I groan as I continue walking, with Griffin leading the way. I don't see why he wants us to continue walking, we got far away from the cornucopia hours ago but he still persists on walking through this tunnel thing with lots of weird pictures on the wall with chalk. It's as if we're in some kind of gave, but now I'm thinking of seeing some spider mutts that are poisonous but luckily we're still in day one so I don't expect any mutts to show up -yet-. So far we haven't seen any tributes, we've heard canons. So far we've heard six canons and that only makes Griffin want to quicken his pace.
He's nice and all, and he'll protect me but he's scary when he's angry. He suddenly stops. I bump into him. "W-what?" I ask. Then I feel it, water dripping on my head, I look up to see stalagmites, long sharp ones with random drops of water dripping from them. "Tsk, let's keep going." He says and then suddenly we hear beeping. He looks up to see a parachute, already? I wonder how they're even managed to get parachutes inside since we are indoors (technically). But then again this is the Capitol. Sponsors must really like him. However, on the box it says 'For Thaihele.' It's for me?! He smiles. "Well open it." I quickly tear it open. Inside it I find a small knife and a water bottle that's actually full. While Griffin managed to get some useful stuff from the cornucopia such as a short sword, a backpack that has an empty water bottle, some gloves and a night vision goggles I only got a thin wire and a pot. Now I have a way to defend myself at least.

It's been a good day. I got one kill, Percy got one kill. I guess the hunting group we sent out has been getting to work. Even that stuttering idiot Gloss managed to axe someone. It's been a good day. Right now me and Percy are just looking through the cornucopia to see if there's more stuff to get. I've found a beautiful vest full of knives and strapped it over my chest, Percy has found a few harpoons. Shine has been just sitting around, not bothering to search for stuff,. "I've got all the stuff I need thank you very much." She said to me.
Well so much for being cheerful. I guess she's just made because she go stuck on guard duty while everyone else got to go hunting. I go back outside the cornucopia and leave Percy there as he continues rummaging for stuff. We're found food but I didn't really care for that, we need to dump them all in a pyramid or something. "Oi, Shine. how about instead of sitting on your lazy ass all day we put out supplies in a pyramid huh?!" I call out to her. She gives me a look that saids 'I'm going to stab you' and gets up reluctantly with a groan.
Percy comes out holding his two harpoons, sticks them in the ground and starts grabbing a bunch of stuff from the cornucopia and tossing them in the middle. He grins at me and I grin back. I guess you could say we're like mates, he's jut a cool guy, he's told be cool stories about what's it's like to liv in the victors village. I really want to live in a place like that. "Find anything good Percy?" I ask him. He nods and runs back in the cornucopia.
I wait for him as I continue dumping the stuff in the pyramid. He re-emerges carrying night vision goggles. Two. One for me one for him I presume. Now we'll be able to see in tunnels easier. "Hey. Where's mine?!" Shine asks with a scowl.
"Sorry but bros before hoes." I say smugly as Percy throws me a pair of goggles. Shine turns red and looks pretty pissed off. "I should get a pair! Just cos Mitchell's your boyfriend!" She complains, still looking pissed off. "I deserve goggles as much as you two pigs!" Percy chuckles. "Get a pair for yourself then." He retaliated, still holding in laughter, obviously amused at her. She then yells and kicks a crate and it tumbles over, she then storms back inside the cornucopia. Me and Percy then burst out laughing.

I've decided it, I hate the Capitol. If Xavier hadn't come to comfort me who knows what I would've done. I punched the wall and my knuckled bled. The way his head just fell off, trying to protect me! It's probably night time outside, me and Xavier have been walking for a while so we rested, we aren't in a tunnel no. We're in a part of the cave, it's very rocky and bumpy, it's not a mountain, it's more like the grand canyon.
Me and Xavier decide to rest there. I know it's night when I hear the Anthem blare through the arena and I see the Capitol seal appear projected in the sky as the faces of the dead appear.

When I see Ben's face I almost break down into tears but hide it. Xavier pats me on the back and pulls me tight to hug him. "It's okay. He died saving you. The least you can do is be strong for him." He says in my hear. I bite back the tears and nod. I'm happy I'm in an alliance with him. I'm happy I have an alliance, I need someone like him to protect me, not just from death but comfort me mentally.
The other faces meant nothing to me. Just seeing my own district partner beheaded was enough to make me ready to call the quits. Ben would not have wanted that. I need to win. Not my myself or my family. I need to win for the sacrifice Ben made. If it wasn't for his sacrifice I would surely be dead.
Day 1 is finished. Day 2 will begin next chapter.
