| ---District 9---Female---16---Anima kept running. For a minute she tried to follow the boy from District 1, he looked to be on his last leg and she wanted that rope he had. But then she lost him in the sand that moved around her. Oh well...maybe she would find him before his body would be taken up in the hovercraft. At this time at least that was the hope. So instead of needlessly looking she just kept moving forwards, letting her stride carry her further and further into the arena. Normally she would be able to sustain her run, but in an arena in the desert with no water she instead tried to conserve her energy as much as she possibly could. No point in trying to push herself far past her limits if she had no way to try and replenish that energy. Though she did have an apple, she hoped to try and hold out as long as she could before actually biting into her one and only food supply.
Her journey through the sand was uneventful, she passed no one as she silently made her way across the constantly changing surface under her feet. Luckily enough this tunic she was wearing was lightweight and baggy and it allowed for a decent enough amount of wind to push up against her skin, cooling her slightly but not very much as the wind was still dry and warm. But soon enough she spotted an area with a palm tree, with a sweet spot of shade underneath it just ready to be rested under. Anima walked over and sat down, the sand shifting underneath her slightly as her butt met against the surface and pushed it away slightly from the point of impact. The rest was welcomed as she let herself relax only slightly, her back was still straight and her ears still open to any sort of changes around her and of course her shield was still firmly gripped in her hands in case she needed to make a run for it or something. Anima waited for a moment, trying to hear if anything had changed. After hearing nothing at least for that moment she decided to take a look at her surroundings, noticing the palm tree above her. She looked around in the fronds, trying to see if there was maybe a coconut or something up there that she could try to get down. Coconut milk would make a great hydration option and was full of vitamins and such, it would also double as food. She also attempted to look around and see if there was anything else of interest around her, but the ground was not where she paid most of her attention as her eyes still kept looking up in hopes of a bounty hiding in the trees.

| Wheezing and limping, Nate made his way towards the Palm Tree. Could it actually be real? He hoped that the heat had not gotten to him and what he was seeing was simply an illusion of the worst kind. Hallucinations could only make his luck even more terrible. He drew closer and decided it had to exist. Nate thought for a moment of the possibilities the palm tree held: shade, a vantage point, and even better, coconuts! Nate licked his lips at the thought of smashing a coconut against the trunk of the tree and drinking the life sustaining liquid inside. The friction of his dry tongue on his cracked lips made him wince in pain, but the was rapidly overshadowed by the sharp pain in his leg and stomach every time he took a step.
As Nate approached the area he saw someone else.... a girl. She was looking into some kind of bush in the area around the tree. Nate focused on her face, trying to see through his dirt covered lenses. Then it hit him: Anima! The girl from District 9 he had met back in training. Nate became worried. This girl seemed dangerous. She had no ties to anyone and, from what he had seen on the battlefield, would kill anyone! Nate thought for a moment and decided it was either take his chances in the desert or take his chances with the girl. At least if she killed him it would hopefully be quick. Nate's voice barely escaped his mouth. "Hey..." | |

| Nate had got her attention. Sadly, this wasn't the best of times. Out of the bush came a small snake that latched itself onto Anima's arm. Nate froze for a moment and watched as she battled with it and then came down on it with her shield. Nate wasn't quite sure what to do. While keeping his eye on the snake (just in case) he took a step towards Anima, who was trying to suck the poison from her arm.
He thought for a second and then spoke again. "Do you have any first aid? I could help you bandage up your bite." It was a long shot, but maybe if he could help her, she would return the favor. They could always part after, no harm, no foul. Or, she could even reject him and not want his help. But without any other options this was Nate's best choice. | |

| Jared had made it away from the rhinos...finally. He came to a place with palm trees and carefully went in. He thought he heard others there, so he carefully crept around. He hid behind every tree there was, making sure to check over his shoulder and around him for pursuers. He also checked the ground for signs of a mutt...he didn't need to deal with any more of those. He used all his experience from stalking people in District 11. He already had his sword out, but he held it so that he made as little noise as possible. When he finally saw people, he noticed the boy he had fought before...and the really dangerous looking chick from District 9. He stayed silent and looked at what they were fighting...it looked like a snake. His eyes quickly scanned the ground again, but he was careful not to panic and make noise. He sighed as he watched, also being aware of his surroundings...ready to dodge an attack or give on himself. | |

| The snake backed off, looking interested in the area beyond where the two tribute's were, it was in fact, looking directly at Jared. It quickly turned and slithered away, sensing bad odds. | |

| Nate watched as the snake fled, feeling lucky that he had avoided another attack. He wiped the sweat from his brow and paused. Then he remembered something. The snake had briefly focused on an area behind him before it left. It could be chance, but in the games you couldn't leave any stone unturned. Nate turned and saw a familiar face. Jared had found him. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or skill, but either way Nate didn't want to deal with him again if he could avoid it. He grabbed the truck of the palm tree and scurried up to the top in hopes of avoiding danger. | |

| ---District 9---Female---16---Anima's silent area has already been disturbed twice already, first by the kid from before and then by the snake that bit into her arm. She had rather enjoyed the silence that was around her until that point as she needed no one at all in this arena but herself. Having no ties to anyone proved to be easiest, especially since most of the other tributes offered her no advantages in the arena. She may not be the biggest tribute, but she was smart and resourceful. The kid from before spoke to her but before she really got a chance to respond she noticed something from the slithering snake that had been caught under her shield. As she observed it she noticed its attention shift, a very small shift in its behavior but one she just barely caught as it soon turned tail and fled the area. Anima shifted her eyes to the side as she caught a figure in her peripheral vision, blending in slightly with the sands behind them, but still she was able to make out a figure that suggested the person to the side of her was indeed human.
Great....another distraction and another interruption. And just as she turned her head fully towards the boy who was now there, the boy from 6 scurried up a tree like a scared monkey or something. Anima shifted her body now to face this new person and this new threat to her well being. He again did not look to have anything that would help her further if he was alive and in her mind he was deemed disposable. Whether he had friends though was the real question, but honestly she didn't care at this point. She was sick of the people interrupting her and pushing themselves into her business. Anima ran full speed ahead and as he legs pushed her forwards she swung the shield that she had now gotten so used to using as not only her protection but also her weapon at this newcomer hoping to hit him. After her swing she used the momentum from her movements to jump backwards and held the shield up, ready for an attack, ready for anything, and ready most of all for a fight.

| Jared rolls his eyes. "I...am sick and tired of things charging at me!" He rolls to his left, hoping to dodge the attack. "First rhinos, and now a girl with a shield. Why can't I run into friends for once..." He sighs and runs towards her, and swings his sword at her. He hoped Preston was following close by...he would need the support. He looked around, but didn't see any sign of Preston. He would have to make do without him for now. After he attacked, he backed away, so that the District 6 boy in the tree was in the corner of his sight. | |

| He rolls again, this time back and he rushes forward right after her swing to stab her. "You see, once you have friends, you have trust. And once you have their trust, they make easy prey. Friends are also the key to success in the games. Whether they're sponsors or tributes willing to die for you." Jared smirks prepares himself for another attack.

| Nate watched from high above while the two battled each other. He wasn't sure who to root for. On one hand, he wanted to see Jared gone. He had tried to kill Nate once before, so the likelihood that it would happen again was high. On the other hand Anima could be dangerous. She could take Nate out just to dispatch of anyone who knew where she had last been seen. The tension was mounting. Nate leaned forward to see more, but his hand slipped and he tumbled out of the tree landing with a hard THUD against the ground. | |

| I kept running, until I realised I was deep into a dark forest by palm trees. I stopped breathless. I took the basket out, only to find out the half and more of the water was gone. I drank some and chewed some of the leaves I collected. I wasn't sure whether I was safe anymore. This word didn't exist in here, but at least there were no more tributes around for now. I sat down and looked the sky through the peaks of the trees. It was pretty silent in here... and pretty lonely I thought feeling upsetful. | |

| Suddenly, I saw something falling on my lap. I looked up to the sky again and then the trees carefully. "Don't panic" I tried to tell my self. I examined the object carefully. I stood up and took off my sword. I couldn't stop staring it wondering what it might be. Perhaps my mind was distructed...or I had slept without noticing and now I had just woken up...Not even I knew. | |

| It appeared to be a small flower petal, it looked rather edible, green and lush. The more Kira stared at it, the more prominent her hunger became. | |
