Before you read this chapter I've got to say I don't own Nyan cat.
Sixty seconds, that's how long I've got to plan where to go. I start to look around the arena, it looks to be a large jungle and in the distance a waterfall can be seen. I look to find Saffron, she's three tributes to my left, she looks to me and I point behind me, away from the waterfall. She nods and turns to a bow and quiver of arrows. I notice another closer to the centre which has a lot more arrows. I focus on a backpack near some knifes on the ground. I look at the timer ten seconds, I focus back on the backpack, but the counter is going in my head. I lead forward ready to run, and then the gong rings thought the arena. I run and slip the backpack over my shoulder. A pick up four knifes from the ground. I start to run to the patch of jungle that pointed to when the boy Tyrell drops death next to me, an arrow in his next and a sword in his hand. I grab his backpack and turn to see Saffron catching up to me with a bow in her hand. We run as far as we can in the hot climate, but it's not long till Saffron needs to rest, not use to working her body under the hot sun. I open the original backpack, and look inside. I find a water skin, a bottle of iodine, a loaf of bread and a roll of bandages. It's not the best stuff, but it'll do. I turn to the other backpack which is heavier and bigger meaning it came from nearer the Cornucopia. I open it hoping for a some better stuff and find one. A half-filled water bottle, another bottle of iodine, a pack of cooked meat, a pack of dried fruit, a coil of wire, and a box of wire. I start to spit what I found in the backpacks onto each one. When I've finished I turn to her and give her the backpack and ask,
"What did you get?" she goes behind her and and puts a sleeping bag in front of her. Then she reaches inside of her sleeves and gets out a waterproof sheet. "You killed him didn't you?" I say thinking of the body that fell down next to me.
"Yes," she says sounding disappointed in herself "He was about stab you." Now I realize what he was doing with the sword, he hadn't counted on me and Saffron teaming. I pass her the small dark green backpack which I just filled up and sling the bigger orange backpack on. We start walking again in till we come to a clearing and start to set up camp, my necklace falls over and shirt. Saffron notices it, "That's pretty," she says touching the feather and rolling it through her fingers.
"So, what's your token?" I ask she holds out her arms, and a rusting chain falls from it. On the end of it is a charm, which seems like a cat's head, legs, and tail on what some people in the training centre called a pop-tart. I smile, "Where did you get it?" I ask, it's evidently old, ancient even.
"Posy and I found a box while digging in the school yard. It had this and tons of other old stuff!" I wonder where the box came from, I heard a long time ago people use to bury boxes. We are going to start setting up the waterproof sheet when a cannon boom rings across the arena. I stop to count the booms, six. That low for a bloodbath I'd think, but it's possible that Odin's already dead. No I tell myself, he's strong, he's more likely to killed some of the fallen than be among them. I go back to fixing the corner of the sheet to one of the trees at the edge of the small clearing. We've about finished when another cannon booms thought the arena. The careers must have started hunting early. I decide to climb a tree the check if they're near. I don't see them, but I see the hovercraft take away the bloodstained body of a male tribute. I descent down the tree knowing the careers can't be that far away. I take my backpack and begin to see I can find water and I walk for only a few minutes before finding a pond I drink the little water in the water skin and fill it from the pond, I then both a few drops of iodine into the water skin, in half an hour I'll be able to drink it. On the way back to the camp a I hear noises coming from behind me and I turn. There's a boy behind me with a dagger in his hand. I grab one of my knifes and throw it at him. It lands in his heart, boom the cannon rings out through the arena. I run back to the camp here I'm greeted by a hug from Saffron. "I thought you were dead," she says.
"No," I say, feeling bad that I've not only killed, but Saffron thought it could have been me. "I killed a boy, on the way back." She hugs me, we've both killed, the Capitol has used us both as a piece in their games. As night begins to fall another cannon boom, and the anthem starts and the Capitol seal appears. I brace myself for the nine dead today. The first face that appears is the face of the District 2 boy, Vulture I think his sister called him. Next the girl from District 3, then the District 5 male. Meaning there's five careers alive and well, and at less one wants to kill me. Then the District 6 girl appears and then the boy from the hovercraft who was her District partner. Then both from District 8 appear in the sky, then the girl from 9 and the boy I killed from District 9. The boy Tryell appears next, and then the Capitol seal. Me and Saffron start to start to go to sleep but thoughts go through my mind. Not only is Odin still alive, but so is Layla, and she's going to want payback for her brothers death. I'm going to be top of her list.
The next chapter could be out soon depending on a chat tomorrow I'm having with Foxface161. Thank you Emily, and I hope you like the new chapter.
