Jacob, from District 2:

There are only four careers left and the one on watch, the girl from two, Rockelle, left a few hours ago. If I am to kill Drew, which I am, I must do it now.

The logs tilt precariously under my feet, threatening to tip me into the deadly sands.

When I reach the other side, I realise that I have no weapon. Ordinarily, I would use a bow, but there don't seem to be any around. There are knives, though, scattered all over. I grab one from a tangle of rope and creep towards Drew's tent.

Siren is with him, curled up in his arms. In that moment, I hate Drew so much for tricking her into liking him that I have to stab him.

The cannon echoes over the arena and I grin.

But I don't notice Siren, or her sword.

Adeline, from District 10:

The two cannon shots in a row wake me.

Shaki (The boy from 10) is already up, so I do my best to look scared by the shots. He spots me, and comes over to reassure me.

My hand grips tight around my sword.

But then he goes off. He says he's looking for wood.

He moves surprisingly quickly for a man of his size.

While he's gone, I think about what he thinks of me. I get the impression that he sees me as a weakling (That's the idea). I wonder how he saw the girl from eight. Personally, I thought she was just eccentric and strange, but he must've seen her as… Well, a weak victim – an easy target.

I will not be so easy.

Terran, from District 6:

Terran Lacerta was creepy at the best of times, but this was off the scale.

I mean, how freaked would you be if a homicidal maniac suddenly appeared from behind what was a second ago a solid wall?

Pretty freaked.

However, Rosalie had just gone through the death of her boyfriend. She saw Terran not as a threat, but a saviour – an escape route.

Now, Terran likes his victims begging for mercy, so he was at least a bit miffed to find Rosalie practically throwing herself at him.

But he killed her anyway.

Indigo, the Gamemaking Centre:

"Sir, aren't you a bit worried that people are dying a bit fast?" I ask Genisius. A weird question, but its true – three deaths is very, very eventful, especially on only the seventh day.

But, I guess that's the sort of action you get with 72 tributes.

"Hey, Zafficus!" I call, because Genisius just ignored me. "Keep an eye on that girl from ten; I swear she's up to something!"

Genisius glares at me, but nods and brings up a live shot of the boy from ten coming back to his camp with some firewood, only to be ambushed by the girl from the same district.

"Um, sir?" Zafficus asks "How do you fire the cannon, again?"

"The red button" Genisius answers.

"Ok"

Zafficus presses a button, but the cannon doesn't fire.

Instead, the cliff the boy from six was standing on slides down the mountain.

Everyone in the room watches in stunned silence as one of the most valuable tributes is crushed.

Two cannon blasts break the tension, one for the boy from ten and one for the boy from six. Everyone stares at Zafficus.

Genisius is the first to react. "Out!" He screams, looking a little like a mad bull on a rampage "OUT!"

"You said the red button, sir!"

"The button that controls the mountains is not red!"

"They all look red to me, sir, that's the only colour I can see!"

"Do not talk back! Get out of my centre, NOW!"

He does, and Genisius composes himself. "Indigo, you can take the rest of today's shift."

Two gamemaker apprentices and seven tributes left.

If they weren't before, things are about to get interesting.

A/N: Sorry it's a bit short. I hope you liked it?

Anyway, next chapter is what I call a 'Recap Chap'. Basically, I'm going to go over the deaths and remaining tributes, because I know that all of these cannons are rather confusing.

Oh, and the chapter will stand for Day 8, because nothing interesting happens then anyway. Plus, it may take a little while because I want to type up a lot of chapters so I don't have big gaps between updates.

See you then!
