Her eyes adjust from being in the darkness, and she immediately observes her surroundings and it is unlike any arena she's ever seen. They are on a huge island with thousands of plants and lakes surrounding them. The island is so huge, nobody can see the huge ocean that precedes, but they know it's there.

Her chest tightens right when the gong rings and her whole world begins to shatter. She leaps forward, grabbing the backpack at the same time at the district 5 girl. She begins tugging with all her might, but Raven is stronger from practicing at home and in the Capitol, and slips it out of her hands. She should be getting away now. She can't stay. Already, there are two dead bodies in her field of view, and she refuses to be the next one. Just as her feet begin taking her in one direction, her face meets the hot sand.
Her boot meets a knee, and from the tone of the yelp, she can tell it's a girl. She rolls around so her face is out of the sand only to be met with the girl's bodyweight on top of hers.

She groans in pain, realizing the vulnerable position she's in when Raven's backpack hits her head hard, knocking the knife out of her hand. Raven quickly grabs it and hesitates for a moment, before remembering she's on a show.
