I awake with the sunrise and get out of my accommodation to collect some fruit and to find some nonpoisonous plants. It´s not that easy because there aren´t many bushes. So I walk around an hour until I find some blue berries which I analyse to be confident I can eat them. Besides I get some radixes. The half of my goods I eat and the other part I keep in an hole in the tribe of the tree I´m sleeping at.
Also I look at my trap in which I find a mouse. It´s not much meat but better than nothing, I decide. Because I have eaten already I put it to my other supplies.
Until midday I make two other traps which I hide at the ground. After I have done it I´m walking back when I hear voices. My heart is pounding much faster now and I climb up the nearest tree. There I hide myself and watch the boy of 5 walking through the forest. Suddenly he stops and I stop breathing. He nears my hiding. I take my knife in my hand. He has also one.
But he hasn´t noticed me. Under the tree the girl of 10 is standing with a knife in her hand. Great, I think, everyone of us has a knife. 5 hesitates.
"I don´t want to fight" he tells 10.
She seems relieved. "So don´t I" She lowers her weapon. No, don´t , I think. It´s too late. He has attacked her and her knife is lying next to her on the ground. He kneels on her and pushes her on the bottom of the forest.
"You have said-" she begins but 5 interrupts her.
"I said, I don´t want to, I mean it, but I have to or I will die. Don´t take it personal"
I thought he would kill her now but surprisingly she isn´t as weak as she seems. She gets out of his grip and manages to run away through the forest. 5 throws his knife at her which hits her leg and she collapses screaming of the pain on the ground. He goes after her but she pulls the weapon out of her wound and stabs it at his right arm.
The boy has taken the knife out of his arm and fights a couple of minutes with her until she is in his grip and can´t move anymore.
I don´t know what to do. Should I do nothing and watch them fighting? Then I remember the girl of 10 and Benjamin were the only ones who have helped me. Dammit. It wouldn´t be fair if I just sit here and watch her dying.
I jump out of the tree quietly.
"It would have been much more quickly if you just have laid still" 5 says "Now you have hurt me. Don´t expect your dead will be fast anymore"
She tries to get out of his grip again but this time he has expected it and doesn´t relax it. She looks pretty hopelessly.
"Please do it fast anyway" she pleads him "my little brother is watching. I don´t want him to see me get killed with so much pain"
5 laughs. "Yes sure. There are also people home watching me. I don´t think they would want someone who has hurt me to die that easily"
He takes his knife and wants to stab it in her stomach but I´m faster. I throw my knife at him and it lands directly in his heart. 2 seconds later the cannon bumps. My first kill. It didn´t feel that bad. Maybe just because I have saved an other life with my doing. I don´t know exactly.
The girl of 10 stares at me with shock in her face.
"What?" I snap at her "We´re in the Hungergames. Besides you could thank me for saving your life."
That sounds really like me not like the baby she knows.
"How did you do that?" She looks at the dead body of 5.
I shrug my shoulders. "I have thrown my knife at him"
"But you are-"
"Weak? Pathetic? Yeah, I know, I just didn´t want to get attention from the other tributes or just as a weakling. Why should the carreers look for me if there are much more dangerous opponents?"
"That was an act?" she sounds impressed.
"Yes" I answer "Now, that you know my little secret, I think-"
She looks scared and shouts at me "You can´t kill me now! You just have saved my life. You can´t-"
"Actually, I want to be allies with you" I look at her disdainfully.
She relaxes and then begins to beam.
"Yes sure, that would be great" she replies. I roll my eyes.
"Okay, but please stop being so nice that pisses me of" I say "Come on, we have to take the supplies of 5 before the Hovercraft takes his body"
We walk to him. He has a bag with some crackers, some berries and 2 knifes. One of it I hand her, one I keep. Now we both have 2 knifes.
We take the things and she follows me to my accommodation. There I show her what kind of food and supplies I have and she shows me her things: besides the 2 knifes she has some dry apples, a bottle with water like me and also crackers like the boy of 5.
Slowly the sun is disappearing and we go to sleep.
"One of us should be awake and watch out for other tributes"I say.
"Okay, I will wake you in around 4 hours or if there is any kind of alarm"
I nod and climb up the tree. I just was going to fall asleep when I hear a cannon. Then there´s also the hymne. 2 faces are at the sky: the boy of 5 followed by the girl of 5.
I´m a little bit surprised the carreers haven´t killed more tributes but probably they have looked for the girl of 6, Benjamin and the boy of 12 and haven´t found any of them. So they´ll hunt this night the weak tributes, I´m sure of this. With this thought I fall asleep.
That was the second day of the Games. Did you like it? Yes? No? Please review!
