Jackie Tyler, Erisa Magambo, Madame Vastra, and Donna Noble all mourn the losses of their tributes, some more than others. Even if they didn't know each other well before the games, the week of training really made their bonds grow.
The sun rises on the second day, and Sally Sparrow decides to go over the things she's gotten from the Cornucopia. She managed to snag a small backpack, which contained a first aid kit, a bottle full of some energy-health drink, a loaf of bread, and a small knife. In addition, she got a package that contained a wool blanket and a sling shot.
Happy with her findings, she takes her pack and decides to continue into the woods. The landscape is mostly made up of frost, pine trees, and rocks, and it appears to be slowly climbing upwards. After traveling uphill most of the day, Sally decides to rest. She is cold at this point, the climate changing intensely as she climbs higher. The ground has more stone, and trees are sparser.
She looks behind her, and is surprised to see how far she's come. She can see behind the trees, from her vantage point, to see, off in the distance, a glittering golden spot, the far-off Cornucopia. She's come a long, long way.
Hungry, having only had a few sips of the energy drink to keep her sustained, Sally sits on a rock and eats some bread. Without noticing it, she ends up consuming half of the loaf. Cursing her foolishness out loud, she saves the rest, not knowing when she'll find more food.
Rose Tyler walks slowly towards where she heard the noise. It was a human's noise, she knew that. It sounded like a woman's voice, harsh yet quiet. She Rose move forward, she sees a blonde woman sitting on a rock. Rose saw she had a backpack full of supplies.
Rose only has a little bag, which contained a knife and a one-foot square cloth. Not much use for survival. But Rose had the knife. She crept forward, making sure not to be heard by the woman in front of her, whom she identified as Sally Sparrow. Once close enough, Rose attacks from behind and puts the knife to Sally's throat.
"G-Give me your bag!" she demands, nervous in her position of dominance.
In shock, Sally replied, "What… I don't…"
"I don't want to kill you. Just… Just give me your bag, and I'll leave you alone. I promise."
Left with no choice, Sally takes the pack, and tosses it behind her. It lands just to the left of Rose, who pulls it towards herself with a foot, not releasing Sally. Before she leaves, she apologizes profusely. Rose takes the backpack and runs away, further up into the freezing mountain. Sally remains where she is, too scared to move.
Down in the forest, however, River Song was having less luck. Someone was chasing her. She didn't see who it was, but someone had found her, and was on her trail. Dashing through the forest, she blindly runs into someone in front of her.
The two tributes tumble onto the ground, and roll down a slope. When they settle, River looks into the eyes of the other tribute, and says, with an ironic air, "Oh! Hello, sweetie."
Eleven and River stand up in a flurry, and River says, "Look out. Someone was following me." Just as she says that, someone bursts through the trees, brandishing two machetes, one in each hand, waving them threateningly.
Jeff begins to walk towards them, murder in his eyes. Eleven raises his hand, and points something at his attacker. From his hand, a sonic blaster releases a field of energy, blowing Jeff off his feet, and into a tree, knocking him out.
"Sweetie!" says River, surprised.
Eleven shows River his weapon. "Sonic Blaster. Good for three uses." He inspects Jeff, lying on the ground. "We just used one."
"We?" echoes River.
Eleven plucks the machetes from Jeff's hands, and gives one to River. "Yes. We."
So, River and Eleven set out in their new alliance, leaving Jeff underneath a pile of pine needles and pebbles.
Wilf, in the late afternoon, finds himself by a river. Glad to find water, and thirsty beyond belief. He kneels down by the river, and drops his sack next to him. He hadn't gotten much at the Cornucopia, either. Only a small sack filled with seeds. He'd been able to eat them, but they weren't very filling. Or good.
He plunges his hands into the water, then recoils. It is freezing cold. He puts his fingers in slowly, and withdraws water to drink, not caring about purifying it. He hadn't even gotten a weapon to use. He realizes now, that his only defense is not starving. He curls against a tree, and shivers against the dying light.
That night, no new faces appear in the sky. They all live to see another day.
