I find a strong, sturdy tree to stay. I climb up to a strong branch, this will be my home for how long, I don't know. I soon realise that I'm hungry, I open my bag and eat the rest of my supplies before I realise that I have nothing else to eat. I drink all the water in my bottle before deciding that I need to hunt. Perhaps I can try out my new axe.
I jump down from my tree, grabbing my bag in the process, and scurry over to a smaller one. I don't think that anyone's around so it should be safe out here, hopefully. I practice throwing the axe at the smaller tree. I make marks on it, lots of marks. This is boring, I decide, I need a challenge. I try to hit spots I've already hit, after the first few goes; I get the hang of it. I realise that I'm quite good at this. Perhaps the axe will be my saviour!
I need food, I think, I need to hunt. I'm not hungry at the moment but I will be soon. I also need water. I walk around quietly, waiting for an animal to come out into the open. After an hour I decide that this is hopeless, I go back to the tree. That's when two fairly large rabbits come into view. Before I have time to consider, the axe has left my hand and is in one of the rabbits neck, the other rabbit tries to run away however, one of the knives I have lands on its chest.
I go to get them when I hear the sound of running water. I stuff the rabbits in my pack. I follow the sound until a come to a small pond. I don't think I've seen this pond before, oh well. I grab all the bottles and fill then one by one. When I'm satisfied, I go back to my tree.
I make a small fire and cook the smallest rabbit. I eat half of it, washing it down with water. I yawn, it hasn't been a long day, yet I'm tired. It must be the axe throwing that made me sleepy. I don't think anyone's died today, I didn't hear a canon. I climb up the tree, strap myself on and close my eyes, drifting off into an awkward sleep.
"BANG" The noise of the canon awakens me. I wonder who it could be. I look up into the sky; it must be late morning as the sun is rather high. I wonder how long I've been out. I finish the rabbit and most of the water in mine and Lila's bottles.
I shove all my stuff into my bag and go on a journey. There must be five, no four of us left seen as one's just died. Well, I've made it into the final four, my district will be proud. Probably.
"Did you kill her? Huh. Did you?" I hear a voice coming from nearby, I don't recognise it, I wonder who it could be. I climb up a tree to see who it is. I see Keerco (Lila's district partner) holding the girl from district four. The boy lay dead on the floor. That's who the canon was for earlier.
"No, it was someone else!" she whimpers, "It wasn't me! It was district one, they wanted to kill district seven." Me? What have I done? "Clanacilia told us to kill her." She says answering my silent question "Clan said she looked mean. She had so much food. Clan was spying on her and Lila but thought it was too risky going alone because of the powers she could possess." Where did she get this from?
Keerco was loosening his grip, I wanted to yell out to him but that would give me away. Before I knew it, district four had Keerco in a headlock. "Did you really think I was going to let you kill me?" she smiles, Keerco was going blue, "I will win this!" No she won't, I think as I throw a knife at her head. She is dead within seconds. The canon fires.
"Well," I say, jumping down from the tree, "aren't you going to thank me?"
"Thank you for what?" he shoots back at me.
"Erm, maybe, saving your damn life," I yell "or should I've left her to it?"
"Thanks," he says quietly.
"Do you want to be allies?" I ask politely.
"No," he says, "I work alone."
"Okay," I say, "why?"
"So I don't get sad when people die," he says and begins to cry, "apart from Lila! She was my best friend, I wanted her to live, I was trying to protect her. I couldn't go one without avenging her death."
"Don't worry," I say softly, "her killers are dead."
"Yeah," he says, "but it's your fault!" I look startled and I'm about to question him when he says "If you hadn't been allies she wouldn't have died. Clanacilia wanted to kill you not her! So, I'm going to have to kill you." He comes forward, a knife pointed at my chest when I throw it, hitting his heart. BANG, the canon signals the end of his life.
"I'm so sorry," I whisper to his dead body, "You were going to kill me!" I take his bag, district four didn't have any, Clanacilia must have them. I walk away from the scene. The hovercraft picks up them.
I turn, "Goodbye!" I continue to walk for miles.
