Vance Blue's P.O.V. (D5)

Nathan returned from the feast a little while back. He only brought a small bag back with him. It had a few loaves of bread and some beef strips. When we asked why he couldn't get much else, he said that he couldn't really get close to the horn without Liam and Brendan chasing him away. He also said that he's lucky to be alive and that Brendan and Liam both had a chance to kill him, but they let him go instead.

"So how many tributes even showed up?" Cally asks.

Nathan rubs his head, "Well, Liam and Brendan were there, of course. Delinia and Tai showed up, and Mason came for the special package. Then me."

"So, basically everyone except us and Brenda," I say. Nathan nods and winces. Apparently, Liam hit him in the head with something. Fortunately, they didn't decide to kill him on the spot.

"So, there was a canon...who was it for?" Cally asks.

In answer, the sky lights up and the anthem starts to play. The only face to appear belongs to Delinia Spokes, from District Four. Then the anthem finishes and the sky returns to it's dark form.

"She got far," Cally comments, "But I'm not very surprised. She was pretty good, I guess. I never fought her in the other Games though. Sara and I didn't run into many tributes."

"Neither did my last alliance," I say and Nathan nods in agreement.

I feel like the Careers have been the ones with the most action. They are always going on the hunts and tributes constantly come to the horn for more supplies. Iona and Jarus were pretty tough opponents. I still can't believe that I was the one to killed Iona in the end. She was one of the big, older tributes. I'm just thirteen. I wonder how Jarus died.

I look out where the other islands used to be. I wonder if this island will crumble too. And if it does, when will that be? Maybe the Gamemakers will tell us when it will, if it does. I can see them doing something like that just so that all of us tributes will try to finish this up before it happens. I know that there is no way I will make it. If only I hadn't broken my leg, I would be able to fight to protect my sister. At least we have Nathan, but is it enough?
