Panem woke up early, the sun was beginning to rise and his alliance had made it half way through the maze. He looks over to Sonic who was still sleeping on his soft sleeping bag.

Panem sighs, he knew they had to go back to the Cornucopia, he hadn't grabbed a single item during the Bloodbath... he didn't even attempt to go in. Although he knew it wasn't a brilliant idea to go back he had his ally to protect him. Sonic was the equivalent of a career, he had trained for the Games since a young age but the only thing different is that he didn't ever want to end up here.

He waited a while in the darkness, several beams of light shown through the cracks in the ceiling. Behind him Sonic rustled around, finally waking up.

Panem turned around, "mornin."

"Good morning." Sonic responded. Him and Panem got along well, they were both friendly people and made friends easily.

Seconds pass by before Panem stands up from squatting, "we need to go back to the Cornucopia." he states.

Sonic takes a while to respond, he felt uneasy about the plan on going back to the Cornucopia... he didn't necessarily want to do it, "I don't know if I really want to risk it." he finally responds.

Panem sighs, "how about this, I'll go in and get supplies if you'll stand guard."

Sonic thought about it for a while then smiled, "sure, sounds good."

Katarina wanders through the dark maze. She knew it like the back of her hand already, she had made it to the outside of this Labyrinth several times.

After walking for more than two hours she soon grew bored. She wasn't in the mood to kill right now, but she knew the beast inside would take control again sometime. It was satisfied for the time being though.

Katarina had came up with a plan, she needed allies.

She opens her vest, revealing all different types of knives. She scanned them all for a little then decided on using the razor sharp blade, not rigid or serrated. She took a deep breathe and clenched her teeth together. She raised the blade to her collar bone, pressing it into the skin, she slowly slid the blade across her chest only making slight sounds from the pain.

After she was finished with self injuring herself she let out a loud, pain filled shriek.

"Help me!" She cried out, hoping a lonely tribute in need of an ally would come to her rescue.

Katarina screamed again at the top of her lungs.

"Did you hear that?" Axa questioned Calliope, stopping in her tracks.

Calliope stopped walking with Axa, "yeah." she replied sounding confused, thinking it was all in her imagination.

"Should we go check it out?" Calliope suggested.

Axa stood there, thinking for a few moments deciding whether to ignore it or go see if someone was in need of help. Axa and Calliope were both soft-hearted, Axa being an older sister who always looked after her younger siblings couldn't ignore it.

"Sure" She finally responded hesitantly, "but you lead the way."

Calliope side stepped in front of Axa. They followed the screams down several hallways, occasionally hitting dead ends.

They finally come to a stop when they notice a tribute laying about twenty feet in front of them, it was a girl. She was bleeding immensely from her collarbone. Calliope ran to her assistance first, then Axa followed her. Axa felt uneasy about this, she remembered the girls face but not her name or much information about her at all actually, although she did seem sweet during training.

"Are you okay?" Calliope asked frantically, helping the girl up from the stone floor.

The girl hesitated in responding, "Yeah, I think I'll be okay."

Axa quickly assisted Calliope with helping the girl, "oh my, what happened to you?" she asked.

The girl gulped and began sobbing, "Well, first I was tackled to the ground by a big male tribute" she sniffled before continuing, "and then he reached for his knife from his belt and pressed it to my chest" she pointed to her collarbone which had a huge, shallow gash on it, "and then he swiped it across and left me here to die." She finished, she wiped tears that began falling down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry." Axa said sympathetically, she hesitated for a few seconds, "may I ask you your name?"

The girl lifted her head, her light, hazel green eyes met Axa's.

"Katarina." she mumbled.

Axa smiled, she grabbed a wet rag from her pack and placed it onto Katarina's cut. "Here, sit back for a second, please." she requested, she gently ran the wet rag around and over Katarina's cut, cleaning the blood from the surface.

She turned away and looked through her bag for a bandage, Katarina eye'd her like a dog while she was unaware. Axa pulled out a large gauze and bandage wrap and covered up the girls cut.

"Thank you." Katarina smiled.

The Capitol Anthem began playing.

All the Careers focused their attentions to the ceiling that once again disappeared and exposed the dark, night sky.

Words appeared across the sky, The Fallen, it read.

The first face shimmered into vision.

Phillip Edmonton. District Ten.

The Careers weren't very surprised at this one, he did get a low score and didn't seem very strong.

Rocko Warner. District Eleven.

"So that's who it was." Lavender stated, she hadn't known who the tribute was that Vern killed.

The Capitol anthem finished and the hologram in the sky disappeared. The sun began to rise and the bright sky was once again replaced by stone ceiling.

Wonder walked over to his pile of supplies and weapons, he gripped his spear, "let's go hunting."

The rest of his alliance grabbed their packs and weapons, they had been wanting to go out into the maze and kill unsuspecting tributes.

"Which exit should we go through?" Kat asked, there were eight of them.

Wonder thought for a second, "we'll start on the first one and make our way to the eighth."

The rest of the careers packed up their stuff and began running towards the tunnel. They made it half way through the tunnel before Wonder stopped.

"I'll be right back guys, keep going without me." he said while turning on his heel, he raced back to the Cornucopia.

"Stay here, I'll be right back."

Sonic nodded in response.

Panem turns around and ran out the exit of the tunnel. He looked around the Cornucopia, none of the Careers were there. He grinned before running into the mouth of the huge, golden horn.

Once he ran in he stopped and observed all the supplies and weapons in front of him, "jackpot" he whispered. He ran around the large pile of supplies and grabbed a back pack, a staff and a hunting knife... that's all he needed.

Panem felt a strange and dangerous presence, he instantly whipped his head around and spotted the District One male standing ten feet behind him. His eyes widened and Wonder grinned.

Wonder gripped his spear in his dominate hand and raised an eyebrow, "what brings you here?" he questioned Panem.

He hesitated in answering for a second, "I -" he was quickly cut off due to dodging the spear being thrown at him. Panem rolled around the mountain of supplies and watched as the spear flew past, if he hadn't expected the attack he would've been hit... in the face.

Panem closed his eyes and thought for a second, fight or flight, those were his only options... he could stay and fight Wonder, having a chance to actually kill him or he could flee and Wonder could kill him and his ally, Sonic... Panem didn't want to put that on Sonic, so he decided on staying.

Wonder crept around the corner of the mountain and burrowed his eyebrows in fury, Panem wasn't there, he had let him get away.

Suddenly Wonder was knocked to the floor, Panem lunged at him, knife clutched in fist.

Wonder growled as his face met stone floor, he tried to turn around but was held down by Panem, who was forcing his body weight onto his chest. He quickly raised his knife and brought it down to Wonders face.

The District One boy's eyes widened and instinctively moved his head to the side. The blade sliced the side of his cheek, leaving a fresh open wound on Wonders face.

Wonder was furious, he released his arm from being pinned under Panem's foot. He swung his fist and decked Panem in the eye, hard. Panem stumbled over to the side and fell to the ground, but he wasn't done yet.

Panem rubbed his eye and growled, he gripped his knife and stabbed repeatedly at Wonder who was getting up from the ground. Panem managed to stab him twice in the shoulder.

"I. Don't. Have. Time. For. This." Wonder shouted through gritted teeth, the adrenaline pulsed through his body, he was tired of playing games.

Wonder lunged at Panem, wrapping his hands tightly around his throat. Panem's face began turning red then to purple, he struggled to breathe and was desperately kicking at the air.

Wonder smirked and squeezed tighter but soon released when Panem sliced at his face again with his knife.

Wonder stomped on the boys wrist, causing him to let go of the knife.

He quickly grabbed the knife and held it up to Panem's throat, "you have anything else to say?"

Panem gulped, he knew this was it, "Burn in hell."

In one swift move Wonder slid the knife across the boys throat.

Excruciating pain built up in Panem's throat. He knew this was it, he could have left but he would've been followed anyways. At least he didn't go down without a fight.

BOOM.

Review Questions and Author Note:

2. Overall thought or thoughts on chapter?

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It wasn't extremely event filled but there was a fight and the psychopath lied into getting allies, which is "exciting".

Panem Gemini: Aaaaagh where do I even begin? Okay, Panem was one of my favorite tributes, he was in my Top Nine. It was really saddening to write his death because I didn't want to kill him off, but I also never planned for him to get any further. This is the Hunger Games and it has to happen, thanks to the submitter for sending in Panem!
