Hello, been a while (as usual) but this is the first day of the games! May the odds be ever in your favor!

(I am typing this section on September 11th, and I want you all to give a moment of silence for all the men and women that died on the horrible day ten years ago. To all the innocent civilians, and the first responders. To those brave souls on flight 95 the overtook the hijackers and to everyone that saved lives. And to all the families that have suffered. I would also like to thank all the men and women that risk their lives every day to make this world a better place, and protect us all. Never forget.)

I woke up drenched in my sweat. Nightmares of what was to come had inundated my mind. Dreams of dying, and worse, Emma dying. I moved quickly to get the images of Emma with a broken arrow dangling from the side of her neck out of my mind. I randomly pressed the mess of buttons in the shower, as usual, until I received the results I desired. Once dried, I opened my closet to find the arena uniform. A blue tunic of sorts, with a darker blue trim, and the shoulders seemed to be puffed up for what ever reason. There was a black belt that had various pockets with zippers for safe keeping. I threw it on and left for breakfast.

On the table was a magnificent feast, for our last day no doubt. Ren was filling up her plate when I arrived in the room. I dove right in. I made sure I ate as much as I could, because food would surely be scarce starting in a few hours. I also drank as much water as I could possibly hold, and I always had a bottle to sip from through all the beforehand prep work. As "showtime", as some called it, approached Ren and I were herded to the room with our platforms. I was shoved into a room alone, and I stood on the circular disk, and watched the countdown on a screen in the room. 0:00. I felt the platform rise and soon enough, my metal disk was laying on sand.

I looked around and saw the other 23 tributes standing on their disks. I looked at my surroundings, I was on a sandy beach, but I saw no water. The sand slowly turned to grass then into a forest. It was more of a rainforest in fact. Emma was one the disk next to me, and we looked into each others eyes as we braced ourselves for a sprint. The plan was that the lighter tributes in our alliance would grab the things very near them and then run to a spot that David had deemed best, while the two tanks, Thistle and I, ran in for more advanced materials. The gong rang.

Everyone started sprinting. As it turned out the best place to run, according to David, was on the other side of the Cornucopia from Ren and Emma. They had far to run, and a dangerous place to run through, but this way they were able to grab better equipment on their way. I was sprinting straight for the Cornucopia, overflowing with essentials. On my way, I crossed paths with the small girl from District 9, that the others had nick named Tom, and I plowed my shoulder into her chest effectively knocking her over, and I heard a plunk as she hit the ground behind me. I quickly turned around to see her, and as she was getting up, Thistle hit her to the ground as well. I stumbled upon a dark green backpack, so I decided to pick it up. And soon enough, I was at the Cornucopia. The first thing I grabbed was a mace, and as soon as I picked it up, I hit the nearest person with it in the back. I think it was the boy from District 3. He stumbled away, and was soon ambushed by the District 10 girl, Nadia. She did something to his shoulder, and he fell to the ground instantly. From there, she plunged her golden dagger into his heart. She soon after fled to the woods with her district partner, Storm, and the District 7 girl, Videl. Two of them had packs and some weapons.

I already had a sleeping back rolled up in a back that was on my back, but now I needed weapons. The first thing I saw was a fishing poll, attached with a hook. I scooped it up along with a knife. I swung the pole around effectively hooking the District 3 girl, and I quickly whipped her in towards me, as she frantically flailed around. Then I stabbed the back of her neck and unhooked her, and she laid on the ground, barely breathing. I then stabbed her in the heart so it ended swiftly for her. I saw sword wizz through the air infront of me, and I saw it plunge into the back of the District 6 boy, who fell to the ground at the feet of Jason. Vasilisa had save him. Three people were already dead in the minuet or so since the gong rang, and it seemed one was unconscious. I turned around to grab a sword and I saw Maple dueling with the District 12 boy, and I saw the District 11 boy strangling some boy with his belt. As the boy slumped to the ground, Thistle grabbed another pack and turned around and sprinted to the woods with the District 12 boy.

Once the non-careers had either fled or died, we left the premise so that the hover craft could collect the corpses. I saw Maple stab a body in the heart as we left, apparently she wasn't dead. Once we left we heard 5 bangs from the cannon. A low amount. But, we heard no buzzing from the hover craft. Caspian went to check it out.

I walked back to the Cornucopia to see what was amiss. Once I was close enough, I saw the District 1 girl going through the supplies, and grabbing her own things. I ran to get closer to her, but she heard me and took off. I was able to throw a spear at her but she moved to the side a dodged it. She grabbed my spear and disappeared into the woods. I slowly walked back to the other careers, and heard the buzzing of the hover craft behind me. To my dismay I had to tell them that Vasilisa had made off with a good amount of supplies. But, we were still set.

Ali, and I sat in the woods and sorted through our things. We had each gotten a pack. First I dumped out mine, it had a filled plastic water bottle, beef jerky, iodine, and 2 knives. Then I added my sword and wire that I had picked up to the pile. Ali dumped her pack in that contained dried fruit, a fishing hook, and some line, camo paint, an empty water bottle and a heavy blanket, that we could both fit under. She then threw in her bow, and four arrows.

We decided to slowly walk through the woods in search of a water source, and with much luck we found a stream. We set up camp and huddled together under the blanket for warmth as we waited to see who had died in the blood bath. The anthem played and the faces started to appear in the sky. Both tributes from District 3, my district partner, Ali's district partner, 6, and the girl from District 9.

"Ali, I'm sorry about your district partner." I told her in a hush tone.

"I'm sorry about yours." She responded after a slight hesitation.

Here we were in a death trap, with no one left from home. We now only had eachother.

Well there you have it! Day 1!
