Maize Andrews (12), District 9 POV

I could tell it was starting to get late. It had already been a couple of hours since we entered the ballroom, and we were still here alive and well. Drayden and Ethan took turns keeping watch, and every once in a while they would go out into the hallway to see if any tributes were lurking about. We heard someone outside the door at one moment, but they left after a while.

I looked around at everyone in my alliance. Drayden was still keeping watch by the door, and Ethan was sitting in one of the plush red chairs. The girls seemed to be having a great time. Piper was playing a simple melody on her flute, and Mallie and Josephine were playfully dancing around the big dance floor to the music. They were both laughing, and every once in a while they would pretend to dance with each other.

I smiled as I watched the girls have a great time with each other. I turned back around and noticed Ethan was still looking through some supplies even though we had already checked every backpack. Drayden was leaning against the wall near the door. His eyes were closed, and his arms were folded against his chest. He had taken his bottle green colored jackets off so he was only in his tank top.

I slowly walked over to him, and once I reached him I leaned my back up against the wall as well. I crossed my arms like he was doing, and I looked over to see him looking and smiling at me. I smiled back, and that made him chuckle a little bit. He then looked away from me, and he started looking towards the girls who were still dancing on the other side of the ballroom.

"Looks like they are having a great time." Drayden suddenly said. I turned to look at the girls, and Josephine and Mallie were dancing with each other again. "I wish I could have that much fun."

"Then why don't you?" I asked Drayden. He looked back over at me with a strange look on his face. "Why don't you go over and join them?" I asked. "It looks like they're having a great time."

"Yeah." he replied. "They are, but someone has to keep watch."

"Then make Ethan keep watch for a while." I replied. "He's not doing anything."

"Yeah." Ethan said. "But I don't think Ethan would want to. I'm kind of having mixed feelings about him."

"What do you mean?" I asked slightly confused.

"I don't know." Drayden replied. "He just seems a little weird is all. I think he doesn't like me."

"Why wouldn't he like you?" I asked. "You're a great person and a great leader!"

"Thanks Maize." Drayden replied. "But I don't think he cares. Maybe he just doesn't trust me cause we're not from the same District."

"Well he seems to trust Mallie and Piper just fine." I reply.

"I know." Drayden replies. "That's why I'm confused. It's like he specifically targeting me. It's like he secretly hates me, and when someone hates you in the Hunger Games, you make sure you keep your distance."

"Do you want me to go talk to him?" I asked suddenly.

"No." Drayden replied. "No Maize. It's fine. I'll continue to keep watch. Why don't you go join the girls? You deserve to have a little bit of fun."

"Thanks Drayden." I replied. "I do deserve it, but so do you. Don't let Ethan scare you. He's on our team you know?"

"Okay Maize." Drayden replied as he shuffled his hand through my short hair messing it up a little.

I smiled at Drayden again, and I started walking towards the girls who were still dancing like the crazy kids they were. I looked over at Ethan, and he was smiling at the girls as well. He suddenly looked over towards me, and his smile faded for a moment before it returned. He waved at me, and I waved back with a smile. Why did he stop smiling like that once he saw me?

I turned my attention back towards the girls, and I smiled even brighter because Josephine and Mallie were swirling like professinal dancers. Josephine seemed like she was an advanced dancer for some reason. Did she take ballet lessons or something? I couldn't be sure unless I asked her. I finally stopped walking once I was right next to them.

Mallie suddenly walked up to me, and extended her hand out towards me. Was she inviting me to dance with her? I blushed a little as I took her hand, and she only smiled brighter. We started dancing together, and I blushed even harder when she lowered my hand towards her waist. She put her hand on my shoulder, and our other hands interwined with each other.

We started dancing lightly, and Josephine was now looking at us. She had stopped dancing, and she was smiling brightly at me. "You two are just so cute!" Josephine suddenly said. I blushed even harder, and I could tell Mallie had started blushing a little as well. "Keep dancing together!" Josephine squealed with delight. "I can't believe how cute you two look right now!"

"Shut up Josephine!" Mallie and I said at the same exact time joking. We both looked at each other again, and both of our faces turned an even darker red color.

Roxie Lantent (18), District 12 POV

I was still hiding in the mudroom after a few hours. This room was quite small, but it was cozy, comfy, and sort of hidden. I was currently hiding behind the many coats in the room just in case a snoopy tribute came wandering through the room. I didn't really like being alone in a place like this, but at the same time I did. I liked scary things, but being both in a haunted mansion and in the Hunger Games was utterly frightning to me.

When I first escaped the bloodbath and ran into the mansion, I went through the garage door. I had hidden in the garage for a while, but those two tributes from District Eight had soon entered the room. I was a little nervous at first when I saw them, but I completely freaked out when that dumb bimbo started honking that car horn. It was like she wanted to be found.

After those two tributes left, I ran to this room right away. There was no way in hell that I was going to be found. I needed to keep moving. I couldn't stay in one place for too long. A lot of tributes in past games died from staying in one place for a while. They were all eventually found, and killed. I suddenly stepped out from the coats, and I started walking towards the other door that didn't lead back to the garage.

I wrapped my pale looking hand around the rusty faded doorknob, and I turned it until it creaked open. I looked around instantly and noticed I was in a really big foyer of some sorts. I noticed a huge crystal chandelier swaying back and forth from the ceiling, and a giant rug was placed on the floor. Two large staircases led to another level in the foyer, and many doors were scattered across the room.

I looked around again, and I noticed that no one was currently in this room. I looked to my left to see two large double doors, and I assumed they led back into the front yard where the bloodbath had taken place. I felt a little nervous knowing that all the Careers were just behind that door, but I kept calm and let myself cool down for a moment.

I looked to my right at the nearest staircase, and I decided that I was going to go up it. I started silently jogging up the staircase, and each step I took felt nice knowing I was another step away from the Careers. I finally got to the top of the staircase, and I looked around again at the upper level of the foyer. There was a little balcony or overlook, and there was another pair of large double doors straight across from the little balcony.

A single door sat there at the far end of the room, and another door sat just a couple of feet to my right. I thought about it for a moment, and I decided I was going to go into the door right next to me. I turned my attention back towards the door, and I slowly approached it. What was I going to find behind this door? Was it going to be another room, or a hallway?

I opened the single door, and I allowed myself to walk into the empty hallway. Candles lit the wide hallway, and the floor was covered in dusty ripped red carpet. A couple of cobwebs hung from the corners where the ceiling met the walls, and I even stepped back a little when a rat scurried across the floor as it made a slight squeaking sound.

After the rat disappeared into a small hole in the wall, I silently started making my way down the creepy hallway. I couldn't hear anything except for the sound of my heavy breaths, and for the little searing sound that the small flames from the candles made. I held onto my boomerang tight just in case I was jumped. I still felt bad that I knocked that District Seven boy down at the bloodbath. I didn't mean to. He just startled me was all.

After walking for a few moments I noticed another small wooden door to my right. I slowly approached the door, and once I reached it I stopped walking. Should I look in this room? Should I hide in this room? I thought about it for a moment before I put my hand on the small door handle. I turned the handle down, and the door opened slowly again. I saw nothing but darkness as I walked into the room.

I felt around for a light switch, and after a while I finally found it. I flicked the light switch upwards, and the lights came on in a flash. The room was very small, and it actually seemed to be some sort of bathroom. The floor was all made of black and white checkered tile, and a cheap looking light dangled from the cracking ceiling. A toilet was placed to my left, and a small sink to my right.

There was a small mirror in front of the sink, but half of it seemed to have shattered. At the far end of the bathroom was a small glass cabinet on the wall, and it looked like some medicine was sitting inside. I smiled to myself as I locked the bathroom door, and then I sat down on the toilet. I put my supplies down, and I relaxed a little. This was going to be a good place to relax for a while.

Amber Emmanuelle Miles (16), District 4 POV

I was currently sitting on one of the large plastic crates near the cornucopia. I was smiling to myself as I fiddled around with my throwing knifes. My bow and arrows were on the ground next to my feet. The sun was starting to set even though I couldn't see it, and the wind had started to pick up a little. My blonde hair blew gracefully in the wind, and I smiled even brighter.

I finally put my throwing knifes back into my sea storm green colored jacket, and I sat up straight on the crate. I yawned slightly, and I looked up to the sky to see it had turned a light orange color. Big white puffy clouds were scattered in the endless orange sea, and I noticed the silver linings in the clouds as well. It was going to be night soon, and I for some reason I was excited.

I looked around at my fellow Careers, and I noticed some of them were getting ready to call it a day. Swanky and Tobias were each pitching a tent. I guess we only had two tents. Andromeda and Cleo were both arranging the supplies, and Royce and Emerald were gently talking to each other by the water fountain thats' water had still been stained red from all the blood.

Deswat was taking a little nap up against the tree on the other side of the yard, and Katana was over by the garage practicing with her katana. I still thought it was weird that she was named after a weapon. I looked back towards the cornucopia and noticed Easton, Farore, and Foxy talking to each other. I wondered what they were talking about?

I sat up from my crate, and I started walking towards the three of them. I finally stopped walking once I was right next to them. Easton seemed to see me coming, and he smiled a little. "Hey Amber." Easton greeted me. Foxy and Farore both turned around as well. "Foxy, Farore, and I are going to go on a quick hunt in the mansion." Easton said. "Do you want to come with us?"

"Yes I for sure do!" I said gleefully.

"Great." Easton replied. "We're leaving in ten minutes so be ready by then, okay?"

"Yes I will." I replied as I pretended to salute Easton. Easton laughed a little and so did Farore. The four of us dispersed to go get ready. I walked back over to the crate I had been sitting on, and I sat back down on it. I looked around at everyone again, and I smiled because I knew we were the best Career alliance yet.

I instantly thought of my family back home. I couldn't help but to feel weird because all of my family and friends were watching me right now. My father Stephan was probably watching me right now, and so was my brother Damon. What were they thinking of me when they saw me in the bloodbath? Were they scared? Where they proud? Were they ashamed of me?

I honestly didn't know that my dark side would come out so easily. I thought I would have to go through pain, suffering, and many encounters before my dark side was revealed, but when the bloodbath started it kind of just came out to play. I haven't killed anyone yet, but a part of me wanted to. Did that make me a bad person? Or was that just how I was supposed to feel?

I finally stood up from my crate after about ten minutes, and I threw my quiver of arrows over my back. I picked up my bow, and I started making my way back towards the cornucopia. Easton, Foxy, and Farore were already waiting for me, and when I arrived they greeted me again. Farore had a backpack and his large dagger that Easton used to kill Maxwell. Foxy had a medium sized sword, and Easton had his rapier.

"Are you ready to head out Amber?" Easton asked.

"Yes." I replied. "As ready as I'll ever be."

"Good." Easton replied. "Let's get going then."

The four of us started walking towards the big doors to the mansion, and the rest of the Careers waved goodbye. I was excited to go off on another hunt. I really wanted to find someone and just kill them. I wanted to see how it felt. The four of us continued to walk to the mansion until we finally arrived at the doors.

We entered into the foyer again, and this time Easton wanted to go another way. "Okay." Easton said. "We went to the left door on the upper level last time. So what about we go through the large double doors on this floor? Is that okay with everyone?"

"Fine with me." Farore said.

"Whatever is fine." I said.

"I just want to find a tribute so I can kill them." Foxy replied.

"Alright." Easton replied back. "It looks like we're going to go through the large double doors then." We all nodded our heads, and we started walking towards the doors on the current floor we were on. We got to the doors, and Easton was the first one to enter. We all stepped into another hallway, and the flames from the candles didn't seem as bright as before. I quickly pulled out a flashlight just in case, and I flicked it on.

Kring Dynmas (16), District 6 POV

I continued to shuffle through all the different items on the tall shelves. I had gotten absolutely no supplies during the bloodbath because I just ran for it. After a while of traveling through the hallways on the first and second floor I finally decided to enter a room, and I was glad with the room I decided to pick. Out of all the rooms I could have gone into I went into this room.

It seemed to be some sort of storage room or something. It was actually quite big. It was probably as big as the foyer minus the second floor part. Tall shelves that extended to the ceiling lined up across the room. There was at least three aisles and rows of shelves, and there were different items on each shelf. Items most people would consider junk, but what fewer people would call treasure. I heard someone say something about one man's trash being another man's treasure or something.

Empty cardboard boxes littered the room, and so did opened ones filled to the brim with knick-knacks and antiques. A tall broken grandfather clock sat against the wall, and even a old looking bicycle lyed sprawled across the floor. I started walking across the cold dusty concrete floor, but it was hard to manuever through all the junk. I noticed a box full of dusty ripped pictures, and another box filled with broken jewlery.

I started going down the first row of shelves, and I felt like I was in some sort of library. The only difference was that there was junk instead of books. My eyes scanned the shelves of the first row, and I notice a couple of things. I noticed some old kid toys on a bottom shelf, and they kind of creeped me out. One of the toys was an old looking doll with red hair like a mop, and stitches for a mouth. It had buttons for eyes, and I noticed it had a little thing you could pull on its' back.

I picked up the doll, and I instantly pulled the little cord. The doll suddenly started speaking. It spooked me out a bit, but I calmed down once I realized it was just a toy. I put the doll back down on the shelf, and it continued to say "Mama" in a creepy girlish voice. I continued walking down the aisle, and after a while I got to the end. I could still hear the doll talking, and I had to guess it was broken or something.

I started walking down the second aisle, and I noticed pretty much the same things. Dusty white sheets of paper littered this row, and it looked like a hurricane of white paper had devestated this row. A deflated basketball layed on the floor, and so did some more empty cardboard boxes. It was like a hoarder's paradise in here. I really wanted to find a flashlight in here because there was only a single lightbulb that kept this room slightly light.

I was nearing the end of the second row, and I kept seeing the same old things scattered across the shelves. I finally noticed a small backpack hanging from the end of a nail that had been hammered into the shelf. I ran up to it quickly, and I took it off the nail. I suddenly searched through the backpack, but after searching I didn't find anything. It was completely empty. I sighed to myself in disappointment, but I still flung the backpack over my shoulders.

I turned the corner again, and I started walking down the last aisle. My eyes widened in happiness for a moment because this entire aisle was filled with canned food and many bottles and containers of water. I instantly started grabbing everything I could fit into my new backpack. I got some beans, some vegetables, some oats and grain, and I put about four water bottles in my backpack. If I ever ran out of food or water I could just always come back here.

After I had finished packing I started walking back towards the door. I wasn't going to leave, but the area by the door was the least littered. I finally got to the door, and I stopped walking. I looked down to the ground, and I noticed a single flashlight sitting in one of the cardboard boxes. How much more lucky could I get? I picked the flashlight up, and I made sure it still worked, which it did.

I was about to take my backpack off, but I suddenly heard something on the other side of the door. I walked up closer towards the door, and I pressed my ear against it to listen. I heard whispering, and I could tell there was more than just one person. Their whispering was getting louder, which meant they were getting closer. I suddenly thought about the Careers, and that's when I realized they were searching for tributes.

I kind of freaked out. I suddenly turned around, and I looked around the storage room. Another reason I loved this room was because it was a good place to hide. I instantly ran towards the small lightbulb that was dangling from the low cracked ceiling. I grabbed the little string, and the lights suddenly went out. I was surrounded by darkness for a moment, but I suddenly turned my flashlight on.

I ran through the storage room in the dark, but my flashlight guided my way around the room. I was careful so I didn't trip on anything, and the toy doll was still saying "Mama" in a annoying girly voice. I finally found a large empty cardboard box, and I jumped inside of it. I grabbed the top of the box and held it closed so it looked like it had been unopened. I turned my flashlight off, and I was once again enveloped in a claustrophobic darkness.

I waited for a moment, and finally I heard the storage room door open with a creak. A flashlight suddenly turned on, and it acted like a spotlight as it scanned the large dark room. I heard the Careers whispering again, but I couldn't tell what they were saying. I was breathing heavily, and I closed my eyes for a moment. Maybe they would just take a quick look and go away. All I could do now was hope and pray that they didn't find me.

Easton Stryker (18), District 2 POV

The four of us all entered our first room to search for some tributes. Sure there was plenty of rooms we could have entered on the way here, but we could just do whatever we wanted. Foxy was looking really fired up, and so was Amber who had one of her throwing knifes in her right hand. Farore was in the rear, and he still had his large dagger.

The room we entered was dark, and the air was so dusty it instantly made Amber sneeze loudly. "Excuse me!" Amber suddenly said as she flicked her flashlight on. The room wasn't as dark anymore thanks to the flashlight, but wherever the light wasn't darkness still remained. We started walking further into the room, and it looked like we were in a large storage room.

I looked up at the ceiling for a moment and I noticed a lightbulb dangling from the ceiling. I instanly turned around to face Amber. "Hey Amber!" I shouted. "Shine your light over here." Amber soon walked over to me and shone her light on the lightbulb, and I saw a small string or thread hanging next to the lightbulb. "Excellent." I said as grabbed onto the thread and pulled it down.

The lightbulb came to life with a buzzing sound, and light soon flooded the room in every direction. "That's much better!" Amber suddenly said as she flicked her flashlight off. "I can see clearly now that the darkness is gone." Farore and Amber both laughed a little, and Foxy only smiled as she continued holding onto her sword. I smiled back at her.

I soon frowned once I noticed a quick movement from behind Foxy, and I realized it was a tribute trying to make his way to the door. "Foxy!" I suddenly yelled. Everyone sort of jumped at my sudden outburst. I pointed behind Foxy's shoulders. "Behind you! A tribute!" Foxy, Amber, and Farore all suddenly turned around to see the boy from District Six who had grey hair.

"Get him!" Foxy suddenly yelled. We all started charging except for Amber who stood still underneath the dangling lightbulb. She had a look of amusement on her face, and she was getting ready to throw one of her throwing knifes. I got my rapier ready to strike, and Farore looked both nervous and excited. The boy suddenly freaked out, and he retreated back because he couldn't make it to the door.

The boy started running down one of the large rows of shelves, and Foxy, Farore, and myself chased him as fast as we could. Farore accidentally tripped on a cardboard box, and he fell to the ground with a thud. I didn't have time to help him though. Foxy and I continued to chase him, and we chased him around a corner only so we could run down another aisle after him.

We chased him down the other aisle, and paper littered the floor. After a moment we came back to the lightbulb where Amber was standing, and I watched as she threw one of her throwing knifes at the boy. The boy suddenly dodged her knife, and raised his small dagger. At first I thought he was going to stab Amber, but I watched in interest as he directed his attack towards the dangling lightbulb.

His small dagger completely shattered the lightbulb, and the room went dark again except for the many sparks that suddenly erupted from the broken lightbulb. I watched in horror as Amber fell to the ground with an ear-splitting scream, and as the sparks and shards of glass fell down onto her. I could barely see the District Six boy running towards the door again in the dark.

I quickly started running after him even though I could barely see him. "Amber!" I yelled. "Quick! Turn on your flashlight and help me!"

"I'm trying my best here Easton!" she yelled back in the dark. I finally caught up to the boy, and I tackled him to the ground into some empty cardboard boxes. He grunted loudly as he hit the cold floor. "Okay!" Amber yelled. "Here we go!"

Amber's flashlight suddenly turned on, and she shone it on the boy and myself. This would be a little easier now. "Get off of me!" the boy yelled suddenly. He then tried slashing his knife at me, but I grabbed his hand and stopped his attack completely. We wrestled around for a moment, and the light from the flashlight kept going back and forth between the two of us. It was hard fighting in the dark with just a single flashlight shining on you.

I finally pried the small dagger from his small hands, but at the same time he got up from the ground. "Oh no you don't District Six!" I yelled out loudly. I grabbed the kid's ankle, and he tripped back down onto the floor. I quickly crawled over to him, and Amber shone her flashlight onto the kid's back. I instantly raised the small dagger, and Amber moved the light towards the dagger so it shone bright in the darkness.

I quickly brought the dagger down, and I watched as blood flew out from the kid's back as he screamed loudly. I stabbed the back of his neck next, and he screamed even louder. It felt like gasoline was running through my veins, and I smiled as I pulled the dagger out from the kid's neck. More blood came splashing onto my slightly sweaty face, and the feeling was warm and sticky.

I slowly stood up with the bloody dagger still in my hand, and Amber was shining the flashlight in my face. I looked down at the boy and noticed he wasn't moving or making any noise. The room suddenly seemed to shake a little at the same time a cannon echoed in my ears. I smiled to myself in victory, and I turned back to see Amber, Farore, and Foxy all smiling back at me.

"Only thirty-one of us left now." I said quietly.

Aurora Moonbeam (15), District 3 POV

I froze in my tracks as a cannon echoed loudly throughout the empty hallway. I looked around nervously, but I didn't see anyone. Another tribute just died. That meant seventeen of us were now dead. It was a depressing thought knowing that thirty more of us would all die as well. I didn't want to die. I didn't want to die in a place like this.

I started walking down the hallway again, and I thought about the cannon I had just heard. Who had just died? Were they killed by a tribute? Were they killed in an accident? Or were they killed by a muttation? I couldn't know for sure, but all that mattered was that someone was now dead. Dead is dead, and there's no coming back from that.

I continued walking down the scary empty hallway, and it was only getting darker. A couple of the candles on the walls had gone out, but a couple of them were still slightly burning. I kept thinking about the tributes. Who had died in the bloodbath? I hope no one from my District died. I liked Nova, Emile, and Surge, and if any one of them had died I would probably fall down into a spiraling depression. Even Sable was dead. It was really hard leaving her to die alone.

I saw a turn coming up in the hallway, and I wondered if I should go left or right. It didn't look like I could go straight since there was a wall there. I tightened my grip on my double-sided axe, and I walked more slowly towards the corner. I didn't know if there was going to be a tribute hiding behind the wall. I needed to be silent, and I needed to be sneaky.

I turned the corner quickly and looked to the left, but nothing was there. I turned around to look right, and a girl was standing right in front of me. I instantly screamed loudly, and accidentally fell backwards onto the ground. The girl looked around my age, and she had the same red colored hair as mine. Even her jackets were the same color, well, they were more of a mustard yellow color instead of a goldenrod yellow.

"Oh." the girl suddenly said. "Quick! Get up! I just saw the Careers enter a room back from where you came a while ago and they haven't come out yet. There's a chance they heard you scream, and they're going to come looking if we don't move." the girl suddenly held out her hand, and I instantly grabbed it. She pulled me from my feet, and I wiped some dust off of my dark olive colored cargo pants.

"Who are you?" I asked quietly.

"No time for questions." the girl said. "We need to move now unless you want the Careers finding us. Now, follow me!"

The girl started running down the hallway, and I took a moment before following her. After a while of running we reached the end of the hallway. There was a door to the left, a door to the right, and another door right in front of us.

The girl suddenly entered the room on the left, and she signaled for me to come in. I quickly entered the room, and the girl silently closed the door before locking it. I looked around and noticed we were in some sort of washroom. There was a big dusty mirror on the left wall, and a couple of cabinets and a sink were below it. A toilet sat to my right, and a rack of towels was hanging from the wall. There was even a large bathtub straight in front of us with a large black shower curtain.

"Get in the tub." the girl suddenly said.

"Wait, what?" I asked. "Why?"

"Just do it." she replied. "Unless you want the Careers finding us!"

"Okay." I finally agreed. "Okay."

I stepped into the bathtub, and I sat down near the front where the drain and faucet were. I watched as the girl turned a flashlight on, and then flicked the light switch off. Everything went dark, and the girl came into the bathtub with me. She quickly pulled the black shower curtain until it hid us completely. She then sat down next to me with the flashlight still illuminating our faces.

"Sorry about the confusion." the girl said in a whispered voice. "I just didn't want the Careers to find us is all."

"It's fine." I replied. "I don't want them to find us either."

"Yeah." the girl replied. "By the way, my name is Adeline. Or Addie for short."

"Nice to meet you Addie." I replied with a slight smile. "I'm Aurora."

"Nice to meet you as well Aurora." Addie said. "Allies?"

I was kind of stumped by her sudden question. "Wait, what?" I said quietly. "Allies?"

"Yeah." she replied. "It's always better to have friends in the Hunger Games. You'll get farther in the game, and if you do die at least you won't die alone."

"I guess that's true." I reply. "I guess it would be nice to have someone watch your back."

"Exactly." Addie said. "Plus you forgot to mention all the fun we will have!"

"I guess that's true." I replied slightly confused as I smiled and scratched the side of my head.

"Okay." she said. "Now it's time for the hard part. We need to be quiet for a while. At least until the Careers are done snooping around."

I nodded my head slightly, and Addie smiled at me. I noticed she had a backpack, and a small sword as well. This girl was actually quite odd, but she seemed nice and trustworthy enough. Maybe becoming allies with her wasn't such a bad idea. I took a deep breath, and then I held it when I heard footsteps and whispering outside the door. Addie turned her flashlight off, and we waited. After a minute the whispeing and footsteps disappeared, and I exhaled loudly. We were safe, for now.
