THE 54th ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES:

The Games:

Hello again, Day 5! I want to just keep this as brief as possible, so you can get reading faster!

I want to apologise for my story error, where I said Yasmin never wanted an ally but she's allied with Alex. Sorry for that mess up. Anyway, enjoy the rest of this chapter!

Kate Anseld, District 2:

Survival is not what I'm good at. At all. I've always been fed, not ever having to feed myself or have to work for it. Therefore, in the training centre, I didn't bother going to any of the survival stations. How much I regret that now.

I continue limping through the woods, the axe in my leg still hurting like hell. I don't dare remove in fear of bleeding out, so I just leave it in.

It's early morning and I figure that if I kill another tribute, I can take their supplies and have food for a couple more days. Then I'll need to keep away from the Cornucopia if I don't want to be killed by them on sight.

I decide to go hunting while there's still plenty more tributes around. Just then, I hear a rustling sound. I load my bow and swivel round to find Ted from 11 wielding an axe.

Ted Ount, District 11:

I realize this girl is no ordinary tribute. She's a Career. And with a ranged weapon. I also notice how she has an axe embedded into her leg. This doesn't make her any more vulnerable though. I throw my axe with all my might. Unfortunately, the girl fires her arrow just as I throw my axe. I find myself with an arrow in my arm, and my axe sinks into a tree. I feel a surge of excruciating pain. I cry out and collapse onto the piney floor.

The girl must feel sorry for me, since the next thing I know, there's an arrow in my chest.

Garth Vander, District 1:

The cannon signifies the fourteenth death of the Fifty-Fourth Hunger Games. Jeez, that was pretty fast. Though often this amount are dead by Day 2, if there is a substantial amount of deaths in the bloodbath.

I wonder who the cannon must be for. Hopefully Kate, though I wouldn't bet on it. She's got the only set of bow and arrows in the arena, and there aren't many range-type weapons in the arena either, so it was probably a fight and one won, or Kate killed them. Either way, it won't help us at all.

The Careers are just doing some weapons training when Johansen calls us over.

"Okay guys, we need to narrow down the amount of tributes. So, everybody is to leave the Cornucopia with a backpack and their weapon of choice and kill someone. Then we all meet back here in a few days and see how many are left after that. We'll hopefully reach Top 8 then." I think it's a pretty good idea, and everybody else agrees, so the plan's put into action.

I grab a black pack from the pile and slide a few more knives into my belt. Ellie takes her throwing knives and a red pack. Johansen an orange backpack and Ross a green pack. I clench my sword as we all split into different regions of the arena.

I sprint as fast as I can into the woods. Ross is headed into the desert, Ellie the mountain range and Johansen the jungle. It'll be Top 8 in no time.

Isabelle Freeman, District 11:

I wonder who's cannon that was. Hopefully not my district partner, though it's very possible. It's evening and the seal should be appearing soon.

I begin to snack on some of my crackers from my pack when the anthem plays. Please not Ted.

And of course, it's Ted.

And of course, there's someone attacking me right now.

And of course, I've now got a knife in my back.

And of course, I'm dead.
