It's a pretty short chapter this week (compared to the others), but next week we'll make it longer 
Ray's point of view
"Ladies and gentlemen, let the 64th Hunger Games begin!"
Ray took off like lightning, sprinting towards the cornucopia. By the time he reached the backpack he was going for, almost all of the faster tributes had already reached the cornucopia. He snatched the backpack up before anyone could take it from him. It was a good thing he hadn't gone for the supplies inside the cornucopia. If he had, he would already be dead. Just like the lifeless bodies lying on the ground. No one could help them now.
The cleverer tributes had already taken a bag and gone, except for the careers, or course. They always stayed to make sure all the weak tributes were eliminated before claiming nearly all of the supplies. The positive side of running away earlier, is that you don't have to witness the horror, known as the bloodbath.
All of the careers, including Elina, had grabbed their favourite weapons and were killing any tributes who came near their supplies.
Blood was everywhere. Cannon shots were sounding as frequently as Jc and Lauren argued with each other. Dead bodies were scattered everywhere.
Move, Ray told himself, before you end up like them.
Ray scanned his surroundings, tall trees stood about fifty metres from the cornucopia, surrounding the area.
Lauren, he silently called, where are you?
There. She was standing next to an area that looked like it contained the most trees. By the time he reached her, his heart was racing, he gasped for air.
"Jeez, you better get used to running. Otherwise you're dead." Lauren stood further in the woods, out of sight from the careers. "Now hurry up, before they see you."
Ray dragged himself over to Lauren and leant against a tree for support.
He looked back at the cornucopia, only the careers were left, they were dividing the supplies between them.
"Where's-" Ray started.
Lauren held up her hand for silence and stepped behind a tree trunk. Elina was looking their way.
"I don't know where Jc is, he should be here by now," she whispered curtly.
Ray held his breath. What if Jc didn't make it? Would Lauren still want him on her team? Would she even let him get away? Or would she just kill him and not think twice about it? Or what if-
Ray's train of thoughts was interrupted by Jc's cry for help, he was coming closer towards them. Lauren took immediate action, she stepped out from behind the tree and brought out one of her knives, throwing it with insane accuracy. The sound of a cannon told them the knife had found its target.
Jc dove into the trees with them, and collapsed in exhaustion.
"What were you doing Jc?!" Lauren raged. Now you see how frequent the cannon shots had sounded.
"I saw my chance to grab a huge backpack, and I took it!" Jc argued in between breaths.
"What did I tell you about taking chances?" Lauren sighed in exasperation.
Jc opened his mouth to argue back.
"Forget it! You two just follow me before they find us."
~ A few hours later ~
After trekking further into the woods, they set up camp for the night in a large, sturdy tree. There were three wide branches, one for each of them. The sun was drifting lower and lower behind the trees.
Jc opened his backpack to look inside.
"If you want to see why my backpack was worth getting, look at this."
Jc took out a short, silver sword.
Lauren rolled her eyes. "It's no use if you don't know how to use it."
Even in the dim light, Ray could see Jc's face turning a deep shade of red. Jc took out a roll of bandages and some knives, and smiled in triumph.
Lauren's eyes widened, "I'll take those." She grabbed the knives out of his hand.
Ray tilted his head. "Is that it? My backpack is a lot smaller and I have nearly as many things." He emptied the contents of his backpack onto the thick tree trunk. There was an empty water bottle, a knife and some paper.
"Paper?" Jc laughed. "What use is that?"
"For making a fire, idiot," Lauren retorted.
Jc's face turned an even deeper shade of red. "Yeah, well, I've got this." He thrust his hand inside his backpack and brought out a box of cereal.
Ray's eyes were the size of saucers, his mouth fell open. "I had that in the Capitol! It's so delicious."
He made an attempt to grab the box, but Jc kept a tight grip on it. Ray yanked the box as hard as he could. To his dismay, the box tumbled onto the ground below, bringing Jc with it.
Lauren looked as if she was contemplating how she ended up with such useless teammates. She shook her head, then took a rolled-up sleeping bag and some rope from her backpack, and tied the sleeping bag to her branch. She took one last look at Jc failing miserably to climb the tree, then sighed and snuggled up inside her bag.
Ray helped Jc back up. They both sat shivering, and stared wistfully at Lauren's sleeping bag, with only a half-empty box of cereal to eat.
