LES GO!

The Bloodbath

It was the day of the games. In the morning, we had all been given last minuted advice from our mentors. I had listened to every word, wanting every bit of a chance to survive. Me and Amelia were taken on a plane, along with the rest of the Tributes, to a large bay.

We were all taken to a hanger type area, and there were metallic walls all over the place. I realised we were underneath the arena. I remember being moved away from Amelia, away from Jerome, and Quinten, and everybody else.

I was brought into a small room, a small glass tube at one end, where I knew I would step onto when I was called. It would take me into the arena... I heard the door open behind me, and I turned to face my stylist Nastashia.

In her hand, she had my dogtag. I didn't even remember her taking it. She walked up to me, looking at my face, studying my expression. "You're scared... that's good, but don't be too scared," She warned. "Or they will kill you..."

"I don't know what is going to happen now," I whispered, looking into her eyes, a small tear dripping to the floor. "I don't want to do this."

"Mitch, you have to. I've got your dogtag smuggled into your possession. Nobody knows about it, but I knew it was important to you, so here," She said, holding out his golden dogtag. "Remember, stay with your alliance... and that Jerome boy too, if your alliance screws up..."

"Thank you for the advice... I don't know what I would have done without your stylish help," I laughed, sharing my last true laugh before the Games began. She gave a chuckle, and then I heard the dreaded noise.

"Tributes step into your tubes!"

I looked at Nastashia one last time before stepping into my glass tube. The walls turned around me so that I couldn't step back out, and I could only give a final wave as my tube began to ascend. I passed many lights and it took almost thirty seconds to get up to the top, but when we reached the top, I was blinded by the sun.

It bore down on me as I tried to get a good look on my surroundings. We were in a forested area. A field sat around us, and the middle of the field, a large stone structure sat. There were ladders on the sides to get to the better stuff on the top, but the only real supplies in the arena were here.

"Mitch!" I heard somebody shout, and I turned to see Quinten looking at me, two podiums to my left. Katelina and Hannah were on the opposite end of the field, while Jason and Mat were on the sides. I looked around, trying to spot my friend, the one that loved me, and I saw Jerome near Katelina.

He looked pale. I could only hope Katelina would spare him if he decided to go for the Cornucopia. I looked to my right, and saw Jerome's District Partner, Adrienne, looking around fearfully, making glances towards the trees. She was heading for the forests. Mat was next to her on the right.

Lastly, to my exact left, Amelia stood, brazen as anything, trembling in anticipation. I looked away from her, and back to the middle. I could see a sword, just near the bottom of the structure, calling out to me. It was iron.

"Amelia!" I called out, knowing she was the closest to me. "Goodluck."

She just ignored me, still looking towards the cornucopia, and that was when I saw the numbers counting down from thirty. My eyes widened. This was it. This was what we had been waiting for.

Twenty seconds, fifteen seconds, ten seconds. My family will be watching this, feeling so proud, but Jerome's would be worried. I don't know about the others. Three seconds, two seconds...

At one second, I took a deep breath, and then, a cannon fired.

I ran forwards as fast as I could, easily beating Amelia to the structure. I grabbed the iron sword, and an orange backpack, quickly turning to see the chaos around me.

Katelina was having a sword fight with the girl from Eleven, while Jason was caught in between the boy from Five and the girl from Four.

I saw Amelia snipe a blonde girl, and it was obvious by the way the blonde fell, this Tribute was the first blood. Amelia turned to me, shouting at me as I felt a sound behind me. I turned to see a boy attacking me with an axe, the one from Three.

I swung my sword, knocking the axe out of the boy's hand, before throwing my sword through his chest. The boy spat out blood as I pulled out my sword. He fell to the ground, and his eyes dimmed.

I heard a familiar scream, and I turned to see that Jason had been impaled by the sword of the boy from Five, the girl from Four dead on the floor. Jason fell backwards, as Hannah crept up behind the boy, slitting his throat with a knife, blood spewing from the cut as the boy hit the ground.

Jason was spasming on the floor as I ran over to help him. "Shit, Jason!" I shouted, getting to the boy who was crying. There was too much blood, he was bleeding out. He clutched my shirt, pulling me towards him, as if wanting help.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry..." Jason went limp as I looked at his now lifeless body with pity. He was a loss, but not a great loss. It just meant one person down, and he never knew Jason well.

Katelina walked up to me, having cleaned the blood off of her sword. The dead Eleven girl lay on the ground behind her. "She was weak!" Katelina grumbled, watching Quinten stab the girl from Nine in the back.

"We lost Jason," I reported, looking at his corpse with a slither of sadness. I turned to Katelina, who just smirked.

"I told him at our first meeting, his skills would come in handy, if he survived the Cornucopia bloodbath, how funny." She gave one of the only smiles I had seen her give, and it was because somebody died ironically. That was demented.

And then, the cannons went off. "One... two...four...six...seven..."

Seven cannons meant seven tributes dead, and as if out of nowhere, in the middle of the sky, the anthem began to play, showing the dead tributes from the bloodbath.

There was Noah and Jessica from Three, Shana from Four, Seto from Five, being the one that killed Jason. Then Jason appeared, followed by Dawn from Nine, and then Katie from Eleven, the lowest scoring Tribute.

I was so glad to see Jerome not in those faces. I wondered whether he had teamed with his District Partner or not... I wish I knew...

Seven had died, but seventeen were left to play the game.

Hokeyp, so that was the bloodbath chapter, and yes, Jason died. It was planned and hinted at as Katelina pointed out their first conversation. Jason said his skills would be useful. Katelina said they would be, if he survived, and so he died.

Ah the irony!
