Diana

I finally stumble into the forest and my feet collapse under me. I'm exhausted. I drag myself into a bush so not to leave myself completely exposed. I'm overwhelmed by the whole situation and a single tear rolls down my cheek. Suddenly I'm silently sobbing, trying to control myself so I don't make any noise. I wonder why I fight so hard to stay alive. What do I have to go back to if I live? An uncaring mother, and a life of constantly trying to avoid being felt up by her sleazy one night stand boyfriends? What kind of life is that? I guess the reason is that I want to die a good person, something I know I haven't been up till now. I feel the sudden urge to pray for forgiveness, as I probably won't survive the day, let alone the Games. Since I don't really know what I'm doing or who I'm praying to, I just clasp my hands, bow my head and close my eyes. One silent word falls from my parted lips, 'Please'.

Dekka

I watch Brianna from the corner of my eye. I can see Sam reluctantly giving in to the realisation that he does like her, she's funny and light hearted and makes it seem as if maybe it'll all be okay. I've begun to relax a bit too. I still don't entirely trust her, but it's hard not to admire her bravery and resilience. Nothing can keep the girl down and she never seems to give up. I realize I'm smiling as I look over at her. She looks up and catches my eye, smiling hesitantly, obviously surprised. I hastily drop my gaze and shake myself. What was I doing? Ally or not, Brianna can't be trusted. I need to remember that the next time I am distracted by her confident smile or bright blue eyes. The effect she has on me cannot be good, I can't but feel that this will only lead to trouble, sooner rather than later.

Jack

It's been a few days since the Games started and the further we go without seeing another tribute the more worried I get. I've barely gotten any sleep, taking most of the watches because of how upset Dahra has been since seeing Edilio die. And, whenever I do get to sleep I'm almost constantly awoken by either a nightmare or the boom of the cannon, which leads to more nightmares. This whole place is a bloody nightmare. What am I, Computer Jack, doing in a place like this? I should be at home on my laptop or awkwardly checking out girls with my friends, but never working up the courage to talk to them. I smile as I think of the girl I met for a few minutes at training at the garotting station (no doubt how she had gotten her score of Nine because she'd been amazing, I on the other hand was awful), Brianna, the Breeze. I was never that interested in girls but she'd been different. Reckless and loud and funny. Of course this meant I was more awkward than ever around her. Still, it was alright being told how much you suck at garotting a dummy by someone so cute. I suddenly realized I'd spent the last half an hour or so thinking of Brianna. I shook my head clear of her and concentrated on my surroundings. I was on watch, yet again. I sighed and leaned back into the tree behind me. It was going to be a long night.

Drake

Since Gaia's crazy moment yesterday, we've all been creeping around her to avoid an arrow in the neck ourselves. I didn't much like Gaia from day one, I hate most girls really, but especially snarky, condescending witches like her. I'm about prepared to kill her myself but the fact is she did get a Twelve. Which is bs because I only got a Ten. Even after beheading a dummy from ten feet with a whip. Also there was the District Seven problem. Both had no doubt paired up and they'd both gotten reasonably high scores during training. We'd kill them no problem as we are but if our numbers keep dropping and if Sam and his dyke girlfriend pair up with anyone else we could have a slight problem on our hands. With Orc and Taylor dead, if I take Gaia out, it'll only leave Caine, Penny and myself. So I'll have to stick it out until we finish off our only competition in this place. I glance over at Gaia, lording over everyone as usual and my hand twitches. I won't kill her, not yet. But if she keeps on annoying me...
