SORRY I DIDN'T UPDATE YESTERDAY! BUT I'M BACK TODAY! YAYYYYYYYY!
EVES POV
Finch had another narrow escape. I'm not sure if she can keep running and hiding like this. She'll have to get food soon.
No one had died since the girl Lover Boy had killed. That was good. Lover Boy, I really hated him. Why did he get Finch out of the Careers clutches on the first day, then try to kill her the next day? Was he just saving Finch from a painful death? Was he fine with killing her humanely? Didn't he realize that Finches life was just as important as his or Katniss'?
Then I had a strange thought. What would happen if the rest of the tributes refused to kill each other? Would they all win? Would they all die? I don't think that I'll ever know. No one is brave enough to risk that.
FINCHES POV
It had been three days in the Arena. I hadn't been attacked by anyone else. But I needed food. I was slowly running out.
I didn't have very good aim with the one knife I had and lets face it, I won't be able to make a weapon or catch anything with my bare hands. But I could steal. But from who? My best bet was the Careers. They had an entire Cornucopia full of food. But they must have someone guarding it. I needed to see what they were doing for sure.
I jumped through the trees, passing over no tributes, thankfully. I got the a ring of tees surrounding the Careers camp. Strange, there was no one except for the boy from 3 there.
All he had was a spear. He couldn't take on anyone like the boy from 11, Thresh. Then I saw him moving towards the Cornucopia most likely to get some food. But then, I saw him stop. There were mounds of dirt all around the Cornucopia. The boy began to jump from mound to mound. What was he doing? Then I realized. Why would the Careers have the boy from 3 with them? District 3 was technology. He must have reactivated the mines! Smart. I like him.
He got a piece of bread and began to hop back. I looked at the way he jumped. They needed to have an easy pattern to remember, but not too easy.
Front, left, right. Front, left, right. Front, left, right. He jumped until he got back to where he was sitting with his spear.
He was off guard, now I could steal some food. I looked around in my tree. The Careers weren't close by. I quietly climbed down, and snuck over to the edge of the field.
Front, left, right. Front, left, right. Front, left, right. I got the the Cornucopia. Don't take too much. I could imagine Eve standing here and telling me that.
I took some bread and apples and looked behind me. The boy from 3 was looking straight at me. GO! GO! GO! screamed the voice inside of me.
Front, left, right! Front, left, right! Go! Go! Go! I got out of the mine field and climbed up a boy from 3 was still in the field looking around for me. I needed to get farther. I jumped from my branch into another, then another... then... SNAP!
I had grabbed a dead branch and I began to plummet down thirty feet. I guess I knew how Marvel felt when he fell out of the tree. TUCK YOUR LEGS AND ARMS IN AND TRY AND LAND ON YOUR BACK! yelled the voice quickly and urgently. So I did. I landed with a thud, all the shock was spread out through my body because of the way I landed.
"Ow," I mumbled as I got up and dusted leaves off of me. Nothing was broken, I wasn't very hurt but I was sure that some bruises would develop later.
"That was pretty good until you fell!" called a small voice above me. I looked around and saw Rue above me. "You still landed well," she said.
"Thank you?" I said, unsure of what to make of Rue's comment.
"Has anyone tried to kill you yet?" she asked.
"Yeah, the Careers one day one. Seth and Lover Boy on day two and I just ran got away from the boy from 3," I said.
"No ones seen me yet," said Rue. "I stay in the trees with the Mockingjays."
"Well good luck!" I said, walking away, not even thinking of trying to kill Rue.
"You too!" she called.
I climbed into a tree and hid. I ate part of my and apple and looked around and gasped. There was a blazing fire a mile away. I could see the smoke coming towards me. I needed to get far away, right now. I jumped from branch to branch, looking to make sure they were stable. I jumped until I was a few miles away. I watched the flames from afar for some hours until they died down.
It was dark by then. I tied myself into the tree and went to sleep.
xXx
I woke up. I heard blood chilling screams. I heard some crashing in the forest and saw Marvel, Cato, Cove and Lover Boy running through the forest. They had welts on their skin. Probably from some kind of Mutt. Then I realized what it was, Tracker Jackers. I remember the stings they left because Eve had gotten stung once. Thankfully, she got the right plant medication.
I didn't see Glimmer or the girl from 4. I heard two cannons. That's where they were.
I was kind of relieved that they were gone. I was sick with myself. What kind of person wishes death on someone? asked the voice in me.
"Shut up!" I said to it. I was going insane.
I couldn't be part of their games. I couldn't wish death on anyone or be relieved when someone died. I couldn't play these Games their way. I just couldn't play these Games.
IF YOU REALLY DO FALL OUT OF A TREE, ACTUALLY LAND LIKE THAT! WE LEARNED THAT IN GYMNASTICS! DON'T PUT OUT YOUR ARMS OR THE WILL BREAK! TRY AND LAND ON YOUR BACK OR ROLL OUT OF YOUR FALL! BUT PUT YOUR ARMS OUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO LAND ON YOUR FACE OR SOMETHING! THIS JUST WENT IN A STRANGE DIRECTION! I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ALL OF THAT CAME FROM! I DON'T KNOW! I JUST GET DISTRACTED... OH A BUTTERFLY! (HEHEHEHE) ANYWAYS, AWAY FROM MY WEIRDNESS, REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
