Day 2: After the Bloodbath Jun 16, 2010 19:37:34 GMT -5

I pull myself up on the island, I'm soaking wet and I have several wounds that I know I'll have to care for. I never did get a weapon but I did get a raft which will be vital for travel. This was the only item I left the bloodbath with. I'm low on resources and I'll have to find water and food soon. I can go longer without food so I decide to make mater my second priority, my first priority will be to tend to my wounds. I know some plants that will help to heal my wound faster. I'd need to search hard because this island just seems to be a rocky beach. I do know of one plant that sometimes grows under rocks that helps to speed up the healing. I've recieved a shallow cut on my back and 2 shallow cuts on my cheek. I see a bit of moss on one of the rocks and wipe away the blood from my face. my back is still bleeding a bit, so I wrap it in the moss and continue my search. While I'm looking I also search for any signs of water. I only wish I had something to purify it with if I can find any, I do however know how to make a fire, maybe I won't need to purify it. It takes me hours and I know I've probably pushed myself a bit too far, but I finally find the plant I've been looking for, it's such a small amount though, it will barely be enough to help my cheek. I quickly crumble it in my hand and wet it with some sea water. I apply it to my face and secure it there with more moss. I've been traveling down hill but in the distance I see a cave and I don't dare go near it. I saw another pack of tributes head here while i was at the bloodbath. I keep going for another few minutes, looking for water, that I don't find. Maybe I should sprint up the hill a bit to find water, although I doubt there's a large source. And I 'm right. As I'm running i almost miss a small puddle of water, it may not be much but it may be the only source on this island. I only wish i had something to carry it in. Maybe I could weave leaves together, or carve a rock? I start looking for rocks with a small hole or even a rock with a sharp point. I do find one with a sort of sharp point and get to work on a slightly small rock. Even though I'm hitting it with all my strength, it only makes a small dent. I can't give up so I keep pounding away, I might have more luck with tying plants up. I have had to tye things so that blood wouldn't seep through, maybe I could do the same for water, I get to work gathering up every kind of plant I can, but first checking to make sure they aren't poisunus. Most are just leaves, and other harmless and useless plants. I see the sun begin to sink in the sky and know if I don't hurry I may not have water tonight. It's almost nightfall when I finish, it may be risky to start a fire here. I don't want to take a chance so I fill up my container which actually works pretty well, surprisingly, I guess medicene and first aid are helpful. I quickly run, while being careful not to spill, back to the part of the beach where I first entered. I doubt that the other tributes are around me but I do a quick survey of the area before I begin, and it takes quite a while but I'm able to get a small fire going, that's when I realize, how can I cook the water? The leaves will burn and the water will be gone. I sit back on my feet, I have to think of something fast. ROCKS! I can heat rocks in the fire then put the leaves on that. I begin one by one and slowly I'm able to get the water boiling. When I feel it's safe to drink, I take a shaky sip, then another and then 3 more. I'll leave the little bit that's left for tomorrow. I use the ocean to extinguish the fire and destroy all the remains of it. Then I quickly get away and decide to rest here. Of course I'm not going to rest though. I can't, I'll need to doit tomorrow when I'm on a different island, or maybe I could just grab a rock and sleep a bit with the rock in my hand? I'm a pretty light sleeper, and I'll sleep behind a rock. I settle myself in a pretty comfortable manner just before the anthem begins. I lean back, and ready myself to watch todays dead tributes appear in the sky, if there are any....

Goodbye Autumn

Unfortunately, you drank water that was tainted and used poisonous plants on your open wounds, allowing their toxins to enter your bloodstream. You realize this too late, and there is nothing you can do to prevent your inevitable death. (You have died. You may make your death post now if you wish.)

I wait silently for the anthem to begin playing, when I suddenly feel a small burning sensation in my cheek. I unwrap the moss and feel my cheek. The wound appears to be almost bigger. I check the plant and find it to be a different kind of plant then what I has first thought. How could I have been that stupid? I know it's useless to try to stop my death now. The poison has already entered my bloodstream and is slowly killing me. I should've checked again, but it looked so much like the other plant, only one thing was different and it was that there was small change in the shape of the leaf. You would barely notice though. I think of my aunt and my speacial someone back home. Will he grieve for me? I know for sure my aunt will. I will miss her greatly and I will her to be strong. It will be difficult for her but she must get through it. I wish I had never been slected as a tribute. I knew I was proabaly going to die I just didn't expect it to be so soon. I think of my parents and how I'll be joining them soon. I have no memories of my mother but I do have one of my father. I was young about 3 and it was of me and my father sitting in the grass of our backyard. The sun was beginning to set behind the hills and the fireflies were coming out. My father was drawing one on flower for me. I remeber trying to draw it at first but I had given up and just watched my father. His pencil going evenly across the page.[/i] This was the only memory I cherish. I can feel my eyelids beginning to droop and I know I'm going to die any minute. I try to fight it as long as I can. I see a firefly land on a rock about a foot from me, and that's the last thing I see before I use my last breath to whisper my final goodbye and I close my eyes on the world forever.

Goodbye Autumn
