David Fall, 16, D9M

I really can't believe she just up and left, she was just gone when I woke up and I heard a canon a few hours later. What happened to her? It is the final eight but I never expected her to just up and leave me in my sleep, she even took some crystals and only left me with one. I guess when I see the faces in the sky tonight I'll know what happened to her, but surely she couldn't have died right? Kim is too good for that, I know she's only a thirteen year old girl but surely she wouldn't have died so quickly.

I guess it's for the best that she left, I wouldn't want it to just be the two of us.

I don't know if I could ever kill Kim if I'm completely honest. I just don't think I could. I'm thinking to myself as a parachute drops falls in front of me, nothing has really been happening with me but I know I'll have to kill again soon if I want to get home. I don't know who it will be but I know it will happen, with my crossbow and bolts, however I'm running out of those. However as I open the parachute I'm relieved by what I find. An extra four bolts and fire wood. It's a sign that I need to find water and boil it. Kim took the last of our water with her but I don't hate her for it.

I'm not too dehydrated however, but it sure is getting hot, I know the Game makers had something to do with this temperature. And then suddenly the anthem blasts across the arena and my head instantly looks up towards the ceiling to see who died today.

Kim Shae, District three

I feel like the whole world is collapsing around me, she actually died. But then again wasn't she supposed to die? I know I wanted to go home but... she was just a little girl, she didn't deserve any of this. None of us did. "Good bye Kim, you'll never be forgotten." I say as I lean against the cold hard floor and look at the Kim's face in the sky. She doesn't deserve to be forgotten.

As the anthem plays its final strands all I can think about is the poor girl who's now gone forever. I never knew her but she was so small and so innocent, I hope she didn't die painfully. But I feel guilty, I feel guilty because I feel a pang of pleasure in my chest because it means only six people stand in my way of getting home. Six people and then I am free. I know a little girl had to die but I'm getting closer and closer to coming home. I promised I'd win it for Aya and I will. I hold my glaive in my hand, lucky for me I still have about a litre of water in my bottle. I slowly let myself lay on the floor. It's so surreal, I thought I would be dead and Aya would be the one on her way to victory.

I feel a lump in my throat every time I think of my deceased twin.

More than enough.

I then sigh to myself as I let myself slip into sleep.

Just six more people stand in the way of victory.
