I Do Not Own The Hunger Games!

Jane Nakamura[D10 Girl]

Today is the day, the day that 24 tributes fight to the death, and I am in it. My name is Jane Nakamura; I don't even look like a Jane right? But my mom named me and that is that. Right now I am going into the clear tube that will take me into the arena. I took a breath and stepped in. It closed on me and I held my breath until it started to go up. When it went up I closed my eyes and tired to think happy moments with my whole family; my mom, dad, my older sister Jessica(18), and younger brother Martin(10). All of us smiling together and eating as a family should. Then all of a sudden the tube jerked and it reached the top. The sun shined on my face and I closed my eyes until I reopened them to find what I feared. All the tributes in a half circle together and in the dead center is the Cornucopia filled with any supplies you could grab. I looked to my right and then left, feeling nervous. I was breathing heavily and I felt like I was going to pass out right on the plate but I couldn't. If I did I could fall off my plate which then I would fall onto the ground and then I would explode; which is out of question. Then something beeped and on top of the Cornucopia was a big timer which had 60 seconds on it. It counted down.

I am almost crying into big, heavy tears but right now I can't. I am in a real life or death sentence and I can't lose concentration. I wipe my eyes and look towards the Cornucopia to see what I could grab in a few seconds and then bolt towards the forest. My eyes scanned back and fourth until my eyes get attracted to a yellow small backpack at the very right side, it is on the way to run into the forest. It's probably my best chance to escape the deadly Careers, is to get something at the edge of the Cornucopia and run for it. That's it, my plan will work, I hope. Time now is 45 seconds. I close my eyes to focus myself but my brain goes to mostly my siblings who cried for me when they came to say their last goodbyes. Jessica hugged me tight and gave a kiss on my forehead while Martin clung to me and had to be dragged out by my older sister. My parents hugged me, kissed me, and wished me good luck and not shedding tears though by their voices I knew they wanted to. Me and my siblings never fought over anything, we all got along very well together and that made us super close. Almost like identical twins but we are three people and different ages. But somehow we can read each others mind in any situation. I sighed and then my mind turns back to look at the timer. Time is now 33 seconds. My last thoughts before time runs out is thanking the person watches this world for my family and mostly my wonderful, awesome siblings who I wish good luck during and after these games and I hope they don't cry as much. Time now is 16 seconds.

0... Then all the tributes ran off their plates, including me. I ran past so many tributes I lost count. And in a instant I hear screams for help and some trying to escape Career hands, Careers who want blood and to kill as many as possible. But right now I am doing good because I haven't bumped into any Careers, they are all to distracted. By the time I got to the yellow pack I was huffing for air, but I couldn't stop running in the middle of a bloodbath. I got up as soon I got the backpack on and ran into the forest. I huffed and puffed, trying to make my legs go faster, though I couldn't, no matter how hard I try. I was almost into the forest when something sharp went into my right leg. I scream and fell to the ground, look over my back and looked what was in my right leg. When I looked I see a knife deep in my leg, and blood going down my leg as well. I looked up to see who threw it. My eyes go into the young girl from 2, Clove who is the knife expert. She is staring into me with cold eyes. But she doesn't move, and I am confused. Then it makes since, the boy from 2 is behind her, Cato I think. He walks past Clove who was going to argue to him but lets it go and ran off to kill other tributes. He kept walking towards me, I panicked and pulled the knife out which hurt but I got up. I couldn't run anymore because of my bleeding right leg, but I didn't give up. I limped as fast as I could, looking back to see Cato catching up. He wasn't even running, I was going to cry because I knew I couldn't escape him. He finally got to me right when I turned around one more time. And when I turned he swiped his sword across my chest. I couldn't scream but my eyes opened wide in shock, tears falling down my face, and I fell onto the grass back down. My eyes already had a hard time adjusting but I could make out Cato standing over me. I knew I was going to die but my one wish I have before I die is one day my family will get over my death and be the happy family that we were. Even without me I hope they can live together in happiness. Then my eyes looked up at Cato who raised his sword and brought it down onto chest. I didn't react but felt darkness take me, and I let it. Letting death take me…I am Jane Nakamura from district 10 and I died in the 74th Annual Hunger Games.
