The Capitol Games

The Arena Part Two

I grabbed my knives and Tristan grabbed his spear,
in case we were attacked while we picked the poison berries.

Soon we'd filled the tube and added a few other berries on top that weren't poison.

I admired our work.
"This will work for sure Dawn!" Tristan praised.

I blushed and kissed him.

For show of course,
keeping the viewers interested in the romance.

Now that the work was complete,
it was time to find some unexpecting tributes.

"We have to stick together,
grab the supplies in case we find another place to stay." I said to Tristan.

We grabbed our supplies and headed out.

We walked around until nightfall,
yet we didn't see any signs of tributes.

Suddenly, Tristan tapped my on the shoulder.

"Dawn! I see some tributes!"
I glanced to my left and saw a group of tributes.

They sat around a fire talking.
I saw that they had a HUGE stock if supplies.

"Perfect." I whispered.

Tristan and I climbed up a tree completely silent.
I gripped the tube of fruit and positioned myself to drop it.

I let go, and the tube floatrd down.
The tributes rushed around it.

"Sponsors!" one cheered and grabbed the tube.
I smiled, the plan was working!

A girl grabbed one of the berries from the top,
one of the non-poison ones.

Suddenly,
they all started grabbing and stuffing their faces!

Within 5 seconds they dropped dead.
Cannons went off, they were dead.

"Wow..." Tristan muttered.

A silver parachute landed next to us,
filled with bread.

"Praise for a job well done." I said to Tristan with a smile.
We took the tube and walked back to our cave.

When we reached it,
it seemed to be early morning.

"Let's get some rest." I said and lied down on the floor.
I used a backpack as a pillow.

Tristan went next to me and we dozed off.
We woke the next morning at late afternoon and ate some bread.

"Tristan, you know what?"
"What?" He asked.

"I think we're going to win the Hunger Games."
