10.

We managed to find a large enough clearing for the two of them to lay out their sleeping bags. It's lined with tall pines trees and littered with pine needles and soft dirt.

Night has fallen and I am staring up at the night sky through a small whole in the tall trees. The moon shines down but I can't see the stars because of the clouds. I hope it doesn't begin to rain.

Beside me Ivan is sitting up keeping watch, his back against a big tree and his big jacket pulled across his chest. I snuggle deeper into mine waiting for the Capitol anthem to start, the temperature has dropped rapidly since the afternoon. Its a good thing I managed to get a sleeping bag, Ivan too.

Together we went through Ivan's pack to split supplies. He got a sleeping bag, a water bottle, gloves and rope. He gave the warm gloves to me which I found very nice. I gave him some food but kept my first aid kit, I would need that for myself.

The anthem starts and I sit up straight, none of my allies met up with us during the day and I had begun to worry.

The sky lights up and they begin to show those who have died today, no one else died during the afternoon. All the tributes from 1, and 2 survived (no surprise there) the boy from 3 died which makes me sad, obviously both from 4 are fine. The girl from 5 is dead as well as the boy from 6.

I feel tears prick at my eyes when I see Alec's face, at least Oak survived. Both from 8 and 9 are dead. I actually cry when Alyssa comes on the screen. She never really stood a chance though did she. Finally there is the boy from 11 and both from 12.

"12 down 11 more to go" Ivan says happily as I sink back into my sleeping bag and the sky goes dark. I can't help but feel disgusted with him, all the poor innocent children. Whose families are watching right now, who were just alive this morning. Who had hope, who all had the hope that they would make it home.

Soon rain joins my tears and I pull my rain sheet over my head. I cry silently into my sleeping bag, just in the next few days my face could be appearing in the sky.

I forcefully push the thought from my mind and attempt some sleep, before my turn for watch is needed. Eventually I fall into a fitful slumber.

"Run! RUN" I hear Ivan yell and I jump up in my sleeping bag. I glance frantically into the dark forest and I see them, huge bear/ dog like creators running our way.

I frantically pull my bags on my shoulder and grab my sheet and sleeping bag in my arms. Ivan runs forward and takes my sleeping bag from me, his already away.

I don't have time to thank him before he has taken off in the opposite direction from the mutts, I don't pause before sprinting after him.

I hear the footsteps behind me and the growls, I know they're gaining ground, I can here it.

We stumble through the dark before a figure joins us, I don't bother to see which tribute it is, I can only focus on the mutts behind me.

The tribute falls behind us, not being able to run as fast. I slow down and look bag meaning to help them but I'm too late. A large black mutt has leaped and captured the tribute in its paws. The rest of the mutts gather around them excitedly, drawn by the tributes screams.

Ivan must have noticed I stopped because he is soon by my side and pulling me forward.

"This is our chance, come on we can't help them anymore" he says frantically while pulling me forward. He must have by accident dropped my sleeping bag because he no longer has it. At least I still have my rain sheet.

I let him pull me away from the scene as I sob. The tributes agonized screams filling the air, I cannot believe I am not helping. I struggle against Ivan's grip meaning to go back but he continues to pull me forward, he's too strong for me.

"Just let me go" I plead through my sobs "just let me go if I die it will be one less for you".

I expect him to let me go now but his grip just tightens "no" he snarls "what kind of person would I be if I did that?".

I don't bother to feel bad about thinking he would so something like that. Sure he's nice but he's in the arena now, someone like him doesn't bother with morals.

He pulls me through the forest, I stumble along behind him. Tripping on roots and branches at least my pants are protecting me from the poison ivy.

He guides me forward a while before he stops. I stumble forward when he lets go of my arm. I stop myself from falling and look up at what Ivan is staring at. A huge oak tree with branches splaying out in every direction.

"Climb" he snaps while pushing me at the tree, then to I hear the howls and trees breaking from the way we've come and a cannon goes off. They've finished with the other tribute and are now coming for us.

I frantically start climbing the tree, fear and adrenaline coursing through me. I manage to make it into one of the top forks in the tree before the mutts appear in the clearing. Ivan is still at the bottom of the tree.

"Climb" I scream and he starts to climb the tree. He's a lot heavier then me so slower, he's going too slow!

I shut my eyes as a mutt lunges at him and a cannon sounds. Oh no not Ivan I frantically think 'don't leave me alone'.

A/N: Cliffhanger hehe ya I'm sorry but every story has to have some! Disclaimer: I sadly don't own the Hunger Games or Annie but I do own the story and games ideas and some tributes :) thanks for all the wonderful readers! R&R
