Water drips down from the ceiling and echoes down the cave. The snow on the ground hadn't settled properly and melts into little streams that trickle into the cave. I go first. I place foot after another taking caution for any tricks the Gamemakers might of placed. The mocking tone of the birds is fading away. Agina starts to follow me. We both clear the steepest part of the cave and now can walk side by side. I drag my sword up so it only just clears the ground.

"So what illusion did the Capitol play on you?" Agina asks, I think she intended it as a joke. I can't talk about it. I shake my head. We continue. I follow the curve of the cave to see a little flickering light. I think it's a fire. I point it out to Agina and she whispers.

"Do you think it's a trap?" I shrug my shoulders and slightly shake my head. "Lets hope it's not." We walk further into the cave until we can clearly see the cornucopia. Whatever that flickering light was, we can't see it. I spot two girls searching the cornucopia. They're talking to each other. Quite loudly.

"Hey! What about this?" One says, throwing a backpack at the other one. She shakes her head.

"Do you think they're an alliance?" Agina whispers to me. I nod. "That's convenient. Kill them and its just us with the careers." I nod. I lift my sword up to meet my neck and Agina nods. I bring her back a bit.

"You go out and scare them. Do something," I whisper "They'll try and attack you. Try a bit of sweet talk. If that won't work and they wanna fight then let's see how they take me?" Agina nods and clears her throat really loud. I bite my lip so they don't hear me giggle.

"Who's there?" One shouts.

"We're armed! Don't try anything." The other says. Agina steps out into plain view.

"It's only me. I come in peace." Agina holds up her hands in a peace sign and I nearly burst into laughter. I put my hand over my mouth and continue to listen.

"Are you armed? Are you alone?"

"Yes and yes."

"Drop your weapon."

"But I am my weapon."

"So you're not armed?"

"I said I was. My weapon is me!" Agina puts her arms in the air above her head and spins around. I spot a dark shadow where they would not be able to see me but I could see them.

"Psst." I whisper. Agina tilts her head slightly. I point out the shadow. "Distraction?"

"What do you want?" A girl shouts.

"I want to alliance."

"No."

"Then I want you dead." Agina says. Both girls start laughing and Agina shoots her eyes at me then back to the girls. I run quickly to the shadow then stand up. They didn't see me.

"You? You are going to take on both of us with no weapon?"

"Well I do have a weapon."

"Yeah, yeah, you are you're weapon. Bla bla..."

"No. Well yes. But I have another." She says. I slip my hand down to my knife belt and pull out two throwing knives.

"Oh what is it? Your canary bird."

"No I had to eat him." Agina jokes. Both girls laugh again. I take the opportunity to throw a knife and it lands in one of the girls chest. She falls to the floor immediately. The other girl is still laughing. Her laughter dies down and she looks at Agina. Agina shrugs. The girl looks at her companion and gasps.

"What the hell was that for?"

"It's the hunger games."

"I'm going to kill you." She screams.

"You won't win. The odds aren't in your favour. Run away now or fight me."

"I'm going to fight you."

"And my friend."

"Friend?" She laughs. I throw a knife so it just skims her head. I put my sword firmly in my right hand and drag it along the floor.

"You said you were alone."

"I lied." Agina replies. I walk out from my shadow.

"Do you still wanna fight?" I ask. She shakes her head. "We won't fight if you give us information. Do you know about Ceres?"

"Yes."

"Do you know where she is?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Yes." I pause. A cannon goes off.

"Where is she?"

"I don't know."

"Then you're going to die." Agina says. She screams. I charge forwards and she runs away. I run faster and catch her. My hand pushes into her chest to knock some air out of her. She gasps. Her arms try throw punches into my face. I take my sword and slice her throat. She stops struggling and falls to the ground. A cannon goes off. I retrieve both my throwing knives.

"We're off to meet our old friend now?" I ask Agina.

"Seems that way."
