I'm gonna have to run through my list now, and cross out who I've killed off. S'all getting a bit wild!
I'm not sure if my pacing is quite right, although I did get a lovely review from someone telling me it's good, but I may have gone a bit fast through this bit, but I'm trying to get through to the good parts :) I hope you all enjoy reading it!

After a while, we realise we should move again, and I pack up what's left of the rabbit and refill all our water bottles, ready to head back into the forest.
I contemplate following the stream a little more, but I know at one end or another, we'll run into more tributes, and I still don't know if I could bring myself to kill someone.
We move a little slower now, full of rabbit. We still walk in silence, but we're holding hands now.

We get a little further through the forest, when I hear a buzzing noise. I recognise it as the sound a bee's nest make, but we're in the arena, and I know they aren't bees.
I stop Brittany, and look around for where the nest is placed, and see it high up in a tree, about 20 feet away. I point, and she nods.
While we're trying to figure out how to get around the nest without disturbing whatever's inside, the canon fires, and the nest becomes agitated. Then there's voices, coming from the direction the nest is sitting in.
"Shit, shit, shit" I look around, for a place to hide and quickly realise we're going to climb. I turn to Brittany, who's looking just as panicked as I feel, and push her towards the nearest tree. "CLIMB"
She starts her ascent, and I grab the tree next to her, shimmying up. We're barely hidden when Blaine runs into view, bleeding heavily.

"Blaine!" He looks up to where we've perched, and a large piece of his right arm is missing. He scrambles blindly at a tree just under the nest, trying to find a grip but it's too late, the careers are on him, hacking away at him like he's a piece of meat on a butchers block. Brittany looks like she wants to scream, but she holds it in. I see red, and taking out one of my knifes, throw it at the junction where the nest and tree meet, it severs it cleanly from the tree, and it starts to fall. Rachel looks up in time to see the nest falling towards her, and dives out of the way, through the trees and carries on running.
The two from district 1 and the boy from district 4 aren't as fast, although the district 4 boy, manages to break away with only a few stings, following the direction Rachel went in.

I watch, somewhere between awestruck and horrified, as what can only be described as giant mutant wasps attack the two tributes from 1 over and over.
Neither of us move, even after the hive has gone, seemingly dropping dead after stinging them. We stay in our trees, staring wide eyed as the canon fires, and the hovercraft appears, removing the bodies.
I feel numb. I just killed someone. Even if I hadn't injected them with the poison myself, they're dead. I feel the branch I'm sitting on dip, and I realise that Brittany has moved to sit next to me. I don't say anything, and she wraps her arms around me, whispering in my ear that it's okay.
It's just a single tear at first, but it opens the floodgates, and soon I'm sobbing. Brit just rubs circles on my back, waiting for me to cry myself out, like I had done for her the night before.

Long after the tears have stopped, we stay sat in the trees. The screen comes up, telling us about who we've lost today, but I can't look at it. I can't think about that family in district 1 who's children won't be coming home, because of me, Sam and Stacy Evans, gone, along with Kurt, and Blaine. When I try and close my eyes to sleep that night, all I can see is Blaine's broken body, and those mutant bees attacking those tributes over and over.
I don't sleep.

It's early morning, when I hear it, just before the sun comes up. It sounds like trickling, at first, and I wake Brittany, alarmed. She looks down at the floor, where water is seemingly running from nowhere, and we quickly realise what's happening.
"Going up?" She asks. I nod and quickly ascend through the trees, to the very top. When we get to the top, I look around. Five trees down, clinging on and looking a little bit worse for wear, is the couple from district 5.

"Lovely day for a climb!" I exclaim, catching their attention. The girl laughs.
"What do you think it's gonna be?" The boy shouts across to us, smiling slightly. "Flash flood? Wave?"
I laugh a little, then look into the distance, seeing water rising. "It's definitely a wave." I wrap myself more securely round the tree, making sure I can hold on if it hits this high. I see everyone else do the same. The wave is rolling now, and it doesn't look like it'll hit that hard where we are.
"Good luck!" Brittany tells everyone, watching the wave roll in.
In the distance, I can see two figures trying wildly to climb the tree. It looks like a boy and a girl. It's the tributes from district 3. They scrabble at the tree, trying to get a good grip when the wave hits them. The girl is flung from the tree almost instantly, and the boy scrabbles to keep hold of her, but it's too wet, and she slips out from his grip, crashing with a sickening thud into a tree behind them. I hear him cry in anguish.
Thankfully when the wave hits us, it's slowed a bit, and the only thing that gets wet is the bottom of our pants. I sigh in relief as I watch the water recede, leaving the forest below us wrecked.
"Where did all the water even come from?" I wonder, and in answer, district 5's boy points to a crumbling wall.
"They built a dam? In here? Really?" I laugh coldly, even though there's nothing funny about it.

The canon fires twice.
