((How did I powerplay? I was just at a stream near them and Ava found salve, I thought that would be helpful. If I controlled Kit in any way, I apologize.
EDIT: Also, considering you didn't post till after me, I assumed you had already found a stream. If that bothers you, I could say that Avalia spotted one and went there without you XD))

(("I ran to a stream I had heard bubbling earlier, not thinking about looking out for people." "I passed the salve to Kit..." Kit was never at the stream. I'm not trying to make this into a problem, I just wanted to point out what it was. ^^
EDIT: That would work xD I ddin't read the edit till I had posted this. Sorry xD))

I realized Kit wasn't taking the medicine and turned. She wasn't there, but someone else was. I fumbled for my dagger and slammed it through the boy's chest, but not before he managed to stab my side with a small knife. "KIT!" I cried, taking out the knife as I tried to get the medicine onto the wound. My eyelids fluttered as I threatened to fall unconscious. NO! I had to survive...

Not having anything else to do, Joesph spent a while looking for dry sticks to use in a fire. He found a few, and sat down with them, trying to remember starting fires when he'd been training. He remembered it piece of by piece, using it to catch one stick on fire and have the rest followed. He fanned the smoke away with his hand. ((Bad, lazy and small post. :c)) |

I heard a voice scream "Kit!" off in the distance. I bolted to my feet and rushed after it. I knew who it was. Ava was in trouble. I heard two cannons go off in rapid succession and fastened my pace even more. It didn't take me but a minute after that to find Ava.
"Ava? Ava what happened?" I asked, my voice full of worry. It wasn't like me to get a voice like this. I had only had it once before, and that was when Darek was drowning. But, as you can clearly tell, I got him out of the water and breathing quick enough.
"Don't be dead. Come on, Ava. Come on!" I said. At this point it probably sounded over dramatic, but I didn't care. All the more sponsors, hu? Those Capitol fools were in love with all of this junk. I looked around and saw a boy with a dagger through his chest. He must have been the one that attacked Ava.
((And no, I'm not saying that Ava is dead. I'm saying that there is another tribute dead, but Kit thinks Ava is dead because of the cannon shots and the fact there is another tribute dead next to her.))

"Kit... I whimpered, trying to keep my hand on my side. "He stabbed me." I felt the blood seeping through my fingers. The open bottle of salve was in my hand and I shakil;y tried to get it on. The bloodflow slowed, but still went on. The salve wasn't staying on the wound. Tears fell from eyes and I shut them. I couldn't stay awake, something was beckoning me into sleep. I didn't see a light, so I obviously wasn't dead, but the alternitave was painful. I willed myself to speak, to say anything. "I found some healing salve." I opened my bloody palm with the bottle and let it fall from my hand. "Don't let me die." I choked, sobbing...

"I won't let you die." I said softly, but with a reassuring ferocity. I scooped her up in my arms, trying to hold my Trident as well. It was quite a feat, but I managed keep them both. I looked back to our corner and saw smoke curling up out of the trees.
That idiot. Bob thought.
That the hell was the thinking? To get himself killed? I hissed back at Bob.
Um... Bob commented.
Oh shut up. I hissed back at him. With Ava and my Trident in my arms, I rushed off back to our corner.
"Ava? Did I ever tell you about that time when my leg got caught in the seaweed?" I said trying to keep her awake. I knew that if she fell asleep, the chances of her living were far slimmer. We were only about half way there, and I was tiring with Ava and my trident in my arms.

[[Posting naow.]]
I walked through the forest, my whole body shaking. I couldn't stand killing anyone. Now I've killed more than I'd ever want to. I walked back to the horn. Bags and weapons remained. I grabbed 1 bag and searched through the others. I had grabbed the contents I needed from the other bags, and took one. I carried a bow in my hands, and a knife in the other. The backpack on my back, and my quiver right next to it. After what felt like hours of walking, I reached a small stream and a large tree. There was also a crevice. I looked at the crevice. If it was big enough to fit me, I could stay there. I stuck my foot into the crevice. Then, I three my bag off and hung it on a branch in the tree. Then, taking off my jacket, I squeezed into the crevice. In the crevice, it was a large place, and it had some light from cracks. I climbed out and grabbed my jacket and backpack and squeezed it into the crevice. Then, I retrieved my weapons. Dropping the knife into the crevice was easy, but the bow was a bit harder. I had to try many ways, but I finally slid it into the crevice.
(NOTE: The crevice would look somewhat like this: [tle="" href="http://www.goerieblogs.com/lifestyle/hertimes/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/crevice.jpg" target="">x])
I sat down in the small cave, rocking back and forth on my knees. I needed an ally. I couldn't ally up with the tributes for my District, for they'd kill me at the chance. I didn't know anyone else, except Vega. I doubt he's actually seen me before. I sighed. My last shot at an ally, I blew it.
I heard a scream. I woke up from my nap immediately. I squeezed my hands together. Now someone else has to die. Why? I thought. Then, two cannons fired. I watched as some dirt fell into the cave. I grabbed my jacket. Then, using the water bottle I had, I drank about half of it. Then, I used the rest to wash my hands which where now scaped and bleeding. I looked through my new bag. It had some bandages. I'll save it for later. I thought. Then, I pulled out a sandwich. My mouth nearly watered. I unwrapped the sandwich and ate at it greedily, munching and savouring each bite. By the time I had finished, I was full. I packed up my back and put my jacket on. I zipped my bag, and then fell over. 5 more cannons fired. One after another. I broke out into sobs. I didn't care if there was some hidden camera on me now. I couldn't help it. All those tributes dead. I had lost count by about 20. Then, at once, I heard a voice speak,
"Congratulations, tributes. So far, 75 are dead."
I choked. Then, let out moaning noises.
"We have revised our tradition. This year, there will be ten victors. They do not have to be from the same district, or the same gender."
I went silent.
"The Horn has been restocked. There is a bag for each tribute. It is marked with your district number and you name."
"Good luck, and may the odds be forever in your favor."
I had to get to the horn.

I tried to laugh, but it came up as a cough. "you, a swimmer from District 4, got caught in seaweed?" I croaked, my eyes twinkling with unheard laughter. "Can you tell me the story?" I asked, remembering my sister and how she used to tell me stories all the time. One about mythical animals and mutts and different horrendous things. They scared me at first, but I soon realized that she was just trying to be funny...

I heard the announcement and quicken my pace. I realized that my trident was weighing me down too much, so I stopped for a moment, then set it down and covered it with a few leaved with my foot.
"Well, it was when I was only seven, and I didn't know Darek, my best friend. I was wondering around one day, and I thought I saw something in the distance, way off in the ocean. And you have to remember, I've never even known what my family looked like before they died, so I had grown up completely on my own. Because of that, I learned how to swim very quickly and efficiently. But back to the story. I decided to swim out to it. I only got a few feet into the water when... Boom! The bank dropped right off. I wasn't expecting it, so I went right under. It wasn't that deep, only about ten feet, but the seaweed saw stronger than stone. So when I went down, my leg got caught. It took almost three minutes for me to be pulled out. By that point I was unconscious. If it hadn't been for Joesph, I would have died. I owe him my life. But don't you dare tell him I even know it was him. Got it?" I said the last part with authority. "I would die if Joesph knew that I even remembered that, let alone saw that it was him who saved me. As far as I know, he thinks I didn't even realize I had been saved. Just that I had gotten out eventually by myself..." I said, trailing off into thought as I often did.
I was almost back to the camp. Only about one quarter left to go from the time we had started.
