We walk further into the forest and Martin hears rushing water, he runs forward and a trap springs, he is caught dangling upside down,

"Right me and Alex will keep guard" Rochelle says

"Okay" I reply

I start to cut him down but in the corner of my eye I see Rachael in a tree laughing and holding a spear about to be thrown, so I stop cutting and throw the knife at her, it hits her arm and blood starts to pour out.

"Well done Mellark, I see you have finally shown your guts" Rochelle says,

I grab another knife from my bag and cut him down,

"You alright" Alex asks

"Yes thanks" He replies

"We need to be more careful and by the look of things we are not safe around here, let's keep moving!" I say.

We carry on walking and the sound of water gets louder, I lead the pack and push aside a huge leaf the size of a door, to reveal a waterfall and a lake. We walk out and search for signs of other tributes but we can't find anything so we put our coats and bags down and strip off to our undies for a swim,

"Hey, hey, hey Mellark I can see why he likes you" Rochelle laughs,

"Yes isn't she just gorgeous" Alex ads

"Oh yeah!" Martin says

"For a non well-nourished girl you have a figure to die for!" She says

"Thanks honey!" I reply back

I start to wrestle Rochelle into the freezing water but she turns it around, gets me on my back and pushes me underwater so I do the same back. Everyone starts laughing and having fun in the cold water and we wash our cloths and dry them and wait for our bodies to dry. We get dressed again and grab our bags as the Careers arrive across the water; Rachael isn't bandaged up because Leah has got the bandage in her hand teasing her with it. Rachael's arm is still bleeding badly and I am starting to feel a little bit sorry but she did aim at me with a spear so I suppose I beat her to it.

Todd sees us and they all start running over to us through the water, we run as fast as we can and all climb up separate trees but he follows Martin up the tree like a tiger hunting a gazelle. They get to the top and Alex, from across the trees, lobs a spear but it misses Todd and it lands in Rachael's neck. Killing her instantly. Ash runs to her side rocking her while Todd whacks Martin across the head, hoping he will fall to his death but he clings on for dear life.

I jump off the tree I am on and run to the tree that Martins on, I climb up and Alex shouts for me not to but I don't listen. I grab Martin and pull him the other side of me so he can use me as a shield,

"Move out the way Mellark!" He shouts

"No, you will have to go through me first!" I shout back

"It will be my pleasure" He snarls

He takes a lunge but I dodge it so he falls off the tree. He lands on his feet and calls his troops to come away while he curses and walks away.

We all jump down to watch them leave and start to converse,

"I told you not to go up!"

"I had to do it, for Martin"

"We could have lost you!" Alex shouts

"And we almost lost Martin!" I reply and he then shuts-up.

I walk over and hug him while Rochelle and Martin start walking.

"I just don't want to lose you!" He cries

"You wont, you won't" I repeat.
