Day Three of The Games -

District Seven Tribute: Jade Arctics

I wake up to a pounding sensation in the side of my head. Blood covers my lap and my jacket, as well as the ground beneath me. I glance over to Carter, who lies unconscious on the floor. I sit up slowly, my head throbbing with pain. I swipe at my nose, then make sure I don't get up all the way, crawling to Carter. He mutters something, and then I poke at his arm.

"Carter..." I murmur.

"Mmph..." Carter says, swatting a hand at me.

"Carter. Get up." I say, shaking him a bit harder.

"What?" Carter asks, smacking his lips together and stretching.

"We knocked out... Where's Zach?" I ask.

"Uh... I don't... I don't know." Carter says sleepily, slowly standing up and rubbing his head.

"Oh, god..." I say, slowly dipping two fingers in a giant puddle of blood that sits about a foot away from me.

"He's dead?" Carter asks me, reaching his hand out.

I wipe the blood on my jacket, then take his hand and stand up as slow as I can.

"I guess so..." I whisper, "But how come whoever did this didn't kill us?"

"Because they have the upper hand..." Carter says.

"What do you mean?" I ask him, picking up my charcoal colored pack and slinging it over my shoulder.

We begin to walk, and Carter takes the lead.

"I mean... They know where we are, and they know that it's just us now... Do... You wanna split up?" Carter stops, turning to look at me.

"Split up?" I ask, hardly able to believe my ears.

"Look, it's early now, but... I don't want it to come down to the two of us... I have my sister to get home to." Carter says quietly, and I can sense the sorrow in his eyes.

"Well... Fine. I guess... I'll go find Douglas..." I say in a quiet tone, trying to remain calm.

I turn around, walking off. I've only taken a few steps before I hear his voice again.

"I'm sorry, Jade. Really. I just don't want it to come down to us in the end. Even if it is the beginning," Carter says, disappearing through the woods.

"That makes one of us..." I whisper to myself, walking off alone.

District Nine Tribute: Cyan Akins

"Please just let me go!" District Three cries, her voice tiny and weak.

"What'd you do with my knife?!" I scream in her ear, tightening my grip around her throat.

She coughs and sputters, kicking at my knees. I am unshaken, though. She squirms and tries to escape, but I just ignore it. I'm determined to find my knife... I know this little brat took it. I caught her snooping around camp, looking through our packs. She is all by herself, and since Aliya and Lotsear are out hunting, I'm taking advantage and having some fun.

"I didn't touch your knife!" Neon whimpers, struggling to get out of my grasp.

"Yes you did!" I snarl, thrusting her to the floor and watching her hit her back and head on the hard ground.

"Cyan... Why are you doing this? I just wanted some supplies..." Neon whispers, wiping at her teary eyes.

"Because you took my knife, and I need something to help me survive... Duh." I growl at her, then walk forward and pick up a cleaver that sits atop the pile of packs we have stocked up.

"Cyan... Don't. Please, don't..." She begs, crawling backwards on all fours until she hits a large rock and is cornered.

"You asked for it, Neon. You messed with me," I yell, raising the thick weapon above my head.

"No!" Neon squeaks, climbing up the rock and scrambling up a tree.

"You can run, but you can't hide!" I call to her, jumping onto the lower branch and climbing after her.

I slip, and then quickly regain my grip. I heave myself up the branches, then stick the cleaver in the trunk and hoist myself up. I snatch her ankle, then tug hard. Then, my foot slips and I swiftly grab the cleaver, going tumbling down with Neon just above me. I hit the ground hard, and Neon falls beside me, trying to crawl away again. I drag her back, then pin her to the ground.

"I hope you're ready to die... Because you've truly asked for it." I hiss, delivering a hard blow to her nose with my fist.

She cries out, and then blood begins to ooze from her nostrils. I raise the cleaver, then slowly lower it, and begin to cut at her forehead. The skin tears as I slide the enormous knife across her forehead, and then I feel somebody grab me by the back of my jacket and yank me off the defenseless girl, who hasn't made a peep.

"Cyan!" An angry voice yells.

Uh oh... It's Aliya. I quickly whip around, then shove her as hard as I can. She only moves back a few steps.

"What the hell are you doing?! She's just a little girl!" Lotsear chimes in.

I hear the crunch of dead leaves, then turn around and see that the girl is gone. I frown, then collapse to my knees and beat my fists into the ground.

"What the hell are you doing?! I was going to kill her! You know?! We are in the Hunger Games, that little brat took my knife, and I'm dying to kill somebody!" I scream.

"God dammit, Cyan! You are so stupid!" Lotsear yells at me, raising her sword and slamming the butt of the weapon into the middle of my forehead.

I collapse onto the ground, holding my forehead, and then becoming overwhelmed by darkness. I feel the pounding in my forehead, and then Lotsear raises the sword again. But this time, I close my eyes tight, and feel my body go limp.

District One Tribute: Hunter D'Agosto

Boom!

A close cannon sounds out, and I stop dead in my tracks. Aurora and Sterling stop behind me, looking around. I wipe at my irritated eyes, then scratch the back of my neck.

"Who do you think that was?" I ask.

"Uh... Well, who's all gone?" Aurora asks me, running a hand through her pink hair.

"The girl from Six, the girl from Twelve, the boy from Ten, the ally for Seven and Six... And... Then the one who just died." Sterling nods.

"We'll know tonight," He adds, taking the lead and beginning to walk.

"Yup..." Aurora sighs, walking after me.

"Who do you think we should watch out for?" I ask the two, pulling a bag of blueberries from my pack.

"Definitely the one from-" Sterling begins, but a Tribute slams into him, and they both collapse in a surprised heap on the floor.

"What the hell?!" Sterling yells out at the top of his lungs.

A little blonde girl with blood and dirt covering her face stumbles to her feet. She pants heavily, looking at us with big eyes. We all kind of stand there, not knowing what to do. She doesn't know if we'll kill her, and we don't know if we will either. I then recognize it's the girl from District Three, and she has some enormous cuts carved into her face. One appears to be a 'C'. The other looks like a '9'. C9? Wait... Cyan... I grit my teeth, then nod.

"Cyan." I say.

Then, the little Tribute is dashing through the woods again, calling Bay Rossey's name.

"Bay Rossey is her ally? Jackpot!" Sterling says, running after the blonde mane of hair.

I grin at Aurora, and she nods. Then, we go running after Sterling. We're ready to kill the nuisance of the Arena... Bay Rossey.

District Three Tribute: Reuben Wires

Adrenaline roars in my ears with my heartbeat, and a twisted grin covers my face. I dash through the forest, jumping over rocks and fallen logs, and twisting and turning around all the trees that stand in my way. I laugh to myself, clenching the two stolen packs tight, and taking a sharp turn to the right. I jump over a little pond, turning and looking behind me.

The District Seven boy, who has a blue haired boy and the District Eight girl hot on his heels, chases after me. His knife has an alligator skin wrapped around the handle, making it look a lot more menacing to me. I ignore it though, hearing them yell insults at me and threats of all sorts.

"We're gonna catch you, scum!"

"You can't run forever!"

"Give us our packs back!"

Mixed results fill the air, and I just laugh some more. After all, he who laughs last, laughs best. I go sailing over a large barrow for an animal of some sort, then hear a loud thump. A large, tan colored bobcat is now in pursuit of me as well. I hear the angry roar of the animal, then shrug and force myself to run faster.

"Run baby!" Douglas calls from behind.

"Come get me, kitty kitty!" I tease the cat, then accidentally smack into another Tribute.

Crap. I'm dead. I'm dead. I died. I'm dead. I hear the barreling foot steps of the bobcat, then quickly help the fallen Tribute up. That's when I realize... It's Neon. Her and her neon pack are soaked in blood, and are filthy. My eyes widen, and I grab her wrist, beginning to run.

"Uh, Reuben! You better hurry!" Neon warns me, trying to keep the pace with me.

Quickly, I pull a knife from my belt, whip around, and then plunge it through the skull of the bobcat. The bobcat's eyes roll in the back of its head, and it collapses to the ground. I pant heavily, catching my breath. Neon pants as well, doubling over with her hands on her knees. Then, I pull her into a tight hug and smile.

"Oh, Neon... You're okay. Thank god." I smile.

"Yeah, I'm alright! Are you?" She asks.

"Of course..." I say, regaining my breath, "Um, what happened to your allies?" I ask.

"Bay's a total control freak, Talia hates her, and I can't stand being with the two. I went off to try and sneak a pack for some extra protection... But Cyan caught me." She says.

"Yes... It... It seems he did some damage to your forehead." I say, gesturing to the 'C' and the '9' engraved in her forehead.

"What?" She asks in a panicked tone.

"It's okay, just... Let's sit down." I say, pulling some bandages out of my pack and beginning to patch up her forehead.

"Anyway, where's your allies?" She asks me quietly.

"I'm right here." Nealon says, coming out from behind a tree.

I smile, then nod to him. "That's my ally. You want in, still?" I ask.

"Of course..." She says, then hugs me tight.

"You're in." I grin.
