The Games are beginning! Get excited! Thanks to Fazzr4 for the 't forget to go to my profile where I have a poll where you can choose your favorite tributes. Vote for your favorite tribues it could mean life or death to them in the arena. I hope you enjoy! May the odds be ever in your favorite tributes favor.
Jerremy Johnson, D9
Horatio woke Ashley and me up, at 8:00 A.M. sharp. We had a bountiful breakfast (for it could be our last) of eggs, bacon, and toast. After, finishing breakfast Dax and Katie went over strategy with us. "Find cover, and look for clean water. Go downhill, you will most likely find a water source in low areas. Also, don't forget you are a team." Katie says reassuringly. We both give our mentors one last hug, before Horatio guides us outside. Outside floats a humongous hovercraft.
"I guess this is goodbye for now, I hope to see one of you in a couple of weeks." Horatio says, and he seems to really mean it.
A ladder falls from the craft, Ashley and I grab it. We become paralyzed to it as it lifts us up into the ship. Inside I can see other tributes sitting in chairs along a wall. Ashley and I sit down in the seat with our names in it. I notice that I will be seating by Randon of Four and Sapphire of Twelve. After all of the tributes are aboard and seated, two Peacekeepers inter the room. One holds the syringe that injects the tracking device in our arms; the other holds the multi-colored serums for our powers.
Max Ryder, D8
The first Peacekeeper takes the needle and plunges it into my arm. I feel a slight pain, and then hear a beep and I see a flashing light underneath my skin. The next one comes with syringe filled the pink liquid that will give me the power of charmspeak. "Your powers will go in affect as soon as the gong rings to start the games." The Peacekeeper then walks to Chloe of Six to my right. Her syringe is a light blue color. Caspian's (who sits to my left) serum was a dark red color.
After about thirty minutes the windows of the hover craft go black, we must be nearing the destination. A few more minutes and the hovercraft lands underground. We all file out of the craft and go into our designated rooms. I go into the room labeled D8M. Inside sits my stylist, Thalia, in her normal, obnoxious Capitol styled outfit.
Amelia Irwin, D3
I sit across from Pandora. I wear hiking boots, tight, stretchy pants, a long sleeve gray shirt, and light-weight jacket. "This jacket will keep the heat in and cold out, so expect some chilly nights. The terrain may be rocky judging from the boots. The pants are water proof and will also keep heat in." Pandora says.
"Thanks for the advice." I say back.
"I have confidence in you, you're smart, and you will survive."
"I hope so."
"Fifteen seconds before launch." A voice says above our heads.
"I guess that means I got to go."
"Yeah, just stand in the tube. It will lift you up into the arena."
"Thank you for everything."
"You're welcome…"
Her last words are silenced by the tube shutting around me. I feel the platform below me start to lift. The light above blinds me. As my eyes adjust, I see the arena for the first time. The Arena seems to be situated on top of a plateau. To the east, the sides end off into the cliff. I hear waves crashing below, so there must be an ocean or sea in that direction. In front of me past the Cornucopia, I see tall mountains in the distance. A forest of trees separate me from them. To the west, the cliff side slopes at a steadier rate and ends in what looks to be a marshy area filled with reeds and tall grasses. The area of the Cornucopia is flat, so I shouldn't expect to fall. I then turn around to see a green meadow of about 400 yards, until it turns into woods. A stream borders the woods and meadow. I turn back to the Cornucopia,
I only have twenty seconds left. I spot a green backpack about 15 feet away and a canteen that may or may not be filled with water. On the platforms to my right and left are Katrina and Xander. I ponder on whether to run across the battlefield to the woods to the north gathering supplies, or head south and be an open target for over 1200 feet. My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of a gong.
Caspian Roth, D2
As soon as the gong rings I dash over to Christian, who is a platform to my left. I run and tackle him to the ground. I punch him in the face a few times. He then grabs my fist and squeezes it so hard I feel the bones start to crack. The pain is subsided by numbness. My senses heighten and I feel adrenaline rush through my body. The serum is going into effect.
"Stupid boy, you can't kill me, I am invincible."
He doesn't seem fazed by this because he punches me square in the jaw. I stumble back in shock. I charge after him again. He evades my attack. I stumble and fall.
"Yes, but I can read your mind, and know what you are going to do before you even do it." He says. He then kicks me in the gut.
The pain only lasts for a second. He then grabs me by the neck and starts to lift me in the air. I thrash in his arms, trying to kick him. I hear the waves crashing below me. 200 feet below me. I then realize what he is going to do.
"Ah, now you're scared. I know your weakness tributes can't kill you, but anything else can. Next, time don't focus on your flaws.'
He then flings me off of the cliff. I feel the sensation of freefall. Soon, I can't even hear the screams of pain above me. Only, the waves that rack the rocky shore below.
Micah Boyd, D12
I run into the Cornucopia. All of the other tributes are fighting outside. I grab a few small packs, a sword, knife, first-aid kit, and some tape. This should be enough for Sapphire, Jason, and I for now. I look out of the Cornucopia. I see Platinum fighting off Jerremy. Jerremy makes the grass grow around Platinum's feet causing him to stumble. Platinum trips and falls to the ground. Jerremy raises his sword for the final blow. CRACK! A bolt of lightning hits Jerremy's sword. Jerremy goes flying backwards. If he isn't dead now, he will be soon.
I then dash out of the Cornucopia. I then come to a stop. An idea hits me. If it was a knife, it would have killed me. I hurry back to the Cornucopia. The fighting seems to be ceasing, but yet no one is guarding the Cornucopia. Which is a good thing for me. I feel my hands heat up. A small flame springs to life in my palm. The heat tickles my arm. I put all of my force into the flame. It grows into an inferno. I shoot a heated blast into the Cornucopia. The insides of it automatically become a conflagration. The heat from the fire stings my face. I then feel a stinging in my back.
Sapphire Vixen, D12
I stand on the edge of the woods, waiting for Micah and Jason. I then, see Jason crash through the edge of the woods, a few yards away. I sprint over to him.
"Did you see Micah?"
"No, did he run to the other woods."
"He shouldn't have. We said that we were going to meet up in the north last night."
Our conversation is then interrupted by the sound of an explosion. We turn back to the Cornucopia. Flames lick the sky, as the Cornucopia is turned into a giant bonfire.
"Micah." I whisper to myself. Who else could cause the whole Cornucopia to go up in flames like that?
We both sit there in awe, when we hear a noise. An arrow shoots through the foliage and impales Jason in the neck. Before anything else happens I take off. I head north towards the mountains. "How is this possible," I think "Both of my alliance members are gone. Micah might have survived, but everyone will want him dead for what he did."

Now the real excitement begins! THE GAMES! Hopefully I described the arena well of enough, but of course more information will be given in time. The way the tributes are illimanated are random (most likely by drawing from a bowl kind of like a second reaping!) but by reviewing and voting on the poll will give me more motivation not to kill that tribute. Sadly only one tribute will remain in the end so go vote!What do you think of the tributes? If you have any suggestions to add to the story or what I can do to make it better PM me or review. Hope you enjoyed this chapter don't forget to review! I appreciate your comments. Go pick your favorite tributes too!
