How do you do? Hello. What's up? Hey! Sup. Hi. *A few ways to say hello* I hope you had a good week. I am extremely sorry about not updating last weekend. My laptop still hasn't been fixed so I'm using my cell phone. Sometimes if I'm lucky, I can use a computer. Actually, during 'free time' in my computer class, I've been working on parts of the chapter. Further more, here is the complete chapter I've been piecing together these past two weeks.

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING OF THE HUNGER GAMES. EVERYTHING BELONGS TO SUSANNE COLLINS.


"Let the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games Begin." Now we're allowed sixty seconds to stand on our metal plates until we hear the sound of a gong. You are not allowed to move until that gong rings or else you're blown sky high into thousands of tiny bits of human remains. Can you imagine dieing before the Games even officially begin? It would be more horrible if it went like this: 3,2...(slips off plate)..BOOM!...1..GONG RINGS. I bet those barbaric Capitol citizens would love to laugh at that.

I look around me and see a lake slightly behind me and what seems to be some kind of cliff to my right. In front of me is the legendary Cornucopia. There are supplies scattered around it. It appears to be separated by their importance. Weapons and more important survival stuff are closer to the inside of the Cornucopia, while things of less importance are closer to the tributes.

I can see a two foot long, thick rope about five feet away from me. I don't know what you can use that rope for, but it must be usuable for something. I start to scan the tributes around me. About five tributes to my left I see Katniss gazing at something near the Cornucopia. I look the same way and see a bow and arrows. The only one there. That must be meant for her. I look back at her and just by the look on her face I can tell that she's debating whether or not to go after it.

She looks over at me. I shake my head hoping that she understands that I don't think its a good idea. I thought that she would've listened to Haymitch. Her face registers confusion. Then I hear the gong go off. Katniss hesitates before she runs off towards the bow and arrows. Shit! Why couldn't she listen to Haymitch? I take off running towards the Cornucopia after her.

Halfway there, someone tackles me to the ground. I flip over and see the boy from District Seven. He has a lightweight ax in his hand. He swings it at my head, but I roll over and instead it wedges deep into the ground. While he tries to yank it out of the ground, I try to stand.

I regain my feet and he let's go of the ax and tackles me down again. He starts punching my face, hard. Being in wrestling, I know exactly what to do. I put my arms over my face and when I feel him weakening I grab him by the shoulders and throw him off of me. He lands next to his ax. While I try to stand, he frees his ax from the ground.

He raises it and takes a swing. I duck. Out of nowhere the boy from District 2 sends a spear through the boy's chest. He nods his head as if saying 'you're welcome'. I nod back. I run towards him, but something catches my eye. I turn my head and see Katniss being attacked from the girl from District Two. I run at her. The boy from District Two sees the same thing as well and runs at her too.

We both reach her just as she is about to take off after Katniss. He begins yelling at her. She then turns to me.

"I'm sorry. I didn't recognise her. I was taking aim at anyone who's not my ally," she says sincerely.

"It's okay. Just remember the deal," I say harshly. They better keep to the deal. I follow them to the Cornucopia. Once there I'm handed a knife. I slide the knife into my belt. The boy from 2 grabs a sword and a spear.

"Cato, over here." The boy from District Two turns his head to the girl from 1. So that must be his name.

"Clove follow me," says Cato. The girl from his district follows him. I guess Clove is her name.

"What do I do?" I yell at him. He points to the boy from District Three and yells back to ask him. I jog over to him and dodge the remaining tributes who are clearing out of here, obviously not wanting a fight. I ask him what he wants me to do. He tells me to move the crates of supplies off to the side by the lake.

I do as he says. One by one I carry the crates and bins of supplies. The boy has me stack them up into what becomes a great, big pyramid. Halfway, I'm joined by Cato and the boy from District One. Once we're done, we join the girls who going through the weapons that are on the floor and the dead tributes.

I feel weird seeing all those bodies scattered across the ground. No movement. No rise and fall of their chests. No more. Inside of me something feels twisted and unnerved. I jump to the sound of a canon. Then another and another. I count a total of eleven canons. We move out to the sides by the lake. Above me is a hovercraft that grabs at the blood stained ground. One after the other. All the bodies of those innocent children are being lifted up and out of the arena. Gone forever from the world. I turn away from the final body that's being lifted away. I stare at the ground.

A moment of silence is all I can give them. Someone taps my shoulder, interrupting the moment. I turn around and see the girl from District Four. She has short light brown hair that's put up in a ponytail. During training, I thought her eyes were brown, but apparently up close they are a dark green.

"You okay?" she asks. I nod my head. I can't be seen as weak. "Alright." She nods her head and joins the others. My eyes scan the surrounding area. I take in a deep breath since this may be my last quiet moment before my body is lying in a wooden box that's being shipped back to District Twelve. Here I go. I walk back and join the group.

"Alright, shit's about to get real. First, grab what weapons you want. Then, we're going to need a schedule," says Cato. Didn't his parents teach him manners? My mother would kill me if she heard me or my brothers swear. That's why they only swore when she wasn't around.

One time I was walking home with my brothers and their friends. I was only half listening to what they were saying because I was watching Katniss out of the corner of my eye. They were talking about something from wrestling practice. I don't remember exactly what my brother Seth said, but he said it loud enough for the surrounding people to send questionable looks his way. Then his friend Avery said rather loud,"Seth, don't fucking curse so loud. Do you want the
whole fucking town to hear? Shit, Seth." Then they all burst out laughing. I walked away from them because I didn't find
it funny.

I slightly shake my head to clear the thought and remote my attention back to Cato. "After us four will do the hunting for now." he motions his hand to him, Clove, and both tributes from District One. "Once Sheldon finishes with his job then you two can join us." He points to me and the girl from District Four. I'm guessing Sheldon is the boy from District Three. I simply nod my head in agreement.

A couple of hours later, Cato, Clove, Marvel , and Glimmer are out investigating the surrounding area and me and Lucile are watching Sheldon rewire the launching plates that we dug up for him. I recently found out their names from hearing them talk to each other. Surprisingly, he finishes right when they come back.

"Now, you're sure that this will work?" asks Marvel nervously. "It won't kill us if we try to take food from the bins."

"Don't worry nothing will happen to you. Only if you know the proper path to the food bins," he says matter-of-factly. He
looks at our lost faces. "I'll show you." He walks through between the plates that he wired into mines. He touches one of the bins and then walks back out. "Easy," he says.

We all take turns learning the path with Sheldon instructing us on what to do. I began to get that feeling that someone's
watching me. I turn around quick enough to catch a glimpse of red quickly moving through a bush. I know that it has to be another tribute. I don't say anything to the others because I don't want to see anyone else die today.

It becomes twilight pretty quickly. Clove suggests the idea of hunting tributes at night while they're sleeping. We all agree to go, but Lucile says that someone should stay to watch the camp. Sheldon volunteers for that.

As we take off hunting, I notice what weapon Glimmer has. She has Katniss's bow and arrows. I need to find a way to get
those to her.

We run for what felt like an hour with short breaks every now and then. Then we hear the anthem play. We tilt our heads
towards the sky. The Capitol shows headshots of the tributes and their District number below headshots come in order.

First is the girl from District Three, then the boy from 4, and the boy from 5. Then both from 6 and 7. I look away when I see the boy from 7. I watched him die right in front of me. After that is the boy from 8 and both from 9. One last tribute to go. The girl from 10 appears. Okay Katniss is still alive. Well, of course she's alive. She's a survivor who's going to win this Game.

They play the anthem one more time and then the sky goes dark. We take off at a jog. We go deeper and deeper into the
woods. Is it just me or does the woods look evil at night like branches might grab you out of nowhere and then you're never heard from again.

We've stopped for a break again. Suddenly we hear the pounding of rushing feet on the forest floor. I pull the knife from my belt and the others ready their weapons. It's a pack of wild dogs. Cato rams his sword into one of the dogs. Marvel sends a spear through a dog's chest. Clove hits the other dog right where the heart is. Glimmer fails to shot any of the dogs with her bow and arrows. I don't think she knows how to use them. There are two dogs that are both attacking Lucile. She only has a small knife with the blade split in three to resemble a trident.

The two dogs circle her. The other Careers are all preoccupied with their own dog. She tries stabbing the dog in front, but the dog behind her tries to bite at her arms. I grip on my knife and with my other arm I grab the dog around the middle and stick the knife into its throat. It drops dead to the floor. I look at my hand that just killed an innocent thing. Then I remember that it wasn't all innocent. The dog was attacking Lucile. I think I sort of saved her life.

"Thank you," says Lucile. I look up at her. "Your welcome." Is all I say. I bend down and flip the dog over. I pull out the knife and I don't even bother to clean it before I slide it into my belt. She pulls out her knife as well. Clove notices that we need to be fixed up.

We decide to make temporary camp. I put a bandage on my arm where the dog scratched me. I don't even recall the dog
scratching me, but the evidence is there. Glimmer and Cato get first watch. Good I wouldn't mind a few minutes of shut
eye. Anything could happen at any time.

I lay down and put my left arm behind my head. My eyelids become heavy in the matter of seconds. I fall into a dreamless sleep. I am soon shaken awaken.

"Up! Everyone up!" Cato calls. I immediately look around to see what's wrong. I don't really see anything disrupted, but
then I notice the smoke. Some has lit a fire in the distance. I doubt it'd be Katniss. She's too smart to do anything like that. That person is practically asking to get killed. Whoever it is probably doesn't have much supplies for warmth, so he or she had to build a fire to stay warm. Now that I think about it, it is quite cold out here.

We quickly pack our gear and head in the direction of the fire. By the time we're in view of the tribute. Dawn has begun to break.

"Lighting a fire isn't exactly a smart plan," says Cato. She looks completely scared out of her skin.

"Please. Please don't kill me. Please!" she says with tears rolling down her cheeks. Cato is shaking his head with a smile on his face. While doing that he does this kind of clicking inside his mouth repeatedly.

"Sorry. That's not how you play this game."

The girl tries to make a run for it, but Clove and Marvel grab her arms. She screams really loud. They bring her to her knees while she continues to scream.

Taunting her, Cato traces from her ear and her jawline down to her chin. She's screaming and crying. He takes his sword
and runs it through her stomach. The girl collapses to the ground. I shut my eyes and try my best to get rid of the image of what I have just seen. They all start laughing and calling out celebrations. "Twelve down and eleven to go," calls out Clove. Then they all start hootingand hollering, but I just stay quiet.

"Check her for supplies," says Cato. We do as he says, but the girl didn't have much. She had a small bag of dried fruit, which Marvel puts in his bag. She had a box of matches, which Glimmer claims, and a sharp long rock that I guess she used as a makeshift knife. Cato, just tosses it aside.

"Better clear out so they can get the body before it starts stinking," says Cato. The others murmur in agreement. Again I stay quiet.

We begin walking out through the trees again. I get that strange feeling of being watched coming from the trees around
us. I start scanning the trees for the source. Then, I hear the rustle of leaves and I look in that direction. The others debunk it as the wind blowing through the trees, but I get the feeling it's another tribute.

"Shouldn't we have heard a canon by now?"

I strain my eyes to see through the foliage. All I can make out is a slight silhouette of a head and shoulders.

"I'd say yes. Nothing to prevent them from going in immediately."

I'm pretty sure that it's a girl by the hair.

"Unless she isn't dead."

From the looks of it, her hair is fixed into a braid.

"She's dead. I stuck her myself."

It can't be. There can be any other tribute out there with a braid.

"Then where's the canon?"

"Someone should go back. Make sure the job's done."

It can't be her. It just can't be.

"Yeah, we don't want to have to track her down twice."

There is that chance that it could be her.

"I said she's dead!"

If I've spotted her, it won't be long until they've spotted her too. I have to get them away from her.

"We're wasting time! I'll go finish her and let's move on!" I say interrupting their argument. They all state at me in disbelief.

"Go on, then, Lover Boy. See for yourself,"says Cato. I don't like that name, but I don't say anything against it. I take off walking back towards the girl.

When I reach her, she is in fact still alive. I take my knife out of my belt. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes. I stab her through the heart. She is for sure dead now.

I am not a killer. I killed her out of mercy. She would have slowly and painfully died. I ended her suffering. I repeat this to myself.

"I'm sorry." Then I walk back to where the group is waiting. Just by the way they all silenced when I show up, I can tell they were talking about me.

"Was she dead?"

"No. But she is now," I say. Then canon goes off to confirm what I just said. "Ready to move on?"

They nod their heads and we take off at a run. I successfully lead them away from what may or may have not been Katniss. But, what would I do if we ran into her again and the Careers don't keep to their promise? I hope we don't cross paths again until I have a plan, but the Gamemakers would most likely make sure it happens.
