Day 3-
The next day I wake up before the sun. It is warm even though its night. Or maybe its my big thick Jacket. I'm sure it weighs more than me. No wonder the 12 year old go in the bloodbath. The wouldn't be able to run in this. Today I have a plan. Someone needs to get rid of the Careers. And it won't be anyone else. They will split up to hunt now, because there are less people, and this will be the easiest time to kill them off. I just need to walk for a bit.
I have walked for hours when there is noise from crashing through the bushes. It is just one person though, not the whole Career pack. I quickly tuck my axe under my jacket so it's not noticeable. Just in time, as the boy from 1 crashes into the area. "Look its the baby from 7" He says gleefully. He pulls out a small dagger and hurls it at me. I only just manage to duck in time. He is tall, 18, and must weigh tons more than me. He laughs and pulls out another dagger, a longer one this time. And he jumps. I only just manage to get out of the way in time. He sprawls on the ground, and I scamper away to the other side of the clearing. I need to stay looking weak, I need to get sponsors out of this. They will write off my one kill as a fluke, that it was just luck. I won't get any sponsors for it. Especially after I cried. I need this kill. If I don't kill him, he'll kill me. And that can't happen. The boy gets up and wields his dagger. He jumps at me again. And this time I charge at him. His face creases into a look of surprise, but it quickly changes. As we meet, I pull out my axe and swing it hard. It digs into the side of his ribs. Whilst I do this he stick his dagger into the side of my left arm, which I barely feel. I am running on adrenaline. I pull my axe out he screams and I punch the cut hard. Then I swing the axe again, cleanly decapitating him. The cannon goes off. I won the fight. I'm injured, but I could be worse off. The head on the floor proves that. I cut off his backpack and look inside it. He has a full bottle of Water, some more dried meat, 2 daggers and some more rope. I put it all inside my original Backpack.
*Blights POV*
I grin as my girl takes the backpack and continues into the forest. The mentors are looking at me and I lean back into the chair. "What" I ask Charlie, who is staring at me with anger and shock on her face. "Forest was meant to win. But shes going to come home instead. Forest is my Nephew. He was going to come home". I feel bad but not for long. Johannas sponsor account is almost full. I click on the screen to send her something to put on the cut. She needs to be ready to fight.
*And back to Johannas Pov*
I'm sitting up another tree when the parachute comes down. I grin as I open it to reveal something to spread on my cut. I'm going to need this. It would be deadly for it to get infected. I sip some water as the Anthem plays. It just shows the boy from 1. I grantee the Careers are confused. And I don't need to cry tonight. Im closer to getting home to mum and dad. 16 gone, 7 left to kill.
