Ch. 2

Katniss's P.O.V.

Oh yeah, another "game" where I can get killed.

This time the arena is much like a desert. Which is not so good, because that means they probably made water harder to find than normal, so I'm guessing many people will die from thirst. As it counts down to our last seconds, I think wheter I should go for the bow, or run to find water.

I decide I should quickly go for the bow, and then find water. I could use some type of weapon. I run, and surprisingly get it without someone trying to kill me. Huh, that's a shocker. I run away, and nobody is running crazily at me yelling die Katniss! So it's all good.

So now I run for water, but I look around to see if I can find anyone who I made friends with when we were training, so we could ali. Well, I don't see Peeta, but I do see Annabeth, and she's with some guy. They are running together away from the Cornicopia. Ok, I guess I'll go on my own. So I do. I run until I feel somewhat safer than before, and I than start walking, searching for some water. Silence. I don't hear any screaming, so the bloodbath is over, but now the careers could be anywhere. I suddenly hear some trickling sound-yes. I hear water running. I head to the left, because it seems that's where the water is coming from.

"Katniss!" I hear someone shout, "Come with us! We can be allies." I look around and see Annabeth and some guy. So they were looking for water also. I walk towards them.

"You scared me when you shouted my name! I thought you were the careers and I was about to die!" I say.

"Oh, sorry." Annabeth says.

"It's fine...who are you?" I ask, gestering towards the guy.

"I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon."

"Oh, isn't he the god of water?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"Then you must hate this arena!"

"I do, but I could find the water, it's in my blood." he says. Ok...

"Did you grab anything at the giant thing-ma-jig?" Annabeth asks.

"The what?"

"You know, that giant thing in the middle, where all the weapons are." she says.

"Oh, the Cornicopia? Yeah, I grabbed the bow." I said, showing the bow.

"You got the bow? Um, if I were you I would stay away from Thalia." Percy says.

"Yeah, good idea. Did you grab anything?" I ask.

"We grabbed this bag, it has a few water bottles, some matches, other stuff, but here, you can have it, we have our own." Annabeth says, tossing me an empty water bottle. We all fill are water bottles up at the water pond thing, when we suddenly see the careers heading our way. They haven't noticed us yet, but I hope they never do.

"C'mon, let's run." I whisper to Annabeth and Percy.

"Why? We can handle them." they say.

"Maybe you two can, but me, not so much. I mean I can shoot them with my bow, but not now and not all of them." I explain.

"Well with you and your bow and us with are skill, we can take them down." Percy says.

"Ok...but if one of us dies right now, I'm blaming you!" I say, kind of joking, kind of not.

"Hey! Look! More people to kill!" some career notices us and shouts.

We head towards them, my bow ready for action. Then all of a sudden, the "leader" it seems, of the careers stops, and they all follow him. He looks scared, and he whispers something to them.

"But Mac we can take them down together!" I hear some girl say.

"Not now, let's go." he says, and they turn around and walk away. What was that?

"Ha, they better go away." Annabeth says.

"Do you know why they stopped?" I ask.

"Yeah. Remember when some guy hit you at training?" she asks.

"Yeah." I say.

"Well, that was him. His name is Mac, and I threatened him when you were unconcious, and that probably scared him. So yeah, we're ok. None of us have died yet." She says.

"What about Peeta?" I say.

"Or Danny, Thalia...possiblly Travis Stoll." Percy chimes in.

"Uh...with that thought, c'mon, let's go. Follow me." Annabeth orders and points behind me. I turn around and see why we have to go over there. The careers are heading towards some guy, and that guy doesn't know they are behind him.

"Isn't that Danny, Percy?" Annabeth asks.

Percy squints and looks over there, and all of a sudden his eyes open big and wide.

"Let's go." Percy says, and starts walking over there, with Annabeth and I behind him. I take it that's someone named Danny, Percy and Annabeth know him and care for him, and we have to help him.

Well, I would say I'm a pretty good guesser if I may say so myself, and we all walk over there to help him.
