Day 1: The Fallen
Sienna Ledwell 18 District 2
I am hacking through the thick jungle with the rest of my teammates, we are walking in single file so I hope Bodhi knows where we're going because all I can see is Jesse's back. Already the heat has gotten to me, I can feel my sweat dripping down all over my body and this tight suit isn't helping with the humidity. All around me I can hear insects and other creatures. I feel like some creature could jump out at any moment! I know some Gamemakers have a sick sense of humour.
We finally reach a clearing as the sun is beginning to set.
"Hey Bodhi I think we should set up camp here...everyone is tired" Eilora says
Bodhi still seems full of energy and he looks around at all of us surprised. Yes, Bodhi we are all hungry and thirsty and tired! I guess I can't complain though, I did volunteer for this.
"Ok" he replies
Everyone sits down and begins getting food and water out the bags. I sit down next to Amary, who hasn't said anything since he killed Alice.
"You ok?" I ask
He looks up at me
"Yeah…yeah just tired…that's all" he lies
"Don't feel bad about what happened back there…you had no choice" I say
He nods at me and forces a smile
"You're right" he mumbles
"Besides I think there are people here that deserve to go much more than she did" I whisper
As I say this I look up at Jesse who has taken a large piece of chicken and stuffed it in his mouth.
"Jesse, only eat what you need for now. We need to save the food" Bodhi orders
Jesse puts the piece of chicken down with an annoyed look on his face
"Whatever boss" he says sarcastically
Just then for a split second in the treeline I notice two long, pointing yellow eyes glowing and I could swear I saw at least six big legs crawl away
"Hey did you guys see that?" I ask
Everyone looks around confused
"What?" Bodhi asks
"Nothing…must be the heat" I murmur
Roderik laughs
"You seeing things now Sienna" he mocks
Kristen Silas 15 District 11
After the bloodbath, me and Persephone managed to make it to one of the big islands
"Come on Perse, we need to keep going" I say
During the bloodbath we managed to get a rucksack and a selection of knives and sai's
Suddenly we stumble across a town in the middle of the island. There are lots of houses dotted around and at the end of the street a large tower which looks like some sort of hotel. Persephone runs her finger down her throat again which is the sign for thirsty.
"Thirsty? I thought you were" I laugh
I rummage around in my backpack until I find the water bottle and I throw it to her. I never thought I would be sharing my supplies with other tributes, my sister always taught me to be selfish after all. I guess I've surprised myself.
"Come on, let's go towards that tower…that our safest bet" I say
She nods and hands the water bottle back to me and we head towards the tower. When we walk through the front door we find a kind of reception area. There is man standing behind the desk in a tuxedo.
"Welcome to the Caribbean inn" he says robotically
When he speaks, only his lower lip moves. Persephone steps back nervously.
"It's ok" I reassure her
I walk around the desk and notice his lower half is a pole going into two wheels.
"Come on" I laugh
Me and Perse then head upstairs until we reach the ninth floor. I open the first door I see and walk in. Inside are two beds, a bathroom and I window. We put our bags down and Perse closes the door. I walk over to the window and look out, I can see the entire town below and the other islands in the distance. We're safe…for now
Jackie Cortez 14 District 3
Me and Ben arrive at a tiny desert island, we tried to go in the opposite general direction to everyone else. Not far from us is one of the main islands, it has a bunch of stone structures and an ancient pyramid thing but this island just has a few trees and some bushes.
I don't regret allying with Ben now, he has proven to be a loyal ally and he did save my life which I'll never forget. But I keep thinking back to what Data said, "don't get close to anyone"…
Ben managed to get an axe and a backpack. I also got a backpack and I've still got Ryon's sword. While I'm looking through the backpacks, Ben is off searching around the small island
"Hey look!" he yells
I jog over to where he is. He has come across a wooden hatch in the sand, he opens it and finds some narrow wooden stairs. He then creeks down the stairs
"Be careful" I say
I know the Gamemakers like to lay traps around from time to time
He then emerges with a wooden crate, lays it on the sand and wrenches it open
"What's in it? Food? Water?" I ask
"Better" he says
He pulls out two bottles of some substance…I think its alcohol. He then opens one of the bottles and takes a sip out of it
"Rum!" he exclaims
He hands me a bottle, I've never really had alcohol before but I guess a small amount won't hurt…
About two hours later we are now sitting around a fire, Ben has had an entire Bottle! And he's pretty drunk. We stare at the sun setting on the water in the distance
"Well…this isn't so bad…" Ben drunkenly mumbles
"Sitting on a beautiful…island…if they had said this is what The Hunger Games is about…then I would have signed up ages ago…" he jokes
I laugh awkwardly. I've only had a bit but I already feel it getting to me.
"What if…what if someone find us…here" I murmur
"They can join the party!" he exclaims raising his bottle
We then both burst out laughing together
Kin Lan 17 District 6
After the Bloodbath I've found myself on a big island, all around me appear to be ancient stone ruins within a forest and a pyramid in the centre. I climb up the stairs and sit on the stone pavement. I don't make a fire because I know that's normally a bad idea from watching past games occasionally in the orphanage. I wonder how Tripp's doing, I hope he's doing ok. During the Bloodbath I managed to get a bag but nothing else. I look inside it and find some food and water. I then begin to create a spear out of a branch I found with a small stone by rumbling it onto the end and carving it until its sharp. In the distance I can see a small like that must be a fire on a tiny island…
Willow Wren 12 District 12
The only thing that disappointed me about today was I didn't manage to get single kill, I didn't even manage to use my blade but I guess it was for the best that I stayed away from the careers. As I walk through the island I find myself in a town, I enter one of the buildings which I think is a shop and lay low for a bit.
Out of the shop window I see two people walking down the street. I think they are the two from District 11. I won't attack yet but when the boy is gone, I think I can have a chance against the girl. She didn't seem much of a threat in the interviews…
Amir Blaise 15 District 5
After the Bloodbath me and Eclipse went inland and found a town. The sun has set now and so we've gone into one of the houses on the edge of the town, we thought about going into that big tower but then we thought other tributes would likely go there. We sit on the front porch and begin eating dinner and listening the various creatures in this island paradise.
We then hear the capitol anthem and we know what follows. We look up and see who wasn't as lucky as us or luckier depending on the way you look at it I guess… First I see that horrible blond boy from District 3 that I punched, not really that sad he's dead to be honest. Then I see Alice, I feel pretty bad about being rude to her on the train that time but she shouldn't have trusted the careers. Next I see the District 8 boy followed by Ceska's face, she wanted this alliance more than anyone else but there you go. Then the District 10 boy and finally Dario's face appears. So he's dead then.
I look at Eclipse and we're both thinking the same thing
"Just us then" I murmur
"The two people that didn't want this alliance are now the only ones left" she jokes
"Funny old world isn't it" I say
She then takes my hand, I guess because I'm the only person she's got now and take to comfort in. We rest out heads together and then stare up at the stars.
