I whipped my head around. There was a low growl coming from beneath the tree I was lying in. As I searched I found nothing, except the ground was slowly turning white. Snow and ice crept over the trees and bushes. It slowly creeped toward the tree I was perched in. The ice blanketed the tree, weighing it down. With a hard thud I fell right on my butt and started slipping and sliding around trying to regain my balance. Right as I got back up, I fell backwards on my butt...AGAIN.

     I had finally got back up off the ground and began to look at my surroundings. While I had been falling on my butt, the area around me had transformed into a winter wonderland. The view was fantastic, surrounding the mountain top I was standing on. Beneath, the ocean glittered in the sun. "It was weird," I thought, "how up here it was white and snowy and down there it was hot and sunny." Probably just an affect the game markers put in the arena.

      I picked up my stuff that lay in a big messy, heap around me. Slowly sorting through it I realized I had nothing for warmth! I had two choices kill a tribute for their stuff or try and stumble down an icy, slippery, steep, dangerous, rocky mountain. Being me I chose the second option.

      For the dangerous decent I knew I had to get rid of somethings so I had a lighter load to carry. I got rid of all my stuff but my camo blanket, knives, daggers, canteen, and some of the food. I had no more water so I stuffed chunks of ice in my canteen and then wrapped it up in my blanket to melt.

    Slow and steady just wasn't my style. My style was more like go as fast as you can and try not to get to injured. Of course this style had ended up giving me 3 broken arms and two broken noses. As I skidded down the mountain side, I could here the female named Panther or at least I think that's her name. She was the smartest tribute And had taken refuge in one of the mountains many caves. Maybe she wanted an alliance with me? I didn't know if she did but I was about to find out. I clambered into the cave and drew my knives but I didn't see her. I scanned the cave and started to turn around but I was met by a rock hard fist. Ouch! I mean REALLY! Clutching my probably broken nose I stumbled backwards. As I recovered, she drew her bow and stocked it with an arrow. I realized her plan and immediately charged. She fired an arrow but I was to close and it bounced harmlessly off the cave wall. With inhumanly speed she loaded another arrow and aimed at me but strangely just waited like she was waiting for me to stay something, instead I tossed a knife. Well toss isn't a very good word more like hurled a knife at her. She moved out of her way but it still clipped her shoulder leaving a nasty gash. Her eyes bore through me as she fired her arrows, suprised I leaped out of the way and threw my knife. It spiraled towards the space between her eyes and all she did was stare wide eyed like she was mesmerized by the blade. It stuck into her forehead and she crumpled to the ground her cannon sounding. Just be safe unlike I was with Sadie who somehow survived her cannon I pushed Panther's body out of the cave an down the mountain. She opened her eyes as I pushed her out and her scream was drowned by the whooshing of the air. I retreated back into the cave and wrapped myself in a blanket from the corner of the cave. I walked around and hid all my bags out of sight and even hung my Camo blanket over the small cave entrance. Satisfied I walked to my food bag and devoured some canned beans and a few slices. I spent the rest of the day wandering around sharpening my weapons, eating drinking, and practicing my knife throwing skills.
