Day 4

Falco Gael, 17, D10 Male

Barley was dead, and Shey felt responsible. I had taken over doing everything. We had a bunch of traps around our camp. Stitch came with me every morning and afternoon to check them. So far we had caught two rabbits. Yesterday, we cooked them and ate them. We hoped the fire hadn't attracted any Careers to the camp. Just in case, we set the fire farther away from the camp. Shey barely ate anything. She just wasn't built for the Games. Right now, Stitch and I were walking around, doing our afternoon checking of the traps. So far we had found nothing.

"Falco, look over there!" Stitch said suddenly, tugging on my arm. She pointed over to the left. There was a huge bear.

"We need to get out of here, now!" I said urgently. But we were too late. The bear spotted us. It roared and Stitch grabbed my arm. I felt her trembling.

"What are we going to do?" Stitch asked.

"You're going to go back to the camp and find Shey," I said.

"You're coming with me too, right?"

"No. I'm going to kill this beast."

She started crying. "But Falco, that thing's huge!"

"Go!" I said, pushing her towards the camp. She realized I wasn't going to give up, and she ran back. I drew my knife and heated it up using my fire. The bear was still sitting, watching me intently. But when I took out my knife, it freaked, getting up and roaring. But this time, instead of just air coming out, fire spewed out as well.

"I can do that too, buddy," I said, glaring at it. I threw my knife, hitting it square in the eye. It charged me, breathing fire the whole way. I threw my fire as it ran past me, hitting it square in the back. It turned around and charged me again, missing.

"Falco!" someone yelled. I turned around to see Shey running towards me. "Look out!"

I turned around to see the bear charging me. But it was too late. It hit me straight on. I felt my ribs break. It bit me in the arm. I looked down to see it gushing blood, only a stump.

"Shey get out of here!" I said weakly.

"No!" she yelled, tears streaming down her face. "I love you Falco!"

"I… love…" I started but couldn't finish. My vision slowly blackened.

Serena Waters, 18, D4 Female

The other Careers were so gullible. They believed my story about how Darwin died. Nobody even questioned it.

BOOM!

We all started.

"Who do you think killed them?" Cobalt asked.

"Probably that girl from 3," Sadie said.

"We need to find her," I said. "She's a threat that needs to be eliminated."

"Yeah," Ajax said. "We're hunting tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" I asked. "No. We go today. She could try to get to us today."

"Nobody will sneak up on us, Serena," Ajac said. "We're surrounded by water, and I know that the four of us could beat her in a fight. Plus we only have like an hour before sunset. We'd get nothing done."

"Fine," I said. "But we're going right in the morning tomorrow."

"Okay," Ajax said. "I'll take first watch, you guys go sleep."

Raylie Hatchet, 14, D7 Female

"There's a bear outside," Emalynn said, running into the back room that we were in. "and it's breathing fire."

"Well I don't believe that's what bears are supposed to do," I said.

"Duh," Jollin said. "Should we just stay back here and hope that it doesn't find us?"

"Yeah," Emalynn said. "But if it does find us, I bet with the four of us working together we could take it."

"I bet that's what killed the person that died today," Briar said.

Just then, the Capitol anthem started playing. I stuck my head out the window of the room we were in, looking up as best I could. The only face shown was the boy from 10. I came back in.

"Who died?" Emalynn asked.

"It was the boy from 10," I said.

"Oh," Jollin said. "He seemed nice."

"I wonder how his district partner is doing,'' Emalynn asked. "I think they were dating."

"Probably not great, then," Briar said. "If I lost Raylie I don't know what I'd do."

"Aww," I said. "Thanks, Bri. I don't know what I'd do without you either."

We smiled at each other. I wasn't ready to lose Briar. That's why he was winning, not me. His sisters definitely missed him. The Hunger Games were so messed up, I don't see why we both couldn't win. That would be amazing.

So it was more of a slow day today. But we did have a new mutt. What do you think of it?

Eulogy:

12th: Falco Gael - I liked Falco. He was really sweet, but way too protective. Thanks 04darkwarrior1!
