, three.." Says a mechanical voice that is being broadcasted in the catacombs. I get into my tube. The walls close around me, and the elevators move up. "Two, one." My tube opens up and I see the arena. It is green and lush. Behind me is a forest. In front of me a lake. To my right is a cliff. and to my left is more forest. The closest thing to me is an orange backpack. I don't know what is in it, but that is what I will grab. I ready my feet to sprint. " Let the seventy fourth hunger games begin!" I hear Caesar Flickerman's voice. Then a horn blows and the hunger games start. I sprint to the backpack and grab it faster than anyone else, and then I'm gone. I sprint into the forest. Clove throws a knife in my direction, and I catch it with god like agility. 'This is good. Now I have a knife too.' I think. That means better chance of survival.
I keep running for hours. Then, when I'm a suitable distance away, i start to search for water. I listen closely, and hear the very faint rush of water. I follow it. I also notice that the grass is getting greener. I see a rabbits burrow and smile. Food. I go past a clump of trees and spot a well concealed pond. Then I get to work to make camp. First I open up the backpack. Inside is a water jug, iodine, a container with a bag of beef jerky in it, and a sleeping bag. I also put my knife into one of the knife sheaths built into the suits. I fill up my jug and add the right amount of iodine, which I know since I'm a healer.
Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.
Five drops of Iodine. I shake the bottle and wait an hour before drinking a bit, then refilling it. I eat a strip of jerky while doing the math in my head. One and a half strips of jerky a day will last me 2 weeks. I finish my strip. I suppose i will have to have half a strip for dinner. After that I climb a tree and wait for nightfall. After the sun sets, Faces are projected into the sky to tell us who died today. Both district 6, 3, 5, and 7's tributes died. District fours girl, district tens boy, district elevens boy, and district eights boy also died. Twelve people dead. Half the arena gone. The only ones left are the careers, Cato, Clove, Glimmer, districts 2s boy, peeta, district fours boy, district tens girl, and district eights girl, district nines tributes, rue, and me. None of the faces in the sky are faces I recognize, and I don't know whether that is a blessing or a curse. A blessing they are still alive. A curse that my chances of having to kill them, or them having to kill me have just doubled. I sigh softly as to not allow anyone around me to hear. With that I retire to my sleeping bag. I am glad I have it for I would be freezing without it. I fall asleep almost immediately, though my mind is saying I need to stay awake. I am woken when I smell smoke. i silently get up and pack my belongings. In case someone has found my pond, I can make a quick and silent escape. Last night I had camouflaged the bright orange bag. I put it on my back and get my knife ready. I hide behind a curtain of wisteria. I sniff again. I smell smoke coming from my left. I climb higher on the wisteria tree, and see a girl. The girl from district eight. She has set up a fire. That isn't smart, since the careers 'hunt' at night when everyone is asleep. They are sure to see or smell the smoke. My musings were correct as a couple of minutes later, the scream of the girl from district eight is heard as the careers stab a knife into her heart. I shudder as I witness the site. I shrink even lower into the wisteria, to make sure the careers don't spot me. Hopefully they won't spot my pond as well. It would be very sad indeed if they decide to use it. How else would I get my water? The careers do spot my water. They decide to camp out there. It is not all of them. Just district 2 and 4s boys. I see one of them has a dagger. I sigh mentally, so as not to alert them of my presences. It is time for my first kill. After they set up camp, the two fall asleep. I stealthily go and grab the dagger the boy from district 4 had. It was lying near his hand, but he doesn't even twitch when I take it. I then climb up the wisteria tree and simultaneously throw the knives so that they hit their hearts at the same time. They are dead before they can scream. It is a clean kill, so there isn't very much blood. I drag the bodies out a good 50 yards before sneaking back to the pond. Then the helicopter arrives and takes their bodies. Any career who is up would come and investigate, but of course they would be investigating the wrong area. The rest of the night goes by peacefully, or at least as peacefully as a night can be during the hunger games.
