Chapter 4

I had a silver overall on me thay had black details. My stylist told me that the arena is going to be tropical or desert. My hair was in a high ponytail and I had the bracelet that Anne gave to me.
The bracelet kept remaining me that we are not like other careers. We're a team and we work together.

Suddenly, I heard Oliver coming to me.
"Listen, Sasha." He kneed down.
"You're going to be okay, normally I wouldn't say this but the other careers will protect you." He said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"I just do, trust me."

The tube opened and we both you knew that it was the time.
I went inside and I started going up.

I looked around and realized that it's a tropical arena.
Behind me there was a jungle and infront of me there was a bridge surrounded by water.
But most importantly, the Cornucopia.
I spotted the bag of throwing knives in the distance.
I remembered that we are in charge over the Bloodbath and we have to make it good.

The gong sounded.

I sprinted to the Cornucopia, luckily I didn't slip into the water like some of the tributes.
I took the knives and noticed that Anne and Orion was already killing tributes.
I noticed Iva from 7 running to the Cornucopia, I hit my knife in her head which immediately killed her.
Quickly I decided to look for Paris and I spotted that he was fighting with Jack from 10 in the water near the Cornucopia.
I didn't hesitate to throw a knife at Jack. After it hit him in the neck, Paris kicked his body underwater so he can get out of the water.
"Thanks blondie." He said and ran to his weapon.

The Bloodbath lasted for about an hour. Many tributes got away but we left some of them injured.

"I think that's all." I said as I took out my knife out of Loni's from 10 chest.
"How many cannons there were?" Paris asked.
"Nine." Orion answered.
"That's not enough." I said.
"You think?" Anne doubted.
"Yeah, we should go hunt." Paris agreed.
"Okay, you three go and I'll take care of supplies." Orion said.

...

Me, Paris and Anne went to the jungle to hunt for tributes. Before we found someone we can kill we were chatting around.
"Is Orion always that grumpy or is it because of the games?" Paris asked.
"Nah, he's always like that. But he's really cool when you get to know him." Anne answered.
"Guys, look." I pointed at a small river with a lot of frogs around.
"You think the frogs are poisonous?" Anne asked.
"I don't know but we can find out." Paris said and pointed at Jay from 9.
Anne and I smiled because we all knew what to do.
I threw my knife at Jay's leg which made him scream.
"Shut up, little guy." Anne said to the thirteen year old boy. She put her feet on his chest and her sword at his throat.
"Are those poisonous?" I asked.
"I-I don't know." He cried.
"What do we do?" Paris asked.
"Simple." Anne said and kicked the boy in the water.
I immediately kicked the frogs on him, soon all of the frogs began to jump on him.
"Nothing seem to be happening." I said.
"I guess they're not poisonous just sticky." Paris replied.
"What a waste of time." I walked up to Jay and put his face under the water.

After a minute his cannon sounded.

...

We didn't find any more tributes so we headed back to the Cornucopia.

After some time we light a fire with some matches that we had and ate some of the bread.

"We have food lasting for three days for 4 of us." Orion said.
"That's not bad." Paris replied.
"Yeah and we managed to get rid of 10 tributes." Orion added.

While boys were talking, me and Anne were sitting aside.
Anne was behind me and she was making little braids out of my hair.
"I heard your parents forced you to be here." She said.
"Everyone did." I rolled my eyes.
"You seem annoyed."
"I just don't like talking about it and everyone wants me to."
"Alright then don't talk about it." Anne said to my surprise.
"Maybe you should try to fall asleep." Anne said.
"I don't know if I will be able to." I answered.
"It's Orion's turn to keep watch for now so you can rest." She said.
"Come here."
I lyed my head on her lap, she was gently stroking my hair as I slowly fell asleep.

...

There 14 tributes left on the arena.
That's the first thought I had on the day two.

That day we managed to steal steal supplies from Amber from 4 and Twilight from 3 who were allies.
This way we had supplies lasting for more days.

This time Paris and Orion stayed on the watch which made me and Anne go on the hunt.

"Anne, behind you!" I yelled to her when Poppy from 11 was about to attack her with a knife.
Anne turned around and with one slice cut of Poppy's head.
Her cannon sounded.
"Does she have anything?" I asked.
"Just rope." She answered while looking through Poppy's body.

When we were walking to the Cornucopia, Anne suddenly made a scream.
I turned around and saw her in quick sand.
"Sasha, help." She said while panicking.
"Don't worry I have an idea, try not to move." I said to took out the rope.
"Catch."
I threw one end of the rope to her and started pulling.

It took a while but I managed to take her out.
"Thanks, Sash." She said.
"It's okay."
