The arena is here! And so starts the fun!
Disclaimer: I own Olivia.
Oh my gods, the day's here.
I'm told that I was to grab something and go. Kill if necessary. If not, keep running. I tried to keep this all straight but I was in a whirlwind of emotions. I felt nervous, scared, and excited at the same time. I hope it didn't show on my face. I hate showing and telling my emotions. It makes me feel vulnerable.
I feel a pain rush through me. I guess the tracker has been put into me. Alvin is putting me into a black jacket which was water proof and kept heat in. Nice leather boots cover my feet. Well at least my anklet can't be lost.
I hug and thank Alvin for all that he's done for me and tell him to thank Cordera and Mercury for me. Who knows when I'll ever see them again.
The platform lifts me up to the arena. I look around and see it's a forest. The golden Cornucopia is sitting right there. There's a huge black backpack that could be full of things inside. I look to my left and see Frank. The right of me is where Connor stands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let the 18th Hunger Games begin!" says the announcer which I never bothered to learn his name.
60 seconds to wait. Okay grab that backpack next to me. It looks big enough for a small sword or a bunch of knives and survival supplies. I hope that's what's in there. Look a sword that's laying ten feet away from me more toward Frank. I'll grab that and the backpack and run northeast like Annabeth said. The gong rings out and I run and grab the backpack. I strap it on and run toward the sword. I pick it up and someone else tries to take it from me. I think it was Kayla. I knock it from her hands and probably give her a bad wound.
I run away from everything toward Annabeth. Suddenly Annabeth is out of my sight and I'm running alone. I still hear the awful screams ringing through the woods. I guess the Bloodbath is still going on.
I crash into a tree and stumble backwards, confused. I shake my head and start to climb the tree. I guess the plan is slightly delayed. I open my backpack and find a huge water bottle, a blanket, and a belt inside. I open the bottle and find it empty. Why can't they fill it up? I guess I'll find some water later. Take a nap first then find the others and water. I tuck the sword into the backpack and put the water bottle back in. I wrap myself up in the blanket and belt myself in the tree. As I get comfortable, I hear the anthem play.
There's a space in the tree perfect enough to see the faces in the sky. I see Connor's face in the sky and I feel sad. Not because we had a tight bond but because we were tributes for District Three together. I will win this for him and all the others who die. I kiss my right middle and pointer finger and pointed to Connor's picture. Then Octavian's picture shows up followed by Lou Ellen, Gwen, Dakota, and Kayla.
Oh no. Gwen and Dakota are dead. They were friends of Hazel's and mine. They were Romans. True Romans. Brave, courageous, and true to their kind. I feel a tear coming up and I try to push them back. I still have to keep my appearance on camera. I have to have sponsors. I watch as the anthem ends and the sky goes dark.
"Water?" I whisper, hoping that Cordera would get the message.
I waited and waited but no water came. Maybe I was near some? That or she thinks I'm not being brave enough. I think it's the first option. I'll look in the morning. Right now I'm tired. I close my eyes and fall into a dreamless slumber.
Okay so six dead. And before you get mad at me, I have thought out all these characters' fates. So don't get mad at me when your favorite character dies. Oh the fun I'll have. :)
