The scenery was beautiful. To her left was a forest of lush trees, each bearing fruit that probably was deadly. In front of her was a cliff that had golden leaves floating upwards from it. To her left was a river about twenty yards wide. In it were rainbow colored fish that were at least a foot long.

The horn sounded and twenty-four boys and girls sprinted to the center. Sophie was easily the fastest of them all and managed to reach the center first before the others came. She quickly grabbed an SMG she recognized as a PP-Bizon along with corresponding magazines and a pile of 9x19mm bullets. She then ran away from the center just as everyone else was approaching while grabbing a black backpack. Sophie then ran to the river and ran down the side while looking over her shoulder.

After about two miles, Sophie came to an open cave. The hole wasn't enormous, but it was big enough to be seen with a slight glance. 'I should get some rocks and cover the hole for the evening,' she thought to herself. Then, a cannon went off.

Ten times the cannon shot. Ten deaths. Sophie then remembered her backpack she grabbed and slung it off, dumping out all of the contents. Inside was a small canteen of water, some crackers, a box of matches, and a karambit knife with a sheaf. She stuck the knife on her belt, and started collecting rocks to block the cave.

After an hour of work, Sophie was finished. She looked up at the sky to see that night had just fallen. The Capitols' anthem started playing and she looked up at the sky. She looked up to see the dead tributes. The boy from one, the girl from two, both from four, the girl from six, the boy from nine, and both from eleven and twelve. Sophie covered the hole again, lit a torch, and wrote in the journal that she had obtained.

'Day 1:

The games have begun and I'm off to a good start. Armed with an SMG and a knife, I'll probably out-gun anyone except for the winners of the bloodbath. As for a plan, I don't have one yet. All I want to do is survive for now. Survive, kill, and win.'

A/N: Well, here's chapter two of the story so far. I hope you like it, even though it took me all of twenty minutes to write it. Either way, summer's here, so I'll have more time than during the school year to write. I'll probably get out another few chapters before I run out of ideas. Either way, I'm Dr. Derpington, and I'll see you next time!
