Sorry for the delay on this chapter. This chapter's about how each tribute is coping after the Cornucopia bloodbath.
Each chapter, I'm having the tribute details for each day and info on anything related to deaths, alliances etc.. So scroll down to the bottom of the page for that.
CHARLOTTE AMBERWILL | DISTRICT 10: POV
I've been trudging around this forest for hours. My head hurts. There's so much on my mind. I was never able to tell Brad how I felt about him. The way he was killed was just unfair and barbaric. It should have been me who Jax killed. Jax desserved to die like that. I know it would have been painful to be whacked repeatedly with a spiked mace; but he really did desserve it...
Night has fell. I have settled into a tree and confirmed it as my home. I hope I can get home. Even though I have doubted myself and confirmed certain death; I'm having second thoughts. I'm happy about one thing. I took Brad's words and lived through the bloodbath. Would he want me to keep going and win? Of course. So I will try. For Brad.
Panem's anthem plays randomly, probably snatching everyone's attention. I get comfortable in the tree and wait for them to shine in the images of the fallen tributes. "And now, to honor the fallen," It doesn't really matter to me who else has died, but I would like to see anyway.
HELENNA RUSH | DISTRICT 13: POV
I've found a sheltered cave right next to the sea. I get the fresh feel of the ocean air gushing through the cave gently. Its the best I've felt in years.
The cannon finally sounds and the fallen tributes are graphed into the cave wall. The district 1 boy. Great! A career is dead. I'm closer to winning. The district 5 boy. I was hoping another career would be dead, but they've skipped to district 5, so they've survived another day. But this boy's so cute. I hope he died easy. Next is the district 8 boy. That would be really unfortunate for his girlfriend. But did she die too? Nope. They've skipped to the district 9 girl. The district 10 boy. Both from 11. The girl from 12. And... no... Rees. My district partner.
And it's over. I'm left alone with the elegant sound of the waves. I start to get chills and coil up more inside my blanket. Well, I guess now's a great time to look in my backpack.
Some string. Canned beans. A pouch of blueberries. An empty water bottle. A knife. And a torch! Yes. I can see now. I switch it on and, "SHIT!"
I squeal and run out of the cave dropping everything but the torch and knife. I'm too scared to go back in. There was a spider! Scarred for life!
GINGER GRIFFITHS | DISTRICT 5: POV
I am really freaked out. I'm stuck in the desert at night. I am freezing. I can't see a thing. The forest was another mirage image. I am stuck here. It's so dark. The only time I could see is when they showed the fallen tributes. And it was too bright to see anything else!
I hear footsteps. They're not human. A mutt. God help me. What do I do? Happy thoughts. Think of daddy and mommy. I hear barking. Wolves. I cover my mouth and keep quiet. They trot around eagerly, trying to find something to eat- when a gunshot scares them away.
The cannon sounds. My eyes widen. Who died? The face of the district 10 female, Charlotte Amberwill is projected into the sky. The girl who tried to commit suicide got what she wanted. Death. Now I have to stick this out 'til daylight. I struggle to get to sleep, but after a few long and hard minutes, I fall into a good slumber.
CAESAR FLICKERMAN | THE CAPITOL: POV
"Day 1 is now over and we have another accounted death. The deaths of today have been very surprising and unexpected. We've had a career die in the bloodbath! We've had lovers, families, friends torn apart.
Zac Austin's death was very notable today. He was slashed in the head by Matt after a few clumsy swipes and knew he would die from the wounds, since the sword used had indented his skull, his brain was damaged and he was dying of blood loss. He made the right choice of ending his pain, then and there. It was a very foolish move by him to let Matt attack him, however. He should've thought it through first.
Ellie Jackson has been handling herself well. She looked very fragile and weak before the games but she is showing great determination and strength over Keam's death, tonight.
It's a pity Matt Marley's plan didn't work out with Emily Jones; the new star-crossed lovers of District 12, as Emily was killed while fleeing. It was probably a stupid idea anyway.. to run from combat.
And Charlotte Amberwill.. she coped well with Brad's death. She was anxious to win, but unfortunately was caught by surprise and knived in the head by a member of the career alliance, Jarrod Limestone, the district 9, male. Many tributes are already showing their potential to win, and I hope it's your tribute that walks away with the prize of The Hunger Games!
Join us tomorrow for the review on Day 2.. and may the odds be ever in your favour!"
JOEY MARTIN | DISTRICT 6: POV
"Joey! Keep running! Don't stop! Muriel, go! GO!" I watch in terror as my mother is stabbed in the stomach by my father. Me and my sister run as fast as we can, away from the house. We hear mother screaming, and then it stops. Dad comes out. He runs straight towards me and gra-
I wake up in horror.
Dad. Did he do that? Is that why mom is dead. I was only 4. But I remember. It was something... that made me hate dad. I guess I'll never find out.
I yawn and sit up on the tree, warm from the sleeping bag I'm in. I take a look around. I'm just outside the forest, and I'm out of sight, so I'll be able to take out any passing tributes from above with my bow and arrows.
Anyway, I take a look in my backpack to see the supplies I have.
Freshly baked bread. A knife. A water skin. Rope. Night-vision glasses. A packet of matches. Poison liquid in a jar! That could be useful to use with my bow and arrows I've collected! Desert lenses? I guess I'll be expecting some sandstorms then... and finally, I find a first aid kit.
MATT MARLEY | DISTRICT 12: POV
After Emily's death, I can't get my mind off of how Sonya cackled at her pain. People in the games are sick. I lost a great friend. Someone I loved and cared for. But at least she's away from here. She doesn't have to face the pain anymore.
There's 16 of us left.. and I'm hoping it's me who can go back to my mother to nurse her back to health. I hope Isabelle is looking after her and not spending all her time with her boyfriend. I wonder how they're acting... with me on the TV in high definition. Probably awaiting the time I get my head slashed off..
ASHLIE ANDERS | DISTRICT 2: POV
I sit on a briefcase, watching Blondie lecturing the group. I think about where Jarrod could be. He killed Charlotte last night in the forest. I don't know where he is, but he's probably heading back by now.
"NO! He shouldn't have been killed! He would've been alive for minutes, being whacked with a spiked mace. You guys are idiots!" Blondie is squealing at the rest of us for Jax's death. She really cared about him.
"He would've died anyway.." Sonya gawks.
"He was too weak to join the career pack anyway.." I say, trying to stir with Blondie's mind, making her lash at me with anger.
"He wasn't! I thought you supported me no matter what, Ash!" Blondie is crying by now, her face writhing with anger.
"Baby.. He's gone. Let it go." Curtis tries to comfort her but she slaps his hand away before he can touch her.
"Okay, that's it. I've seriously had enough of this bullshit," Sonya stampedes towards Blondie with her axe when Carroll stops her, his oceanic, pleasing voice calming her.
Curtis can't think of anything else and mumbles, "Blondie..."
"No, Curtis! You know what? Since this pathetic group can't even look after their own teammates, I am breaking my alliance with you. Curtis. We're done." Blondie picks up a briefcase and her bow and arrows, and follows on towards the forest, away from the Cornucopia.
I see Curtis' face building with anger and he starts to run toward her, spear at the ready. She turns her head and immediately springs towards the forest. I watch in amazement as they run out of sight, into the trees. A sudden squeal is heard and then a cannon. Birds sprite out towards the sky. Someone is dead.
