"Oh my gosh are you ok?!"  Rowan said rushing over to be immediately.
"Yeah, I guess but I just killed someone and Peter killed himself.  So not too much happened.."  I said sarcastically, before bursting into tears, had all that just happened in the space of 10 minutes?!?!
"Oh Willow!"  Rowan cried, dramatically as usual sweeping me into a rib breaking hug.
"Ok, ok enough of the drama people!"  Cat drawled  "let's put together our supplies, to see what we're workin' with."
Arrianne stopped sharpening her knife menacingly in the corner to join us all.
"Ok but remember to stay close to the ground, we don't want anyone to know we're in here."
All together we had my bow and quiver of arrows and my blue pack with a water purifying bottle, a sleeping bag and medicine.  Rowan had a throwing spear, Arrianne also had a pack with the same things as mine but hers was green,
"It's my favourite colour!" She claimed. 
She had her knife as well of course and Cat had a trident.
"Well we're pretty well covered so let's get moving, I saw the carriers heading towards the town square so let's head to the park."  Arrianne told us all, taking control.

We settled down in a very hidden, tree covered area of the park and as it was getting dark we started to decide who would take turns sleeping and guarding, Cat and I were guarding first. There was quite a long silence until the Hunger Games theme tune started up and 7 faces came up one after each other, one from district 3, Cat's fellow tribute Rover which she didn't really care about as he was a bit like Peter, both from 5, Peter of course and both from 12 which no one was surprised about.  District 12 had barely made it through the war. We sat in silence for a bit longer then Cat suddenly broke into song, she sounded like Taylor Swift when she sang country songs.
"Are you, are you, coming to the shrub,
Where I hang my kitten called Rub.
I told him to be quiet, but oh, did he yowl,
So I hit him on the head, with my sharp, sharp trowel."
"Ok...." I said as I looked at her strangely.
"It's a remix, of the song, ya know the hanging tree one.  Me and my sister Tanya made it up."
She suddenly looked really sad remembering her family. 
"Oh I'm sorry, I miss my family too, but it's just my mum and dad, I had a twin but, well she died when we were babies."  We moved closer together and wrapped an unzipped sleeping bag around us.
We continued to share funny, sad and life changing stories until it was time for us to swap with Arrianne and Rowan.  I wish we were back home in the treehouse Velvet and I had built four summers ago, eating s'mores and hotdogs beside the campfire, but no, we were in the hunger games and the group of friends I had made either one or none of us would come out of this.
I clambered up the tree Rowan had just fallen out of then groaned about.  I fell asleep quiet quickly as I was so tired.

I woke the end to morning thinking I was back home safe and sound.... But no.
"Up you get sleeping head!" Arrianne called up to my tree. "We've got to keep moving!"
I scrambled down and we headed off down the back alleyways until we heard footsteps.
"Someone's coming, get your weapons ready!"  I told the others in a stage whisper.
Arrianne brandished her sharpened knife menacingly, Rowan got ready to impale them with her spear, Cat did the same with her trident and I loaded my bow, they would not make it past this corner with us guarding it, we were unstoppable!
Suddenly the district 6's came round the corner, but they weren't prepared, we were.  The girl was round the same age as me, but I shot her in the heart, a cannon went off.  Arrianne tackled the boy who was the same age, oh yes, these were the twins.  She threw her knife at him and he got it in the right arm, cutting it off then she retrieved it and finished him off.  Arrianne scored an 11 in training and I'm not surprised, this girl was fierce!  A second cannon went off.  No offence to the other two but I think Arrianne and I were going to make it further than them.

"Ok then, to the hotel!"  Rowan commanded using her spear as a walking stick.
"Rowan, are you ok?" I asked as she seemed to be limping.
"What?  Oh that dude's sword cut out a quite a bit of my leg and I'M IN AGONY!!!!"  She replied clutching her bleeding leg, I knew the drama would come sooner or later.
"Ok, ok.  Cat can you help me with Rowan, we're nearly at the hotel."  I told the group and we kept walking.

That night we had pleasant accommodation in king sized beds.  The victims tonight were; one from district 2, one from 5, both from 6 of course, Both Arrianne's and Rowan's partners which they were quite upset about, especially Rowan, being the drama queen as always but her leg was giving her a lot of pain anyway and was already crying.  Hopefully a parachute would come soon otherwise that may well be the end of Rowan as she was losing a lot of blood very quickly.

Hope your enjoying the story so far, now we're onto the exciting part!
