***Well I am actually going to try naming my chapters now! Tell me what you think of them guys!
DAY 2: REMAINING TRIBUTES= 15:
DISTRICT 1 PALACE:
Autumn Mistveil POV:
We had walked back to the palace in silence after Evan had died. Knowing that tonight his face will appear in the sky shinning down on us, of course I was saddened by the loss of a fellow career. But we all couldn't win anyways. I start to mentally go through my alliance in my head. Me, Prodigy, Bay, and Patch… There are only 4 careers left out of an original 6 person alliance. I look over at Bay as my bronze curls bounce, she was also now a sufferer of her district partner abandoning her. Oh well, he will die eventually. It is about 3:00 now and we have all been suffering from no longer having a strong alliance what it was supposed to have been. Ugh, we are supposed to be running this game not hiding from it…
"Are we staying here for the rest of the day?" Bay asks as her hair falls over her face as she looks at the ground. We were all in one of the bigger rooms in the palace and we seem to have made bass camp here. We all seem fairly comftorbale, there are enough beds and couches for all of us to sleep on and be comftorble.
"Yes probably, unless one of you wants to follow in the steps of Evan." Prodigy says to the group as he holds his spear closer to him looking at the door. We had barricaded it with chairs that we weren't using and made sure that we could still escape if nessacerray. I walk over to one of the dressers and open the drawers.
Empty.
Just like they had been when we first got here. I don't know why I keep doing it. I'm guessing it's to reassure myself that I will be home soon with dressers full of clothes.
"We are killing a tribute tomorrow no matter what." Patch says as he picks up his sword. Of course I am glad I recruited Patch into the Careers, but he is frightened sometimes. The way he slit the boy from 11's neck. It was like he was just trying to scare Lena away from us. And if she is scared away from us then we can't kill her.
"I don't understand why Tide ran from us when the mutts attacked. Maybe if he had stayed Evan would still be alive." I say to the group as I walk back towards them, stepping over the packs that we brought here from the cornucopia.
"It's because he was scared. He is only 13 and he doesn't belong here! None of us do!" Bay screams at me as her hands wrap around her whip, uncoiling it. Bay didn't look that strong, but she had gotten a fairly well score in the training center and she had also killed the boy Kelp in the Bloodbath. She had shown that she was worthy of being a career multiple times.
"He killed 2 people in the Bloodbath! Why should he be scared of that! What I think is that he abandoned us just like Terra." I say to her as I grab one of my dual swords and I storm off to the balcony. Looking for a place to vent. The cool air hits me and I zip up my hoodie.
I need to win these games. I need to go home. I want to kill.
I hear footsteps behind me and I wait for the words to be spoken.
"Lay off Bay a little, she is alone now basically. And we have to stick together if we want one of us to go home." Prodigy says as he leans against the balcony. The golden glow of the cornucopia compliments his complexion. Prodigy was once the boy I resented, from volunteering for Tristan. And now he is my closest ally in the games. If I lose him I probably will abandon the careers.
"God Prodigy, our alliance is terrible." I say as my hair whips around in the wind. I am now looking at the lush gardens bellow, where small animals dance between the bushes and trees. They are eating a small fruit, and it seems as if they aren't dying.
"We aren't that bad. I mean it's like we have to Districts right now. And we have each other!" Prodigy says as he looks around the arena, searching for any tributes to hunt down.
"You know that we can't both go home." I say to him as I watch him.
"I know but, I would rather be friends then be like Lena and Patch. Who want to kill each other constantly?"
"Hahaha ya, but we were a little like that in the beginning."
"Well at least we are friends now."
"Ya at least we are."
I look around and observe the arena. The coliseum casts a shadow almost twice as big as the actual thing. We are going to have to search that for tributes soon. The little city looks almost golden in the sunlight and it looks welcoming and heartwarming. Not cold blooded and death like. I would have liked to live in a place like this if the Hunger Games weren't around. Maybe if I win I can come back here and live here. I know that will never happen, the dead bodies of the tributes may leave but their souls will be trapped here forever…
DISTRICT 7 COLLUSEUM:
Renshaw Glade POV:
We had been in the Coliseum for quite some time before, the cannon had sounded in the middle of the night. We had waked up startled and grabbed our weapons in a fighting position. We were just glad the cannon didn't belong to any of us.
"Renshaw pass me some water." Lucinda says as she chops up a small fruit she had found on a tree outside the Coliseum. It was completely edible and, we had been eating it for the last 4 hours. There was also a small fountain which sprouted fresh water and it was actually pretty cold.
"Ya here you go." I say to her as I toss one of the three bottles of water that were attached to my pack. I see Mave sitting a few feet away from us and I frown at her. She knows that she and Lucinda had summoned the mutts, and we had all been betting on that the death was because of one.
"Mave come here!" I say to her over the winds. She looks over her brown hair fling like a fire that can't be quenched. She shakes her head and hugs her knees. I don't know why she is so shaken up; you have to kill in the Hunger Games even if it is indirectly.
"She will be fine." Lucinda says to me as she reaches out and touches my knee. I look up and her black hair falls against her pale skin. "We should rest, we can't stay awake forever." She says as I nod to her. Lucinda has been through way more than I had.
I lay down on the concrete blocks knowing that Mave, and Lucinda will have to die if I want to win. It has to be done.
"Renshaw! Renshaw!" I hear someone calling my name in a dream state. I open my eyes and the world is on fire, the 23 other tributes are there all on their podiums looking around. Except at the cornucopia instead of weapons are our loved ones. I see Rowan and his fiancé, I see a woman holding a little boy in her arms looking at Belladonna. Emerald, Maves friend is waving towards her, as Mave cries. An older woman sheds a few tears as she reaches out towards Kelp. A man and a woman hg as they see Autumn.
"Renshaw!" The voice screams again. I look around as I try to find the voice. The gong rings and everyone runs towards their family, Evan is the first one to reach his family his brother and sister embrace him in a hug, and that when the screams begin.
"HELP!" I hear Evan scream as his ginger haired sister bites him in the neck; His brother pulls out a knife and stabs him in the stomach. I look around to see Mave being clawed at y Emerald, Lucinda being ripped apart by her mother and brother. Rowan walks towards me and I start to run, Autumn and Lena have followed me but I see Autumns other rip her back. I and Lena keep running until we hit a wall.
"HELP!" Lena screams as her family dragged her back towards the Cornucopia. I close my eyes just as Rowan reaches me…
I wake up gasping for air and covered in sweat. Mave I perched over me holding one of hr axes. Lucinda is pouring cold water onto a rag and dabbing my face.
"Thanks…" I say as I think about the nightmare I just had.
"Are you okay?" Mave asks tenderly as she takes a step away from me. Mave, she was so strong in the beginning of the games, she helped Lucinda escape the Bloodbath. And now she was as fragile as a newborn child.
"Yea I am finding, just a bad dream." I say to her as I stand up and look out one of the arches and towards the Cornucopia. No family members.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Lucinda asks me as she stands hands me the rag.
"No." I say point out. I take the rag and wash my face.
"NO!" I hear Lucinda scream. I whip around to see Tide holding Mave by the neck with a dagger at her neck.
"Tide, please let her go." I say to him as I reach for one of my axes. I see Lucinda pull out her dagger and hold it out to Tide. Tide had gotten 2 kills in the Bloodbath; I did not want Mave to be his third.
"I know where the Careers are hiding I can help you guys if you let me. We can be a team." Tide says as he releases Mave and she runs towards me her face covered in tears.
"Okay you can join our alliance, you can't do anything like that anymore though, Okay?" I say as I hold Mave and put my axe in my belt.
"Okay I won't." Tide says as he gets out his pack and starts distributing his food evenly to all of us.
"I just want my dreams to come true." Mave says to me through her tears. Nightmares are dreams too…
***Well that's day 2 and its over. Next chapter will Have POV of Belladonna, Tide, Patch, and you guys can vote for some one in the comments below… SO no deaths, but Tide now joins the career pack #2. There will be a death next chapter just so you guys know. Don't want you to bail on me :P. I had a version of the story where Tide killed Mave, and then was killed by Lucinda. But Lucida recived a fatal wound which caused her to die, leaving Renshaw by himself. Would you guys have rather had tat version or did you like that the new ally was found?
Please Review.
