Day 2 (Jewell's PoV)

The first day of hunting. The weather was much hotter than yesterday, but it was still pretty decent. Nothing would get in my way, I mean our way –wait, no I don't. My way. I was going to be the one who would end up winning.

All five of us had chosen one person who was specifically our kill. Since Archer was from Maizey's district, she picked him. I didn't mind though. I wanted more of a challenge anyway.

Finding him was easy with the help of my newly earned GPS. We found him by a small lake. He seemed to be filling up a container with water.

Maizey grabbed the set of throwing knives from her bag. She aimed, then fired….and then missed. How could she miss? He wasn't even twenty feet away.

"I'll get him this time," she assured.

Her knife ended up even farther away from him.

He began to look around frantically. He could tell we were here, but he couldn't see us from behind the trees.

She threw three more times and none of them even came close.

Daxon, extremely fed up and worried the boy might run off and hide, took the last knife and chucked it straight into his heart. Archer's cannon went off and he was dead. Simple as that.

"Oh yeah!" Maizey cheered as if she actually did something. "We did it! That was so easy." She stepped foreword tor retrieve her knives.

Worth just rolled his eyes.

"OMG! We are doing so good. I bet I can totally win this-" but at that moment she tripped over a twig, hit her head against a rock in the lake and landed in the water face down.

We stared at her not feeling compelled to drag her tiny unconscious body out of the water.

"She's gonna drown," Worth stated.

"Oh well," I shrugged and picked up one her knives. The others picked up the rest and headed back to our base.

None of us felt bad for Maizey or mourned her death. She was no use to us anyway.

(Zilla's PoV)

From not even ten feet away I saw her. The dirty blonde braid, the piercing blue eyes. I knew exactly which tribute it was. Scoria Zimmerman, the girl who had been watching me all week. I was done for.

"Chrissy," I hissed nervously. "Get back, one of the careers is here."

"What," she looked up, alarmed. "Who-" but she was interrupted by Scoria stepping over the plants surrounding us, holding a gun.

I closed my eyes and hoped it would be quick, but instead of a gunshot, I heard her sigh.

She lowered her weapon. "I can't do it."

I stood there speechless.

"You're just too damn innocent," she said in frustration.

"Me?" I asked confused.

"Yes, you!" she exclaimed. "I've been watching you all week and I can't understand it! The way you're so childlike! The way you're afraid to hurt anything. The way you look like you need to apologize to the training dummies if you ever hit them. I just can't kill you." She slumped down looking completely torn and stressed.

Chrissy and I looked at each other, exchanging awkward and confused glances.

"Well," I spoke up, "if you're not going to kill us, why don't you join us," I offered.

She thought about it for a moment, then smirked and said, "Well you guys do look like you could use a fighter. Sure, I'm in," she agreed.

Chrissy pulled me aside. "Are you sure you trust her?" she whispered.

Scoria had been scaring me for the past week, but suddenly I felt safer around her, and even though she hadn't said anything about Chrissy, I knew if she wanted to kill her, she would've done it already.

"Yeah I trust her," I replied.

"Then I do too," Chrissy responded, "because I trust you."

The two of us sat down with her.

"So you thought I was one of the careers?" Scoria asked me.

"Well you are from a career district," I told her.

"So are you," she said simply.

"Yeah but you volunteered," I pointed out. "And you got a high training score," I added.

"I guess you're right," she told me. "The careers did want me to ally with them, but I turned them down."

"Why," Chrissy asked.

"Because I don't like them." She said matter-of-factly. "Plus it won't be long until they start slitting each others throats in their sleep. I think I'd much rather be in alliance with you guys," she added.

We were a weird alliance, no doubt about that. Three girls with almost nothing in common, but never the less, I kind of liked it.
