The 39th Annual Hunger Games
Chapter 1- Let The Games Begin!
Emily- District 8
I stood on my platform anxiously as the announcer for the games, Paul Rugsby started his usual blabbing about the games. Once he had announced it was time for the games to begin, I tensed up and prepared myself to run for the backpack straight ahead of me. This stadium was very strange, because it was the only indoor stadium in history. The other tributes and I seemed to be standing in a huge ballroom of whatever kind of indoor stadium we're in. I knew it was almost time to run. When the gong went off, that's exactly what I did.
Jack- District 5
As soon as the gong sounds, I immediately flee from the Cornucopia. I don't want to be involved in the bloodbath. It's very strange being in an indoor stadium, and I'm being thrown for a loop. I spent nearly all of my time in training studying berries, snares, traps, and tons of other outdoor survival skills. Luck is already not on my side. Since there is so much time left in the games, who knows how bad this is going to get for me?
Once I reach the door I'm running at, I quickly pull it open and then slam it shut right behind me. As soon as I hear it close, I look back to see if I'm being followed. There's nobody in the hallway other than me, but there is a spear's head sticking through the door. I know it was meant for me. I keep running for what seems like decades until I reach a flight of stairs and an elevator. If I keep running, I'm going to pass out, so I jump in the elevator and hit the "3" button. That's when I realize there are over 100 buttons and know immediately that this is the biggest stadium of all time. "These games might take a while." I think to myself before I step out of the elevator.
Trenton- District 3
I may not be a career, but that doesn't mean I didn't train like one. All my life, I have been preparing for this moment. I hear the gong sound and instantly run straight for the Cornucopia. I'm the first one there, thanks to my 14 years of track. I'm 17, and that's plenty of time to get to know everything about survival.
I instantly grab some arrows, and just start throwing them at people. I have enough brute force and accuracy to send 6 of them through other tribute's skulls. "That means there's only 18 more to go." I think to myself. This is going to be a cakewalk. I then grab a 3 whips, because whips are my best weapons, and grab my favorite one, which has solid gold on the tip. This will give the whip more of a sting to victims. Then I knock 4 tributes over and head to a door that has a spear stuck in it.
Once I'm in the hallway, I run until I come to some stairs and an elevator that has just closed. I know I'm right behind a victim, and so I sprint up the stairs without stopping for even a second to breathe, and pause on floor 3 because I hear a high pitched ding. I see someone emerge, and it's the boy from District 5.
Alison- District 6
I know I should run from the Cornucopia, but when the gong sounds I rush right into the middle of the bloodbath. I see the monstrous boy from 3 killing people left and right, and know I have to run. I grab a strange gun I've never seen before that's at my feet and back up, taking aim at the girl from 8. I shoot, and see a light green beam come out of the gun. I then turn around and run before I have time to see if the beam makes impact.
As I run, I feel something puncture my right foot. Along with the pain I feel from the knife I see in my foot, I also topple over and smack my face on the hard marble ground. Every part of my body is in pain, but I muster the strength to get up. I try to limp over towards-
Anne- District 2
I put the girl from 6 out of her misery and retrieve the knife I threw at her. I'm pretty good with knives, but I am even better with a slingshot. I grab some of the nightlock I found at the Cornucopia and load it into the best slingshot I could find. As I see the males from 7 and 8 running away together, I take my aim and land berries in 8's mouth. 7 turns around and screams at me, which was the dumbest thing he could have done because soon he has the berries in his mouth as well.
All in all, I've counted 11 deaths so far. 3 by me, 6 by that monster from 3, and 2 by the other careers. There is only 1 non-career left at the Cornucopia, and it's the boy from 12. He tries to run, but is hit by 2 spears and an arrow. I find it hilarious how 3 other careers tried to kill him at the same time. All they want to do is show off. In my opinion, teaming up with them is a waste of my life. I'll finish them off in good time though, I just need to wait for the right moment.
Josh- District 10
As soon as I grabbed a backpack, I went into 1 of the dozens of doors, and jogged until I couldn't go any longer. I knew this was a good time to go through my backpack. I opened it up, and inside found only 1 thing. It looked just like a laser pointer. I pointed it away from me and pressed the button. I was shocked at the result.
A laser shot right out of the end! No, not a laser light. An actual laser! It made a hole in the wall right in front of me! I hear someone scream from the other side. I instantly run, but not very far before I realize I can't go any further because being honest, I'm still exhausted. I know I have to do something soon, so I grab the laser and point it in the direction I came from.
After nothing happens for a while, I hear people running above me. I point the laser at an angle, and make a hole in the ceiling. A couple feet in front of me, the boy from 3 falls from the sky. He instantly jumps up and has a whip at the ready. As he leaps at me, I point my laser and press the button.
