"Katniss Everdeen is a symbol. We don't have to destroy her, just her image." ~ Plutarch Heavensbee

"Alright, let's see what's in these bags" Marvel says to me as we sit down on the ground by the lake. We had three feast bags; District 1's, District 2's and District 11's. "Here's yours" I say to Marvel, handing him the bag with the green label marked with the number one. I look at his right ear. It looked like the ear of a stray alley cat that got into a bloody fight. I look back down at my bag. It was mostly gray with a red label marked with the number 2. "Let's open our's first, then see what was in Thresh's" I say. "Deal" Marvel says. We open our bags at the same time. "Food!" I exclaim as I open my pack. Inside was a can of chicken broth, a large sleeve of saltine crackers, two apples, 3 baggies of baby carrots, a full water bottle, iodine tablets and a spoon for the broth. "I got a medical pack!" Marvel said with joy. He removes the items from his bag. Inside was a box of Band-Aids, gauze, sun screen, tweezers, antibiotic ointment packets, antiseptic wipes packets, asprin, ibuprofen, an ice pack, a roll of cloth tape, numbing cream and bug spray. "Let's see what Thresh got" I say. I grab Thresh's gray and black bag and open it up. I reach inside and pull out Thresh's gift. "Mother of god" Marvel says when he see's what was inside. In my hand was a sword. But it wasn't an ordinary sword. This sword was collapsible, and had a blade with dark purple edges. "There's a note, too" I say, pulling the small slip of paper off the weapon. "To defend yourself, my love. The blade has a poisonous edge that is deadly if inside body. You can do it. ~Fawn" I read. "Who's Fawn?" Marvel asks. "How should I know?" I say, crumbling up the paper. "This is so cool" Marvel says, admiring the fancy, Capitol weapon. "Yeah, just don't hurt yourself" I say sarcastically. "Don't worry, I'm a big boy" Marvel replies sarcastically. I let out a quiet laugh. "By the way, who's left?" Marvel asks me. "Hmmm, let's see. There's us two aaaandd..........the red head" I say. "Woah, WAIT. So you're saying there's only three of us left?" Marvel says in shock. I begin to smile. "Yeah, only-" I begin to say. A cannon booms. "Two..." I finish.

Marvel and I crouched behind the bushes by the entrance to the empty field where the Cornucopia sat. Cato was right. The Gamemakers completely cleared out the space that was once our campsite, leaving nothing but fresh, green grass around the golden horn. I clutched my favorite knife in my hand, with all of my other knives in my black vest. Marvel held two spears in his right hand. "The sun is rising" I say, pointing to the bright yellow patch shining through the bottoms on the trees. As soon as the sun began to rise, a long, silver table rose out of the ground in front on the Cornucopia. The split second it stopped rising, a red-headed girl ran out from the inside of the Cornucopia, grabbed the bag with the number 5 on it, and vanished into the woods. "She got away" Marvel said, sounding slightly defeated. "That's okay. She's not our problem" I say. I ready myself to sprint out onto the field. "Remember. I'm right here. I'll be keeping an eye on you at all times" Marvel says. "I know" I say. I give Marvel a quick kiss, and prepare to fight. I leap off the ground and run out, tightly gripping my weapon. I look at the table as I quickly approach it. There are bags with the numbers 1, 2 and 11 on them. The District 5 bag was already taken by the red head. As soon as I'm about to grab the District 2 bag, somebody else grabs it first. Somebody with large, strong, familiar hands. "Cato!" I exclaim. "Clove?" Cato exclaims, sporting a crooked half smile. A cannon booms. The bag falls out of Cato's hand. I look over towards Cato, and scream. In Cato's place is a huge boy with dark skin and golden eyes. Thresh. He held a bloody dagger in his clenched fist. Cato was on the ground at my feet, blood leaking through his shirt where Thresh stabbed him. I let out a horrifying shriek at the sight. I darted away from Thresh, screaming in fear. "Clove!" I hear Marvel shout, running towards the feast. As he's running, he throws one of his spears at Thresh. I fall to the ground to avoid being hit. The spear flies through Thresh's shoulder, blood pouring out of the wound. Thresh let's out an excruciating scream, falling to the ground. He attempts to remove the weapon from his body, but the spear appears to be lodged inside a bone. Thresh raises the dagger he used to kill Cato with his good arm. He sends the dagger flying through the air towards Marvel, who is 12 feet away. The dagger flies past Marvel's head, slicing off a part of his ear. He yelps, tossing his last spear to me. I catch the spear in my left hand, still holding my knife in my right. I storm towards Thresh with my weapons. Thresh is lying on the ground, suffering from his speared shoulder. I raise my spear, and then quickly bring it down into Thresh's throat. A cannon booms. I rip the spear out of his throat, handing it to Marvel. "I told you I'd be fine" I said to Marvel.
