I never thought I would do it, joining those backstabbing jerks. All they do is show off and boast about how much better they are then you. To think that this is the only way to survive, it is unbearable. But this is why I had to do it.

When the tube started to rise, my heart felt like a ticking time bomb. All I could think about is the fact that Katniss could die. When I got to the top I could see everybody I frantically looked for Katniss, too my relief she’s to my left. All I could think about is what hay Mitch said “run for the woods get as far away from the others as possible.” My urge to run and kiss Katniss is breaking down the ways I am thinking. At the last moment my common sense kicks in and I decide to run, as I look away we make eye contact. That was all I need, I know what I am going to do. 3….2….1…0- the buzzer goes off, the millions of people watching wondering who will die first. I see all of the people running towards the middle where the weapons are, I turn towards the woods the start sprinting, at the last moment in the corner of my eye I see her. She has gotten in a fight with the girl form district 2; I can’t bear watching, I run into the woods.

I need to find a source of water, quick before the careers take over it. They always seem to know where it is. Wait I hear something, behind me! I run over to a rock crevice and try not to make a sound.

 “Well hello Mr. Mellark, relax we don’t want to kill you, we just want to make a deal with you.” One of the careers said in an evil tone.

“What do you want?!” I said in a scared voice.

“We would just like to make a business deal.” They said laughing.

“Okay what is it?” I said still uneasy.

“We want you to join us.” As one of the ones in the back laughs.

“Why in the world would you want me to join your group?” I said questioning them.

“You are somewhat of a threat to us.” They said.

“How?” still uneasy.

“Katniss loves you so she will do anything for you including killing us.”

“Wow admitting there is a threat is a big deal to you, it must be serious.” I said laughing.

“Stop! We didn’t come here too joke, you either join us or we kill you, and Katniss.” They said.

“No way your killing Katniss, you got a deal.” I said mad at myself.

“Good now we will go try to find other tributes and kill them!” they said confidently.”
