The Forest
((Like 10 people I think.))
Petra followed Starla, her bow drawn and fitted with an arrow. "We should be very careful, the Gamemakers are already trying to split us up, so there's quite a chance that the food and water will be poisoned."

((XD))
Starla nodded at what Petra had said.
Starla nodded at what Petra had said.
Petra picked her way through the trees, following Starla closely.
Starla spotted a small rabbit hopping slowly among dense ferns. Starla silently pointed.
Starla glanced at her two swords and cursed to herself. She couldn't hunt with swords... what was she thinking?
((oh... I forgot you gave me a scythe and not a sword L_L))
She gripped her scythe and took a deep breath.

Petra aimed her bow at the rabbit, sending Starla a questioning look. She wasn't sure if she should shoot, but figured that the arrow would be quicker than Starla's scythe.
She nodded at Petra. They needed food, and the arrow was their best shot.
((BAD DUM.... tshhhh))
((BAD DUM.... tshhhh))
((Haha))
Petra squinted, pulling the arrow back. She released it, and it hit the rabbit in the throat. Not her best shot, but the creature was dead.

Starla bolted up and sprinted to the rabbit. She picked it up by the feet. Blood trickled down the arrow. She shuddered as she yanked it out. "Dinner?"
Petra took the arrow back, wiping it on some grass, and returning it to her quiver. "Absolutely! Hopefully the others will have their shelter up by now."
She nodded as she carried it to their camp. She looked around to make sure there were no other competitors. "Let's go."
Petra hurried after Starla, towards their camp.
Starla arrived. She flopped the rabbit on a flat stone. "Dinner..." She wiped her bloody hands on her suit.
"How's the shelter going?" Petra nodded to the others. She settled down on the dirt, pulling her short, dark hair from her sweaty face.
Starla sat down too, massaging her knees.
Eliane had been collecting wood in the mean time. She hadn't found any sticky stuff. "Pretty good I suppose."
Petra rummaged through her small backpack, shaking her head. "Unfortunately, no." She replied.
"Um... I have rabbit blood." She pointed at the dead rabbit.
Starla sighed. "Right right..."
Starla shrugged and played with a curl of her hair.
Petra almost laughed, despite the dangerously serious position they were in. "I'd look for vines, but it's not the right terrain. We could try long grass." She fingered the thin material of her jumper. "I'd figure that there's got to be water nearby, too."
Starla nodded. "Bound to be."
Silver snapped her fingers. "That's it! Long grass and vines. I thought I was missing something." Silver looked around.((I had to ask my mom what to do. XD))
((Nice))
Starla smiled. "Yeah... sooo. Who's going to go get it?"
Starla smiled. "Yeah... sooo. Who's going to go get it?"
Petra shrugged. "I could, I suppose."
Starla didnt notice. "Ok cool. Ill just skin this rabbit.
Petra didn't notice the tracker jacker either, as she turned towards the Forrest, her bow at the ready. "I'll be back in a bit." She said softly, slinging her backpack over her shoulder.
Silver looked up at Petra and Starla. "Uh.. guys? Look at your shoulders." Silver slowly stood up.((what are in the bags? And what are tracker jackers?))
Starla slowly turned. She stiffened. "G-guys...."
((Basically really bad wasps on steroids))
((They are wasp creatures. They used to be able to track Rebels. When they sting, you hallucinate and your skin sorta melts off. Yay! Anyway, like 2 stings will kill you.))
Very slowly, Petra moved met head, spying the tracker jacker on her shoulder. She fumbled an arrow from her quiver, trying not to move. There was probably a nest nearby, so they might have to change the location of their camp! Holding the arrow in faintly trembling hands, she drove in through the large body of the TJ, and into her shoulder a bit. She winced in pain as she pulled it out, throwing the dead TJ to the ground.
"Dang. I didn't mean for that to pierce me! It's not deep, though." She pressed her hand against the wound to stifle the blood flow.

Starla nodded. She pulled out her sword and headed out of the field and into the dense trees.
