I know I skipped ahead, but the book says she hid out for a couple days and I thought that'd be boring. Oh and sorry if parts are cut off like previous chapters kind of like this: You know tha no he's not! Or something. Sorry. Some kind of problem, I'm trying to get it fixed.

Hope you like this chapter.

Don't know if I should continue or not. I don't think it's very good. :/

But please review so I know what you guys think! Thanks.

Thanks.

When I awake, I remember that I've been up in this tree, hiding, for three days. I'm starving and thirsty. All I've found is a little pond and have been putting water in it, topping it off with my iodine and it's all clear and pretty. For food, all I've got is the food that was in my bag and the berries I picked from home.

There's barely anyone left. Amarack and Kirel and the other Career. And those from 11. The other two died at the hands of the two careers left.

That's 1234... 5 left, not including me.

I decide to wait two more days and see what happens. I sleep, collect berries, and nothing happens. When I awake on the second day, I hop down off the tree.

I guess it's time. I stretch out and head towards the Cornucopia, ready to kill off the Careers. I've been spending the past couple of days thinking about what's going on with the District 11 people and Amarack and Careers:

The District 11 people I spotted yesterday. The boy is strong, the girl...eh. But the boy is protecting her. Their names are Samany ( the girl ) and Jace. They pick the same berries that I do, must know them from the orchards, and hide in trees, which they are familiar with. Not as familiar as me, but, well...

Amarack has been staying in trees, like me, hiding from the Careers. He probably picks the berries as well, all of us learned about them in school. And I'm going to kill him now if I encounter him.

The Career Tributes... there's not much to say. They're Careers. They have all the supplies from the Cornucopia.

I hear a rustle from behind me. My eyes widen, my body grows stiff, my ankle still hurts, I have a scar from the knife on day one, scapes from Kirel's spear still burn. I swing around, my ankle aches and complains, but I focus on finding the stalker.

I look around, listen intently. The woods are silent. I look right and left, up and down, turn my head back and forth and let each ear pick up every noise possible.

All I hear is the wind howling ever so slightly. Then it comes again. Another rustle, from the right, I now know. Turning that way, I see him immediatly.

Of course. It's Amarack. Picking berries, not even noticing me.

I walk through the leaves towards him. He doesn't hear. I'm right behind him, most deadly axe in the air.

"Hey, Amarack!" I scream.

He turns, frightened, and realizes it's me.

"What are you doing?" He asks. "Trying to kill me?" He begins to laugh like Kirel.

It's like adding fuel to my fire.

"Trying? Hmf," I say.

I'm a few yards away.

"I'm not sorry for this. Because guess why?" I question. He doesn't look like he comprehends what I'm saying. Dumbass.

"-This is what you get for being such an asshole!" I scream, and release my axe from my grasp after swinging it back.

His eyes widen, the tip of it is right where his head is, flying at the speed of light. His feet jolt and he starts to move.

There's a horrific sound as the axe collides with his head. He screams so loud, the Careers will be after me in no time.

As he's laying on the ground, dying, I stand over his body.

"And that's what you get for what you did to me!"

I can practically hear the entire Capitol gasping at what I did. Yep. I killed him. Yep. I can murder. Yep. I will.

Because I just did. I walk away from his body and peek around a tree at the Cornucopia, sneaking peaks at the Careers that are left.

"I'll bet that Amarack kid just killed his District partner," Hensa, the girl from 2, says.

"Yeah, she's such a weakling. She's staying up in trees, though. So be aware of ambushing," Kirel warns.

Hensa considers this for a moment. "We'll be able to take her down, and then. . ." She stops. They exchange an awkward glance, then grip the weapons attached to their belts at the same time.

They eye each other, and draw their swords. Kirel has quicker reflexes, and manages to jab Hensa in the arm after she turns quickly. She stabs him in the leg and drags it down. A steady flow of blood streams down his leg.

He lets out a sound of pain and collapses on the ground. And now I'm thankful all I have is a sprained ankle, which is bruised and swollen immensly.

"I'll get the boy," Hensa says. "See ya later, Kirel." She walks towards my direction and I slide to the other side of the tree as she walks by it, holding my breathe.

She obviously has bad ears, because she doesn't hear my sliding. Then I realize how she is all bloody, especially the ears. She must not be able to hear much.

With my silent feet, I follow her and peek at her from behind trees. This girl is a murderer. Halfway through her quest, we finally hear Kirel's cannon.

She laughs a horrible, evil laugh.

But you can't kill me.

She sets up her camp for the night and I pick a nearby tree. I'm ready to kill her at any time, but I think it may be of some use to see if she can kill those the District Eleven kids first. That would be a great relief.

But as she sets up camp, peers around for pursuers, obviously not seeing me, she lies in her sleeping bag.

I stay awake part of the night, thinking. She sits up, holding her sword. It's covered from top to bottom with Kirel's dry blood. It doesn't seem to affect her.

Me, either. I've seen a lot of blood and gore as of late. I wonder why people are so scared of me, besides I can kick booty. Maybe they can see the fight in my eyes. Maybe they know my story. No, they don't.

Nobody knows why I'm so mean.

Only me.

I was a sweet little princess of twelve years old. A girl with no muscles, no hate in her eyes. Always smiling. A girl who would wash the dishes for her mommy cause she cared.

People made fun of me because I was different. People threw things at me, told me I was stupid and fat. I worked out every day to get thinner. I finally did, but I gained a lot of muscle from my everyday runs. Now I'm a short, skinny girl with lots of muscle.

Amarack's the reason I hate everyone. He's rude. And if I'm a happy little girl, how can I ever expect something good to happen if I don't do anything? How can I expect people to be nice to me when I won't do anything back if they're not?

That's how I forced myself to push my guard up. And that's very handy in this world. I still see beauty in little things, such as flowers, and I'm not a total horrible person. Maybe I'll get better.

If I get out of here they'll send me to therapy, anyway.

My thoughts are smashed into a million pieces by a bloodcurling scream. Hensa on her feet immediatly, as I am up in the tree. I jump silently through the trees, which I'm now very good at.

"Samany! Samany!" I hear. Jace isn't killing her. I'm not killing her. Hensa isn't killing.

That leaves one very important question: Who- or What- is?

Hensa rushes towards where their voices are coming from, still not noticing me. Jace appears out of the corner of my eye, screaming his head off. But why?

I swin my head around the side of the oak tree I am, and Samany comes into my vision. Some kind of bear with sharper than sharp claws and larger than large teeth is chomping away at her.

Oh . My . . . Hensa gasps, and Jace turns towards her, tears streaming down his face.

Samany's cannon blasts, and Hensa and Jace are standing, thinking they're alone. Facing each other, there's no way to tell who will kill the other.

Since it's the middle of the night, it's hard to see. The bear muttation growls and opens it's eyes, which are a glowing bright green.

Jace kills the bear, and Hensa kills Jace almost immediatly by stabbing him in the chest right after he finished the bear off.

His screams force my eyes shut. Then I open them back up, watching as his pool of blood grows larger and larger, and there's nobody to help him.

Hensa and I both know one thing.

Only one more cannon.


One or two more chapters until I'm finished with Johanna's games. I might continue after that, if you guys want me to...

Please review & tell me!

Thanks.
