I stubble of the stage and into the line of Tributes, i was breathing rapidly and shaking. The games were tomorrow, it was all hitting me at once. A person grabbed my waist and pulled me aside; Cato. I almost groan when i see his face, he's going to think I'm weak.

"Are you okay?" I nod squeezing my eyes shut. "Let me take you to your room."

His arm was still wrapped around my waist, my face would be bright red if it wasn't for the panic attack i was having. He takes me to my room and sits me on my bed, "Just breathe." he whispers.

My hands shook violently as i tried to focus on my breathing, it wasn't working. "Eyes on me." He grabs my chin and we lock eyes, my chest starts to move a little slower. I'm pretty sure my heart was going to beat out of my chest though, his hands found mine. I finally catch my breath, he smiles; its funny though, he was going to kill me tomorrow.

Butterflies filled my stomach, his eyes flickered downward. Was he staring at my lips? His face seemed closer than before, is he going to kiss me?

"Becca!" The door bursts open revealing Wyatt, Emery, and Wiress. Cato pulls away and a blush consumes my face.

"Uh," Wyatt mutters, Emery steps forward.

"Whats going on in here?" She asks and i stand up.

"She was having a panic attack, so i brought her to her room." The blue eyed boy said honestly, standing up too.

"Well, thank you Cato but we need to have a little chat with Becca." He nods and rushes out of the room, Emery's face was red.

"What was that? Don't you know only one Tribute can win the Games?" She says and i flinch.

"He was just being nice and helping me, there's nothing going on between us."Β 

"Yeah, okay, sure."

"I really don't think its a good idea for a romance Becky." Wyatt pipes in and i almost roll my eyes, I'll show him a romance.

"Okay, i get it. Now can i have some privacy?" My words come out sarcastic and harsh but i meant it, they nod and leave.

Now that I'm alone, i strip from my clothes and wipe off the makeup. I jump into my bed and close my eyes, I'll give everyone a show; especially Emery and Wyatt.

My hair was placed in a high pony tail and i wore a maroon color shirt, i was boarded onto the Hovercraft. I don't think I've even been as full as i am, i ate so much and I'm really starting to regret it. Wyatt wasn't on the same Hovercraft as me, which i was glad for; i didn't want to see him. Not yet. I sit down on one of the seats, ironically by Marvel and Glimmer. Across was Cato, Clove was farther down.

A lady goes around placing something in peoples arms, she gets to me and shoves the thing in my arm. I try not to flinch, but do it anyway. "I've always hated shots," I look up at Cato as he rubs the spot where the lady ejected it.

"Me too." I mutter, Marvel leans over to my ear.Β 

"We're going to meet up at the Cornucopia after the bloodbath," His words send shivers down my spine, i nod.

"Is there anyone you want to kill yourself?" Glimmer asks and i turn to her, i shake my head no.

"No ones really tried to pick a fight with me, so no." The Hovercraft engine starts and it lifts up, i grip the edge of my seat as it takes off to my fate.

Lets just hope i survive.

"Here," I'm handed a jacket by my head stylist Pixel, it was light weight so the Arena had to be a warm climate.

I put on the jacket, my heart was pounding as we stood by the capsule. "Can i get you anything?"

"No." He pulls me into his arms as a Peacekeeper enters.

"We need her in the capsule." He pulls away, and frowns know this might be the last time he'll see me.

"Good luck, and may the odd be ever in you favor." With that i was in the capsule, Pixel waves but is hit in the head with the Peacekeepers gun. A sob escapes my throat, i pound on the glass as screams only myself could hear. The gun goes off as the capsule moves upwards.

It was all my fault Pixel was now dead, i threw that stupid spear at that painting and he was dead because of it. I know that's why they killed him. A tear slips down my face as the capsule opens and the Arena is revealed. I look around me, it was a forest. The cornucopia stood in the middle weapons of all kinds were littered around, my eyes found the spear; that's what i need.

I look around for Wyatt and Cato, i find the younger boy. He was looking at the ground around the place he was standing, smart Wyatt. He was looking at the landmine that would explode if you got off your pedestal early. I find Cato next and he was staring right at me, he nods his head towards the spear and sword next to each other. I nod back, the sound signaling 10 seconds went off. I got in a running position and tightened my pony tail, i took a deep breath and let it out.
