I stayed on my platform a while longer, knowing that the careers were probably focused on the ones trying to one away-the ones in motion more. I assessed the situation, still on edge, but I could always dodge if it came to that. Slowly and silently, I stepped off the platform, remaining calm, and began sneak around, dodging any attacks, getting grazed above the eyebrow by a stray knife, and my arm nearly shredded off by a barrage of arrows. Despite this pain, I picked up the largest backpack I could find, a set of kunai knives, shuriken, and some bows and arrows. Then, fast as lightning, I leapt away.
OUCH! something had struck me, missing my heart by merely an inch.
Pelting away, bathed in my own blood, I raced toward the cherry blossoms, which reminded me of home. I ran as far away from them as I could, leaping through the trees, having my weapons at the ready for anyone who decided to follow me. I finally decided to stop in a tree and began rummaging through my rucksack, and pulled out a coat, some rope, another pair of clothes, a sleeping bag, a breathing mask, a mask and some dried fruit.
I counted my shuriken and found there were about fifty. I counted my kunai knives and found there were about fifteen. This should be enough to keep me alive...for now, but I had no idea what lay ahead of me....
I pondered making an alliance with somebody, and if so, who should I ally with? Someone not so strong that they could easily break me in half, but not someone so weak that they would just be a dead weight...My own District 11 Male Counterpart would be a good option, but I seriously had no idea where he was. I spotted someone coming by this way to the mountains earlier, maybe they would be a good partner. I decided that if I came across them I would ask to ally them, but I doubted that they would actually say yes, judging them from earlier. It really wouldn't hurt to ask, though....
Whatever, if I come across them, I'll ask, if I don't it doesn't even matter. I'll ask whoever survives long enough to reach the mountains. If they happen to be too strong, or seem to want to betray me, I'll just kill them in their sleep or something....scratch that.
Joining the Career Pack seemed like a bad idea, considering how powerful those guys were, but I guess I could just ditch them after it was down only to the strong ones...but who says I would even make it that far? I was only from the lowly District 11, anyways. They would never accept me. No matter, I'll just continue as is and see what happens... I begin to leap through the forest again.
