"Wake up, today is the biggest day ever!" Effie exclaims, when knocking loudly on my door to wake me up. Today is step 2 of Haymitch's plan, he said he'll tell me before we step on the hovercraft, which takes us to the arena. I get out of bed, and at the end of it there is some combat trousers, a plain black t-shirt and some brown boots, I have a quick shower and then I get dressed. I walk into the dining room for breakfast and sitting at the table is Haymitch, Effie and Katniss, Katniss is wearing exactly the same as me which I expected as it's usually what happens.

I sit down next to Haymitch and opposite Effie, I figured there sitting like that as talk would be awkward between me and Katniss, as within two weeks I'll be dead and Katniss will have won the games. I know I should fill myself up but I have a fear of if I eat to much I'll throw it back up, so I just have some bread rolls which I dip in hot chocolate. We say our goodbyes, to Effie and Haymitch, then me, Katniss and Haymitch all head to the roof where there's a hovercraft waiting for the tributes.

I stand on the ladder and I'm frozen to stop me falling (or jumping) off, as soon as I'm in the hovercraft two peacekeepers guide me towards a room where I see 11 other tributes, there's one seat left which I assume is mine, I sit down in it. When I've sat down a peacekeeper comes over with a needle, I have a massive phobia of needles but since I'm in front of half the tributes I can't show a weakness. She asks me for my right arm, I hold it up she inserts something into my arm, which flashes when it's under my skin. I assume it's some sort of tracker or sat nav thing, so that the people back at the Capitol can locate me.

When we've taken off a peacekeeper comes and takes me to a different room, it's small and has metallic walls in the corner I see a tube, standing next to the tube is Portia. I walk over to her and give her a hug as she's probably going to be the last person I see who does not have the intention of eventually killing me. I step back when I realise, Haymitch didn't tell me the plan so I have no idea of what to do.

"Portia," I say worryingly, "Haymitch never told me the plan, what do I do?"

"He told me to tell you that, when the gong goes run out of sight but make sure you can make your way back to the Careers so Katniss doesn't know about the careers. Then when the bloodbath is over go to Cato and he knows that your an ally." She explains, "just follow them, guide them through evidence of where Katniss has been but don't find her. One more thing, don't tell them about how good she is with a bow, that's a secret that needs to be kept."

I'm so thankful that Portia knows, it probably would have been better if Haymitch was the one to tell me but I guess it's half my fault for getting on the hovercraft first. Portia hands me a jacket, she says it's thermal so I should expect cold nights and the boots have good grip so there could be rocky/ slippery terrain.

An announcer says that we should prepare for launch, I give Portia another hug and step into the tube in the corner of the room. I look up, the arena is right above me, then the floor of the tube starts to rise beneath me as I near the top I'm blinded with sunlight. When the sun is finally out of my eyes, I see all the tributes in a semi-circle and these positions we will wait in for sixty seconds if we step off a second earlier we're blasted into ashes. The area surrounding me is just grass then surrounding one side of the grass is a forest and the other is tall thin grass. I glance around the tributes in search for Katniss and I find her, she is positioned to run for the Cornucopia sh can't though she'll die. She glances over and we make eye contact for about ten seconds the timer is on 5, I shake my head.

She looks puzzled, 4 . . .

3 . . .

2 . . .

1 . . .

The gong goes and she sighs I take one last glance back before taking off for the edge of the woods following Haymitch's instructions as I stop just at the border line, I tur to see Katniss wrestling another tribute for an orange backpack. I see Clove and she flings a knife into the back of the other tribute which throws Katniss back, she's on the floor with no where to go I think it's all over for her, when Clove releases the knife Katniss raises the back pack to sheild her face and the knife stabs into it. Clove is shocked at Katniss's reflexes and gives Katniss enough time to jump up with the backpack and run off to the woods. I lean against a tree andsigh, Iguess I'll be hear a while, the sounds are horrid you can hear people dying every minute, when it's about midday I get up as the canons fire to signal the end of the bloodbath, I don't bother counting as I've got a job to do.

As I walk over to the Cornucopia Marvel and Glimmer are poised to fire when Cato puts there weapons down and seems to be explaining to them, "We need him, he knows Fire Girl he can get to her."

"I only agreed to ally with the Careers nevermind a District 3 boy and a Lover Boy," Glimmer replys. "But I guess your right, we do need him whether I want to admit it or not the only way to get her is to ally with him."

"Welcome to the Careers, Lover Boy!" Cato says and I imediately hate the nickname and know that I will for my entire time in this arena. "Help us move the supplies, we want it piled high and in a pyramid. Come on!"
