Ack! Writers block sucks! But I watched a Liam Neeson movie and now I'm all better (if you haven't picked it up I love Liam Neeson) Hehe I listen to 20 minute interviews with him talking while I write sometimes! Well anyways time for what you've ALL been waiting for, the return of the GEM's! Malfunctions are all nice and gone XD. Lol, in other news I just got back from cooking and the little kids found where I hid the knives... O_O


READ THIS IT'S IMPORTANT

I've been reading some of your GEM forms and some of you are putting girls with girls, for example (I'm not singling this form out) Santana Madison and Quinn, your tribute will be with a BOY GEM if they are a GIRL TRIBUTE. And GIRL GEM'S will be with BOY TRIBUTES. I kept the GEM forms and just changed them to girls if it was wrong or boys if it was wrong, then made some tweeks to make them more feminine or masculine if you want to make a new one just PM me! :) heart you all!


Dr. Esmeralda Martinez's POV

Finally, the bug that was released into my GEM's are gone, we once again have full control of these gorgeous creatures. It must be those stupid Mockingjay's again, trying to ruin all our projects. They were on the fritz, crazy really. And something awful happened, their former selves came back, we were able to control it slightly but, they now have personalities. Not all of our beautiful GEM's are fully developed... But soon they'll be healthy, but for now, the ratings for the Games are down. So Relms, the director, is making us put the most stable ones in.


Welcome To Mystery

"Ouch... Where am I?" Santana growled and brushes herself off.

"Talk about ouch..." Valerie responds, her hands are still bound and Santana glares at her. They both get up in a dark room, almost black. Valerie searches her mind for what happened last, she'd been sleeping...

Two figures stepped out of the dark, both boys, and both in their teens. Valerie and Santana stare curiously at each one, their pupils are a slivery color, but it's not ugly, it's beautiful.

"Ouff... God damn..." someone breathes, the two girls whirl around to see Alexi, rubbing his head, back flat on the ground.

"Alexi!" Valerie exclaims and runs to his side. Rolling her eyes, Santana looks closely around the room.

A girl steps out of the dark, looking straight at Alexi.

"Arggg... What the hell..." Bubble mutters as she falls from the blacked out ceiling onto the dark stone floor.

"Ouch..." Kellen snaps as he tumbles from the ceiling, slowly tributes accumulate until the dark room is filled, half with strangers, half with tributes. All chatting quietly in small groups, no one's in the mood to fight, only to figure out what the hell is going on. Crimson hits the floor with a thud, angrily she pounds the ground out of confusion.

"Tributes. Welcome. These are your GEM's, you will now return to where you last were in the same state, along with your GEM, that is all." a voice says, then every tribute in the room blacks out.

(Submit more GEM forms you guys, poor other tributes... For this chap, mostly tributes who got GEMS will have POV's, and so will BeeBee Gallagher because she's freaking never got one and I feel like a jerk... Some others haven't gotten one either, but she hasn't even been mentioned!)


Beebee Gallagher

I'm hungry... Wait no, that's a lie, I'm starving... By the time Kartney and I found Olive's dead body floating in the water, the tributes who killed her must have waited for us to leave camp then stolen all our food, and supplies. Now we're absolutely hopeless, we don't have water, because the chance of going down to the stream to get some and not being shot is nil, food was stolen and we can't hunt cause we're weaponless.

Together Kartney and I wait like sitting ducks, sitting with fear struck into our hearts, wondering when someones gonna find us and kill us. I've given up hope, I'm just a average girl, and so is Kartney, well except for the girl piece.

"I think it's safe to say, we'll be dead by sunrise," Kartney mutters, his voice sounds off, probably cause we haven't had a drop of water for 3 days, I tried going down to the stream once, but I saw some girl getting water, and damn she looked tough. I think that was the girl who was in some weird Sword Group thing, but I'm not so sure, it could have been Sheep Girl.

As Kartney and I lay in the grass, staring hopelessly at the ever present sky with the light breezing kissing our faces, I wonder about Dad, does he miss me? Is he crying? I think to my dogs, and wonder if he's walking them. No... No I have to make it, I can't let my Dad down, never have I and never will I, now's the time to fight for life, not wait for my own death. I stand up suddenly, and wrench Kartney to his feet.

"We're gonna go get some freaking water, or so help me I will do it by myself!" I shout, he nods, a little dumbstruck by my sudden courage. Together, we start heading for the bank where the crystal clear stream runs, once I can hear the water rushing, I take cover for the rock where I spied on the girl drinking water. Kartney follows silently behind me, but his foot slips on some gravel and the tree hovering above us sweeps him up. I push my scream down, and realize there was a net trap, oh shit.

"Oh god... Kartney what do I do?" I yelp, trying to break the ropes that bind the trap but the string is brittle and strong.

"I... I don't know... Bee I think we're done for anyway, maybe if you just got me some water..." he chokes out, and I see his eyes glaze over a bit. I wait for the cannon but it doesn't fire, good.

I know that if I wait here with Kartney we're both dead, but maybe... If I brought him some water, then stole something from the other girls camp, maybe I'd be able to cut him down. The thought of stealing something to eat crosses my mind briefly but I brush away the idea.

Quietly I follow the river down to where I remember seeing the girl walk back, then suddenly I hear quiet whispers coming from somewhere, I quickly peer around the tree that's in front of me, and see three girls sitting together, they're telling stories or something I think, I can't really tell, all I know is that it's Sheep Girl, Sword Girl, and Crazy Girl, I don't wanna think of their names, cause if I do, I might not be able to fight them if they attack me.

I slink over to where their supplies are sitting in a heap, but I can make out the traps surrounding it, but there is a loose dagger and a pack sitting there, farther away from the other items... Maybe if I reach a little... My heart pounds hard and quick against my chest as I check where the girls are, all of them are facing away but the fear of one of them turning around creeps into me.

I reach... Just a little farther... Suddenly my fingertips meet the pack and the dagger, swiftly pulling it my way, I run the other direction as fast as I can, I did it, oh my freaking god, I just did something! As I sprint I see where Kartney is still stuck, barely breathing, I slice the ropes with ease, I could do this, I can do this, I will win the Hunger Games, no matter what.


Bubbles Agua

Stupid GEM. I don't want another one, once I woke back up I found Kellen shaking me uncontrollably, saying something about how there was some guy here, and a girl, and that they were GEMS.

As we trudged through the thick forest, I look back at Andy, my GEM, he looks about ten, and hasn't spoken since he joined us, Kellen's GEM, Valentine, is sweet and a little too outgoing, I'm a bit wary of all these man made things, they seem to robotic, maybe even to realistic, if that makes any sense...

Cleo won't freaking stop "accidentally" kicking dirt and sand into my shoes. At least Neptune and Kellen are pretty caring, Neptune's GEM Tess is a bit off to me, she kinda creeps me out sometimes, well whatever.

"Oh F...innik," Neptune breathes, sketchily covering up what he was gonna say.

"What?" I ask and sprint up the hill towards him.

We're all looking onto a beautiful beach, the white sand glimmers in the sunlight and the waves crash peacefully against the rocks. My heart flutters as I remember how Coral and I were always so excited when our Mum took us down to the beach, oh gosh... I feel tears well up in my eyes and I try to brush them away but I can't oh Coral...

I quietly turn my back to the group, I feel a hand latch onto mine and I turn to see Neptune, holding it lightly, he smiles at me and then gives me a tug towards the beach, I blink a couple times then tumble onto the beach with him, giggles consume my throat and I can't stop laughing, jeez I'm so happy. I crash into the sand and roll around a time or two, just feeling the way the sun warmed it up perfectly, not to hot, but just perfect.

Three hours later we're all set up for camp, we actually have a real tent, we've laid traps all around us. Kellen found a little rocky area where we could camp out, after Neptune and I begged the rest of them to let us camp on the beach.

"Bubbles?" Cleo asks from behind me, I pull myself away from the fire and walk over to her.

"Yep?" I say, trying to resist the urge to rip her hair out.

"I... I'm sorry for being so rude to you before... I was just annoyed that I even had to be here..." she mutters, then offers a seashell filled with clear water.

"It... It's ocean water, I thought we could toast to our friendship or something... If you forgive me," she says, I look at her, and then smile. She smiles back and produces a seashell of her own.

"To friendship!" I giggle, then she laughs.

"To friendship," she says and we both drink. Cleo helps me turn the meat, which was a parrot, around the fire on a stick, she tells me stories about her childhood, and about her dad Gale, and Kellen's Mum, Katniss.

"And then, he saved her!" she says, we both laugh and I think I can actually be friends with this girl.


Cleo Hawthorne (The first half of this is written by Ducky Momo!)

I'm so pissed at Kellen right now! First he agrees to team up with that bubbly air head, and then he gets a pet wolf? In the The Hunger Games? And he knows about my fear, Tears swell up in my eyes but I quickly shake them away. Huh, I guess this is where that Bubbles girl is coming from. Maybe I can resent her a little less now. "Does he really have to go again?" Neptune says shaking his at the thing as it, marks it's territory on a tree. It's a dog, dogs pee what do you expect?" Kellen says defending the creature. I remain silent, refusing to talk to him. Neptune starts to debate but Bubbly cuts in. "Really guys? Just drop it. This is not the thing we should be arguing about!" Kellen grumbles about dogs being dogs or something so I suggest making camp. It's starting to get dark anyways. The trees give us secluded area and with are new "watch dog" nothing can go wrong! Right? WRONG! "Finally you suggest something good!" Bubbles says collapsing on the ground.
"Yeah, well we all need a rest, Bea!" I say hoping the name tick her off. "Your completely right! So why don't you take first watch? With Apollo" She says. Smirking "Alright I will get to bed everyone!" I say leaving Bea open mouthed. After everyone's settled and sound asleep. I arrange my bow for shooting. Apollo is looking at me with his big golden eyes. "What are you looking at?" I tell him having half the mind to shoot him. (Vampie's writing starts now thanks Ducky!).

The next day, that Neptune kid finds a beach. Bea get's all teary eyed, probably about how bad she must look in a swimsuit, heh... Then the two of them sprint down into the sand, laughing like idiots. The GEMS look confused then follow Neptune and Bubbly onto the beach, Kellen lets Apollo run and the stupid animal bounds onto the sand, slobbering everywhere, god I hate that thing.

Kellen smiles a little then runs after everyone else, smiling. I grow to myself and sulkily walk onto the hot sand, while Bubbly acts like a freaking wolf rolling around on the ground.

"Can we camp here you guys?" Bubbly asks after she's recovered from her crazies, or at least isn't as crazy.

"Yeah, that sounds fun," Valentine, Kellen's GEM says.

"That sounds cool," Neptune agrees, smiling.

"No, it's too dangerous!" I protest frowning.

I look to Kellen frantically, praying for his support on this one, and not siding with that air head.

"Okay, it's just as dangerous as being in the forest," he says, and I'm stricken, how. Could. He. We're best friends, I'm here for HIM, I came because of HIM, this is HIS fault, how could he?

I watch hopelessly as the other stupid Capitol Made freaks agree and I want to kill them all, not Kellen, but Bubbles, that stupid wolf, and all the GEMS. Then the thought occurs again, maybe I can...

While everyone else is setting up camp I volunteer to go hunt, I sprint quickly behind a rock and pull out my quiver, the red arrows glisten at me, okay good. Then I split the arrow head on one, my hands are sore from the work, but it's worth it.

A thick green mesh slides out, I catch it from falling then plop it in a seashell, smiling, I quickly pour water from my canteen over it and the poison begins to loose color.

In Science class Mr. Richards, my teacher, told us about this stuff, it's usually put into Hunger Games arrows, poison that realeases when the arrow hits your skin, and I was lucky enough to have a Hunger Games fanatic as my teacher. It makes some people hallucinate, but mostly kills people.

I mix it quickly, and the green becomes a clear color, it even makes the water look shiny. I place that one down, remembering the pink seashell is the poisonous one, then I dig around in the sand and come up with a white shell, I pour water into it. Perfect, that Bubbly girl is going down, but first, I wanna get rid of these stupid GEMS.

This time I mix the goop in with some bread, they won't have any idea that I did this. Ha, stupid bubbly air head, stupid GEMS but now it doesn't matter.


Kyla Sprit (half of this was written by someone who didn't want to be named)

The morning light breaks through the tree's above me. It must be dawn, and I haven't slept once. Not until I know my baby brother is okay.

"Oh, Bentley," I mumble under my breath, just hoping that he can hear my words.

I hate that girl Abigail. She took my brother from me, and she doesn't deserve him; He's mine! I'm the one that keeps him safe! I'm the one that looks after him! I'm the only one that truly loves him! Why can't he be mine?

So, now I sit here, about 100 feet off the ground, in a tree that looks over my enemies camp.

I awoke this morning to Abigail yelling Santana's name. Glancing down at the alliance, I saw William snuggling up to Santana, before she left him to go to Abigail. I think they have a "thing" going on.

"Something's wrong with Bentley," Abigail wines.

"What makes you think I care. That baby should be dead by now, along with his sister," I snap to by best friend.

"He's only a baby! He shouldn't be here! He should be home! It's not his fault that he is here! Besides, how would you feel if you lost me? I know I'm only your friend, but I'm practically family."

This gets to Santana. Bad. Her look of disgust changes to sorrow. Looking at the small boy laying on the forest ground, she sighs. Abigail got to her.

"Fine. What should we do?" Santana questions.

"I think he has a fever. His head is burning up, and he is keep saying one thing. Over and over again."

"What is he saying?"

"Ky-Ky-Ky," Abigail says in a childish voice.

Kyla.

Me. He wants me! Not Abigail! Ohh, Bentley! I'm coming honey! Please, just hang in there. I need sponsors. He can't die. I would put the world on me to save him. I will die if it means he lives through these games. Actually, he would be the youngest victor in the country of Panem, being only 2 years old.

Sorrow covers me, when I realize I can't help him. It's only me, and this wound on my shoulder is burning. I think it's infected.

"This would be a good time for sponsors!" I mumble under my breath, looking to the sky for help.

Out of nowhere, a silver package falls to the branch I'm sitting in. Delicately, I open the small package. Unwrapping the silver paper, I find medicine.

"Ohh, God, thank you" I say grasping the medicine to my chest, like I'm holding Bentley back home. Hopefully, this will help my shoulder heal faster. A faster way to get to Bentley.

In relief, I take a closer scan to the bottle of medicine. It's cream.

For headaches, and fevers.

Fear surges through my veins as I realize what to do.

It will take all I got, but I will save you, Bentley. Tonight. When darkness hits, I will save you from those bad people. I will help you. Your big sister is coming, Bentley. (Vampie's writing starts now, thanks anonymous source)

I wait breathlessly in the trees, Gia ended up saving my life you know? After I'd woken up, Athena explained to me I went into a blackout because I was dehydrated and starving, but now I've eaten and I will get my brother back.

As darkness settles in, I see something really weird, now that these GEMS are here, it's been awkward not knowing someones face, but that's not it, William drags a girl out of a cave, oh jeez, is that Valerie? She's all bound up and blood is dripping from her face, cuts, bruises, wow... I watch as she is pushed towards the ground and William slaps her across the face, the noise of palm on skin echoes through the woods.

"You could have killed her you know!" he screams at her. She stares at him, even though she's gagged and can't speak, I can read her eyes, she laughs at him and how weak he is to break easily.

William rips the gag out of her mouth and she coughs a couple times then brings her attention back to him.

"Like I care," she says with a smirk and gets a punch to the face, she reels a little but the straightens up and tips her head to one side, a smile playing on her bloody lips. What's she doing? She could get killed...

"You better care, I felt bad for you! But kicking over a pot and setting fire to Santana's leg makes me think twice!" he snarls then pulls her up into the air by the collar of her shirt, so their eye to eye.

"Think about it Will, I'm bound up and gagged what won't I do to get out of here?" she snaps, then looks him straight in the eye, fear wiped from her face.

William stops for a second, and looks at her, studying her flawless face.

"I... It doesn't matter!" he growls, then takes the rope that's bound around her neck and ties it to a tree, swiftly then tying her arms around the back of the tree and her ankles together.

"Bye Valerie," he huffs and walks back into the cave, leaving her coughing up blood.

The dark of night falls closer in and the forest is swept with cool blackness, I swing down from my tree falling right next to Valerie.

"'Bout time you got down from there, by the way, next time you cry over your brother, don't cry on my head," she says, smirking at me, I take a step back surprised.

"How did you..." I begin.

"Look kid, I'm pretty damn tough, and I have pretty damn good hearing, I don't think William saw you though," she says, then turns away from me coughing up someone blood.

I look down at the canteen that's bound around my waist, I untie it and offer it to her, she smiles and accepts, quickly drinking down some of the water.

"Thanks. There's a back entrance to the cave around the left side, Santana put a net trap there, so cut the string you see on the ground in half before you go in, Bently's in the back corner where Abigail is, be careful okay?" she says, then leans back against the tree with a sigh.

"Do... Do you want something to eat?" I ask she shakes her head then gives me a toothy grin.

"Course not, I can't take your food, your younger then me," she states I frown, why doesn't she want something? I bet they don't feed her or anything, knowing that Santana girl.

"Heh, don't worry, that Abi girl is nice, she gives me food every night, if you don't have to, don't kill her, she's got a good heart even though her heads filled with air," Valerie says, then smiles.

"Go,"

"Abiee, Abiee, Ky, Ky!" I hear Bently call and my heart stops.

I run to the back cave entrance Valerie was talking about and peer in through the wall, there's Abigail, holding Bently gently and rocking him back and forth, cooing sweet words to him.

W-what? He, he likes that idiot? I pull my bow and arrow to give her a shot to the head, until something makes me freeze. Hunter walks over to Abi and snatches the baby from her, Abi lets out a cry and pounds on his back.

"No! You can't have him you jerk!" she screams but Hunter pulls a dagger out of his bag, it glints in the light and I hold down with all my might a scream. Tears pour from Abigail's eyes as she begs him not to stab my littler brother.

"Your so stupid, he eats our food, he drinks our water, and doesn't do shit!" Hunter says, now Abi is calling for Santana who must be outside. I pull my bow up and let the arrow fly. It hits Hunter in the back and he tumbles to the ground, falling right on top of Bently. Abi runs over and tries helplessly to wrench him off, but she's too weak.

"No! Adam!" she screeches and gives Hunter a good kick and he rolls off Bently, Abigail snatches him up and holds him while he cries. Santana comes running in and my chance is lost.


Sorry guys! I had to cut this short! D: I know I know I'll make a longer one later... By the way, never try to teach little kids how to cook, they have a certain knack for finding the knife drawer...
