Amethyst Grey-Returning Tribute from the 36th Games/Barkley's Partner
Barkey is something else man. I thought I was sick and sadistic. The main problem with it though is something seems like it's not connecting. Like if her brain was an elevator it doesn't quite reach the top floor.
"I killed him Amethyst."
I know she killed him. I watched her kill him. It's not something that is uncommon we were both in the Hunger Games already. We were both runner ups for crying out loud. Surely she had killed before.
"I know you did Barkley."
She looks perplexed. "I enjoyed it."
"I do too."
"Amethyst, surely we were made for more. Surely we were made for things other than these games. I remember when my father heard about the game. He trained me for an entire year. An entire year. An entire year dedicated to killing. An entire year of training to tell someone they aren't good enough to be alive. An entire year, and then I died."
Now it's my time to be perplexed. Why is she opening up to me. My question is answered when she picks up a knife and she attempts to slit her wrist.
"What the hell Barkley?!" I slap the knife out of her hand and tackle her.
"Listen. You're attached to me. I'm not dying because you want to go all noble. Once we are unattached kill yourself I don't care.. Until then however you're alive and well."
I pull out a rope that I got from the cornucopia and tie her hands together. She's staring at me blank faced. I look around at the surrounding area. I need to pick a camp that is easy for us to move around and not come into contact with other tributes until the split. We walk about a mile into the forest and find a set of trees that are tall enough to climb and short enough to get down easily in case the game makers get a little antsy. If they still do that.
"I'm untying your hands. You climb the tree. You stay on the branch. I tie your hands back together and belt you in. You understand?"
She nods.
I untie her hands and brace myself in case she tries to make a break for it, but she takes her pack off, hands it to me, and starts to climb. I'm right behind her and throw her pack up. She catches it and waits. I tie her hands together and belt her in.
"This is actually pathetic."
I look down from the tree and see the girl from the 23rd games. Aphrodite I think her name is?
"I have no loyalty to you. Leave and I won't kill you." I say to her and her little pipsqueak of a partner Randile.
"No one has loyalty to the returners" she says. "See I think it's in all of best interest to join an alliance. You and Barkley, Randile and I, and MaryJane and the weirdo from 3."
I ponder and look at Barkley. Can she handle being in an alliance? Do I actually trust that girl with the idea of having my back? I look down and give her a look. She looks just as scared in this situation as we are. We were all brought to life that is.
"Fine. Where do we find MaryJane and Wonder boy explosives?'
"We are here.." I hear a sweet voice that comes from behind the bushes. "We've been following you."
She and her tribute partner come out from behind the bush and smile.
"So I guess this is it?" MaryJane says
"By the way I am not a weirdo." says the Weirdo
Just like that I feel we might actually have a shot.
Roseali Micks-Capitol Tribute/ Mathilda's Partner
Mathilda and I are just happy to make it out of the bloodbath. She's not the most trained, I'm not exactly trained at all. Here we are though. Two packs, a spear, and a couple of bottles of water and a bag of jerky.
"I wonder what Tyler is doing right now…" Mathilda wonders out loud.
I'm tired of hearing this. He's a bad guy. She deserves so much better. I refuse to let someone who thinks so highly of someone so awful die in these games. It's my job to figure this out. We need to kill this SOB.
"Mathilda...he's not a good guy."
"Rose you don't understand I lo-"
I slap her in the face. As hard as I can. She looks at me amazed and perplexed, and hurt all at the same time.
"WHAT THE HELL."
"Remember when he would do that to you?" I say "Remember when that son of a bitch would lay his hands on you. You would have to lie to your parents, your friends, your training instructor. Everyone."
She starts to sob uncontrollably.
I hear a rustling in the bushes and spin around in time to see the District 1 Mafia Princess. She looks perplexed and all together sympathetic towards Mathilda.
"What did you do to her?" says District 1
I'm shocked. I realized what I did to Mathilda and went to her. I wrapped her in a hug. Then remembering there's a trained tribute standing not more than ten feet away I spun around ready to fight.
"I'm not going to hurt you." she says
"How did you find us?" I say
"We are camped not to far from here. I had to pee, and I heard crying. Now I just remembered I'm sitting in the Hunger Games..."
I don't know what to do at this point. It's in a awkward situation all together. I can take her out now, and live and also take out one of the biggest threats in the game. Or I can see what she's planning and maybe use this to my advantage.
"When the split happens I know me and Granite are going to be the first ones that are targeted. We are a couple, and everyone is scared of me because my Dad. I need a side alliance to join after the split. Any takers?"
I give her a smile. "Yes. We are in."
Hadley Adams- Capitol Tribute/Addison's Partner
I wonder what Ecstasy is doing. How are we not in the same alliance? We've planned our whole lives for this situation. Nothing is falling into plans.
Riley and I have been walking for more than an hour and we haven't found any tributes. He does keep staring at me though which I find weird.
We are walking towards the desert area of the arena when I hear voices.
"This is actually pathetic" it says.
Me and Riley smile to each other. This is too easy.
We perch ourselves in the bushes and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike, and then I turn my head to the right and see the girl from the 22nd games staring right back at me. Her partner following suit. She holds her fingers up to her lips and tells us to be quiet.
"We're here she says" as she steps out of the trees. Not before giving us a "hold on" hand sign.
She and her partner go out there and start up a conversation with the other 6.
"I think we should set up a camp" says the Pretty one, Aphrodite?
MaryJane gives us the signal to come out, and we do.
I step out of the bushes and hurl my spear at the girl from the very first Hunger Games. It hits her in the head and she falls from the tree. I'm waiting for a cannon fire but one doesn't go off.
Meanwhile Aphrodite launches herself at Riley. They are wrestling on the ground when her partner runs at me with a knife. Brighton steps in and grabs him by the neck and hurls him against a tree.
BOOM
A cannon had fired and I'm trying to distringuish if it was for Barkley or Randile when all of the sudden the tree's branches magically animate and drop Amethyst on the ground.
"No! No!" she shouts "This isn't fair!"
The ground opens and she falls.
Aphrodite picks up Randile and runs out of the clearing. MaryJane and Brighton look at us with a smile. I think we found ourselves two new careers.
