Foxface/Finch
Days passed, I was walking through the trees to not be seen. Katniss and Rue think that they're so good at it but I can do it and not be seen.
I was spying on tributes and getting information. Glimmer died by tracker jakcers, Cato, Clove and Marvel are allies, Rue and Katniss are allies too, Thresh is alone and Peeta is camouflaged to the ground.
I then realized that Katniss is going to win. I mean, I don't know that but she has big chances. She has sponsors and she can shoot. My mentor told me to attack only if necessary but I feel like she is standing on my way.
Because of her I won't see my family.
I'll die.
My parents will cry.
I hided my face in my hands. I have to do something.
Then I spotted nightlock near me.
I have a plan.
...
I put the berries in the small box that i had my gifts in. Then carefully I gave them to Katniss and Rue. My heart was racing as I was hoping not to get caught.
They ate the 'gift'. Soon two canons sounded.
I did it, I killed them.
I took their stuff and ran away.
...
I didn't sleep that night. I couldn't stand the thought that I killed a 12 year old girl and her friend. Those are games after all, I had to do it.
Next day I began to walk around, the lack of sleep made me tried.
...
I don't remember falling asleep but I remember the dream.
I was back at the reaping in District 5. I was standing in the crowd of other girls my age, I was anxious just like everyone else. I don't have siblings but I do have friends. I had two best friends that I always hang out with Tesla and Nina. They meant a lot to me and I let them die, still I wouldn't have enough courage to volunteer for them.
And then my name was called, at first I thought that it was my imagination. Unfortunately, it was real. I got on the stage and my death sentence had been called.
Then a boy named Dean was picked, he was a guy from my class that I sometimes talked to. Now he is dead, he didn't make it past the Bloodbath. If I knew that he will die soon, maybe I would've talk to him more?
...
I woke up and nervously looked around. I was on the grass in the middle of the forest, quickly realizing that I must have pass out from exhaustion. I checked if no one stole my supplies but everything was on its place. I was lucky enough that no one found me.
I climbed a tree and drank water to stay hydrated. It was a middle of the night, a good moment to go to sleep. Face of Peeta from 12 was shown on the sky, he probably bleed out to death or maybe he killed himself after founding out about Katniss's death? I'll never know.
I decided to get some rest on the tree. I must have slept for a lot but I woke up refreshed.
Then I began to travel around. The forest was quite pretty during the day. It's sad how such a beautiful place turns into a killing arena. We don't have forests in District 5 so I have never been to one. Still I knew how to climb the trees and I knew survival. How?
Climbing trees I learned on the training area. My mum thought me survival, she said that even if I get picked and I don't know how to fight, it's good to know survival. She was right, people are saying that I got my smartness from her.
"It's better to know how to start a fire than throw a knife." That's what she always said.
I smiled by thinking of her and then I heard an announcement.
"Attention, all tributes! A feast will be held in the Cornucopia!"
Lucky for me, I am near the Cornucopia. I have been running out of food lately.
I went and took my things before even anyone else took theirs. I won't steal, I don't want trouble. I then ran away back to the forest.
There was a bowl of soup in my bag. I immediately started to eat it because I was starving.
It was so warm and tasty. It had vegetables in it and many different herbs. I don't remember when was the last time when I had a meal like this. Its taste took me back to home when I was safe.
With heavy heart, I had to put some of it for later and not eat it all.
I thought more of my mother's words.
"It's better to know how to start a fire than throw a knife."
Fire remained me of Katniss. I didn't know her but I know that she wasn't a bad person. She was a girl on fire who saved her sister.
I suddenly got an idea. It was risky but it could help me win and show District 12 that I'm sorry. It could get honor to the girl on fire.
My thoughts were cut off when I heard a canon. Someone died on the feast, who?
...
I waited until the night to find out who died. It was a guy from 11. The strong and big one.
Now there are three careers left and me. Marvel, Cato and Clove. I hided my face in my hands, how am I supposed to fight them? No, I can't give up. I won't fight, I will out smart them.
When the morning came I was sure that the careers were still sleeping. I managed to find them. I was very quiet, every move could get me killed. Then I took out a torch and set the dry grass on fire.
Soon, I ran away while the fire woke up the careers. I hope District 12 watches and that they know that I'm sorry for killing their girl on fire.
I got away from the fire and watched it from the distance.
I heard one canon, later at night it turned out to be Marvel's.
...
At night, I woke up by some weird sound. It was like, some animals coming. I got alarmed when I heard a canon.
I spotted mutts ripping Clove's body apart. I don't what she was doing here and why Cato wasn't with her. He probably escaped while leaving her behind. It's not a suprise, the careers often betray eachother at the end.
Some mutts tried to jump on my tree but they couldn't climb. I was terrified and my heart was racing. I decided to get to another tree and hoping that I won't fall. There are two tributes left, I can't die now.
I moved on the trees and got to the edge of the forest. The mutts were under me and I couldn't get down.
But some mutts were after Cato. He was trying to climb the Cornucopia but he was too weak.
I noticed so many injuries on him. Burn scars from the fire and wounds from the beasts. He didn't stand the chance when one of the mutts ripped off his leg. He shouted from pain and fell on the ground, I watched as the they ripped his body apart.
And then it happened.
Finch or Foxface from District 5 became the victor of the 74th Hunger Games.
You think that I lived happily ever after? Well, you're wrong. No victor had ever done that.
I went back to District 5 and the games were hunting me. Cato and Clove being ripped apart, me killing Rue and Katniss. Everything hunts me to this day.
