"Ladies and Gentlemen! Let the 73rd Hunger Games BEGIN!" Cladius's voice booms over the arena as we stand on our pedesitle for sixty seconds. I look at my surroundings, its a forest arena. Finch and I argued about this being the arena this year. I wish I could go home and rub it in her face. But I can't, and I'm positive I won't.

I look over at Jason who was eyeing the mouth of the Cornucopia, the items and weapons are spread out, the more valuble items are closer or directly in the mouth of the Cornucopia. Anything minor is farther out. I realize he must have spotted a sword on the rack inside. I'm in between the boy from 4 and Liam, the boy from 12. Kara, the girl from 6 is next to Julia. She's on the far corner. Jason's in between Emily, the girl from 4, and Blake. Two Careers, from one and two.

I flasback how Jason and I were going to watch our backs and try to outlast the Careers, we both promised. I hope he didn't change his mind.

Knowing the knives are also within the mouth, I might have sprint, grab, and fight. Maybe.

I reach my hand up to my necklace that Finch gave me before I left. I hope she's ok.

..........................MEANWHILE...................................................
District 5 was stairing up at the big screen in front of the Justice Building waiting for the countdown to start. Stella's mom and sister are in their home watching it. But her sister has her head nearly berried in her hands. Finch is sitting on the couch but with her screen turned off and has her back turned away from the Justice Building outside of her window.

..................Back with Stella....................................................

This is it.
The gong sounds and everyone in the corner of my eyesight is heading for the Cornucopia. I'm sprinting as fast as I can to the mouth, Jason on my tail. Others are heading my way and other tributes are already in combact with each other. The knives are just within my reach when Jason grabs a sword and runs my way. But he's not aiming for me. Its the boy from District 4. Jason slices his throat and he falls dead. Turns towards me. I had no clue that he was following me.

"You ok?"

"Fine, come on," I say grabbing each kinfe and sliding it into my pockets, there's a yellow backpack. Could be filled with anything. For the hack of it, I grab it and follow Jason. I turn my head to my left with Blake slaughtering a tribute with a sword. Just what I need, someone else running around with a sword.
I hear someone whimper, "But we're from the same District!" she cries, that must be rough, to have your own District partner turn on you.

"Too bad!" he laughs there's no response after that. I don't know who turns on their partner but right now it doesn't matter. I turn to my other side and there's Julia, fleeing from Winter, the girl from 12. I run after them and as soon as she has Julia down. I race up behind her and jab a knife in her sholder. She falls down, I retreive the knife and turn towards Julia, her face flooded with fear. I don't say anything but toss her a small bag, it holds a loaf of bread. She grabs it and disapears into the forest.

"No thank you?" I mutter.

I turn back to Jason, he's in a fight with Blake. "Stella! Stella!" he calls my name. I race behind him and grab his sholder and land a clean punch to his cheek. He turns away holding it. I nudge Jason and we race to the woods. He has a bag too, we might be able sustain ourselves from the Careers. I hear voices and running footsteps behind us. I turn just to see what it is, we're being chased by 4 careers and a tribute.

"GET THEM!" shouts one. We're sprinting as fast as we could. Later we elude them. To take a break from them in safety, we both climb the stronges tree that could hold us up. Plenty of those to go around.

"I think we lost them," I pant heavily.

"Yeah, well let's see what we got in our bags," he says.

"I'll look first." I say unzipping an opening it, it came from the mouth of the Cornucopia there has to be something good within it. I don't know about Jason, I have no idea where he grabbed it. It contains three loaths of bread, two filled silver water bottles, I hand one to Jason and he accepts it. There's also medicine from the Capitol. I remember this, it heals any large cuts or wounds. Useful. A large carving kinfe, a small box, filled with matches.

"Wow, that'll keep us alive!" Jason says, taking a small sip of water.

"Yeah, yours?" I look at his bag. He picks it up and sets in in his lap, and unzippes. Inside was another loaf of bread, more matches, two jackets, and a sleeping bag. Before I have time to answer there's a cannon. Meaning the death of a tribute. I begin to count them.

"2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" and it stops. I turn towards Jason and he shrugs, tonight we'll see who the cannons belonged to. It's best to save some of loafs so I cut out a portion we both agree should be plenty and eat it. As the sun goes down, I lay back against the tree using the jacket as a blanket. I'll let Jason use the sleeping bag first since he grabbed the bag. I'm nearly asleep when the Capitol antium plays. We both look up at the sky at the holigram that has the Capitol symbol and written below "The Fallen"

The names begin. The girl from 1. That's a shock, figuring she's a career maybe that was the girl I heard earlier, both from 3, an the others live thats not a shocker. Then boy from 4, the boy from 6, both from 7, the girl from 8, then the boy from 10 and 11.

That's good to hear, Julia made it through the Bloodbath. She wouldn't have if I didn't stop Winter. But unbelieveable. Winter is still alive. After I jabbed that knife in her sholder she fell to the ground. She looked dead and wounded real bad. She had to have faked it then when everyone left grabbed medicine from the Cornucopia, healed herself and left. I want to say something when another cannon fires, the holigram comes back on with Winter's picture. So much for my theory.

I begin to doze off, wrapping myself in my jacket for warmth. Then I'm out.
DAY 1 Bloodbath
I was waiting to get to the games and since this was the bloodbath i was making an aception to make it long.
