I get so lost in the arena I feel like I'm home again. The buildings all look so familiar and welcoming, even though I know that inside it is just an empty shell. Put here to make the tributes homesick and weak. I was lucky to get away from Yongshi, but I have a feeling that next time I won't have any tricks up my sleeve. It makes me happier that there was no bloodbath, AKA the sickest part of the games. The part in the beginning where they pick off the weak contestants to make a more... Entertaining show. I scan my surroundings. There is nowhere to hide. I feel like I am betrayed. How could they make a Games with nowhere to hide? The buildings are made of metal, impossible to cut open and hide in. Suddenly I hear a cannon being shot. What does that mean? Since I never watched the Hunger Games, I don't get every rule. My father told me the essentials of it when I turned 10, but I didn't get all the details. Was it gunfire? Missiles? Something sent by the Gamemakers? I have no clue. I take one step and a bomb explodes behind me.
