xxx---The moment of truth and the moment to lie
xxx---The moment to live and the moment to die
xxx---The moment toxxf i g h txxand the moment toxxf i g h txxx---TO FIGHT TO FIGHT TO FIGHT Arden woke with a start. The dawn was just slithering through the clouds, and it was time to head to the Cornucopia. The first thing she felt was how thirsty she was. Arden groaned. It really was time to get to the Cornucopia. Kill a few kids, she better.
First, it was breakfast time. A good breakfast is equal to a good day. First Arden went fishing like she had last night. It had been so easy last night, Arden was hoping for the same ease today. She left her meagre supplies at the shelter (it was only bee sting salve and the last remaining worm bait. However, so took the bow and quiver with her. She could afford to lose maybe a serving of fish and some comfort if she did get stung, but there was no way she was losing her weapon. In a minute, Arden was down at river. Thankfully, she had the wits to place her shelter near the water, so she could make it back in a few strides. This time, the fishing took longer and was more tedious. She didn't get the luck like she had yesterday. It took a good ten minutes to catch one, and then a few more minutes to catch the second. In a quarter of an hour, she had a breakfast. Arden planted this memory in her mind: the waterfall was a great place for fishing.
Before eating the fish, Arden went around finding maybe some more food. Blessed, there were some sort of melon up the cliff by the waterfall. She recalled from her studies it was bittermelon. And it was edible! Arden swiftly climbed up the rock, using her training for rockclimbing. The foot holders of the rock wall were smaller and slippery-er but after all, this was a real live rock. After a while, she had claimed three bittermelon and was sitting in her shelter, eating her first bites. It was bitter, obviously, but it felt good in her stomach nonetheless. She also started a fire, now that it was in the morning and she was more energized and ready to fight if an attack does happen, and cooked the fish right there on the wood. Faster that way. She ate the fish with the stick again-- somehow, it was next to Arden's head when she woke up-- and finished her breakfast right there.
Now it was time for the Cornucopia. Arden quickly tore down her shelter and threw some wood into the fire. She was not letting the tributes take advantage of her knowledge and skill, and she was also luring the tributes in for a goose chase. They thought someone would be here, but in fact, she would be hunting people down at the Cornucopia. Her throat burned with thirst, only making her hurry up. Throwing everything in her quiver as well as she could, she slung both the bow and quiver over her shoulder and ran south, down to the Cornucopia.

xxx---The moment of truth and the moment to lie
xxx---The moment to live and the moment to die
xxx---The moment toxxf i g h txxand the moment toxxf i g h txxx---TO FIGHT TO FIGHT TO FIGHTThe moment Arden heard the rush of the waterfall, she ran to the river and set down immediately, starting to fish. A good half hour of sitting there, Arden stood up with 3 fish in her hands, good for the night. She headed back to her old camp, noticing that nothing had been tampered with. Good, good. Arden relit the fire, using help from slightly hot embers that look like it's just been blown out several hours prior. Arden was shocked that the fire had lasted so long in the first place. Anyway, Arden repeated the steps she did to light the fire in the first place. In another half hour,Arden had cooked all three fish, put out the fire and moved over about 100 feet. Just in case someone did notice and come over. That way, Arden was safe, but she could easily come in for the kill after.
She spotted another tree near the river. Grabbing large branches and recovering as much as she could from her old shelter, and created a new one against the tree. Hidden in her shelter, Arden began picking apart the fish with yet another stick she picked up, using her new found scythe to sharpen it a touch. Then, Arden simply picked up her supplies and settled down, waiting for the flashes of faces.
The moment the Panem anthem started playing, Arden came out from under the shelter to look up at the faces. Arden took out her water bottle and took a sip. The first ones to show up were D1. Both of them. Arden gasped, almost choking. She stopped her drinking, still holding onto the water bottle. The two other tributes from the Careers have died. Arden was the only Career district that was left. She choked her own breathing, tears almost coming into her eyes. No one had killed them, since most people had been in the mountains like she had been. Maybe they had died fighting each other. Or maybe they had died from hunger or thirst. It was a horrible way to pass, and Arden suddenly found herself pitying them. Arden hardly paid attention to the remaining 3. She only caught sight of the last tribute: D12. She smiled bitterly. At least puny girl gets a taste of her own poison. Arden crawled back into her shelter and tried to go to sleep. She couldn't, so instead she drained the water and the went to sleep.
time skip to the morning
It was morning, and Arden finally woke up. She still had a bitterness in her mouth, but overall, she was feeling fine. She grabbed yet another water bottle and drained half of that, then a little more, until there was only a third left and her thirst was satisfied. For breakfast, Arden took out the last remaining bittermelon and ate it. It settled her stomach. This time, the bitterness didn't even faze her.
After breakfast, Arden wandered around the waterfalls, and finally found a berry patch! Arden picked a few and packed them into her empty water bottle. She left the rest, and set off back to her camp. Arden decided today that she was going to want an ally. The Careers were out, so she had to go around picking up the remainders. Since there were only half the tributes left, each one has to have at least one kill, right? Good enough for her. And especially that Arden has had enough of being alone. There can only be 2 victors, so it was best to have someone you knew anyway.

TRIBUTE
When I continued to follow the career 's path I found her in a cave.Looking around I started to climb the waterfall nitching myself right above the carreers cave in a comfortable spot noticing my climbing was getting better.laying down I waited for her to come out or perhaps think out loud which probrably would not happen staying quiet as can be I put on my sweat shirt hiking boots and pants making myself warm. But keeping one eye towards the cave. After looking in the night sky after the anthem played I decided that The career would be going to sleep right now.Not grabing my sleeping bag so I could have a easy escape with gathering all my stuff I slept in my tribute uniform and hiking warm clothes which was better then a sleeping bag.
Day 6
Waking up early so I could gather befor I had to watch the career who come to remmber's name is ARden a preety name for being grown up to kill people but who am I to judge my body's been craving killing people ever since accidently killed a tribute. Looking up I saw a rasberrie bush.Looking at my hiking boots I thought lucky me and started to climb with them.Finally getting up there I collected 3 servings of rasberries then being risky I climbed all the way to were I saw bitter melon.Reaching for the first melon as I grabbed it and had it in my hand I lost my balance and fell landing right out side of the careers cave.Getting up quickly I ran off and back to the ledge over the cave before arden had a chance to see me or find and kill me.

Day: 7
I followed the river for what have must been a couple hours until the area was covered in a shadow, hiding from the sun. I'm back at the mountains? I think to myself. But the 30 or so trees ahead proved me wrong as I began to hear a constant sound of crashing water. Another half hour spent running tree-to-tree became cooler and cooler and louder and louder until there I was, at the base of a giant, beautiful waterfall.
Instinct took in and I instantly made eye-contact with a nook to the left of the waterfall. Not really a cave, but a covered ledge stood 20 feet above ground to the left of the fall. I climbed a nearby tree to get a better look only to see that another tall tree lead right too the cranny.
I made my way to the tree at the base of the ledge and quickly climbed up it, in total excitement and relief. I gathered myself on the ledge and threw my backpacks down. It went back around 20 feet and extended out another 10 feet. I estimated it to be around 240 square feet. I giant area really extending at one point behind the fall. I rewarded my journey with a 2 servings of fresh water from one of my canteens and a big piece of beef jerky. The area was beautiful. There was no way I would sleep right here in the open, but hiding behind the falls was a good place to cool down.
For the first time, I felt like I have a chance of victory. I killed a tribute and if I need to kill another, I will. It's the first time I could confidently say that.

Location: Waterfall
Day: 7
I decided to take a stroll around the area, it isn't exactly my nature to spend my day sitting there the whole day...
I dropped down the tree and looked around the base of the waterfall. I kneeled down and tested the temperature of the water with my hand. It was cool, but not cooled. I decided to kick off my boots and wade in the water. Instantly, I felt two snaps on the side of my right foot. I leap back, 2 crayfish clamped on my right foot. I fling my foot down at the ground and the 2 crayfish fly off, smashing themselves dead a few feet away. The outside of my foot was in pain, but blood was not drawn. I slid my boots back on and grabbed the 2 dead little beasts.
Returning to my camp, I begin to realize I have more food than even the wealthiest residents of District 11 did. I pick up my equipment to find a more hidden area to spend the night in.
I climb back down the tree and in almost no time, I've found a cave about 5 minutes away from the base of the waterfall. I slid my night vision glasses back on and looked into the cave. It was maybe only 10 yards deep, but there was nothing in it. The entrance wasn't as covered as the one on the mountain, but that could be changed using the brush and fallen trees around the area.
I move into the cave, set down my equipment, and set out to collect bushes and lumber to block the entrance. I run into no living creature, but do return with plenty brush and lumber to hide the cave. Behind the cover, I make my signature snare, now with the hooks on it.
I could finally relax again, although the lack of a strong weapon was starting to worry me a little. At least I'll certainly not starve or dehydrate to death. I could live off my current resources for weeks.

Mood:dissapointment
Last night I look up in the sky to see the anthem playing and one face apears in the sky.I fix my arms behind my head like you would do underneath the stars less uncomfortable because I am on rocks but good.Looking up I see my allie arvil I hardly even talked to the kid and now she is dead.I wonder how the heck did that happen.I relied on two different people and both of them die right there in the midist of the games. My head lowered.I knew now for sure that I could not kill the career no matter what.I decided that I would leave and camp out somewhere hidden untill the numbers get to 2 would be my best bet.Grabbing my stuff I fled.Heading for my own cave in the waterfalls I got close untill I saw him a district tribute in a cave above mine near the waterfalls.There were 2 routes to the cave I am thinking about The route that is easiest The tribute will see me going threw the harder one he wont so I decided to go threw the harder way getting on rocks I jumped and jumped untill I was in my cave below the district 11 guy.Quietly I unpacked all of my stuff. Tearing up once again at being so alone in life. Then I saw it and this made me tear up more arvils stuff with a red streak of blood on it.I cried but I knew I had to win now for the poor younger 12 year old who never new what life was thinking about it in actuality this is not life.Taking her stuff and consalidating everything I sat down thinking about what to do next.
looking down I saw a half made bee sting cream taking it I made more of it.Grabbing all of my stuff I decided to forage for a bit. once again so the district 11 tribute did not see taking the long way out jumping rocks.When I came back I did not come back with anything but I did find a large spiked hammer that a tribute must of abandoned taking it I put it in my pocket of my sweat shirt the one right across my stomach you know.Taking all of my other weapons and tucking them all in neat spots plus taking arvils weapon I was ready.Grabbing some sips to drink and deciding to eat some fresh meat for a change and trying out the bittermelon which by the way the name says it all I layed down looking up as the sun was getting ready to set.

In the past day, the only thing she had done was look for food and water, and hide in her shelter near the water, half zoned out. Her bow was always in hand, of course, but she had never used it, at all. The scythe's only use was to sharpen that stick days ago. Arden twisted in her make-do shelter, recalling the events she had did the last two days after the remaining Careers died. She was shocked she wasn't dead herself.
First she had stumbled upon the bittermelon "garden" she had before, and grabbed three bittermelon again. She had then ate one, right there. Two servings of the sweet berries she had ate too. She had also drained the rest of her water bottle already opened, then another half of the other. Later on in the day, she had found some plants which Arden vaguely recalled to be dandelions, which were edible. Big mistake, because they weren't. Instead, Arden was covering in hives. She fingered the shadows of the remaining hives on her skin in the darkness, itching a little. She then drank the rest of the water bottle, leaving only one left.
Earlier today, she had only went and found the bittermelon place again. This time, she was sloppier, though. Her foot slipped after grabbing the first bittermelon, falling and twisting her ankle. She ate that one too, to prove that she still got something out of a small injury.
After that, Arden was still foraging around until she found what she needed. Herbs. Quickly shoving one in her mouth, Arden healed herself a little with the hives. She ate another one sometime later, she forgot, and now she was nibbling on the last one. Then she drank another third of her water and sat here.
How useless she was. Arden was actually aware that two other tributes where hiding around the waterfalls, in their caves. She made no effort to chase them down, however, even though two extra dead tributes would be nice. She was in no mood or shape to fight. Stupid hives, stupid falling. Those that tolled her health a little, but Arden was still as determined to get out of the Arena alive as she had the first day. Only, maybe she would try the next day...

TributeI looked around the next day packing up my stuff there was only 8 of us left out of the 24.I sighed 24 and it became 8 in 8 days wow I thought.I found more worm bait as I was packing up 5 worms.That will be enough for 5 more fish puting them in my pouch I decided I would fish tomorrow since I still have alot of meat to eat.Putting all of my stuff in the back of the cave I sat down towards the end of the cave.Feeling the water on my face felt good and I knew that I should take a shower right now but whats the sense of being clean if you will probrably die within 24 hours.Then it hit me I went back to when I thought about how there is 8 tributes left if that is true. could there happen to be a tribute that would be willing to allie up.Probrably Ginger started to go threw in her head who was still alive and who was not and from which districts.The ones from 3 and 5 I crossed off out of my head because they would certainly not allie with a diferent district if there district partner is still alive then I was left with 3 people who probrably are not allied yet.District 2 career no way I thought she was a career I am easy meat for someone like that I was actually surprised she did not kill me already.Then there were 2 people left guy from district 11 and girl from 8. both seemed a little far fetched as far as eaither of them ever wanting to be allies but they might decide to allie up .I shook my head I did not want to chance asking and them looking at me weirdly then killing me. I grabbed my newly found spiked hammer and smiled now I can do alot more damedge perhaps soon she will be back at district 12 with her sisters or perhaps she will be back but dead.My eyes widended i could not stand thinking about her sisters first loosing their our parents then her they would die. I started to think it would not hurt asking that tribute above me to be allies then if he says no I could try and kill him. Underlined word try.Getting up and taking nothing but my throwing knives plus spiked hammer I put my hand on the rocks right on the edge swing my legs up into the district 11s cave I looked down relizing if I fell I would fall tumbling into the waterfall on all of those spikey rocks and ridges.then I pulled my self up like a sit up action exsept not coming back down and bang I was in his cave looking around I saw him right there. Looking at him I smiled hi I am ginger.I noticed you up here and I was woundering wanna be allies? I said with my huge hammer ready if he attacked.

Day: 8
I woke up today at a slightly later time. Perhaps due to the lack of sleep the night. The sky had a slight light blue look, but I decided to start my day in the usual way; proceeding to lay down in my sleeping back, clearing my mind for the day.
I decided to get a little more comfy, laying some of my supplies out and having myself a meal for the morning; 2 rice crackers, a serving of dried fruit, and 2 servings of fresh canteen water.
Immediately, at the entrance of the cave I meet eyes with another tribute, wielding a giant hammer. She was certainly the district 12 tribute, I remember seeing here in the training room over a week ago. She smiled and spoke; "Hi, I am Ginger. I noticed you up here and I was wondering, wanna be allies?" After being alone for 8 days, an alliance sounded great. Plus, I had a lot of items I'd love to trade with an ally of some sort. "For sure! I'd love an allience with double-digit district tribute!"
I invited her into the cave and never felt too threatened.
"I have a lot of water, fishing, medical, and food items, would you be interested in trading for a weapon of some sort? All I have is a hunting knife and deboning knife. If you were being attacked, I don't know if a hunting knife would be good enough to kill off the attacker. Considering you have a large hammer, would you be interested in trading your chained mace or throwing knives? Maybe we could team up and take out some of the top district tributes."

Whilst waiting for an answer from Ginger, I took a step outside of the cave to get some fresh air, now a little more comfortable now that I know I have a a second body to help me.
Mixed in the plants I attempted to hide the entrance of the cave with, I found Helisis, Throman and Felincis, 3 plants used to make Bee Sting Salve. In the pile I also found a long, very strong vine; a strong, long rope.
I collected the plants, went back into the cave and started smashing the herbs together, making a complete bee sting salve. It came at great timing, showing my intelligence in front of my new ally.

xxx---The moment of truth and the moment to lie
xxx---The moment to live and the moment to die
xxx---The moment toxxf i g h txxand the moment toxxf i g h txxx---TO FIGHT TO FIGHT TO FIGHTArden had said she was doing something today. She sighed, getting up. Then she frowned, and went for a brisk run around the waterfalls, the supplies she has still slung around her arm. She was getting lazy, and therefore losing her will to live. She recalled the mantra she chanted on the first day at the Cornucopia, and before in her apartment. She swore on her life that she will never lose her will to live. Getting lazy was losing her will. She will never, ever in the world, lose her will to live. Arden's repeated promise sparked her energy, making her adrenaline rush and her mood lift almost immediately. Her legs were getting tired from the brisk run, but she wasn't going to stop. Stopping will be losing her will to run, and it is quite established that Arden wouldn't lose any will here.
Soon later, Arden stumbled upon a stream hidden in the woods. She headed in immediately, thankful that she had brought along her water bottles. Then and there, on the spot, she drained the last bottle of water and filled all of her water bottles up to the top. With brimming bottles, she stayed at the stream. Arden laid on her back with her weapons and other lifelines on her side. The air was cool against the burning feeling in her lungs. After about ten minutes, when Arden finally sat up, she found worms crawling next to her. Normally, Arden would be gagging, but not in the Arena. This was food, and she wasn't going to throw it away. With newly re-energized spirits, she happily picked up the worms and plopped herself down next to the stream. Quickly calling out fish and grabbing them, Arden has gained a dinner worth two fish sitting right in front of her. Not even bothering to cook it, Arden ate happily. She was confused on why she was still smiling, but then she remembered: there are only 8 tributes in the arena. Meaning she could kill a few, snatch up an ally and then... An ally. Arden remembered why her spirits were dampened in the first place. The Careers were dead. She sighed, thinking 'nope. I cannot lose my will to live' in her head, over and over. Her allies didn't have to be a Career right? She had to win with another, why not make that her ally?
She thought to the people without district partners. Too bad D3 had another. She would've loved to snatch up either of them. Arden remembered her bump in with them. They didn't cower. The girl accepted the challenge, and the boy spoke up against her. Even though she didn't get what she wanted, Arden liked them both. They had something fearless about them. And D5, they had two of them. She never talked to them, but they... They had lasted so long, so they had to be something, right? And then there was Arden. Stupid thing to ally with one self, right? And then there was the puny girl from D12, which was off-limits. She was still angry at the girl for killing Khal. When it comes to killing off district partners, Arden can hold a grudge. And D11... he was a possibility. Arden knew he was hiding in a cave, but so was D12. They probably allied up. Eww. Nope, not him. Only D8 left. Arden thought back to her. She remembered very little about her, just a memory tucked in there from tribute parades and interviews and training. She wasn't too, too bad. She was tiny and frail, though. Would she put up a fight? Then again, she has lasted so long...
Arden shoved the thought aside. It was getting late, and Arden has had enough for one day. She headed back toward her camp. Nothing had been touched, only boosting her idea of the D12 and 11 alliance. She set down her new finds next to the make-shift pillow she had made from a moss-covered, leafy rock. It wasn't too nice, but it wasn't bad either.
And here was when Arden decided to would go confront the D8 girl tomorrow, given she hasn't died already and Arden actually manages to find her. If the girl turns Arden down... Well, Arden has a bow and a scythe and knows how to use both of them. Easy picking, right there.

I woke up at my usual early time on what was the 9th day of the Hunger Games. I played with the vine I found yesterday and tied a snare; a snare that I ended up setting up 5 feet outside of the entrance of my cave.
Ginger, the girl from Distract 12, was nowhere to be seen. I wasn't sure what her whole opinion on me was... I decided that a morning walk outside would be a great way to start the day though, keeping totally aware that any number of tributes could be outside the entrance. I climbed up a tree and started hopping tree-to-tree, ensuring that I had an escape for any situation.
I found myself gazing into the lake-like gathering at the bottom of the fall. The light blue water glistened diamonds from the sunshine. The cliff-side reflected in the ripples of the water; trees, ledges, caves, and... a tribute! The tribute was certainly not that of the District 12 girl, I knew that for a fact. She was navigating the ledges with a bow and quiver on her back, along with a scythe. She was an absolute threat out here weapon-wise. I may have all the food and water a person would ever need to survive, but I must admit, my weapon inventory was quite weak. Only a hunting knife and boning knife made up my arsenal of weapons.
My luck was great in the wildlife living aspect, but fighting-wise, I just couldn't come across a valuable weapon... I directed my attention back to the path back to my cave, that of which I followed in a slow gallop-type pace. I dropped down maybe halfway, only to find more ingredients for another Bee Sting Salve. Trust me, if this was a game of seeing who could survive in the outdoors the longest, I'd win hands down. Let's just hope it comes down to that...

Location: Waterfall
Day: 9
After finding the Bee Sting Salve, I starting walking back to my hideout on the ground rather than my usual path in the trees. I never thought I'd be able to go through these games like this. It was more of a test of nature survival than the war I expected... Although I had already killed one tribute, that was a one-sided battle. I wasn't even touched, just a clean slice to the throat. Regardless, I knew that I was going to have to fight soon. Or maybe not considering 2 can make it out alive...
I saw the entrance of my cave, but decided to go a slower pace, afraid that the bow-wielding tribute could be watching... I crept behind each thick tree trunk until.... 3 opossum-like rodents came out growling, attempting to make me their meal. I kicked one rodent into the tree, killing it on impact. I jumped up a branch, giving myself enough time to grab my hunting knife out of my pocket. I dropped down, stabbing another straight into the ground. Pulling my knife out, the third charged and leaped at me. I rolled out of the way and turned my head, trying to connect eyes with the demon. The thing came for another charge, missing once again as I rolled out of the way. I didn't give the rodent a third chance though, connecting on a thrown hunting knife to the side of the thing. He dropped dead, thrashed a few feet from the force of the throw.
I was surprised that I went untouched. The things were very agile, and I, honestly, am not the best fighter.... At least that's what I thought. This battle kind of gave me a mental boost. That throw of a hunting knife was impressive... I'd find it to be impressive even to the gamemakers. I hope that Panem was watching that one. It was a beauty.
I slid my knife out of the rodent and collected all 3 of them for roasting back in the cave. I returned to the cave only to find another, larger sized rodent in my set snare. I lit up some branches and dried grass with my lighter and roasted all 3 of the small rodents and the larger rodent with a large stick.
There was still plenty of daylight, just enough time for me to go fishing with my fishing net. I hid behind the waterfall, threw some bait in the net, and lowered the fishing net into the water. Just as always, four fish jumped into the net. I drank 2 servings of water out of one of the canteens, finishing up that one... That of which I refilled. I returned back to the cave, fed the fire, and roasted the 4 fish as well. I dropped a water purification tablets in the canteen, refilling my overall water inventory.
I ate a fish and a serving of fresh meat upon the roasting of the animals.
I know I have this alliance going, but maybe I should get out of here soon... I don't feel very safe here honestly...

Bad Berry Attack | Unfortunately you decide that you must eat some berries, but as they're entering your mouth, you realize that you had mistaken them for different berries. You manage to spit most of them out, but a couple slide down your throat.
