FINALLY THE GAMES STARTED! THE INTERESTINGNESS HAS COME!

EVES POV

Finch had survived the Bloodbath. SHE SURVIVED! I am so happy! I saw her punch the girl from 1, Glimmer, in the face and escape death.

Eli wasn't happy though. Drew, the other Tribute from 5, was his best friend. I remembered Drew. He was very kind. He let Finch and I take bread when we were starving. He was killed by the brute from 2. I saw Finch crying as she ran away from his body. He didn't deserve to die like that. No one deserved to die in these Games.

"Are you okay?" I asked Eli.

"I'm fine," he growled, but his eyes glistened with tears.

I saw Finch climbed a tree.

The Careers walked by the tree. Then Glimmer looked up and saw her. No! Finch couldn't die! Not now! Not like this! Wait a second...

Finch began to climb the tree as the boy tribute from 1, Marvel, climbed the tree. The branch Marvel was on snapped, and he fell. I snickered a little. The Careers might be strong, but Finch was smarter than all of them. Sometimes, strength won't help.

The Careers circled the tree.

"Look, she's not even a threat. She'll probably die tomorrow," said the boy from 12, Peeta. Lover Boy, I liked to call him, after his confession in the interviews. The Careers nodded and walked away.

"I owe you," mouthed Finch to Peeta. Was Peeta Finches ally? I hoped that he was.

Finch had just lived for one day. She could die at any time. But she would try her hardest to survive. She wouldn't let the Capitol kill her.


FINCHES POV

I looked from my vantage point in the tree. I saw a small stream close to me. I looked around to see if anyone was near there. All clear. I quickly climbed down and sprinted to the stream. I filled up my water bottle and put in the purifier. It would take effect in thirty minutes. I wasn't too thirsty, so it was fine. I shoved the bottle back into my pack. I heard a rustle of leaves and I looked up. It was the boy from 10.

I stood up slowly and looked at him. He looked back at me, a murderous look in his eyes.

"Please don't kill me," I said weakly. The boys gaze softened.

"I won't hurt you," he said. "I'm Seth," he said sticking out his hand to me.

"I'm Finch," I said.

"Do you have allies?" he asked.

"No," I answered. I saw where he was going with this. But I didn't trust this guy.

"Would you like to be my ally?" he asked.

"Nope," I answered. Then I noticed the sword hanging at his side. He lunged at me. I jumped out of the way just in time to not get stabbed and I ran. Seth crashed through the forest and I dodged trees and stumps. I was so glad that I did agility in training. I scampered up a tree.

"I'll just wait you out," he said.

I needed to find his weakness. What did I have that he didn't?

"You don't have any water, but I do," I yelled down to him. Seth came to the stream to fill up his water. He would need to fill his bottle up or die.

Seth let out a frustrated noise. "I'm going to get you," he said, walking away.

I was about to climb down and run, but I stopped. Seth could come back. I looked at the tree next to me, remembering what the girl, Rue, did. I was small. I might be able to make it. Either I try, or I die.

I walked to the edge of a branch and I jumped. I flew for a second and I grabbed a branch. I pulled myself into the tree and I laughed. I just did that! I just jumped out a tree!

You need to keep going if you want to escape! said a tiny voice inside me. I jumped from tree to tree, almost slipping many times, but I got far enough away from where I had met Seth. I let out a sigh.

I couldn't try to make allies. These Tributes couldn't be trusted.
