(Lucy Destefano,17,Female,Aphrodite)
I brush my blonde hair out of my face as I pull the arrow out of Tyra Steel (The Hermes girl)'s head.
The sound of cannon shots scare the Hades out of me.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
11 cannon shots.
I know for a fact my little brother, Fernando Wood, didn't make it.
I saw his body tossed over a crate.
I make my way over to the other careers to see what they've got.
We have weapons, food, water, Nectar and Ambrosia and shelter.
We split it up, "Right!" Dominick Knight says, "We're splitting up and searching for survivors! Me and the Ares tributes will go together, The Jilla from Athena can
handle herself i'm sure and then Michelle from Artemis and Lucy from Aphrodite go together".
Well at least I'm with a good hunter.
As we set off we squelch through the disgusting mud and reeds.
As we step into the swamp jungle Michelle says "watch out there could be crocodiles."
She's right, this is a swamp and we're in the Demigod Games.
There could be anything.
We comb the jungle for hours searching for tributes but we find no one so we decide to head back to the cornicopia.
We step over logs and duck under trees but as we swing across a lake on a vine the fallen starts.
I brace myself, ready to see the faces of the 11 dead kids who's mortal parents will never see them again.
Who's siblings can never hug them again.
These thoughts deeply sadden me so I fling them from my mind.
That kind of thinking cannot be thought in these games.
Not until I win.
First to appear is Andrew Horus, who's representing Hera but is actually a son of Hecate.
Second is Jackson Hall, son of Demeter, who was actually supposed to be part of the careers.
Emanuel Stone, son of Athena, appears next. Another person who was supposed to be part of the careers. He jumped in front of the Jenna Archers' arrow to save his
sister which was brave but stupid.
Both Jenna Archers and Dylan Lawrence appear for Apollo so I guess Apollo is already out of tributes.
I wonder what other gods lost both tributes.
Ryker Knight from Artemis appears next, I look at michelle to see what her reaction but she remains emotionless.
Maybe they weren't close or maybe she doesn't know what to do.
Both from Hephaestus appear.
My brother appears next and i'm sad but was expecting it.
That's been 9 tributes shown now for the other 2.
The two twins from Hermes.
There poor mother losing not 1 but 2 of her children.
So Apollo, Hephaestus and Hermes are out of tributes already.
Hey, I just realised that Dionysus still has both tributes.
Maybe he's kids are stronger than everyone thought.
I'm in the middle of thinking how long michelle's going to last when her voice snaps back to reality "We should get back to the cornicopia"
So we walk together, in silence, back to the cornicopia.
We're the last careers there "We were beginning to think you were dead" Jilla says.
We set up a camp fire cook our food, have a hearty meal and tell each other stories.
After about 4 hours of just talking and laughing we decide to go to bed.
As I lay in my sleeping bag i'm saddened by the thought that I might have to kill these people.
