A/N: The Hunger Games have begun! In your reviews, guess who you think will win the Games, I'd love to hear what you think. Enjoy :)

All of the mentors stop what they're doing and watch the Games. Even the Avoxes sit down and watch. No one will move a muscle for hours. I look at my screens and see that Franklin grabbed a backpack and ran into the woods quickly. He can run fast. Haymitch and I give a small high five. I look back at the big screen and see that Talia, District 4's tribute and Revia are fighting. Apparently they're both skilled with knives. They both come at each other with slicing motions and Revia gets slashed in the face. Revia tackles her down and they both wrestle on the ground. Revia gets the upper hand and almost gets to slit Talia's throat but someone with a spear is coming at both of them. The tribute throws it and Revia ducks the spear. With the big guy running at her she punches Talia in the face once and grabs a huge backpack and runs into the woods. Talia gets up in time to cut the male who threw the spear in the leg. She doesn't cut deep enough to hurt him but it buys her time and she runs. Stupidly, neither of the girls grab the spear that almost killed them. Tributes after tributes die, but none in vain or out of weakness. I'm sure the Capitol is loving it.

I look for Henry on screen and he's taking on two kids from Johanna's pack, Gavin and Jamal. Mercy is fighting another girl. He looks scared and I get worried he'd rather die than kill. Gavin grabs Henry's legs and Jamal jumps on his beck and grabs around his neck and starts to choke him. I grab Haymitch's hand and he rubs it softly and whispers, "Come on Henry." Henry's face starts to turn blue and purple and I get worried. Mercy has killed her opponent so she gets a sword and runs over to Gavin and Jamal and throws the sword at Henry. I prepare myself to lose my first tribute but then, Henry throws Jamal frontwards off of his neck and the flying sword hits Jamal in the back. Mercy stops and stares in horror. Henry releases his legs from Gavin and kicks him in the face. He's not dead, but he's definitely down. Henry opens his arms and gives the "bring-it-on" motion to Mercy. She glares and runs away. Henry grabs the sword from Jamal's back, goes and finds a bag and runs as well. I hear Johanna mumble under her breath but I ignore it. Nothing can bring me down.

In total 15 tributes have died today, and I only knew one of them Jamal, from Johanna's team. All of the other kids I knew survived that day. Henry, Revia, Franklin , Finnick's Talia, Mercy and Gavin, Abigail's District 9 Twins and their other tribute, and Charles from District 11. A lot of the "Career" tributes died. In fact it seems Districts 7, 9, and 12 have the Career tributes these Games. After about three hours, a few mentors back to the hotel. Bette still has a tribute alive, but I hear him say to Finnick he doesn't have much faith in her. Finnick has Talia and another boy tribute alive, but he expresses he has little faith about him as well. Johanna walks up to Haymitch and I and says, "I'm not mad at you, so don't get that impression since I'm about to yell. However, I told my tributes to stay away from your big kid and they didn't listen! And now one of them is dead. If they continue to be stupid, neither of them will win the Games, dammit!" She hits her fist into our desks and our computers rattle. Haymitch rolls his eyes and says, "At least your tribute didn't see a fucking spear and kept walking. Even though she's damn near perfect with knives and things!" He grabbed his head and shook it. "I thought these kids would be smarter." They continue to talk but I pay attention to the tributes.

Franklin is sitting with the twins from District 9. They're in a dry area of the arena but one of the lakes is nearby and they know where it is. They take out all their supplies and divide them equally. I turn to find Abigail and she just shrugs and looks confused as well. Franklin says, "A lot of the easy kill died today. It'll be hard from here on out." The twins nod and continue to divide up supplies. I shake my head at Franklin. If you were going to make an alliance with anyone in the Games, you don't pick people who are related! Twins at that! I read in school, they can hear each other's thoughts and have the same dreams. They can easily kill him in his sleep. Haymitch rubs his eyes with his hand and says, "Why don't tributes ever listen?" I shook my head and said "I wish I knew myself."

Haymitch and I take turns going to the restroom and getting some coffee so we can stay awake. Haymitch is pouring some sugar into his and I see something on the screen that makes me jump. Revia with a knife in hand and Henry with cloth and rocks knuckles run into each other. I call Haymitch and say, "Haymitch! Get over here now!" He slowly walks over and looks at me and says, "What is it, sweetheart… can't I get my coffee?" I don't reply, just point to the screen. He says, "Oh shit!" and sits down beside me as our eyes glue to the screen. They both look awkward at each other in the face but both have their fighting stance prepared. I don't remember breathing at this moment just watching. All of a sudden a male tribute comes from behind Revia and swings at her with a club. Henry pushes her out of the way and punches him with his rocks hand. The guy falls instantly. Revia gets on top of him and slashes his throat and the cannon goes off. A woman behind me stands up and yells, "Dammit!" and sits back down and says "I still have one left." Henry helps Revia up and says, "Let's make a truce. We won't kill each other unless we're the last two standing." Revia nods and says, "Okay. Thanks for helping me out." They go in separate directions. Haymitch lays back in his chair and sighs. "That was close."

I look at my account and someone has sent me $200 for some medicine to fix the slash on Revia's face. Her backpack doesn't have a first aid kit or anything to help it. It can leave a permanent scar on her face or worse, contract an infection. I ask Haymitch and he agrees. We send her a parachute and she gets it almost instantly. She whispers "Thank you" and applies. We still have $1000 for whatever but since it's the first day none of our tributes need anything. A few days pass and more tributes die and mentors leave. Franklin and his alliance haven't killed anyone yet, but Henry and Revia have been monsters killing everything in sight. I fear it will come down to the two of them. Out of 36 tributes, there's only 18 left after a week. The Gamemakers sent a mutation of a flying spiders and that took out two tributes. Henry was hurt, but not killed. It cost $400 to send him some medicine, which I thought was outrageous but he was fine the next morning.

Talia runs into Mercy and everyone is on the edge. Besides Henry and Charles, from District 11, this was the fight to see. Gavin isn't with Mercy, hunting somewhere. They have a hand to hand combat match and Talia starts to win. Revia comes up and yells stop. I lean back and wonder what the hell she's thinking. She offers them an alliance. Talia says, "Let's say I agree with you 12. What do we do if were the only one's left?" Mercy agrees. "Well, we give Panem the greatest showdown in History. And think about it, if we keep working alone, we'll die sooner than later. You two were about to kill each other and the three of us are the best tributes in the Games." Talia and Mercy think about it and agree. I slam my head on the table. Haymitch rubs my back and says, "Katniss, sweetie I think she has a plan. She's not stupid." They share supplies and think of the remaining tributes left. "All of the District 9 kids are still alive. So are the two boys from my district.", Revia says. "That huge guy from District 11 is still alive too.", Mercy says. "Gavin too." "The boy from my district is still alive, and some kids from Districts 5 and 6. Not too many kids but enough.", Talia says defeated.

Gavin comes back to the area holding two rabbits, obviously for Mercy and himself. He sees the three girls and panic runs. Revia is too good of a thrower however and gets him in the back of head and he dies instantly. She looks to Mercy and Talia and says, "Now do you believe I'm with you guys?" They both nod, while the cannon goes off.
