Merida

I don't know how long I've been running for. I'm tired as hell though.

Since the Cornucopia, I haven't seen Frosty and the others. I can only pray that they're still alive.

I finally stopped for ten seconds to catch my breath. All of a sudden, a spear was thrown into a tree in front of me.

I turned to see the career group. It's always got to be the redhead targeted first!

I began to sprint down the forest and also tried to find a way to get myself away.

I eventually crashed into a tree cause I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.

Wait, a tree isn't a bad move! As soon as a got my bag together again, I tried to climb up the tree as fast as I could.

While looking down, I saw that the Careers had caught up. The fat black-haired boy began to climb up the tree so, I climbed faster.

"Get her, Snotlout!" the blonde with the ax shouted.

I had to stop to catch my breath again, only to see the bulky boy fall down the tree.

"Damn it!" I heard him shout.

A blonde with a pink hat came up. "Let me try!" she shouted.

She aimed an arrow at me but, she missed completely. The bulky boy was going to try to climb up the tree again but, another boy in the group stopped him.

When I could finally see the boy's face, it was Frosty! Why, that two-faced, son of a-

"She can't stay up there forever. She has to come down sometime," he told them.

A blonde fat boy (wow, there are a lot of blondes...) patted his back.

"Good thinking, Frost." the bulky boy said.

Frosty had the nerve to suggest that! If it wasn't for Hic and Punzie, I'd come down this damn tree and snap his neck! Still, even then, I probably wouldn't do it.

I decided to set up camp on the tree I was on. I tied myself to the branch and I lied there for a bit, watching my enemies make camp.

By nightfall, their group made a fire and most of them sat around it. The others of their group went off to find unexpected tributes and end them. I was asleep at that time. I woke up a bit later to see if they were planning something but, I found nothing. They really are just waiting for me to die.

I tried to fall back asleep but, I swore that I kept seeing something in a nearby tree. Wait, no. There is something in that tree. I had to sit up from the branch in order to focus better.

There in that tree were two tributes. One was a teenage boy with shaggy brown hair in a stupid ponytail and a little girl with black hair in the same style. They were both trying to tell me something.

The boy placed the little girl on his shoulders and her little hand pointed to the top of my tree. I looked up to see a beehive of some type but, that's no beehive. That's a tracker jacker nest.

I looked back to try to find them but, they had disappeared from the tree.

This is my only chance. It's now hunted or be hunted and I definitely ain't gonna be hunted.

I grabbed a knife from my pack and began climbing up the tree to the nest. I began to cut down the branch that held the nest as fast as I could.

I got stung once on my hand. Another on my neck. Cut faster, Merida!

Finally, I heard the branch snap and the nest started to come down. I then heard another crash and the Careers began to scatter.

I then heard the large sounds of booms again. One, two, three.

Now, there are only sixteen left in this hellhole. Eat that, Careers.
