Boom
Sophie awoke to the sound of a cannon blasting off. That meant there were eleven people dead in total, thirteen left. She had almost made it through half of the tributes. She peeked out of the cave to see that dawn's fingers were just starting to peak through the line of pines that enclosed the woods she was in. She grabbed her bag and SMG, cleared the rocks from the entrance, and started to make her way back to the cornucopia.
It was close to midday when Sophie arrived at the cornucopia. Almost everything had been picked clean, but there were still a few things remaining. There were a bunch of magazines for her PP-Bizon that she had, meaning there was only one in the arena. Scattered among the ground were some stray bullets that didn't make it into the gun, along with a backpack that had been cleaned of its contents. Sophie grabbed the backpack and saw that a silencer and Glock had been left in it. Probably unwanted by whoever got to it. She loaded the Glock with a magazine, screwed the silencer on, and stuck it on one of her belt loops.
Sophie then noticed a discarded AWP a few yards away. 'Why would someone just leave the best gun lying here on the ground for someone to pick up?' she asked herself. She slowly approached holding her SMG in front of her for protection. Just when Sophie was about to reach it, heavy gunfire opened up by her feet. She quickly sprinted away and hid behind a wall of the cornucopia. The gunfire continued to pound the wall along with some voice commands. She held her SMG ready for any tribute but there was nothing. Sophie slowly turned the corner to find a tribute, who was standing there unarmed in front of her.
Boom
The cannon went off and he fell to the ground, his clothes immediately becoming bright red. Sophie started to retreat to the woods only to be shot in the foot. She fell to the ground and started screaming in pain. A tall, muscular boy ran up and towered over her. 'This is the end,' she thought to herself. He was going to kill her for the sport of everyone. She had no chance to win.
Instead he grabbed her by the arm, pulled Sophie up, and ran to the woods. He carried her in, while shooting a Desert Eagle behind him to fend off chasers. 'He saved me,' Sophie thought. 'He saved my life instead of killing me.' She then started to feel a bit drowsy and dozed off, with her being held in a random boy's arms.
