I know. It's been like 9 years. Well not actually…more like almost a week. With my updates though it might as well be 9 years.

Day 2 ladies and gentleman.

Fernando Beck- District 2 Male

I wake up to a sunny day in this awful maze, and a bright and shiny psychopath staring in my face.

"Hello Ferdinand? That's your name right?" ask the girl from District 9

"No, my name is Fernando. How did you find me?"

"Let's not waste time on technicalities." she says flipping her side ponytail. "You know my minions I presume?" she says indicating to the District 7 girl and District 11 girl.

"Why are you talking so low?"

"Because I'm a man?" she says like it's the most apparent thing anyone has ever seen. She holds up her hand that has a face on it, only this time the eyes have eyelashes. "George. He doesn't know you've taken over." says the girl in her normal voice.

"QUIET HEATHER!" screams the girl from District 9

The girl from District 11 gives me the SOS sign from behind George, I mean Heather, whoever it is staring at me, and gives me pleading eyes to help the two tributes held under captivity.

"Mr. Fernando, I understand that you're in a bit of a rough patch." says the crazy girl.

"That's a little bit of an understatement I'd say." says District 7

"MINION DID I SAY TO SPEAK?!" Her eyes light up with a fury as she yells at the District 7 girl. You can see genuine fear rise up in the girl from 7.

"Sorry George!" says District 7 quickly.

"To answer your question," I say trying to take some heat off the girls, "Yes. I am in a really bad spot."

"Exactly what I was hoping for." she says with a smile. "I'm going to offer you a deal. If you accept it then you won't die. Don't accept it, you die. Simple as that."

Well at this point it's not really an option to not have allies with the careers and all...so I think that I might just use this to my advantage. Especially with this psycho in the lead. The careers could see her as a bigger threat.

"Ok. Fine. Sounds good."

"Great." she says blankly as she stares at the two girls behind her. "Minion one, the map please. We have one other stop."

Map? What map? Is is possible that this girl is getting sponsors?

The girl pulls out a map and it's a drawn map of the entire arena, there are four different sections from what it looks like, and if I am correct we are in section 2 by the looks of it.

"Where did you get a mask?" I ask confused

"We drew it." says the girl from 11. "You can see everything from on top of the castle."

I stare at them in awe. This is awesome. Now I need to get ahold of this map.

"Well lazy boy, get up. It's time we see a certain District 8 boy in a shipyard.

Ashylin Harrison- District 1 Female

We arrive at what looks like a castle. It's big and grey, and it's draped in red banners. They all have a symbol of a lion eating a gazelle on it. I've never understood the crest that are tacky like that. Why do I need to see a fighting animal for your family honor?

"This place is bound to be booby trapped." says Alex looking just a little bit nervous.

Kitana quickly reaches over and punches him in the balls. Alex falls to the ground in pain and looks at her bewildered. I stand and look at her slack jawed.

"What the hell was that?!" screams Alex on the floor.

"Just checking to make sure you had a pair." said Kitana, "You obviously do. So act like it."

Alex turns a deep shade of red, and you can tell that he isn't happy that he looked weak in front of Kitana, but you can also tell he's pissed that she just punched him in the balls.

After a minute or so Alex gets up and begins to walk into the castle leading the way. We make our way into in the main chamber and begin to see knights lining the walls. Everyone except me stiffens up as we walk down the hallway to make sure no knight is going to come to life and kill us. The walls are lined with torches, I guess to make the knights look even more threatening.

"They aren't going to use those." I say indicating to the knights. "To obvious."

Right as I say that we see a woman in an extravagant dress come down from the staircase as she walks with a stride. There is a certain level of regalness about her. Her blonde hair is tied back in a tight bun, and her black dress is something of a wonder to me. I could only dream of rocking something like that.

"Who goes there?" she says once she gets about 10 yards away.

"Are you a mutt or a person?" says Aiden confused.

"I beg your pardon?" says the Lady, "What is a mutt?"

"She's a mutt. Kill it with fire." says Kitana as she strolls over to the wall and grabs onto a torch.

She holds up her hand, and Kitana stops dead in her tracks. Whatever this mutt is it doesn't believe it is one. I stare her up and down looking for the thing that makes her not a human. There's literally nothing. If the Capitol is in the business of cloning humans they're doing a really good job of it.

"My name is Queen Esther Heraldina Estonia Tudor." says the Lady as she stares at us with a fierceness in her eyes. "I have no idea who you are, or what you're doing in my kingdom, but I think it's in your best interest to leave."

"Lady, I don't know if you know this," says Kitana "but there is something called numbers. We clearly have them on our side." she says as she holds up 4 fingers indicating us on one hand, and one finger on her other hand representing Queen Esther.

"We can fix that." says Esther as she snaps her fingers, and four knights turn into real people and walk off their pedestal.

"Oh the hell." says Alex as he watches in horror. "I fucking knew it."

"You were saying?" says Kitana giving me a snide look.

The Queen is standing in front of us with two knights on each side. She touches one of them on the shoulder, and it was then that I noticed a scale on her hand.

"You know what Your Majesty," I say knowing fairly well where this was going, "I think we should leave after all."

"What? Bitch. Shut up you don't know what you're talking about. We can take them." says Kitana angrily.

"Very well. If it's a war you want. A war you shall get little girl."

The Queen leans her head back, and starts to erupt in scales everywhere on her body. As more scales are produced the taller she gets, and the taller she gets the wider she gets.

Soon we are staring at a full sized dragon looking down on us with a angry look in her eye.

"Oh the hell." says Alex

"RUN!" I scream as we book it down the hallway into a room.

Aiden slams the door shut and we begin to barricade it with whatever we can find in the room.

"Children, I'll be waiting." says the Dragon voice

"Well I guess we'll be in here awhile…" says Alex back

The Dragon Queen chuckles and we hear her sitting down right next to the door.

Taro Aka- District 3 Male

I couldn't even sleep in my get out of jail free room. I feel so bad for what happened with Alan. It's not that I killed someone, I think I'm capable of doing that. I was after all partly responsible for killing Sebastian in my last games...but not an ally.

I look around the room and stare at the brown walls. Everything is the same. The wooden bed, the closet full of my exciting clothes, everything. The only thing missing is my family, my mom.

"Mr. Aka, you have 5 minutes left in the room. Please feel free to take a picture, or a prize from here. You have the opportunity to find it again later." the voice clicks off and I stare at the picture of me and my mother on the nightstand. I want so badly to relive those days. Where everything made sense. I sit down on my bed, and begin to think of what life could have been like had it not been for the games.

"Taro! It's time for school honey! Wake up!"

I roll out of bed and begin my descent towards the stairs. I walk down each step carefully not to miss one, and when I get to the bottom smile at myself for accomplishing the task.

"Hello Mom."

I sit down at the breakfast table and she plops a plate of food in front of me. Eggs, pancakes, and sausage. None of it touching of course...because that is gross.

"Taro what are your plans today?" she says as she pours her fourth cup of coffee.

"Well I was thinking I'd hang out with Abigail after school."

"I quite like that girl." says my Mom with a smile

I finish my breakfast and head back up to my room. I pick out a bright yellow button down,and red cargo pants. Each article of clothing crisp and readily ironed to look neat.

I gel my hair and make it look nice and parted. Not a single hair out of place. When I finish brushing my teeth is when Abigail comes running into my room.

"Taro, we're going to be late!" she says with a smile.

I hurry and grab my shoes and put them on. Me and Abigail run out of the door of my room.

What a great life.

"Mr. Aka, it's time to leave now." says the voice.

It's not my life though. My life is the games. My life has been the games for over 50 years. This is what it comes too.

I grab the wooden ball off my shelf and put it in my pocket, and walk out of the door.

When I step outside I see Alan sitting against the wall directly opposite of the door. When he sees me he stands up awkwardly and stares at me.

"Hey." he says

"Hey." I say

Dean Worthing- District 1 Male

"What do you think they were talking about yesterday?" ask Star as she helps me clean the dishes. This is the first time we've been alone since Stella pulled Calico away yesterday.

"Probably some sort of mutiny." I say "With Stella's intelligence and Calico's mind for mayhem it could be anything."

Star squints her eyes and stares at Stella who is sharpening a knife sitting against the base of the Cornucopia, Calico is tracing the dirt with her spear.

"Do you really think she's that smart?" ask Star

"I can see it. She's definitely on my kill list." I say

"What's that?" she ask confused

"It's a list of everyone that I see worthy of taking the Victor crown from me. You're on it too. It's just not the right time."

She stares at me shocked as I just told her the minute it's right I'm probably going to slit her throat.

"Well." she says, "On that awkward note, how long do you think we should wait before we go looking for them?"

"I think we should give it a few days."

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

We turn and see a bunch of little brown rats poking up in the center of the cornucopia. They look mean, and keep trying to bite Calico as she is jumping around and stabbing at them with a spear.

"Calm down, maybe they respond to chaos." says Stella as me and Star hesitantly make our way over there.

They begin to crawl out of the hole that they arrived in, and the begin to chase us around the center of the open field.

"I think it's time to go!" screams Calico as she grabs a pack and some extra spears, and runs towards the exit.

The rest of us follow suit and begin our descent into the maze. The mole like creature reached up and grabbed Stella's ankle, and they swarmed her. Star quickly turned around and hurled at a knife at the mole like creature. Once one died, they all disappeared. Stella stood up with a couple of bites on her arms and legs, but ultimately fine.

"I think that's our cue to get the hell out of here." says Calico

A grey parachute flies down from the sky and lands in front of Star. She opens it up and inside is a battle ax. The blade is made out of a giant sharp diamond, and the hilt and the end are outlined with rubies.

"There's a note." she says as she reads it. She puts it in her pocket and begins to walk away.

"Wait, what did it say?" I ask

"Just the normal, "we love you, and I hope you win." stuff." she says shrugging.

"Can I read it?" I ask

"When you get a parachute, you can decide what to do with it." says Star as she continues to walk down the maze.

"PEW PEW PEW." says Calico as she walks side by side with Stella, holding up her hands in a gun form. "Shots fired."

I better make sure the time is sooner rather than later to kill the girl from District 4.

Guys, I'm sorry about the late update. It's been so long...and so...frustrating. I have finals coming up and college isn't a friend of fan fiction ok? I stayed up late just for you.

I left you with a crap ton of cliff hangers. What do you think will happen?

If you could have any of these tributes on your side who would it be? Why?

Fave POV?

Who do you think will die next?

I'm trying to write this story in a reality tv show setting. Like the POV is like the editing they do? Is that coming across? I guess it'll make sense when we get towards the end and you see who is still around.

Thank you guys for your support. 200 reviews?! Love love love.

Keep it classy,

Caleb
