District Seven Male - Alexander Fell (18)

Ashley turns to me and smiles brightly. Everyone else in the room is also in joy for the high scores. I smile slightly for her...for Ashley.

A sudden thought crosses my mind and I quickly get up from the couch. "Meet me in my room in five minutes," I whisper quietly. I sigh inwardly, knowing it took me a lifetime to say that. Why? I'm not one to tell anyone those words.

Ashley nods her head, a blush on her cheeks. I smile and exit the living room, down the hall, and into my room.

"Why did I say that? I mean, I now realize it..." I say to myself. I sigh in frustation and sit down on my bed. I'm not sure how long I've been sitting there because a while later, the door opens and Ashley comes walking in.

"Hey, Alexander," she says, taking a few steps into my room. I stand up from the bed and walk over to her small standing figure.

"I'm so sorry, Ashley. Please forgive me for lying to you," I say. She looks up at me, her electric-blue eyes holding worry and something I can't read.

"What are you talking about? And when did you lie to me?" she asks.

I open my mouth to give her the answer when suddenly, it's pitch black. Power must've went out, I think. I suddenly hear a squeal and a loud thud. I feel my heart run faster when something lands on top of me and I tumble to the ground.

I groan. "Ashley?" I say. I try to get up, but something is on top of me. I feel for it; I feel hair...fabric... "Ashley!" Even in the dark, I place her body onto my lap. It's too dark to even see anything; it's like I have my eyes closed.

I quickly stand up and I pluck her from the ground, my arms carrying the fragile girl like we're about to -

I feel my way around the room. It's stupid that I have a bad sense at where things are. I groan slightly and I take a step forward when suddenly, I hear movement and something collides with my head and I'm knocked to the shadowed ground. Ashley falls from my grip in the process.

I feel my eyes droop lower, but I fight it and I get onto my knees, but I feel another burst of pain hit the side of my head and I'm in now complete darkness.

District Five Female - Jesslyn Reeden (16)

I gush as I run onto the roof of the building. I go over to the ledge and look upon the city lights. I look up to meet stars, but unfortunately it's too bright for me to see.

I sigh and sit on the rubble beneath me. I toss a few rocks in the distance. I sit for a while and enter the garden on the other side of the building. As I enter, I see a figure in the distance crouch down.

I smile and run over to it or him or her. I giggle slightly and when I'm near, I see Roketi plucking white roses. "What are you doing?" I ask curiously, smiling.

Roketi jumps just a little and he hides the flowers behind his back and looks at me. "I was up here to look at the flowers. When I found this garden, I was kind of...happy, you could say. My mother loved white roses."

"Is that so? I'm sorry about your mother, Roketi. Oh, by the way, did you get a chance to know what your score in training was? I got a lucky eight!" I squeal, clasping my hands together.

Roketi snickers and looks at me. "You are one girl full of joy, aren't you?" he says. I shrug my shoulders and flash him a bright smile.

"Well, that's what a lot of people say. Since people haven't been hanging around with me lately, I think they kind of...you know. But you seem accepting. So you must like me, right? As a friend or something? Oh, and what do you say? About my proposal back in training?" I ask curiously, a smile painting my lips.

He snickers once more and makes his way over to me. "You really are one loud girl who can somehow keep calm, and still be that loud one, too," he says. I'm confused until he cups both of my cheeks with his hands and he leans in and plants his lips on mine. He pulls away. "And I'm saying yes."

I feel my cheeks boil hot and I hear movement. I look to his side to see five Peacekeeper. I gasp and I tug on Roketi's shirt. "Roketi..."

He turns and his eyes go wide.

"Follow us now or we'll force you," the Peacekeeper says. I gasp, knowing it's a girl. The others have a feminine figure... They must have figured out Roketi's weakness in combat.

"Roketi, we have to, you know. If we don't want to go with them, we have to fight them," I whisper. He turns to me with worry.

"I'm not fighting a girl," he says. I bite my lower lip and turn back to them. I look back to Roketi, and suddenly, his eyes drop close and he falls to the ground. I gasp when his body makes a thud.

I turn and I feel a blow to my stomach. I open my eyes, but I feel a cold metal hit the back of my head and my eyes drop closed, too.

District Two Female - Helena "Howl" Draconix (12)

I groan loudly and feel for the doorknob. "Who the hell turned off the lights?" I shout. I suddenly hear movement behind me and I rush forward. Oh, I'm lucky for my quick instincts and a good memory.

I whip open the door, only to find it pitch black also. I walk forward but I suddenly get pushed down onto the ground, and something large landing on top to me.

"What?" I mumble.

"Oh, damn. I'm sorry, Howl."

I groan. It's Noah. I push him off of me and stand up. I listen as Noah stands up too. "What do you think happened?" he asks lowly.

"I don't know," I say. "Do you have anything that could light up?"

"Yeah, it's in my room, but I don't think we should go in there because I thought I heard someone," says Noah. I nod my head, although I know he won't see me in this darkness.

I feel around until my hand collides with his arm. I grab it and say, "Come on, we have to go find Mairi and the others." I pull him and I drag him down the darkened hall.

"Wait, Howl, what are you doing?" I hear Noah say from a distance.

I immediately stop, my eyes wide. "Isn't your arm the arm I grabbed?" I ask in a whisper - in this deathly silence.

"You didn't even touch me, but that time I fell on top of you," says Noah. "And -" A sudden loud thud is heard and the groaning sound of Noah. I let go of his - or whoever's - arm and I duck when I hear something whip by my head.

"Noah, someone's out here!" I shout. Noah screams and I hear a louder thud. I feel a blow to my leg and I kick anything in my way. I take off running down the hall, but I trip when I run into the wall.

"Howl!" I hear Noah shout. I hear more of the sounds of being banged up against the wall, and crashing onto the floor, then the sound of glass shattering. "Dammit!"

I get up and take off. As I run, I suddenly feel myself wrapped in someone's arms. I feel my eyes go wide and my heart beat faster. I try to struggle free, but no success. Suddenly, something comes over my eyes and all I see is the color of green and black.

In the distance, I see Noah fight...a Peacekeeper! I gasp as he gets pushed up against the wall. He kicks but suddenly, another Peacekeeper arrives and lifts him up into the air. He throws him onto the floor and I hear Noah groan.

One of the Peacekeepers retract a cloth from their pocket and hold it in front of Noah's face. I gasp again, watching as his unconscious body gets dragged down the hall. I try to struggle free, but I feel a wet substance against my face, and a disgusting smell.

I try my best to keep my eyes open, but I'm failing, and I'm passed out into a slumber.

To Be Continued...

Ah! I couldn't help but update! D: LOL! OMG! :D So what do you think? What do you think is happening? :O What the HELL IS HAPPENING?! O.O Oh, and a single question... Do you think this SYOT is kind of the same as others...or different...?

Ah! I can't contain myself. :3 (Okay, that sounded wrong but I don't care.) Even the vicious Howl and Noah couldn't fight back in complete darkness! :O Haha, I'll shut up now... Please review, I'd appreciate it a LOT! And am I getting you wondering? ;D OH, AND ANOTHER WEIRD THING! Last night when I was deep in my slumber, I had a dream of Aspen Darrow and Hoyt Kliesen (SERIOUSLY!) interacting, talking about the arena strategy, then Aspen turning the other way and kissing Keith Mapother on the lips! Then Jansen McHaden came out of nowhere, his face boiling angrily! Then it suddenly ended. :p

I have weird dreams, don't I? XD I must be getting into this story that I'm actually having dreams about your tributes... And another thing before I forget; when the Games start (as I already said), I'm going to post up a bookcover. And on my profile, I'm going to post up an IMPORTANT picture so you can keep track of your tributes. ;) Oh, and again, please review!

Note: Since most of the tributes' intelligence levels are high, then their training scores would possibly be high, too, right? (Well, most.)
