Finding ours

Judge time and game time

"Congratulations."

"Thank You."

I replied. That night we celebrated our last night with Effie and Haymich. Tomorrow we will be in the games. Katniss and Petta tucked me and we slowly went to sleep in silence. When we woke up people were rushing around trying to get everything perfect. We were rushed on to this plane. Where they stuck this thing in our arms. I was separated from Petta and Katniss. I was then put in this tube. My heart started to beat heavily in my chest. The tube was lifted up. I looked around and saw that we were in the woods. With a cornucopia in fthe middle of it. Supplies was everywhere. The count down started and soon people were running. I saw Petta run in the woods. So I grabbed two bags and ran after him. But I tripped on something and fell. Petta quickly turned around and I smiled.

"Look what I got!"

I said.

He smiled and helped me up. He grabbed one of the book bags and we started walking around. I jumped as each boom can be heard. I frowned as we walked deeper into the woods.

"Dad."

He looked at me.

"Yeah."

"Is Mom alright?"

"I'm sure she's fine. She is smart."

I nodded and thats when we stopped at one spot.

"Lets see whats  in here."

I nodded and we went through the bags. We had two ropes. A few weapons. And matches. We put the stuff away and I begin to weave a basket.

"How did you do that?"

Katniss said.

"I visited another district when I was younger and they taught me how to do this."

"Can you do other things?"

I nodded and finished the basket.

"Hey,you?"

Petta and I looked up. Cato and the careers were walked toward us. Petta immediately whispered.

"When I say run. Run."

I grabbed his arm.

"We're not gonna hurt you, or her. We want you and her on our team."

I frowned and said.

"What do you want from us?"

"We want you to be on our team."

"Why?"

Petta said.

"So we can kill Katniss, loverboy."

My eyes widened.

"No!"

"She's right I'm not killing Katniss."

Cato chuckled.

"See, you don't get it. If you don't join us. We'll kill you. I mean it's us against you two, right? How can you possibly win."

I frowned and walked in front of Cato.

"As you may know. Im the most valuable kill. Why go for second best?"

Petta grabbed my arm.I shook it off. Cato thought about it and smirked.

"You do have a brain in that stupid head if yours."

He grabbed an arrow and I closed my eyes.

"No!"

I opened my eyes to see Petta had attacked Cato. My eyes widened.

"Alma, run!"

I stood there.

"Run!"

I quickly ran the other direction. I didn't know long I was running, not until I ran into someone. I looked up frighten.

"I'm not gonna hurt you."

She said.

"I'm Rue."

"I'm Alma."

She helped me up.

"Why are you scared? You are the most skilled at this then anybody."

She asked as we walked around.

"I don't know. I guess I just don't like to hurt people. Plus, the other tributes are scary."

"I'm sure you can't take them. Once instincts kicked in."

I smiled at her.

"You're my new best friend."

She laughed.

"And you are mine."
