Okay so round 2 of current tributes. Go!
Caren's PoV:
Dripping with sweat, I haul myself away from the river. Ali had been training me to fight better. The sun is falling rapidly and Raven swings in with the usual warning. When this happens, we have to haggle with Ali to hide from the Careers. But today she was in a warlike mood and so I hid instead with all our supplies. I hear swinging and silence fell for three whole minutes.
My mind is racing. A rustle alarms me and the Careers appear in the grove. They surround Ali and she begins to fight. With an array of throwing knives and a sword, she was incredibly good. But I see her turn.
And a spear tip is poking out of her chest. Right at her heart. The Careers loot her and take her sword and knives. Good thing she had nothing else. I catch a glimpse of the Career that shot her. A white haired boy of 18 with murderous tendencies. I think his name is Alex. After the coast was clear, I mourned her. I waited for the cannon and as sure as death, it rang. My only friend's face filled the sky.
