CH 11: The Island Section
I wake up in the cave, Valinas already up sorting through what food we have left. "Need any help?" I ask trying not to look at her eyes because they are puffy and red from tears. "No, I'm almost done anyway" she says wiping her nose. We pack up and decide to head for the Island section.
We leave the mountain and as we reach the bottoms of the mountain we here a cannon. 6 other enemy's for us to kill, I'm hoping I'm not the one to kill Valina. We keep moving and we reach the beach of the island section. It's about a 50 yard swim to the large island in the middle of the island section. We eat the last of our food put our weapons in our bags and store whatever else we have in the bags and swim.
We somehow managed to make it to the shore without drowning. We travel to the center where there are lots of fruit trees that u collect about 30 fruits from. Valina has 3 deer being dragged by my rope. "The islands full of resources, probably the most in the arena" Valina says. "Yeah, probably because more then half the tributes can't swim". "More than half yes, I seem to be one of the ones that can!" a unfamiliar deep voice says.
We turn around to see the District 4 male. Valina shoots first, her arrow finds his left arm. He throws a knife lodging in her thigh. I grab my mace and swing at his head. I miss but hit his ear, which is now somewhere on the floor.
"Oh you'll pay for that one, missy!" He throws a knife I dodge it but it hits my side. Then an arrow enters his skull. BOOM! He falls to the ground and Valina lowers his bow. "Good distraction Amber, totally forgot I was there". We climb a tree in the middle of the forest in the island. We eat a dear leg, as I bring back some plants for our wounds. It's probably around 6. The anthem starts around 10 so we have time. I practice with my mace by hitting trees. Valina went back to collect arrows from some kills she had.
After the sun begins to set I wash my mace off in the river nearby our tree. I fill the water bottles and climb back in the tree just before the anthem begins.
The Fallen:
District 4: Male
District 11: Female
The anthem finished and as usual after an anthem I count who's left. The girl from 1, both from 2, me, the boy from 7, Valina, and the girl from 12. I realize the interviews probably started this morning. Only 7 of us left including me and Valina. I decide to tell Valina my plan. Tomorrow we take the careers food.
