Anyways...............
Day 2
Reyna Atkins
District 11
Ok, huh? Five Careers dead? What the heck? That has never happened before. Ever. What changed? Perhaps somebody actually tried. It could be possible. No one had really tried to attack the Careers. Does this mean that they aren't as invulnerable as they would want us to believe?
If I could, I'd run up and shake the murderer's hand. Only thing is, if the guy was able to kill five Careers, he could almost certainly kill me. Then again, I'm not as thickheaded as those dimwits. Which is of course why they're dead. Then I realize my error. They're not all dead. One still lives. Maybe it's just from years of having contempt and hatred for the Careers that I want to hunt him down and kill him personally.
Then I'm just as bad as anyone else here. I sigh, and try to find a spot to sleep that isn't muddy and/or uncomfortable. If only I could have grabbed a sleeping bag. Then I probably would have been killed. I look around, but I can't find anything. I'm a day's journey from the Cornucopia, so no hope there. Now what?
What's the point? We're all going to die anyway. We have to try. I hear footsteps, and hide behind a tree trunk. I take the risk of looking at the tribute near me. The deer comes out, and I realize my mistake. I assumed it was a tribute. Oh well, it'll be good enough for dinner. I pull out my only souvenir from the Cornucopia, a dagger, and move in closer.
I charge the deer, but than my foot is snagged and my body is pulled up so that I am dangling by my ankle. Dammit. It is a trap by one of my competitors. Whether it was intentional or not remains to be seen. A girl's voice that I don't recognize comes from behind me. "You're not my dinner, are you?"
"No. At least, I hope not," I call back. She calls back, "Ok. Sorry if this pierces your leg."
"Wait, what?"
There's a whooshing sensation, and the cord holding me to the snare is split, sending me sprawling to the ground. I look to see the girl from 10, bow in hand, looking at me and smiling. "Are you ok?" I get up. "Probably......no........" She chuckles. "Allies?" I look at her. We both know this can't be permanent. But, let's do it while it lasts. "Allies."
She smiles. "My name's Aya." She then pulls out a bottle of water. Actual water. "Think you might need this," she says, and throws it to me. I take a swig, and then set it down. "So," I say casually, "what about the Careers?" She looks at me strangely, and then sits down on the ground. "I.....don't know. But I saw the boy from 6 standing at the bottom of the mountain during the bloodbath. He looked....confident."
I shake my head. "You can't just assume that because of his actions. We need proof," I say. She sighs. "And who will we go to to receive that proof? The one who did it? The last remaining Career? Assuming we even find them, what makes you think they'll explain?"
I sigh. This is going nowhere. "Well, first we have to know where the other tributes are." There's a sound, a chuckle deeper than either mine or Aya's could achieve. A male's voice. "You got that right, sweetheart." I turn around to see a rather imposing figure. Yet not so imposing if he can give us info we need. The info about the Career murderer. "Hello," I say, to a certain boy from District 2.
