Demetria Greene
"You found me!" I cry as I wrap my arms around Robbie's neck. I feel Robbie release a shaky breath on my neck and I pull back to see what's wrong. He's really white and when he licks his lips, they don't get wet.
"You're thirsty." I say not waiting for a reply before turning to my backpack and pulling out a full water bottle and handing it to him. As I turn around, I'm caught completely off guard, before I know what's happening, Robbie's face is next to mine and I can feel his breath on his face. I'm about to raise the water bottle between us but Robbie leans in farther and before I have a chance to react, we're kissing. I'm not like most people who say things like I forget where I am, or I stop thinking. My mind is racing a mile a minute and I can't stop thinking. Am I doing this right? Where does my tongue go? Something inside tells me to shut up and just enjoy the moment, so I do. Robbie and I are both sitting cross legged and are leaning into each other, I wrap my arms around his neck and I feel him do the same. We sit like this for what seems like only a few seconds before pulling apart. I look right into his enchanting green eyes and I hear him say the words I never thought I'd hear him say.
"I love you." I stop for a moment. I've never really thought about Robbie like that, he's been like my silly brother who's always there for me, but now that were here and I understand the severity of our situation. I realize that I feel the same. The way the thought of losing him to these games tears me apart on the inside makes me realize it.
"I love you too." I hug him again before lying down next to each other and trying to get some sleep. I put my face on his chest, desperate to hear each and every breath he takes. For the first time in my life, I admit to myself that I love Robbie, and he loves me.
Trixxie Finnegan
I'll bet I'm the only one who has it figured out. The mysterious maze monsters are actually timed. The maze is empty from 3 am to 4 pm but at 5, the monsters are released. 5-9 is the faceless, 9-12 is a cheetah/wolf mutt, and 12-3 is the Minotaurs. It's really not that complicated but I'm almost sure I'm the only person who's figured it out. I also happen to know where everyone at what their relationships are.
The typical careers are still chilling by the cornucopia, Meg and Samantha are together looking for Blake and Haden who are actually looking for them too. Hailey and Dorn have an alliance as do Demetria and Robbie. That only leaves one district nine tribute whom I believe is wandering through the maze still. It's weird that this year the arena is riddled with alliances, in fact, it's only me and the 9 boy who aren't in an alliance. Whatever, it's probably very interesting. In fact, I probably haven't been featured at all. That's fine with me besides, it's not like I've done anything interesting anyways. It didn't take me long to find my way out of the maze and I've been sitting in an oak tree ever since.
I've just started to let my mind wander when I see a movement from the far end of the maze. Its early in the morning, like 4 o clock, so I can't quite see well enough to tell who it is, but it's a group of 4 people. I assume it's the careers and I'm right. As they near my tree I can tell something is off. The district 2 boy is gone and he's been replaced by Piston steel. Well that's a twist I think to myself. The careers look extremely tired, and in the case of Glare, angry. The Ruby girl is talking rather loudly and is totally giving away their position. She's blabbering on about something that I can't quite hear because they're walking farther away now. It's quite obvious that they just figured out that the forest is on the other side of the maze by their expressions. I smirk and settle back into the sleeping bag nest I created for myself when I first arrived. I force myself to stop thinking and drift off to sleep.
Meg Saiden
I can barely keep my eyes open. Sam and I have been taking turns sleeping all night and I'm keeping watch right now. I'm so tired I can hardly see straight but Sam let me sleep most of the night without waking me up to guard so I kind of owe her. We're sleeping at the base of a large tree surrounded in tall grass so I'm not too worried about having to fight off savage tributes. I wait another hour or so before waking Samantha up, we need to keep looking if we want to find Blake and Haden anytime soon. She wakes up with a smile on her face and thanks me for watching. We gather our things and begin walking again. We're about to pass into a clearing when suddenly I hear voices.
"DUCK!" I whisper yell to Samantha and we both lower to the ground and watch for the source of the voice.
"I TOLD you there would be something good if we went through the maze again!" I hear Glare Zenton say. I raise my eyes in time to catch Ruby roll hers as she follows behind him.
"Whatever, if we had just waited an hour and come later, Zeke wouldn't be dead right now!" She says accusingly. Glare whips around and I'm expecting him to hit her but instead he growls something that sure wipes the snotty look off her face. I wait for them to pass before standing up with Sam and continuing to look for Blake and Haden.
"Maybe we should go deeper into the forest?" suggests Samantha. I nod and change my direction to follow her. We walk this way for a little while longer. I'm about to ask for a break when something distracts me.
"Do you hear that?" I ask quietly. Sam nods and we both push away a bush in front of us. My jaw drops as I realize what I'm looking at.
"Water." Sam breathes with a hint of disbelief in her voice. We walk to the shore of the medium sized pond and I dip a finger in. My finger doesn't burn off or anything so I assume its safe and start to drink. Samantha too lowers are head and starts taking deep gulps. I'm wiping my mouth on the back of my hand when a voice startles me.
"Well well, look who we have here!" I whip around, terrified that I'll find myself at knife point. Instead, a smile forms on my face as I see Blake and Haden for the first time in the arena.
