Chapter 4
That wasn't the end of deaths in day 2.
When I was about to walk through the town, I saw Hermione from 6, who got electrocuted and her cannon sounded.
It was a trap made by Janet and Caroline from 3.
I saw as Janet went over Hermione's body and tried to take things from her.
I felt the opportunity and shot Janet in the leg.
Janet fell down and also got electrocuted by her own trap which immediately killed her.
Caroline heard the cannons and Janet's scream.
She got off the house were they apparently had a base in.
When Caroline showed herself, I shot her in her head and another cannon sounded.
I managed to avoid the traps and get into their base. I found a lot of water and food there, which I took with me.
Later I spotted something interesting about leaves on the trees. I recognized that water was coming off them. I heard a cannon and noticed Adien's body from 4. Just as I thought, water from the leaves was poisonous, we had something like that in District 11.
After some time I found a safe place to stay for the night.
I woke up in the middle of the night when the fallen tributes where shown on the sky.

...
I was going through the town on a day 3.
Sandy from 1, was drowning little girl from my District. Her name was Christy as I remember.
I tried to shoot Sandy but she ran away and I didn't got to kill her.
I walked up to Christy and checked if she's breathing.
Poor girl was shaking and had a bloody scar on her neck.
"It's okay, it's okay." I tried to calm her down.
I ran my fingers through her hair as she was slowly blacking out.
Soon her cannon sounded.
After I turned around I saw Lucia from 6.
"I'm not going to hurt you." He showed me his empty hands.
"What do you want then?"
"I want to be your ally." He said.
"Why?"
"I don't know, do I have to have a reason?"
"Not really but I accept your offer."
I said as I got up.
"Alright, we should get out of the main square because it's an easiest way to get killed." He said and kinda looked at Christy's body.
"Did you saw anyone else getting killed?"
"Yeah, Margaret from my District by a girl from 9."
We went to hide in one of the buildings and Lucia showed me his small piece of paper.
"So I made a map of the arena along with Margaret." He started.
It was impressing that he managed to do that in just two days.
"Cornucopia is near the force filed. The forest it not that big but it hides the town. The town is big and it has the main square is dangerous. The high buildings are the ones that most tributes are hiding in so I suggest we hide in the smaller ones. I know that there's a there's a lake nearby but I haven't been there." He explained and pointed at certain places with a small pencil.
"I see, so the main square is the deadliest?" I asked.
"No, it's the meadow." He pointed at the map.
"The map isn't finished though, I still didn't mange do write some stuff down."
"It's okay, we can work this out together. What is the safest place according to the map?"
"Probably the forest."
"Let's go then."
We kept walking and I noticed that Lucia had a spear with him. I was suprised that this guy can fight.
Lucia had short dark hair and he was 16 years old.
Suddenly we heard a scream and I saw Hugo from 12 about to stab Sapphire.
Without hesitation, I shot my arrow at his head which killed him instantly.
"Sapphire, you're okay?" I asked.
"Autumn! I'm okay." She said.
"Who is this?" Lucia asked confused.
"Oh this is Sapphire from my District. Sapphire, this is Lucia from District 6." I said.
"Nice to meet you, I wish we met in other situations." Sapphire got up.
When we were walking around, Lucia caught me looking at the ravens.
"What are you looking at?" He asked.
"Those ravens. You think we can use it to our advantage?" I said.
"I think we should try." Sapphire said.
"Do you have a box?" I asked.
"We can use one of our backpacks. I don't have a lot of stuff there so I can put it in one of yours." Lucia said and emptied his backpack.
"Okay, the plan is to capture the birds." I said and that's what we did.
Carefully we captured three birds.
"What now?"
I looked around and saw three people in the distance. Those were Pearl, Selena and Tilly form District 10.
"Here's the plan. We go there, Sapphire and me climb the tree. Lucia makes sure that no one notices us. Then I spread crumbs on them and Sapphire frees the ravens. After that we run away." I explained.
We did exactly everything like in the plan. Me and Sapphire climbed above three tributes from 10. I spread the crumbs and Sapphire freed the ravens.
We ran away as tributes were screaming when the birds were cutting their throats and hair.
Soon three cannons sounded.
"We did it. Good job team." I said.
"I managed to take their supplies. They have a lot of food but no water." Lucia said.
"We should drink water from the leaves for sure."
"We can go to the lake it's not that far away."
We went to the lake when we were all tried. We sat down and surprisingly there was no tributes there. The water wasn't good to drink.
Suddenly I noticed a package from sponsor.
"Look!" I took the package and found a small metal tube.
"What is this?" Sapphire asked.
"It's a filter!" Lucia said.
He put the water from the lake in to a bottle and put the filter inside.
Lucia immediately started drinking from the bottle.
"Leave something for us!" Sapphire said and Lucia passed her the bottle.
After she drank, I drank too.
We were really happy to receive the filter. Now we could drink from the lake and don't get sick.
Later me and Lucia weren't sleeping since he was on a watch and I couldn't sleep.
"Who was Margaret to you?" I asked.
"She was my friend even before the arena." He replied.
"I'm sorry."
He didn't answer.
Then the fallen tributes were shown on the sky.
