And The Games Begin
I look at the scar on my arm where the chip was put in, standing in the tube that sends tributes up the Arena. I put my hand against the glass as Finnick's is on the other. As I shoot up he blows me a kiss and I look down desperately wishing to be down there with him. I move up and see the Arena around me, twenty three other children standing round in a circle. The Cornucopia is on the other side to me and I see the Careers eyeing it up. I go numb as I see the weapons as it dawns on me that I'm actually in the Hunger Games. That twenty three of us have to die.
"10." It says as everything goes cold.
"9." I look at Andy who looks as nervous as I feel.
"8." I'm going to die!
"7." Finnick's green eyes flash in me in my mind.
"6." I'll never kiss Finnick again.
"5." I can't think like this, Finnick will never forgive me.
"4." I'm going to try.
"3." Not try, win, just do as Finnick says.
"2." I get ready to go.
"1." And I leg it, I get away as fast as I can, sprinting. I see the high mountains to my left, with lush green forests on the hill sides, that's where I'll go. I hear screaming of other people and I wonder who they are but I have to stop thinking of that and just run. Literally run for my life.
