A/N - Just a small taste of what I have come up with so far. And to the guest who thinks I do too much in unnecessary details, that's how I write, sorry.

As the tube takes me up from watching Cinna get beaten, I can only squint my eyes at the brightness before me. I shield my eyes, waiting for them to adjust to the brightness, trying to see whatever I can. All 59 of us are spread out in a huge circle surrounding the cornucopia at the center. Only it's on a little island, literally as we are standing on pedestals in water. That explains the one piece rubbery suit. I keep looking around; to my left are snow-capped mountains with pine trees trailing down the slopes and at their base. My right, well it looks like a desert of some sort, cacti and dull green bushes and trees with hills of hard-looking sand. I try to turn my head enough behind and see a picturesque beach with giant palm trees just behind it. But I can't see in front of me, as the cornucopia is in the way. It's as if they built a section for all of us, somewhere that each of us is familiar with and it makes it even more terrifying of what could be hidden in there.
The countdown starts to be announced from twenty. I haven't seen Peeta or Gale for that matter, so they must be on the other side. All I can hope is that I can swim fast enough to the center and meet up with him there. I know the seven Victors from District 4 will have the real advantage here, but no one will be expecting me to know how to swim.
As soon as the buzzer sounds, I dive into the water and swim as fast as I possibly can the twenty or so feet to the center. I don't know the name of who's next to me flaying about, splashing water every which way, but I leave them behind quickly enough. I am just about to heave myself up onto the mini-island when I feel a hand grab my arm and look up into sea green eyes. It's Finnick, with Annie behind him, holding a spear. She looks crazy, as if she's going to use it on me, but Finnick calms her down and she focuses on the others making their way to the island.
"Allies, right?" He asks as I make my way to the cornucopia and search for a bow and arrows.
I nod, "What the hell? These are all weapons? There are no real supplies here at all!"
"I know, we already checked. I've taken out two people already and here come another." He explains as I duck and he throws a knife into someone behind me. Annie is screaming but isn't in any immediate danger that I can see. I take aim, watching as some unknown man gets up on the sandy haven. The arrow makes a clean shot straight to his heart and he falls back into the water. I can only think to ask Finnick, "Where's Peeta?!"
"He was not too far from us, on the other side!" He yells as he fights off the alcoholic from District 5. It doesn't take much to kill someone who isn't trying too hard. I run to the other side, greeted by a man named Titus, who has four knives in his hands. I duck just in time, feeling a knife rip through my braid and shoot him straight in the gut with an arrow. I don't think I've ever shot anything so close up and have to push him back so he stumbles into the water as well.
Then I see him, Peeta, looking around himself nervously as he tries to figure out how best to get to me. I should have known he couldn't swim, why didn't I teach him that instead of climbing in trees? I yell over at him, waving my arm, "Peeta! Jump in, the belts are floaters!"
He can't hear me with all the sounds of fighting behind me and I know someone else has joined Finnick in taking down enemies. I'm pretty sure it's not Annie though, as I can still hear her screaming. Finnick runs past me, "I'll get him, keep an eye out here, mommy."
Oh right, I'm supposed to be pregnant with Peeta's baby. I feel as though I'm just shooting at the fake targets in the archery station back in the training station. I don't know everyone's name, but I take out three more that attempt to make it to the island before Finnick comes back with Peeta. I did notice that people have scattered to the four different areas.
Peeta hugs me quickly and then I tell him to pick out his choice weapons since that's all we have here. His eyes go wide, "What? No supplies, water?"
"Nothing like that. I think they meant for us to all just kill each other and get it over with." I admit, having realizing it just then. I finally take a look as to what the other side shows. Fields, green and beige, fields upon fields. It makes me think of Rue and that my theory is right, they made this arena to fit where everyone lives.
