I wake up to find that it is still dark. I look over the edge and see the careers sleeping. I then look to Rory, who also is sleeping.

'This could be our only chance to escape,' I think.

"Rory, wake up," I whisper as I lightly shake him.

He wakes up almost immediately.

"Is something wrong?" he asks.

"No, the careers are asleep and maybe we can escape, but we have to be really quiet."

"Okay, grab your bag and we'll head down."

I put a couple knives in my belt and throw my bag over my shoulder. Rory and I start to climb down. I go quickly and quietly, with Rory right behind me. We are about seven feet from the ground when Aurora wakes up. She lifts her head, looks around then lies back down.

Rory and I get to the ground and start to slowly walk away when we hear,

"Well, well, well... look who it is."

We both quickly turn around to see Aurora standing there with her bow loaded. I start to reach for my knife when she says,

"Oh, I wouldn't do that honey. You grab that knife I will shoot you and your partner."

"Why don't you call your whole ally and kill us together? It'll be more of a show for the Capitol," I say sarcastically.

"I want to kill you MYSELF, and don't worry I'll give the Capitol a show alright."

The moment she end her sentence she lets her arrow fly. I duck and take my knife and throw it. It lodges straight into her heart. She falls to the ground. The cannon sounds, which causes the others to wake. They see me and Rory and then they see Allison dead on the ground.

"We gotta get outta here!" Rory says.

He grabs my hand and pulls me and we run through the forest. My heart is pounding. We are running for our lives and we can hear the careers behind us.

We run for what seems like fifteen minutes, non stop, at full speed. I know I can't do this much longer. I look over my shoulder I see that the Careers are still behind us. How do we get them off our trail?

As we are running I see a fallen tree that hasn't quite fallen all the way. It's being held by a thick vine.

'Maybe if I can cut the vine with my knife, it will fall and let us get away,' I think.

I take out one of my thicker knives, in fear that my others won't cut it all the way, and throw it at the vine. It hits it and cuts the vine.

Rory and I barely make it before the tree hits the ground. The careers can't jump it, it's too big.

Rory and I still run, as far away as possible

If only we could run away from the hunger games itself.
