Okkkay, so I know I said that I would do the reaping, well I'm not because it has taken so long to do the reaping, and all the other tribute stuff, so I will give a description of the arena bellow and then, LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
The Arena is a big rectangle, in the very center is the cornucopia on an island (Not unlike in catching fire) surrounded in a circle of water, the tributes platforms will be on the outside of the water, so unless you can swim you have no shot of getting to the cornucopia. On the top left side of the arena there is a desert as far as you can see, but this is the best way to go, it you walk about 3 miles you will find a huge lake of fresh water, surrounding it is many edible plants, the game makers will not target the desert until the end. To the top right is a forest, it is filled with beautiful plants and trees, but when burnt the trees gives off a deadly gas that if inhaled the person will remain in a coma like state unless they can get the medicine needed within 24 hours. There are many animals in the forest, but if shot at, all the other animals near it will attack the person and will not stop until either they, or the person is dead. All food and plants in the forest are poisons, but they look like normal so being able to identify plants will not be able to help, the only clue to them being bad is they are a pale green color on the inside, so if they check that they will be fine. There is water in the forest, but it is filled with radiation, if you see the dead fish in it you will see that. The wood is very strong from the trees and good for weapons as long it's not burnt. On the bottom left area there is an ocean of salt water. If you make a boat and sail for about 10 miles you will reach an island that is filled with wood, and weapons, and other things necessary. The wood here is the only safe for burning wood. When the first people reach the island they have 24 hours on the island before all of the plants die, and the water drains out of the ocean, the island is now a 30' in diameter, 100' high cliff. Anyone on the island will die. On the bottom right of the arena is grassland with tall grass. This is very simply filled with poisonous animals, there is no food source, and nothing will happen if you go for some time, you will probably just die.
The clothing the tributes will be sent in with are, Long green pants, Tall black books, a navy blue top, and a dark green jacket, they will also have a cloth in their pants pocket that if tied around their mouth it will protect from the poisons wood's fumes. The Jacket floats as long as it does not get hotter than 100 degrees, it will stop working after that.
HERE WE GO‼
-Cinnamon Rain-
My instructions from my mentor were clear. Abandon Fabian, join the careers, because it's not often someone from district 12 joins them. Fabian still thinks that I will help him and win, but that will not happen. I must kill him if I get the chance. I can't stop. I looked at the arena, simple, desert, water, forest, tall grass. That stuff doesn't matter though, I'll probably be here near the cornucopia with the careers.
The gong sounds. I jump into the icy water and swim for the cornucopia, I get a mouthful of water, its fresh. Hopefully not poison.
I reach the cornucopia first. I grab my weapon off the top of the pile, a bow and about 30 arrows. This should be easy.
The next person to reach the shore is a girl I recognize as Ariadne, she's the one with Asperger's, wow she can swim fast. Close behind her is her sister Adicia. She is frantically yelling for her sister to come back. Poor girl, I shoot Ariadne through the heart. Simple as that.
Next to reach is Emily and Kenzie, other careers. They join me and choose their weapons. Sid and Sylvester quickly reach the shore and join all of us at the cornucopia. Harmony reaches the shore followed by Spark. Spark is looking really troubled as she reaches the shore, grabs a knife, walks over to us, looks at Sylvester, and stabs Sylvester in the heart.
I did not see that coming.
Sid is screaming and tackles Spark. Sid grabs the knife out of her hand and, out of pure rage, stabs her in the heart.
My bow is immediately loaded and pointed at Sid. Emily puts her hand on it
"Run! If we see you again we will not hesitate to kill you." She yells. Sid runs as fast as she can towards the forest area, I see her with Adicia just shortly before they run to the woods together. It should be a lot easier to kill people when they are together in groups.
Next I see Lucy, she is struggling to stay up in the water. She obviously can't swim.
"Lucy!" Alice, her twin, yells from behind her. Before Alice can get out of the water, I shoot her. Lucy screams. She immediately turns around and swims as fast as she can away from there. I shoot an arrow at her back, but it's not deadly. Most likely though some animal will smell blood and kill her anyway.
Posy Elfin is the next "brave" tribute to try to take power away from the careers.
"Let me get this one" Harmony mutters, still recovering from the shock of losing her sister. She charges at Posy, sword in hand. She kills her in one blow.
Finally my brother reaches the shore; he never had practice swimming like I did.
"Stay here," Emily whispers "I kill him, you don't have too"
She pulls back her bow prepared to kill…
-Fabian Rain-
I reach the shore where the cornucopia is, I see Cinnamon with the careers. So that's what she was hiding. She was secretive lately. I look towards the cornucopia, I see a girl I recognize as Emily Zerich. She has her bow pulled back, aimed at me. I don't have time to react. The arrow is flying at my heart, I'm going to die.
"DUCK" a boy yells, I can't remember his name. Jeff maybe. I do remember his sister though. She was pretty.
Jet, yeah that's his name, pulls me down away from the arrow.
"Take care of my sister" Jet yells as he runs off towards the desert area of the arena.
What's that supposed to mean, but now I see her. Laren is her name. She runs towards the food pile that the careers are guarding.
Emily pulls back her bow again, not aiming at me, but at Laren.
A small "no" escapes my lips. I grab a knife from the pile and run straight at Emily, but it was too late, her fingers let go of the string. Laren falls to the ground. The arrow in her shoulder. Not deadly, it just makes her an easy target.
I tackle Emily and stab her in the heart. The other careers are in too much shock to do anything, except for my sister. I just totally ignore them though. I run towards Laren. I pick her up and swim away. I run towards the forest.
"FABIAN, I LOVE YOU NEW GIRLFRIEND. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I FIND YOU, I'LL TORTURE THE TWO OF YOU. ISN'T THAT WHAT LIFES ABOUT?" My sister yells behind me. But I pay no attention. What I need to worry about now is the slowly dying girl in my arms, and the fact that I might love her.
Sorry it took so long. But I hope you love it. I do apologize for any deaths.
