Hopefully it doesn't seem too rushed, like I said I have loads more romantic/fluffy planned after Annie actual Games. How long do the Games last anyways? Weren't Katniss's and Peeta's games two weeks? Or something like that.

Thank you so much for the reviews! I can't believe I already have 50 and this is only the seventieth chapter! I really appreciate them

Annie Cresta

Taking Garran back to camp reminded me of when I took Finnick back to camp, there was a lot of stumbling, and a little bit of laughing. I knew I shouldn't have been giggling considering I was in the Hunger Games and I should be watching my back, maybe it was just the nerves or shock from yesterday's brawl.

We came back to the camp maybe an hour later. We were just coming up the encampment when I noticed a small figure dangling from one of my traps.

Alanna.

I gasped and looked at Garran. What would he do? Would he kill his own District partner Alanna, or would he have the decently to ask me to do it instead? Well I wouldn't do it. I would not murder a little girl.

Garran and I stared at each other in shock. He finally said quietly "Please don't kill her. She's just a little girl."

I almost whooped with joy. "No! I don't want to anyways."

When we came besides Alanna, her eyes were squeezed shut and she was muttering something.

"Alanna?" I whispered.

Her eyes shot open and she flinched "If you're going to do it, please do it quick."

Did she think we would actually do something like that to her? To murder her? I brought my ridiculously large bag on the ground and brought out a knife.

Alanna winced and whispered "I didn't think it would be you Annie. Out of all of the people"

I frowned "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm letting you go."

Her hazel eyes lit up "Really?"

Garran nodded "Yea. But I'm terribly sorry, you can't take a lot of the supplies, Lilac would notice and she'd have our heads. You can take an apple or two and one water bottle. I'm sorry it has to be this way."

Garran and I both got her down as swiftly as possible. It was sort of easy because of how small and light she was.

I hugged her "Get as much distance as you can from the others Alanna." I paused "Go… uh, that way!" I pointed to the opposite direction to where the rest of the pack was.

She took off running. Hopefully I'd never have to see her again, because if I did, it probably wouldn't be a pleasant meeting.

Garran sat down on the grass and I dug through the supplies, I didn't know exactly what to do. So I brought out the first aid supplies and peered in. I grabbed some of the little purple pills. It was pain relieving pills. I popped two out and gave them to Garran.

He nodded and drank from bottled water "Thanks Annie."

"You're welcome."

But what for the swelling in his ankle? It didn't appear to be broken, but it was swelling. I picked up a square plastic sheet. It was filled with blue jelly and had a small metal piece that was shaped like a circle, I brought it out and presented it to Garran "Do you have any idea what this is for?"

He squinted and his eyes lit up. "Oh! We have those in District 7. There ice packs, you push the metal bit and it spreads coldness around the plastic bit. We put them in our lunch packs and it keeps our drinks cold when we go to work and cut wood."

I nodded and cracked the metal bit. The plastic instantly started to feel colder. I placed it on his ankle and Garran sat back and relaxed "That feels much better," He murmured "Thank you."

I looked inside the box again and grabbed the same type of device expect it was filled with red jelly. "I'm guessing this one is for warmth?"

Garran nodded "Yes. It's very nice for the winter." He paused "It feels good to see something familiar in this unfamiliar place."

I knew what he meant. If there was a sudden ocean that sprouted up from the ground I would be very happy and lucky girl.

There had to be some sort of body of water somewhere, there must be some up by the damn, but there had to be some hidden somewhere else too. Tomorrow I would ask the group if we could go and check it out. Hopefully they'd agree with me.

"Na, let's go check out the other side of the area first. We'll go there after."

Seriously? Did Lilac have to disagree on everything that I said? It was the next day and maybe she was so grumpy because she was on watch most of the night. I'm surprised she didn't kill me in my sleep.

Maxem shook his head "I think that's where most tributes would be anyways, where water is held."

Thank you Max! Lilac seemed like she wanted to ague more but everyone else agreed with us so we took off as soon as we all ate and grabbed out packs. Beef jerky, water, and dried up mangoes, delicious.

Last night Lilac, Wyatt, Simon, Kanda, and Maxem found two people last night. The boy from District 8 and the girl from 10 were now dead too. Apparently their deaths were bloody and brutal. Ten people were gone. Thankfully Alanna wasn't one of them. It seemed to be going too fast. Soon the pack would split up and we would all kill each other. I didn't want that. I needed to think of a plan. Maybe I could slip away into the night in a day or two and hide like Mags did. But I didn't want to leave Maxem or Kanda.

We got to the damn a few hours later. It was enormous and probably held hundreds of gallons of water. The damn was made out of concrete and seemed to be a little withered, but from what? It had been hot for the last three days, maybe the sun started to weaken it. But that didn't make sense, it had been only three days, it needed to be a much longer time period.

Unless the Gamemakers made the damn like that, maybe they wanted to flood the arena.

A rustling noise interrupted me from my thoughts, Lilac went sprinting into the bushes. We heard a small squeal "Don't t-touch me!"

"Ow! You little bitch!" Lilac snarled and brought out the girl from District 5 by holding onto her ashy blonde hair.

"She bit me!" Lilac said stunned and brought the girl close to her "That's just foul play!"

The girl spit in her face, and I almost laughed, but I knew she would be dead very soon.

Lilac brought out a knife that was once in her bag, and pushed the girl to the ground. She straddled her and glared at her, none of us said anything when she brought the knife into the girls' knee hard.

I gasped quietly, luckily nobody heard me. Lilac then cut her stomach and the girl wheezed. I looked away and bit my lip hard.

What seemed like hours later the cannon boomed and the girls tortured cries were no longer heard.

"Okay." Lilac said while wiping her bloody hands on the dead girls' clothing "Let's go."

The next day seemed like a repeat of yesterday. We got up, ate and left to go hunting. But instead of going by the damn we went into another mini forest. The forest was deeper than the other ones, we kept walking until we found mud.

"There has to be another source of water then." Maxem said. "It still hasn't rained."

That was true, the weather seemed to get hotter and hotter each day, and it was like they were trying to dehydrate us. Bring us closer to something.

We followed the mud until we came into the clearing and there it was; blue, sparkling, and it wasn't the biggest thing in the world but it was enough to give me a little bit of hope.

It was a lake.
