A/N: Okay, so this is the second part of the bloodbath. More deaths, sorry for the creators of the characters who die.
Kai Brookshore's POV (4):
In a matter of minutes that thief, Nicky, from district 1 has took down two of my team-mates. Not that I care. What can I say about Fleur and Luke? Fleur didn't do well enough in training and Luke was a mummy's boy. Maybe losing them was for the best. On the other hand I am quite happy with who I've got left, and I think it's about time I began to be a part of this battle. I pick up the spear I picked up earlier from the bloodbath and walk, almost casually, into the battle.
"Kai Brookshore, huh?" I hear a girl's voice say and my head turns towards Joanie Greenwood as she pushes Alyssa to the floor and strides over to me. Faster than I expected the girl pounces on top of me clawing away at my face with some type of device which is attached to her hand. Even faster though, I shove her off and she lands with a thud on the floor.
"Bitch, you think you can beat me," I say slowly walking over to her as she stands up. I grip onto the spear tighter and tighter before driving it where her head is but she quickly ducks and it just sticks into the unnecessary bun in her hair. A little squeal releases itself from her lips and she quickly purses them shut before thriving unnaturally at her hair.
"Let me go!" she screams.
"You do realize this is the Hunger Games?" I say laughing slightly but she doesn't respond and all I hear is the battles going on around me. "Well then, I guess is the end for you, Joanie," I sigh jokingly before lifting her and the spear up higher and swinging it other my head. My muscles sigh in relief as the heavy weight is flung out of my arms and I hear a distant crack. I don't bother to turn around and only assume that the little bitch is dead.
"Kai," I hear Alyssa's voice say quietly and see her on all fours near the wall. "There's no-one there for me to fight."
"Then make yourself useful, take this," I say pausing to throw a little bag that was in the Cornucopia at her, "and collect as much stuff as you can," and with that the girl scrambles off picking up glass ornaments and slying past the battle that's on going. Maybe she's sly but the girl is quite useless when it come to battle. I saw her fighting Joanie, she doesn't stand a chance.
"Who wants to fight me now?" I pronounce and most of the people fighting look at me. "Come on, anybody. Look at Joanie over there, look at her blood spilling on the floor. Don't you want to avenge her death. Kill me. Come on, I dare you."
Without warning a knife comes flying towards me and Riley Stevens steps out pushing Vika aside who grunts unsatisfactorily.
"I'll fight you."
"A worthy opponent I assume," I say bowing but flicking a knife at him while doing so. He deflects it with his axe before walking closer and getting into a running pace. In a few seconds he drives the axe towards my bent forward neck but in a quick roll he drives it against the marble floor sending an eerie echo throughout the building. It seems that is the cue to carry on fighting as I see Nicky lunge towards Cavail and Vika begin to head towards Ruby.
I push the boy quickly onto the floor but he rebounds back up and hits me across the face with a strong fist. I regain composure quick enough and kick him in the side of the ribs before slashing his bare arm with a knife. He grits his teeth and aims to punch me in the face again but only manages to hit my thigh. I take my opportunity and quickly slam him onto the floor, placing my body on top of him he becomes defenceless and he just sits there while I repeatedly trace the knife round his stupid face.
"Why so quiet, Riley?" I tease.
"Piss off," he says trying to move his face away but I only jerk it back. In a quick movement I dig the knife into the soft skin of his cheek and make a short slash until the knife hits his ear.
"Sorry," I say driving it back to it's original position as he tries to hide the tears. What happens next shocks me to say the least. Because in one swift movement I see a spear drive right into Riley's throat and to my utmost disgust, it isn't my spear.
"Have some mercy, you dick," I hear a voice say as the spear slashes me across the face. I only have time to crawl off Riley's lifeless body as the figure of Lars Staal, from district 3 runs off with the bloody spear in his hand. I think I've made myself a new enemy.
Isabelle Rayner's POV (5):
"We just need to find a room, I know I saw some when I came out the lift," I say beginning to walk down different corridors and avoiding going up flights of stairs. For all I know, there might be someone up there, waiting, waiting to kill me and Steen.
"I didn't see one," is all he says so the two of us continue walking, trying to keep quiet while peering round different corners looking for rooms.
"This is bigger than any hotel I've ever been in," Steen sighs.
"Since when have you been in a hotel?"
"I haven't."
"Then shut up, you twit."
"Hey, why so snappy?"
"Because we need to find a room," I say turning to face him, "we'll only end up getting ourselves killed if we just wander around the hallways the entire time, there's bound to be a tribute near us."
"I can kill them," he says encouragingly but being quite scared I can't help but snap back.
"With what? You haven't got a weapon."
"Yes I do."
"The bo staff isn't a weapon..."
"Then why did they put it in the Cornucopia especially for me?" he asks quite defensively.
"Because you practically begged them to after training," I say recalling the exact moment. "Face it, it's not going to help you in here."
"Yes it will, I can hit someone over the head with it," he says but instead of carrying on such a stupid conversation I begin to walk further down the corridor until I see it, a room. With the number one thousand eight hundred and seventy six on. Heaven only knows how many rooms are in this stupid hotel. We're only on the first floor!
"Should we go in it?" Steen asks quietly peering towards the crimson coloured door. I nod my head and begin to walk towards it, holding my hand out until I can clutch onto the door handle. "There won't be anyone in, will there?" he says just as I touch the handle.
I pause before answering. "No, why would there be. The bloodbath is still ongoing, no-one will have gotten this far yet," and to stop myself from worrying any longer I push open the door and step into the room.
Sunlight pours through a window to high up for either of us to see through and the only object in the room is a wardrobe.
"Stand on my shoulders," Steen says bending his legs down for me to climb on. He places the bo staff underneath his feet as I clamber myself onto my shoulders and in a drunkish walk he makes his way other to where the window is. I peer my eyes out of the window but only fall off Steen's shoulders because of the blinding light.
"What did you see?" he asks not even bothering to help me up.
"Light," I pause, "just light."
"Oh, okay. Do you want to find another room?" he asks.
"We haven't even looked inside the wardrobe yet" I say wandering over and quickly pulling it open. But once again there is nothing.
"Nothing?" he asks cockily.
"Let's go..." I say my face turning to the floor in shame.
"Oh, no-one is going anywhere," a voice says that quickly makes me look up. A shadow appears in the doorway but the person is yet to be discovered.
"Who's that?" I ask backing away towards the wardrobe.
"Come in," Steen says stupidly. The door suddenly slams shut and the figure appears in the door swinging a small sword around their head. I hold back a scream and run towards Steen who has now picked up his stupid bo staff and is holding it out in front of him.
"An amazing weapon you've got there," the person, who I can't see the face of because of a mask, says sarcastically.
"It's a great weapon, actually. It beats your sword anyday," Steen says really quite defensively.
"Are you being serious?" he retorts.
"Yeah, let's fight," I say angrily, pushing Steen forward. Instead of arguing about being in the fight Steen lunges straight forward swinging his bo staff at the stranger. The stranger ducks though and swings his foot out, missing by afar. Steen quickly jumps back in hitting the boy with the bo staff. The boy does nothing though and instead throws the sword towards Steen, Steen has surprisingly good dodging skills though and the sword ends up crashing into the blank wall.
"Okay, I think you need to calm down and leave," Steen says pointing his bo staff towards the door.
"No, I'm going to fight you," the boy says angrily.
"I'm giving you the opportunity to save your life, now go!" Steen yells.
"I'm not a coward," is all the boy says before running out of the room. I'm about to say something along the lines of 'you should have killed him', when I here a scream and my feet are soon making their way out of the room.
My eyes look down the narrow corridor as I see Harabel Lucsley sprinting down a belt of knives wrapped around her waist. One knife embedded in the skull of the boy just fighting Steen.
"Do you want to see who it is?" Steen says.
I don't bother answering his question but only walk over and kneel down next to the boy. No breaths come out of his mouth, just silence. I pull the mask off his bloodied face gently and the boy from district 10, Harence, looks back at me, open eyed but dead all the same. To think, I was about to tell Steen off for not killing him. How am I going to survive in this game?
Collin Etheren's POV (8):
Some might just run down this corridor. Maybe. And put there foot right where that electronic trap is. Maybe. I lean forward slightly to peep around the corner at the ongoing action of the bloodbath. By now most tributes have ran down different corridors or went up staircases but I can see the career packs still fighting. Ever since that boy from three came in and killed Riley things have been a bit quieter. The girl from two still left, Vika, has resorted to finding some more things in the Cornucopia after her opposition Ruby ran away up a flight of stairs leaving just the boy from 1 left, Nicky. He's done well to fend off the ongoing attacks from Cavail and Kai but I guess it might only be a matter of time before he dies, also.
I continue to switch my vision between the fight and my trap. For the next ten minutes or so nothing seems to happen and I begin to get cramp in my legs. I slowly stand up hoping no-one hears my knees cracking and I begin to edge myself around the corner. I lift the small knife I managed to collect up to my chest and roll along the floor behind a plant. If my trap doesn't manage to get anybody I can always have a go at throwing my knife.
Suddenly the two little girls from nine begin to run past but something stops me throwing my knife. My heart. I can't kill them, they're so young. One is only seven. I look about for the strange boy from district four to be with them and find him standing on the other side of the room waiting.
I hear a sudden scream from the Cornucopia and any attention I had on Chris is diverted to the scene where Cavail is lying on the floor clutching a bloody ankle. Kai's attention is also diverted from Nicky who sprints off while he still has the chance.
"Coward," Kai screams after realizing Nicky has dashed off somewhere. Unfortunately that somewhere isn't anywhere near my trap so instead I just carrying on watching the careers, Alyssa, Vika, Cavail and Kai, who begin to gather all of there supplies into eight backpacks (two for each of them). They trek away up some stairs and for the first time since the games began, all is quiet. I roll over on the marble floor once again and begin to crawl towards the uninhabited Cornucopia. I pick up a dropped knife, some iodine, rope and a sheet of plastic before making my way towards the stairs.
"Help me!" I suddenly hear someone scream and instead of noticing they were pleeing for help I grip onto my knife harder and run towards the voice.
"Please, anyone," the voice screams, a boy's voice. I begin to sprint towards the voice and realize they must be stuck in my trap. I run round the corner and see the wimpy boy from district 6 his foot right in my trap. My eyes shoot to the lever that is heading up to ten, as soon as it hits twelve a bolt of electricity will shoot through him. He turns towards me and his eyes plead for me to let him out.
"Please," he says holding out his hand.
"I couldn't find anyone, Apollo," I suddenly hear a little girl's voice and the tiny girl from district 12 who's brother also is in these games, but was killed earlier, runs round a corner. Her eyes suddenly lift up to me and something I can only describe as fright appears across her face.
Apollo looks to me and smiles a little.
"Sae, you go with this nice boy here, I'll be okay," he says as the lever lifts up to eleven. Sae smiles a little at me and something inside of me makes me smile back. What is with me? I'm never going to be able to win this, I've already let two little ones live and now I can tell this will be a third.
"Come on," I croak, holding out my hand.
"Is Apollo going to die? Like Merriet did," she croaks following me round the corner after taking one last look at sweet Apollo.
"I don't know," I manage to whisper as I hear a piercing scream and the cannons begin. The bloodbath is over.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
A/N: Okay, so that is the bloodbath officially over. I hope youo liked the choice of POV's ect. And there is now only twenty four tributes left in the games. Okay and now a little on the deaths.
Joanie: She kind of slipped away after the first chapter which was her reaping and I just felt I could do more with other characters that are still alive.
Riley: Same for him really and I wanted to eliminate some district 1 tributes also to show ruthless Kai, but it was Lars that killed him.
Harence: Well he was one of two characters that the creator said I could kill in the bloodbath and since as a writer I didn't really connect with him, he was killed by awesome Harabel.
Apollo: The last death of the bloodbath. He wasn't good enough to be honest. But I wanted him to have a tiny alliance with Sae who's brother died before him dieing.
Okay, so information on standings, alliances etc. is on my profile. And please leave a review for me.
