Sorry this took too long!

I don't own the Hunger Games characters, or storyline.

Thank you for your kind reviews!

Something inside Annie seemed to snap like an elastic band. As soon as Maxem's cannon went off, Annie made a large choking noise and took off sprinting in the other direction.

The Careers seemed to notice and Lilac swore loudly, Wyatt glared at her "What the hell was that for? Max wasn't doing anything wrong!"

Lilac shrugged "He was holding his spear, he could have killed you in a second. Besides now we have to go and find the girl."

They grabbed their supplies and took off after Annie. My heart started to quicken, what if they caught up to her?

Annie was fast I never knew how fast she was, she didn't show it in Training Centre that much, she seemed to fly across the forest floor, but her heavy panting seemed to bounce off the trees. I was afraid the Careers could hear her.

She darted up and large tree, her foot slipped on some moss and we both gasped loudly. Mags gripped my shoulder when she continued to climb very high up the tree. The moment she stopped and sat down on a thin branch, the Careers burst through the bushes.

"Crap! We lost her." Lilac hissed.

"This is all your fault!" Wyatt growled and advanced towards her.

"What are you doing?" she demanded.

"Killing you." Wyatt said causally.

"What?" Lilac said in disbelief.

He pushed her up against the tree Annie climbed. Simon stepped in and tried to defend his District partner "Wyatt… maybe you shouldn't…"

Wyatt didn't listen and he pulled out his large gleaming sword. Lilac glared as he brought the sword to her pale neck "Any last words?"

Lilac spat in his face.

Instead of slitting her throat he drove the blade into her stomach, blood gurgled from her mouth, staining her lips. Her cannon boomed when she fell.

"The packs over now." Wyatt turned to Simon, whipping the bloody sword on the grass, and turned to Simon and gave him an evil smile, Simon brought out his weapon and they raced towards each other, and started to fight

Annie gasped up in the tree then quickly covered her mouth, and then brought her trembling hands up to her ears. What seemed like hours later Simon's cannon boomed. Wyatt was severely injured with a large bloody gash on his shoulder and leg. He limped away and yelled "YOU HEAR THAT ANNIE? I'M COMING FOR YOU NEXT!"

He limped away and Annie sat there in shock and started to tremble. She wheezed and I realized she ran for a good three miles, and she didn't have time to grab and water.

I looked over at Mags, "I'm going to send her water."

Mags nodded and gave me sad eyes "Okay Finnick."

When the water came down Annie smiled and whispered very quietly "T-thank you."

The next day Annie seemed confused, she climbed down the tree she huddled in, Lilac's body was no longer there. Neither was Simon's. Wyatt was long gone, hunting down tributes.

Annie walked around disordered, whispering "Max? Maxem? Where are you?"

I frowned, she saw Maxem die. Why was she doing that? She continued walking, I was frightened that the Gamemakers would unleash some sort of horrible thing on her, but nothing happened. She must be close to another tribute. Fear shot through me as fast of the trains that take to and from the Capitol.

She came to a clearing and saw a tribute lying and shaking on the ground, she seemed to snap out of her daze and sprinted over, she saw the girls face. It was little Alanna.

Alanna coughed and opened her eyes, "A-Annie! Be careful!"

Annie crouched down besides, "Come on, let's go. I'll protect you."

Alanna's eyes started to water "I can't. I can't move Annie."

She frowned "Of course you can, come on, before someone else comes."

"I got bitten Annie, by a snake, it left because it heard a loud noise, but it will come and finish me off. You need to go before it comes back and bites you too Annie. It hurts a lot. I tried to run away but right when it bit me I couldn't move its bit must paralyze you."

"I-I don't want to leave you." Annie whimpered.

Alanna smiled "I will be fine, I'll being seeing some of my family very soon. But you promise me you will win. Okay?"

Annie's eyes watered "O-okay, I'll try."

She shook her head "No. That's not good enough, you will win. Say it."

"I-I will win."

"Good." Alanna beamed, her grin fell when she heard a rustling noise. "Now go Annie. It's coming back. Remember: You will win. Not try, that's not good enough.

Annie nodded and got up "Goodbye." She whispered.
