It's seven in the morning and the sun is rising letting the rays through Finnick's room shinning on his face, he slowly opens his eyes and stretches across his bed before getting up and showered.
Once he is dressed there is a knock on the door.
"Morning Finnick are you ready?" Mags whispers as she gently pushes the door open.
"Come in," Mags enters and beams a smile at him.
"Oh Finnick," she sighs and grabs him into a hug
"Come on Mags let's go before you make me cry"
…
Finnick arrives at the preparation room below the arena, the stylist Rochelle has just finished dressing him into his outfit and lifts his sleeve up to show his token.
"What a lovely token" She smiles. Finnick looks down at the bracelet
"Yea it was a gift."

The counter starts calling the tributes into their tubes, 7, Rochelle smiles at him as he walks into the tube. 4
"Good luck" She calls as the tube ascends, Finnick is in darkness until slowly he emerges into the sunlight, 60, he glances around him he can see grassland, a forest, 40,and around every tributes feet connecting to the cornucopia in the middle is swampland, Finnick quickly searches for any safe pathway towards the cornucopia , 20, there seems to be logs placed in between him and the cornucopia if he is quick and light on his feet it should take his weight and help him retrieve weapons before the others.

Finnick takes a few more deep breaths looks up at the counter, 2, 1, 0; he leaps on his podium and hops from one log to another balancing equally on both sides of his body not looking at any one but the cornucopia and the collection of weapons. He reaches the cornucopia at the same time as Brianna who had the same idea as he did about the logs, she quickly grabs a sword and some knifes, Finnick picks up a few swords and two backpacks before joining Brianna
"Took your time choosing didn't you." She giggles, she hurtles a knife in the direction of the boy from 5 and turns to Finnick.
"I was looking for something." No trident
"Didn't find it then, duck." She pushing him out of the way and throws another knife straight into Edilio's chest.
"You just killed your partner." Finnick stares in shock if she can kill someone from her own district without a bat of the eyelid what am I doing with her as an ally?
"He's a prick, sorry was a prick plus he was just going to kill you, I saved your life you could thank me."
"Sorry thanks bri." He smiles nervously. Porshe and McKenzie arrive followed by Genevieve so the five of them glance around and kill as many stragglers as possible, Mckenzie kills the girl from 5 with a swift hit with his spear moments before Porshe throws an axe at the boy from 10 both victims the age of 13 and both skinny and terrified. Finnick sees the boy from 8 creeping up behind Brianna with a knife he quickly takes a throwing knife from her and throws it towards the boy and buries into his stomach the boy crumples to the floor moaning softly as the life leaves his lips, Genevive rushes to his side and puts him out of his misery by stabbing him in the heart with a dagger. Brianna tuts and shakes her head.
"Why did you do that? You spoilt the fun."
"He was dying."
"And didn't you hear the moans of pain, so satisfying and Finnicks first triumph and you cut it short." Finnick looks towards Genevive.
"It's fine you did what you felt was right." He gives her a smile which Genevieve returns but quickly looks down at her feet when Brianna gives her a venomous glare.
…
The stars are out and Finnick is sat in his tent eating some of his share of the food from the cornucopia, the five of them have 10 apples each, a few packets of jerky, and some beans. Once it was divided up they all clambered into their individual tents to enjoy their food alone, Finnick left his tent open so he could keep an eye out for danger or surprise which was a good thing to do as once he finished his Jerky he heard a noise like a bell he peered out side to find a package drifting from the sky to his feet, it was an odd shape and very large he looked at the label.
I didn't forget
Mags x
He gently opened it up and gleaming back at him was the shiny metal trident he saw in the training room. He grabbed it with both hands feeling the soft familiar feel of holding a trident. He hears a noise and looks up to see McKenzie clearing his throat.
"Are we disturbing your intimate moment?" McKenzie sniggers
"I didn't hear you come." Finnick looks at the rest of them staring at him in awe or jealousy. Brianna scowls at him.
"Why did you get that? Why didn't I get a weapon all I got was some stew!" everyone laughs but Brianna doesn't get the joke.
"Trust you to be jealous your fighting for your life and your most bothered about getting a present than being grateful that your still alive." Genevieve snaps she was going to say more but was cut short when the seal of the capitol appeared in the sky and showed today's dead tributes
District two : edilio
District five female
District 8 male
District 10 male
District 12 female
"Who killed her do you think?" Porshe asks indicating to the girl from 12, everyone shrugs.
"She might have killed herself or someone trying to protect themselves probably no danger to us" McKenzie replies.
