Bleeding Hearts

**Kala** is a District 7 tribute in the 125th Hunger Games, as portrayed in Hunger Games: Bleeding Hearts. She is mostly known for her very close friendship with her District partner Jordan, and she narrated one chapter in the story (Chapter 27).

### Pre-Games

By the first time Kala is seen, she has already joined an alliance with her District partner, Jordan, along with Greta and Maisy from District 9 and Rose from District 8. Soren observes the group as Kala teaches Greta how to throw an ax. This indicates that both Kala and Jordan are skilled with axes, and they hope to improve the skills of their allies as well.

When the Training Scores are released, Kala scores a 7, which marks her as "notable competition" according to Lacie. Kala's score puts her on-par with Career Tributes Orion and Murray, Jordan, Greta, and Casey.

During Kala's Interview, Angelica says that Kala discusses her passion for bookmaking with Ross Carmichael, and she jokes that she would write a book about her experiences if she won the Games. It is implied that Kala's interview went over well with the audience. Angelica says that Kala "looks quite nice", and wishes that she could be her ally in the Arena.

### The Games

#### The Bloodbath

Kala is one of the few tributes who completely avoid The Bloodbath. While her and Maisy hide nearby, her allies grab supplies for her to reduce the chances of anyone being killed. However, it is known that she entered the Arena on a pedestal next to Rex and Zea.

Kala is not seen again until Day 3, when the first official Arena Event occurs as Hydra Vines fill a quarter of the Arena. Kala and her allies are trapped in the quarter of the Arena and are chased closely by the vines. Kala manages to escape the vines, but Jordan trips and is swallowed by the mass of vines following the tributes.

After escaping from the Hydra Vines, Kala camps on the Cornucopia island with Maisy, Greta, and Rose. Greta notes that the group slept through the whole night due to their exhaustion following the Hydra Vine incident. The group hopes to find supplies at the Cornucopia, as they lost some of their supplies to the vines, but there is nothing left on the island for them to salvage. Greta spots Kala's District partner Rowan in the trees, but he doesn't attack the group; this may have been because of Kala's presence on the island.

On Day 5, Kala and her allies are forced to flee the Cornucopia island after they are attacked by Ada. While Ada almost kills Maisy, the girls all manage to escape unharmed.

On Day 6, the girls camp in a new part of the Arena. However, they smell smoke and are forced to run when they are caught in Glutton Flames. Due to the speed of the flames, the girls are forced to flee with only one backpack. In the end, the girls all escape with minimal burns, but they have almost no food.

The girls are forced to attack Orion and Murray for their supplies. Kala helps tackle Murray to the ground while Greta stabs him to death; Orion manages to flee by the mercy of Rose. To their frustration, Murray's bag has only a small amount of food in it.

#### Night 8

Kala and her allies slowly go insane without any food or water. As the tributes attempt to distribute Murray's supplies evenly, Greta argues at every turn, causing Kala to erupt at her and berate her for her behavior. In the end, Rose decides to keep the supplies in the backpack so that nobody fights over them. That night, Greta finally enters a state of insanity, grabbing Murray's knife and stabbing Kala to death in her sleep. Kala was the 20th tribute to die, meaning that she placed 16th. She was the last District 7 tribute to die in the 125th Hunger Games.

### Post-Death

Later in the Games, Greta sees Kala in a fit of hallucinations. However, she seems to have lost her memories due to her insanity; she explains that "something about the sight of Kala makes me shudder, but I can't figure out what it is."
