A/N Happy Hunger Games! I so happy I finally got this posted for you all to read and I hope you like it!

I dedicate this chapter Diana Woods because she always reads what I write and she has an amazing story.

Kalla Rinn, 13 y.o, District 1

When the gong sounds, I race to the Cornucopia. There is no way I wouldn't go in for a fight with so many beautiful weapons just waiting for me. I'm the first one to reach the middle of the horn, which allows me to pick out of the best weapons. I wish I had more time, but I can tell people are coming so I quickly pull out a sword, stick it in one of my belt loops, and grab a knife. By that time, someone is right behind me.

I spin around and I'm about to let my knife fly when I see who the person is. It's the girl from District two: Lillian Rosewood. She too has a knife and I can tell that she is probably much better at using it than I am. Thinking quickly, I spit out the first thing that comes to my mind.

"Can I join your alliance?" She starts to run to behind the Cornucopia and I follow her. "Is that a yes?" I call out. Once we reach a point where no one is following us, she turns towards me and nods.

"Welcome to the team. Try not to get killed on the first day." I don't have time to respond because she runs back out to the front of the Cornucopia. I don't think I could do much damage from down here so I climb the Cornucopia till I'm at the top which isn't easy because it feels like ice.

"Wow," I whisper to myself. Below me is a murder scene. Some people are fighting, some people are chasing, and some people lie dead. But then I smile to myself. Lillian is talking to one of the bigger and taller guys which means I must be allied with them. That also means that if I don't do my part, they could kill me.

I walk to the edge and look down. There is a spear on the top of the pile and I grab it. I don't think I'm going to have to use it when I spot the weakling from District three: Iceabelle. What better way to show that Lillian made the right choice by allying with me than to kill somebody. Before I can think anymore, I throw the spear. It cuts through the air and sticks itself in her left arm. She screams out in pain and pulls it out. It wasn't the death blow I had been hoping for, but at least it was something.

For the next few minutes, I watch the battle from high above the others. I know I should be feeling bad that I hurt someone, but instead I feel great knowing that my sister will have to watch that on the television tonight and know that I'm not the weakling she thought I always was. There is no doubt in my mind that she would have been dead by now. Oh yeah, she would have been dead within the first few minutes.

After awhile, I decide to climb down and see if there is anything warm I can put on. I doubt it is even 40 degrees. Once down, I walk to the front and start to look. Eventually I find a dark blue sweatshirt and I put it on. Never in my life have I been more happy to see something this hideous.

Suddenly, I'm knocked to the ground from behind. My face slams into the dry dirt and my nose starts to bleed. I start to scream and try to break free of the person on top of me. As much as I try, I can't get free. The person flips me over so I am facing them and my breathing stops. A boy I have never scene holds me down. He is large and is holding a trident in his right hand.

This is it.

I close my eyes and prepare myself for the pain that is sure to follow when I hear someone yelling from a distance. My eyes open and I can see Lillian running towards us.

"What are you doing Axel?" she screams, pulling him off of me.

"Trying to make it easier for us to win," he replies. His voice is deep and has no emotion.

"She's on our side!" Axel looks down and me and laughs. Without another word he walks away, leaving me with Lillian. She grabs my hand and helps me to my feet.

"Thanks," I say, wiping the blood from my nose.

"No problem. You should probably come with me to get water though, just to be safe." I nod and we head towards where my plate is. Behind it there is a long, fast moving river that must be where we are going to be getting our water from.

When we reach the water, Lillian hands me two canteens and I fill the first one with water. Just as I am about to fill the second one, I notice the patch of berries to my right. I stand up and walk over to see if they are edible. They are a dark purple that I notice from back home. I smile and grab a few. These berries are poisonous.

I squish some of the berries in my fingers and let the juice drip into the canteen. Once I'm satisfied with the amount, I fill the rest of the canteen with water and head back to the others.

The fighting at the Cornucopia has stopped and everyone looks exhausted. Lillian is busy passing out water to everyone so I don't bother her before I go forward with my plan.

"Here," I say, handing the poisonous water to Axel. He grabs it out of my hands and starts to drink. After a few sips his expression changes as he realises what just happened.

"You son of a-" He never gets to finish.

His cannon fires and he falls to the ground.

"What just happened?" One of the big guys yells as his eyes look over everyone. His eyes lock on mine and I suddenly notice I have a grin on my face. "Did you just kill him?"

"Oh god Kalla you didn't." Lillian says softly.

Before I even have the chance to defend myself, the boy starts to run towards me. I sprint in the opposite direction, sudden tears spilling down my cheeks. This can't be how it ends.

The boy is on me in less than a minute. He pins me down- his large body crushing mine. Tears continue to fall out of my eyes. I don't think he notices.

The knife hits my throat.

As the life leaves my body, one face floats past my eyes: Ellie, who had told me to trust something, anything or anyone. For the first time in my life, I wish I had someone to trust.

But it's to late for that now.

"You were right, Ellie, you were right."

My cannon fires.

A/N I hope you like it because I'm writing with a cold which isn't that smart of an idea. Please review!
