I come down and relieve Blight so he can get some sleep and collapse into a chair with a plate of breakfast. Looks like there was only one death during the night, the boy from 6, Sonia and Beal's tribute. I notice that they're not in the common area; they must have gone upstairs to sleep. I check out my two tributes who are on smaller screens on the bottom left. The map shows that the closest tributes are 10 and 3 but they're still about half a mile away. Good thing I'm on duty right now, means Snow can't sell me to any of his "friends" while I'm on duty. Once my tributes are dead then I'm fair game for him. What I wouldn't give to bring an axe into those hotel rooms with me… Onscreen Spruce and Salvia are going through Spruce's backpack. Canteen, full water bottle, iodine, sleeping bag, crackers. They eat what's left of the loaf of bread Salvia grabbed at the cornucopia and share some water. The decide to follow the stream that's feeding the swamp hoping to find cleaner water for their bottles upstream. Spruce keeps the bottle in his pack and he gives Salvia the canteen to strap to her belt. Finally they get to a point where the water looks like it's clear and stop to fill up their containers and wash their faces.

"Spruce, we need food," says Salvia.
"I roll my eyes, stating the obvious much?" I think.

"We heard the careers pass by last night, they didn't come back, they may have left their supplies unguarded," he says. Salvia looks up at him with a wicked glint in her eyes.

"I'm game," she says, "you?"

"Totally" he answers and jumps up. "We should stay in the trees though until we can see their camp, make sure their gone." He and Salvia scramble up into the trees.

I kick Brutus's foot to wake him up. He sleeps with a knife, I don't want to be too close. When he jolts awake I tell him "My tributes are about to stage a raid on the Career camp."

"Your tributes are about to be dead then," he says and snorts.

"Maybe not because all four Careers went hunting last night and didn't leave anyone to guard the supplies. They still haven't come back," I tell him breezily.

"Where the fuck are they, what are they doing?" he growls and he gets up and walks over to their small screen on the right side of the larger one. What they're doing is sleeping out in the open like a bunch of arrogant idiots but I'll let him find that out for himself.

"They're sleeping? " he yells. He sees Enobaria stepping out of the elevator. "They're still sleeping and 7 is going to raid their camp!"

"How far away from camp are they?" she asks.

"About 3 miles ,"I tell her "and they're out in the open just asking for the game makers to get bored and send something after them."
"How could they be so stupid?" Enobaria asks no one in particular.

"They're arrogant," Haymitch pipes up from his couch. "They think everything and everyone is afraid of them." Enobaria is about to respond with what is no doubt a smartass comment when a spear flies out of a tree and goes right through Levi's chest. "What the?" screams Enobaria, her hands balling into angry fists at her sides. Cashmere comes running out of her booth and stands next to Enobaria. The spear thrower was the boy from 4, Finnick's interesting little tribute. He's running through the tops of the trees so he's a good 50 feet away when the cannon sounds and wakes up the rest of the Careers. Shine screams when she sees her district partner impaled by the spear. She keeps screaming until Tansy and Meranda run over and shut her up.

"Who did that?" Tansy whispered loudly.
"Whoever it was can't have gone far, let's go find them!" Meranda whispers back and shoves a knife into Shine's hands and practically drags her through the trees. They give up after 15 minutes or so and decide to return to the cornucopia and keep their camp there for the rest of the games. Shine cries when she watches the hovercraft pick up Levi's body. She follows the girls back towards their camp but her mind seems to have left the arena with her partner. You can tell she's just blindly following the other two, lost inside herself and her grief.

I look at Cashmere. "Did they know each other before the games?" I ask.

She sighs. "Yeah, they were friends. Both 17, in the same year at school, Levi was friends with her brother, he was at their house all the time, they grew up together." She slumps down into a chair and watches as the girls head back to camp.

Finnick has seen the whole thing from the table where he's eating breakfast. Cashmere stands up and turns to him "That kid is dead Finnick," she hisses.

Finnick just laughs and says "They have to catch him first!"
