Day One: Bloodbath
Skye Windell POV (District Ten)
As I go up into the arena, my heart is pounding. I can hear it pounding inside of me. I take deep breathes and try to relax myself.
Finally I come up on my tube. And this arena is defiantly a place for a wild girl.
There's mountains covered in green trees as far as the eye can see. All of us tributes are in a circle around the cornucopia, which sits directly in front of us and a mountain, with supplies scattered around it. I look through the glass to see Juniper Shad on my right and Erica Carter on my left, two people in my alliance. I look down a little more to see Aden a couple tubes down to my right, but I can't find Rose, Charles, Noel, or Leo. I take a look at the arena once more. Lots of trees good for hiding. But are there any streams? I can see bushes filled with flowers. Probably poisonous. I squint closer at the flowers. There's something buzzing around them. Tracker jackers.
All of a sudden, the announcer voice, Claudius Templesmith's, is booming above me.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, let the Sixty Seventh Hunger Games begin!"
Juniper Shad POV (District Six)
As soon as the gong rings out, I'm off. I jump onto a rock below and race forward. I pick up a backpack as does Erica. I point in the direction of the mountains and she runs off. Erica is too young to die in the bloodbath. I turn my head and see a knife swinging at me. I duck as Vigilante Huntst swings again, missing me. I trip him and he falls forward. I grab his knife and shove it in my backpack.
"Leo!" I shout. He runs towards me. "Find Rose and go in that direction." I point where Erica ran off to. Noel, Charles, Skye and I will meet you there." I'm ducking and grabbing things as I speak. "Go!"
Rose is a couple feet away battling off Eleanor Gubb from District Five. Leo grabs her and they run off. Eleanor throws a knife at the two and they dodge it just in time. Then Vigilante comes up from behind her and kills her.
"Juniper!" I hear Noel shout.
I turn just in time to see Julian Devereux stab him in the back, and watch him drop dead.
Acacia "Ace" March POV (District Seven)
Vivie and I are grabbing things and swinging them into our backpacks. I find an axe and swing it just as Forrest Jackson from District Eleven in coming up on my side. It hits him in the chest and he's coughs blood up, then drops dead. I remove my axe and search for Luna. I see her and Shiloh running off into the woods with Gabriel Monet from District Two, who is shooting arrows. Right before he disappears into the woods, Gabriel fires another arrow hitting Robert Price right in the chest. I chase after them, my axe ready to strike.
Vivienne "Vivie" Cameron POV (District Two)
Julian runs up next to me, his backpack filled to the top with supplies. He picks me up over his shoulder and carries me off into the woods. I watch the bloodbath become smaller and smaller, until it's nothing but a speck.
After running for a bit, Julian sets me down in a clearing, where we meet up with Beth Bray from District Four.
"Robert's dead." I say. "Where's Ashkia?"
Ashkia Dayson's POV (District One)
I see Julian carry Vivie off into the woods. I start to back up slowly, bow and arrow in hand. Charles Hunter comes limping towards me and I fire an arrow right between his eyes. He drops dead and I leave him and the arrow behind.
Acacia "Ace" March
I'm still chasing after Luna and her gang. I can hear their footsteps running. I have an axe in one hand and a knife in the other. I look to my left and see Ethan from home running. I cross over and stab the knife into his back. He drops dead. I put my knife out and continue my hunt.
