This was it. She knew her time in the Games were up. Her canon was going to go off and her picture would be shown tonight in the sky during the nightly update.

Korra was running for her life through the thick woods. Her mocha colored skin was beginning to mix with shades of red as she ran past outstretched branches. She could hear her pursuers come closer to her. Their hateful screams were beginning to come closer to her ears. Cursing at the thickness of the woods, Korra tried her best to run faster than she ever had. She had to survive, she just had to.

I'm not ready to die!

After running another fifty yards, Korra felt a strong hand grab onto her arm and quickly pull her behind some thick bushes. Before she can even get a word in, Korra's face is shoved into what she realized to be her savor's chest. Their heart beat was beating fast than her's and their hands that were resting on her head and back were trembling. Korra took in a deep breath and was presented with a familiar smell.

Coal mines.

The smell somehow triggered those words into Korra's head. There was only one person in the Games that she knew who would have that special smell.  She snapped her head up and saw Mako's stern looking face keeping a watch out for the approaching Careers.

"Mako?" Korra muttered – disbelieving that he could be possibly saving her when he should be her enemy as well.
Mako turned his head toward her – his golden eyes wide open. He moved his strong and dirty hand over Korra's mouth. "Shut it," he snapped in a hushed tone. "Do you want the Careers to find us?!"

After Mako's harsh question, the footsteps of the Careers stopped right behind their hiding spot.

"Where did she go?" One of the male Careers angrily asked. There was a bit a rustling of grass and leaves for a short moment.
"She couldn't have gone far." A female Career responded.

Korra could hear Mako's heartbeat beat faster as one of the Career's footsteps came closer toward them. The footsteps then stopped right behind them. Instantly, Mako began to think of escape and attack plans to play out when he and Korra were found.

The leaves and grass near the two tributes' began to rustle again. "Maybe she went in this direction, back to the Cornucopia." A different female Career suggested.
"The idiot," the same male Career said with a laugh. "If she had a brain, she would realize that we took all the weapons."
"Come on, let's just go and kill her off. The less people to chase the sooner we can finish this." A different male Career said before running off in the direction Korra was running in.
As the footsteps slowly began to shirk in sound, Mako began to loosen his grip on Korra. After a few moments of nothing but the chirps of the Mocking Jays, Mako released his grip on Korra and turned around to look through the bush. After being freed, Korra instantly stood up and began to lightly jog in the direction that Careers came from.

"Where are you going?" Mako asked harshly as he chased after her. He grabbed her left arm and made her turn toward him.
Korra looked at him, his hand, and back him very surprisingly. Then anger filled her eyes as she pulled her arm away from him. "I'm leaving before you decide to kill me as well. You are my enemy anyway."
"Why do you think I'm your enemy? We're from the same district." Mako replied angrily.

"Just because we're from the same district, that doesn't mean we're still allies. Lin said so herself, we're partners until the countdown reached zero. Now we're enemies." Korra was confused on why Mako was asking like he was. She thought that he completely understood what was going to happen between them once the games began.
Mako annoyingly groaned and ran his fingers through his messy hair. "God, you're so stubborn. What does Bolin see in you?"

Before Korra could get a word out, she could hear someone walking toward them.




What y'all think so far? I'm stuck right now so I'm going to watch Hunger Games tonight to get more inspriation.
