I have been really busy lately, I've been doing stuff and working on my stories , which I have rewritten over a THOUSAND TIMES! Enjoy! (This is in Obsidian's POV)

I woke up from a tap on the shoulder, Marigold was standing by my bed, with tears in her eyes. Then I realized what day it was. The games. The games. The games. "Here's your uniform, I had to bring it for you." She put it on the nightstand next to my bed. "I love you, Obsidian. If I can't win with you, will you win for me?" "Of course I will." I got out of my bed and pulled her close, I let her cry on my shoulder. "One last kiss?" She asked me, I only nodded my head in reply. I kissed her and forgot about everything, the games, our fallings, our despise. I didn't want to pull away, but I had too. I remembered my vow, to protect her at all costs. "I have to go now, I'll see you in the arena. I hope." Marigold walked away and out of my room. I looked at the tribute's uniform for the year, a shirt and a pair of pants, like what I would wear at home. I put it on and found Septimus at the door. "It's time, come with me." He told me, with a tense tone of voice. I didn't protest and followed him out of the apartment, we up to the rooftop, where a large plane was waiting. Septimus lead me to the plane and walked away, he put two fingers to his lips and held them in the air, "Good luck." The peacekeepers in the plane put me in a seat next to the tribute who arrived before me and they put the tracker in my arm. The plane started to fly, all the tributes sat in silence, doing absolutely nothing. I kept glancing at Marigold and Spikelet, who were signing to each other, they must have been planning our strategy. The plane flew for continuous hours, until it finally landed in a remote location. I was lead in a underground room where my stylist, Charcoal was sitting. "Charcoal?" I looked at her in awe. "Nobody can know I'm here. Marigold wanted me to give you this." She held out a wire bracelet. "It was her parent's friends bracelet, he died in the games, so it was given to Indigo." "Thank you." I put on the bracelet, I didn't realize I didn't have a token, I was glad that Marigold had done that, she had given me Topher's man bracelet, the most famous bracelet in Panem. "Walk into the platform, you don't have all day." I walked into the platform as I was told and it closed around me, I started to panic. "Good luck." Charcoal mouthed and the platform started to rise. I got my first glimpse of the arena, it was a barren city.

The gong sounded and I headed towards the cornucopia, I was ahead of most of the tributes and grabbed a spear and a blowgun, for Marigold. I could feel a arrow land on my arm, I screamed in pain and ran away, not wanting to get injured anymore. I ran into the city and found Marigold, Spikelet, and Rebekkah on a bridge, they were waving for me. I ran to them and we decided to keep walking while we discussed our plan. "We're going to find the end of the arena or at least somewhere close, we'll find someplace safe place to stay for a while." Spikelet explains. "Good plan," We walk to the other side of the bridge and find houses, lots of them, but we keep going, they could have been traps. We walk for miles, nobody has followed us. We ended up in another neighborhood, a nicer looking one than the last, the sign said "Cherry Hill" We walked down inside and took a look around. "You think it's safe?" Marigold asked. "I think it is." I replied, I held her hand and we walked further down the road, all the sudden we heard a rustle in the trees. Rebekkah and I guarded Marigold, Spikelet ran into the woods and only a few minutes later a cannon sounded, there must have been somebody back there. Spikelet runs back to us, with blood on her hands. "What did you do?" Rebekkah asks "I found the District 11 male tribute, I choked him to death, I forced him to tell me what he was doing. Apparently he wanted to kill Marigold, let' s keep going." We walked all the way to the end of the neighborhood, there were six houses all looked empty and safe, but they might have been traps. "We have to pick a house, we don't have all day, tomorrow we have to go even further down the arena, we have to make it to the end." "Let's go in the red one, it looks safest, I can tell." Marigold replies We all walk up to the red house and open the front door, there wasn't a trap waiting for us like we expected. I looked at the the sky, the dead tributes displayed before me, I was glad it wasn't any of us. Yet.
