A/N: It's here! The bloodbath! Review you guys! Review!
11:Day1/The First Killings
The first thing I do is look for Gavin. Our plan depends on the arena. I find him directly across from me on the other side of the mountain. Katrina is next to him. On the right side of Katrina is Arrow and then Halle. Great we might have to fight Arrow before we get out of the bloodbath. I look up at the timer, 30 seconds.
I turn to Gavin again and he nods at me. He mouths to me not to go down the crater. I mouth, "I am going down there whether you like it or not!" Gavin nods at me and turns to Katrina. He must have told Katrina not to go down because she is going ballistic. I turn to my left and Talon is waiting to break free and sprint down to the gigantic golden horn. Meg looks at me and I shake my head.
"I'll go around the crater to the other side. Gavin pointed that way. I will get Halle and wait for you over there. Got it?" I barely hear Meg scream the plan and then the gongs sounds.
I jump off my pedestal and land onto the edges of rocks. I mess up my face and sprint down the steep slope. I trip over a rock and begin to fall. I roll over and over. I start to scream. Blood trickles down my forehead already. I finally reach the bottom of the crater. I look up. Gavin is still on his way. I sprint to the gold horn, grab a handful of dagger. I grab a pack and put all the daggers in them, leaving about ten in my hands. I run around the horn and everybody is fighting already. My eyes widen as I see a boy on top of Katrina trying to stab her. She is screaming and kicking. I pull out a dagger and throw it at him. It implants itself in the back of the boy's head. Blood pours out of the scar I made and Katrina gets up.
"Go; get out of here, now!" Katrina gets up, grabs two small backpacks and starts running to the cliff to climb it. I turn around to see Cassie stabbing a girl to death with an arrow with a spot of pink on the arrowhead. My eyes widen and I am grabbed from behind. Gavin throws me to the ground and then yanks me up.
"C'mon! We need to get out of here!" Gavin screams as he pulls me along to the cliff. Gavin holds a long sword and has two backpacks over his shoulders. Strapped to one of the packs is a whip. Katrina is half way up the cliff. I start to sprint.
I turn around while running to the cliff. The sight I see is unbearable. Mira has a trident and is poking it at a girl who is screaming in pain. Tiberius has a short blade and is hitting it against her numerous times. She is crying in pain and the back of her suit is covered in red blood. I scale the cliff's rocks rather quickly, eager to get out of this mess. I reach Katrina and help her all the way up. I look back to see where Gavin is. He is only about one quarter of the way up. I jump down to a lower rock and sprint to him on the steep slope. I grab him and pull him to one side as an arrow hits the rock beside us. Cassie stares up at us with a bloody face and with her bow loaded. She aims and fires again, just missing my ankle. I shove Gavin as hard as I can up.
We finally reach about three quarters of the way up and Cassie has gone back to the bath, ready to kill more. Meg has her hand out to get Gavin while I climb up. I help Meg pull him up and we both breathe heavily.
"Where to?" I ask Gavin. He still is panting for breathe so I turn to see what Halle and Meg got. Meg holds a rather large blue pack while Halle has two small greens ones.
"Let's just head into the swamps. The careers will not set up camp in that ditch. So let's just get down this blasted mountain and into some swamps," Gavin says as he gets up off the rocky ground.
We start heading down the mountain. There are a few caves that go into the mountain, but we keep going. If we hid in one of these caves the careers would find us. The mountain isn't really a mountain. It is just snowing at the top of is where the pedestals are and the size is a large hill. The minute we step off the rocky ground and into the swamps it gets humid.
"Let's stop at the edge here. The careers will most likely be getting all the supplies left at the cornucopia and find a good camp. Everyone check your backpack. Halle, you first," I say as I sit down at the edge of a vined tree that leads into the swamps. Halle opens up one of her packs. It has some dried meat, a water bottle, and a small knife. Her other pack is identical to the first and it holds the same supplies. Meg opens hers next. Hers has some strange shoes that must help you move in the thick mud. It also has a full water bottle, dried fruit, a small saber, and some matches. Gavin's holds a loaf of bread, crackers, dried fruit, dried meat, a long knife, matches, and a strange gadget. Katrina's is next. Hers is full of medical supplies, medicines, liquids, bandages, and a shot with medicines to put in it. Mine has fresh fruit, a loaf of bread, a long saber, a water bottle, which I drink out of immediately, and liquid medicine that goes into Katrina's shot thing.
"Water is a priority. I guess we need to find a good clearing. Trees need water and from the top of the mountain this looked like there was a lot of water in these swamps or whatever you want to call them," Meg says as she straps her pack to her shoulders.
"Meg here," says Gavin as he throws Meg an axe. "I got a few at the bloodbath." Gavin hands her two more and then BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
"Six dead on the first day," Halle says looking up at the mountain. "Let's move," she says with a frightened look on her face. I look up and the career are gathering at the top of the mountain. We all nod and head into the swamps.
We head through the swamps very slowly. There could be anything under a tree or under the thick mud. The trees are very strange. They are made of vines and go up to a big, puffy canopy. We walk through small ponds, thick muds, and tall grasses and undergrowth. The sky, I just notice, is a shade of bright green. A bright blue comes out and we settle our way in a patch of green grass.
The anthem plays and the faces begin to show. First is the male from five, the one I killed. Then comes the pair from 6, the girl from 9, and the pair from 12. Six are dead on the first day of this horror! I settle down, using my backpack as a pillow propped up against a tree. Gavin is the first shift. I watch him for the first few hours and then I slowly drift off in a deep sleep.
