DAY 3
Joey Martin of District 6: Pov
I'm in the middle of swallowing a piece of bread when the district 3 girl catches my eye. She emerges from the forest, knife in hand, headed straight past my tree to the lake. I prepare an arrow and dip the point into the poison liquid. I reach for my bow and aim the arrow at the girl. Her name slips my mind.
She sits at the lake, scooping up water with her water bottle. She adds iodine to the water and begins to wait for it to purify. Here's my chance to shoot. But as I release the arrow at the girl, another figure emerges from the trees.
In astonishment my hand loses control of the bow and both the arrow, and the bow fling to the ground below me. Upon hearing the noise, the girls' head flinches to where the bow landed. Seeing me up in the tree, and the unexpected "visitor", she pounces away with her backpack and bottle of water back into the security of the forest. The "visitor", who was stalking the district 3 girl up until this moment, glares up at me with a sly smile.
Renee Lookluck, the girl from District 7, starts to cackle as I sit in the tree, my face like shivering ice, weaponless, vulnerable, fresh meat.
Riva Billion of District 6: Pov
I twitch in annoyance as a loud noise wakes me from my five-minute sleep. "WHAT IS IT NOW!"
Helenna's eyes flutter open drowsily. "What's what?" The district 13 girl yawns.
"Oh, you were sleeping.. Did you hear that noise just now?"
She rubs her eyes gingerly. "Sounded like a wave hitting the shore."
I gaze at the ocean from the cave we're in and shake my head. "It was a cannon. I'm sure of it."
Helenna springs up from under the blanket. "Someone died! Where! EEEEK!"
"Keep it down! Someone might hear us. Shut up." My eyes flame like a tiger hungry for prey. I swear I'm about to kill this girl.
I peek over at the bow and arrows, considering the idea, but I jerk my eyes back at Helenna. I watch her flowy blonde hair merge with the ocean waves behind her. "Ok, I'm going to catch some fish. Gosh, I don't think I'm ever going to get some sleep."
I get up and reach behind for my bow and arrows and then I hear an eery squeal. "B-b-b-behind you." I catch a quick glimpse of Helenna's trembly face and turn to see "A TARANTULA! RUN! SHIT SHIT SHIT!"
We're both screaming now and we bolt out of the cave with nothing but the blanket Helenna clenched on to. "That was the biggest spider I've ever seen. Oh my gosh. Probably bigger than my little sister at home. Oh my gosh. I'm not going back in there."
"Well neither am I!"
"Oh you won't have to." My eyes widen as the one who says this was a boy.
I slowly rise my head to look up at four career tributes, standing over the hill above the cave entrance. Girl from 2. Boy from 9. Girl and boy from 4.
I bury my feet into the scorching sand and take a deep breath. Ashlie Anders smirks as she aims a throwing knife at me. I dizzily watch the silver blade glisten in the sunlight, and that's when I feel Helenna sprinting away at full speed.
I look down at the sand so I don't have to watch her get killed.
"You're next" Carroll and the other careers laugh as I turn to see an axe lodged in Helenna's back. The cannon fires; and then the tarantula leaps out of the cave right in my direction. I hear a squeal and then Ashlie Anders is gone.
And then the tarantula bites my shoulder. And then the careers are making remarks in confusion. And then everything disappears.
Ginger Griffiths of District 5: Pov
After 3 days I have finally reached the forest. Do I really have to say the state I'm in? I'm dehydrated, severely sunburnt and just about had it. I collapse a couple of times on the way through, but I manage to get myself to a flowing river. My only goal in life for the past 3 days has been to find water. And I'm so happy I've finally achieved that goal.
I drag myself to the shallow stream and I lie down, smiling in accomplishment. And as I'm about to start drinking I hear a voice from behind.
"You know you'll die if you drink it straight off like that." It's Renata Pendal. Girl from 3. The lesbian.
"Then what? Do you have purifier?"
"I have iodine. It won't taste good. But do you want clean water or what?" She starts to fill the water bottle with water from the river, and then she adds a few drops of iodine. "You'll have to wait. About half an hour. Just so it has time to purify."
"Well.. thanks." I eye up the knife she placed on the floor.
"So what happened to you. Stuck in the desert?"
"Yeah. Pretty much. The gamemakers fiddled with it so I would be stuck there no matter how far I travelled. So are we allies?"
"Under one condition."
"No, I'm not going to have sex with you." I look at the knife again.
"What the hell? I was gonna say... if you promise not to kill me." And then she scoops up the knife.
"Ok then. Well I promise."
"And don't even think about stealing the knife. This alliance is only temporary. Ok? Until you feel better."
"Ok. Well it seems you've learnt well from your district partner. You know; helping people."
"I guess I have."
"Where is he anyway?- Shit. I'm sorry. Is he dead?"
"No, he's alive. Anyway, we should get out of sight. I had a close call today. We need to stay alert. "
"Fine.- Oh and thank you. I really owe you. Thanks so much."
Blondie Hickey of District 1: Pov
Sam Wattle. I swear he's perfect. He's carried me all this way and now we're in a rocky area of a river.
He places me gently onto one of the more comfortable boulders, while he takes off his shirt and wraps it around my leg. My eyes are locked on his sexy abs when he stares at me till I notice.
Our eyes lock. His eyes are so beautiful. But then I'm reminded of Curtis. I clear the name from my mind and then I watch as he leans in. And this becomes the best moment of my life. The kiss only lasts about 20 seconds, but this is because it's about to get so intense!
My heart pumps wildly. I get a jolt of surprise when rain suddenly pours from the sky, out of no where. He smiles and says "We should find shelter." And then I'm lifted off my feet and while I gaze into his adorable face, I'm brought to a cave and placed on another rock.
We kiss briefly, and then he unclips my bra and-
Matt Marley of District 12: Pov
I'm settled into a tree with traps placed all around the arena, so that in the morning, I can have cooked squirrel, rabbit or whatever other animal for breakfast in the morning. I wait for the sun to set and for dusk to mark the start of the Capitol anthem.
And then the Capitol anthem plays. Life both days so far, we are congratulated for surviving another day and the deaths for day 3 appear in the night sky.
The boy from district 6.
The girl from district 13.
And then the sky goes back to normal. Two deaths today.
