I awoke to the blazing sunlight looming through my window. For a minute, I forget what today actually means. It is the day where I could possibly die (aka going into the arena). I notice khaki pants, a black short sleeved t-shirt, and combat boots on the chair next to my bed. This makes me snap even more into reality as this is also the day that everyone dreads the most (well maybe except for Cato and Clove). But i guess I should fee more confident since I actually have some training experience unlike most tributes. That doesn't make me confident to the point where I become arrogant though. I quickly change into my outfit and everyone else is already out there eating breakfast. Everyone is silent including Tabitha, but I am the one who speaks.

" So when do we have to leave" Is all I have to say.

Finnick stood up and gave us the schedule of the day:

" So we are actually a bit ahead of schedule. The games start at noon which gives us plenty of time to go over tactics and last minute decisions. It is 9:00 now, at 10:50 we have to leave for the hovercraft which takes you into the arena. An hour after that, you will go to the launch room where your stylist will be. You then go up a tube into the arena and the games officially start after the countdown".

"How long is the countdown" Cody chimed in.

" A minute" spoke Finnick.

Both Cody and I just talked to each other for the rest of the time until we had to go. The almost two hours of time is the most I have ever talked to him. I also got to know his personality a lot better. When I asked Cody about the alliance with the other careers, he said that he is still in. I think that me and the others especially Cato were thinking that he was up to something.

The time has come to go to the hovercraft. Cody and I are separately escorted and when I get off the elevator, Finnick gives me a big hug and whispers " Cody doesn't stand a chance against you". I then walk up the latter and sit down where a peacekeeper tells me to sit. Soon Clove ends up right next to me and I tell her that Cody is still in the alliance. The word spread to Cato who was also on the hovercraft. Cody must be on a different hovercraft since I don't see him. The hovercraft lands and I am taken straight to the launch room where Flame is standing there trying not to cry.

" I would bet on you if I was allowed to" said Flame.

Over a speaker it announced that there is only 15 seconds until launch. I go into the tube and I notice the glass around me which prevents me from getting out. Before I know it, the tube started rising. For a split second everything around me was white but then I saw the grass and slowly saw the environment. It was a forest. Yikes, I was scared that they were going to make us freeze to death in a frozen wasteland or even die of thirst in a desert. Suddenly, a voice boomed:

" Welcome to the 72th hunger games. May the odds be ever in your favor, the countdown starts now".

10...

Cody is all the way on the other side of the Cornucopia.

9...

Marvel is right next to me.

8...

I see Glimmer and Cato getting ready to run in.

7...

I really miss my best friends.

6...

Mira is probably watching.

5...

Oh I miss my best friends so much.

4...

I'll just do what Cato said.

3...

I can do this.

2...

Here we go.

1...

Ahhhh!

0... the gong blasts.

I go straight for the Cornucopia. Clove hands me a couple knives and I manage to get hold of a trident eventhough I am not the most handy with them. Anyways, I run for the outskirts, trying to get the people who get a backpack or try to run away. Obviously, I am not going to run into the forest, since there is a lot that could be done right now. Screams of pain seem to corrupt when I see Glimmer being tackled down by who I think is the boy from District 8. I take action and end up slitting his throat. Marvel keeps time going as he is constantly stabbing three or even four different tributes. Only one can imagine haw many Cato has killed already with that sword in his hand. Blood is shedding everywhere, a signal that the bloodbath is almost over. Normally it lasts for around a half an hour. One year in the 50th games, the bloodbath lasted for longer than an hour and thirty minutes. But there were 48 tributes in that year so I guess that made sense.

At this point, there are no signs of anymore tributes. Cato tells us all to gather all the remaining supplies to sort out. I notice that Cody is nowhere to be seen. And so do the others. This makes me nervous since Cato seemed pretty suspicious of him in the first place.

"Carla, where is Cody" said Cato.

"Um..Um...I talked with him this morning and he said that he is still in the alliance" I stuttered.

"Well then whats the deal" Clove chimed in aggressively.

" Now everyone calm down, maybe Cody was trained alone and had a plan up his sleeve all along, when we find him he will pay" Marvel said.

Oh I am very thankful that Marvel said that. I thought that Cato and Clove would lose there temper with me. Man, what is it with District 2 and temperament. We all collected and organized supplies. Everyone came to an agreement to set up camp at the Cornucopia. Although, it is probably not even an hour past noon, we just sit down and have discussions about how many we killed and who everyone wanted to kill. Similar to the alliance meeting, we go over some tactics that we originally had planned.

" So we all know that the major threat is Katniss. Some others are Thresh and Peeta. But they aren't the real deal. Our goal should immediately be to hunt her down" I said.

" It will take some time to find Katniss, we all know that she won't be stupid to light a fire or be in an obvious location. For know at night, we should go tribute hunting and kill anyone we find" Clove stated.

Before I knew it night came and everyone was getting ready to go tribute hunting. I volunteered to guard the supplies but everyone else wanted me to come with them. Cato, the great leader he is mutters curse words in anger to Glimmer and we started running around the forest. In about an hour we run into a tribute. It was Peeta. As I got out my knife Cato made us stop.

" Why shouldn't we just kill him. One less tribute we have to worry about" Clove and I shout in unison.

" SHUT UP BEFORE I KILL BOTH OF YOU" Yelled Cato.

" The reason why I don't want to kill him now is because he could be useful. Fire girl, his district partner is the one we are looking for all along. So, maybe he knows where she went and can lead us to her" Cato says.

I look around to the rest of the group, and they nod in approval of Cato's idea. Peeta also may know how Katniss got that 11 and what to expect if she ever tries to attack us. Ahead I see smoke arising from one area. This can mean one thing. Someone made a fire. Geez, they are making the game too easy. I alert the others and everyone starts running to the fire, Peeta lagging behind a little. A girl comes into sight when we are really close. As expected, the whole pack makes an entrance. Cato grabs his sword and gives it to Glimmer who proudly uses it and plunges it into the girls stomach. Her scream left everyone laughing.

" Please don't kill me, please don't kill me" Squealed Glimmer imitating the tribute.
