~ So eleventh chapter- district-get it- well here we go arena time, I'm scared hold me! *hugs*
draw a line in the sand and then make a stand-
-Use your camera to spar-
-use your guitar-
when they act tough you call their bluff- "rent" rent.

I'm in the port tube room, where katniss would be sent to the arena. I'm doing her hair, in a simple trademark braid down her back.
I'm given katniss clothes for the arena, I help her dress in the undergarments, simple tawny pants, light green blouse, sturdy belt, and thin, hooded black jacket that falls to her thighs.
The material in the jacket's designed to reflect body heat. So expect cool nights" I say in a wavering voice.
I then pull out her mockingjay pin, from out under her clothes and pin it on her.
"That's a beautiful token, you know how I have the same one" I said, showing my making one and smiled fondly at it.
"They eliminated a ring from that district one girl, though. If you twisted the gemstone, a spike popped out. Poisoned one. She claimed she had no knowledge the ring transformed and there was no way to prove she she lost her token." I say, trying to make light conversation but not really making a good job of it.
"There you're all set, move around, and make sure everything feels comfortable."
"It's fine" she says.
"Then there's nothing to do but wait for the call," I say, feeling depressed for seeing her go.
"Unless you could eat somemore?" I said, trying to stale from goodbye.
I look at her she's scared... very. "Do you want to talk katniss." I softly whisper.
She shakes her head, but I take her hand anyway.
And then its time for the tube...and the goodbye I walk her over.
"Remember what Haymitch said. Run, fined water. The rest will follow," I say. She gives a nod in understanding.
"And remember this I'm not allowed to bet, but if I could. My money would be on you." I said, quoting cinna.
"Truly" she whispers.
"Truly" I say in a reassure way. "Good luck girl on fire." I whisper quickly, giving her a quick hug.
"now katniss, I have to go real quick but don't you forget what I said ok." I said, practically running next door and skimming around cinna who was going to say goodbye to katniss.
When I finally found piper and her stylist I nearly broke into tears. "If I may have a moment" I interrupted them. Walking in.
"Why yes" the man squealed, and walked out.
"Remember the plan" I say to her, taking her hands in mine
"Like I could forget" she replied back rolling her eyes.
And that was that, she got in the tube and she was gone. Not knowing her fate, and I cried.

Sixty seconds, that's how long I have. To see if I live to see tomorrow or die today, will anyone miss me, some might cry, scream, a little remorse but they'll live. And soon forget about me.
Forty seconds, I look to see vulpix to my right, and thresh not to far away. I make eye contact with vulpix, we made an alliance. I saw thresh look at me, and I give a small nod toward vulpix who gives a nod to thresh. We're all in an alliance together.
Thirty seconds I spot katniss looking, I give a nod of good luck. And she returns it, as like a peace treaty.
Twenty seconds, I can see the carriers; some are trying to intimidate the others. Some have there eyes on a weapon, I know who's going after who, I knew where there aiming at but will it be the same? or...
The question is, will I get there in time?" I ready my feet, I'm going in. thresh knows this and he's got my back. Vulpix will be heading north-west of us, at least five miles of here.
Ten seconds…. Will I live?….nine….. Can the plan work…..eight…..will it end like the book?….. Seven….. How can it change now that I'm here?…. Six…. I know what happens….. Five… I know what to do….. Four…my district, myself….. Three…. The whole country of panem…. Two….. Stop the hunger games… one…. Change fate.
And the canon sounds, everyone's off like a shot, some running away. Some testing there luck, like I am, and some just seemed to give up.
I get to the edge of the cornucopia, trying to remember everyone's where about, while trying not to get in the mess of things.
Before I know it, district three male comes after me with a thin knife, but he didn't even reach me.
As I said, thresh has my back. A sickle is lodged in his head, blood oozing down his face.
I want to scream but now is not the time for that. I spy a black bag, that was Farley large, and lift it over my shoulder it was heavy but I managed.
We escape but just barley, while the heat of the blood bath continued, gore and Wails of pain and shear horror, being left behind. Only if I could runaway from my memory.
Five miles we walked, scouting out where vulpix has gone. We don't dare call out, fearing for our safety and hers.
Then I heard a rustle in a bush not to far away, thresh pushes me behind him, which I don't protest to, I'm good at defense but I'm no match for a knife in expert hands.
But then I saw red hair, into princesses leis hair style (you know star wars).
"We're all here" I sigh in relief, catching my breath from the run. ok so I'm a little out of shape. but in my defense I Didn't think I'll be sent into a book where, I would be put into the hunger games. Which I did technically volunteer for, but I had a perfectly good reason!
"So what's the plan?" vulpix turns to me and asks, it seems that I'm the leader of the trio now.
"Field." I said, thinking aloud. Remembering the wide grain fields, which thresh hid out.
It would be a good hideout, till the plan commenced.
"Field, what field? thresh asked in confusion.
"I believe there's a grain field around here, my gut tells me" I said, half lying.
"Alright." said vulpix, a little uncertain, but willing. Thresh nods in trust, and I lead on.
Not really sure where to go really, since it was never directed in the book or movie.
"Get them out alive." I thought to myself. And that is what I'm going to do.
We didn't find the field right away, we ran into trouble such as man-eating plants, and crossing a shallow river, that you still had to swim at one point, I had to help them being the only one that could swim.
And after a hour, I think? We made it to a lush, golden field, plenty of food, safe (for now) and a perfect get away. Seeing that it was close to the invisible dome.
I learned all about the arena, thanks to Plutarch heavensbee on of Diana's supposed allies.
"All I had to now was, abide my time. And I'll be free from this nightmare... but not alone" I thought as I saw thresh and vulpix, stare in wonder at the scene in front of them.
"Just have to wait." then something struck my thoughts. Katniss she would need help, the tracker jackers... blowing up the cornucopia.
and now things got a little bit more complicated.

"they made it" I thought in relief, relaxing the pressure on cinna`s hand. I was with cinna, Portia, Effie, Haymitch, and soon the other past victors.
Just after the showing of the blood bath, the past victors came strolling in.
"Well that was a bust" finnick said. And I must say, everything about him in the movie and the book, are dead on.
"Both tributes dead" he carried on, flopping on one of the chairs.
"So are mine" Johann mason muttered, making her way to sit facing toward finnick.
"Both of mine still alive" chaff applauded himself, as seeder tried to shush him of his ignorant behavior, she couldn't help stop that achieved smile on her lips though.
"Your just lucky" said beetee, looking like the dork he was.
"Now beetee" said wiress, coming to stand beside him.
"Oh shut up" said Haymitch ready to take his first sip of liquor. Diana noted.
"She not lucky, she's ready and she knows what to do." I couldn't resists saying. coming to stand in front of them.
"Oh and who might you be" finnick said, a playful grin on his face.
"My names Diana and I'm not interested finnick." I say to him. He pretends to pout, but I pay no mind to his childish ways.
"As I was say, piper is more then ready for this, and she will get out alive" I say with truth.
"Oh and how does that work sweet heart" said Haymitch taking a sip.
Just believe me" I said. turning to walk out the room, leaving a room full of victors laughing behind me...
~ how you like It. got past the blood bath, how will she help katniss, will the plan work, will anyone learn the secret of the four girls from a different world ( except for cinna, Portia, the star family, and I think that's it) will fox-face, thresh and piper make it out alive? and if so, unscratched- I can answer that one N.O.) so stay tuned~ review~
