Moddi wasn't in the obituaries because I messed up. The votes changed at the last second, after I'd written her death in the Bloodbath. I took out her death POV but missed the part where Alinta mentioned her. It's a continuity error I can correct when I'm not lazy. In the meantime, Moddi survived the Bloodbath and Alinta saw Calista and Harmony die instead.

Alinta Fintan

Silver had her arms around me and she pressed my head to her chest while I scrunched in and cried. Moddi was circling around us as she looked over her shoulder and wrung her hands. I just saw something terrible. There was blood everywhere and people were killing people. I knew things were like this but now it was real. It wasn't like on the television where it was laid out neatly and then sad music played over a cannon. There was blood and cutting and people tried to crawl away as other people stuck swords in their backs. I thought the world was a beautiful place. I had just never seen it.

"The singing girl is dead," I said. She had such a pretty voice. I heard her sometimes in the night. One time I joined in, even though I'm a terrible singer. She let me sing along anyway. But she was dead, and the loud boy, and the pretty girl, and two others. At first me and Silver were separated from Moddi and I thought it was her. When she showed up a bit later carrying supplies, I grabbed her leg just to make sure she was real.

"It's okay," Silver said. It wasn't okay. Nothing was okay. She just wanted me to feel better, and I felt bad she was so worried. I pushed back and sat up like everything was normal. I wasn't sure I could talk without sounding like I was crying, so I lowered my voice a little.

"Yeah, it's okay. What did you find, Moddi?" I asked. She opened the bag and I thought of other kids running for supplies- other kids that didn't make it. I forced a smile as she unpacked our supplies, but Silver probably knew it was fake.

"I got a water bottle, a piece of plastic, a pocketknife, some salt packets, and a compass," Moddi said. She also had a thin silver sheet and a mirror she grabbed after the bag. I unwrapped the silver sheet and felt it crinkle as it fell open.

"Did you see the dinosaur?" I asked.

"Yeah, that was really cool," Silver said. I guess she didn't miss the giant dinosaur after all. "It was so tall."

"It was a nice one, too, even though I thought it was going to squish Gabriel," I said. We launched into conversation about the dinosaur so we didn't have to think about what had happened. It was a cool dinosaur, though. Sometimes the world is beautiful.

Ree Morning

Junie and I huddled in a thicket of ferns as we laid our supplies and discussed our strategy. Ever since the timer started we'd been constantly on red alert. In an Arena like this, we couldn't let our guard down for a second. The Capitol wouldn't make a dinosaur Arena without a ton of dinosaurs. The woods were probably crawling with them, and they'd want to see action right away. Once we got all our stuff packed back up, we would find a tree to climb to get away from all the biggest dinosaurs.

"We should find water before we climb," Junie said. The bottle she had picked up was full, but it wouldn't last forever. Other than that, all we had was a length of cord and some matches, not that we were going to make a fire anytime soon.

"It's really wet here. Maybe we can capture the dew. We won't have to leave the tree until we need food," I said. I hadn't thought about... restroom facilities during training, but I had to wonder what was going to happen if we were in a tree for a few days. But then, that was a pretty silly thing to be worried about.

Junie had just picked out a tree when we heard the undergrowth rustling. She leaped onto the first branch and practically pulled herself up the bark with her fingernails like a squirrel. I followed after and she pulled me up as we clawed up the tree until we were so high even the long-necked dinosaurs couldn't reach us. I was panting and my heart was pounding, but when I looked down, vertigo took over from terror and I almost fell. Junie peered down next to me and we watched the undergrowth as our pursuer emerged.

It was a green dinosaur about half again as tall as me. It had a super long tail and tiny little arms like a T. Rex. It bobbed through the grass like a duck and stopped near our tree. It bent over and ate a mouthful of grass. Junie burst out laughing.

"It's not even a meat eater," she said. I started laughing too and I almost fell out of our perch. "It just eats grass. We didn't have to be scared," I said. We held each other and the branch and laughed for a long time.

Victory Amarinthine

It was getting dark and we hadn't found anyone yet. We'd run across a herd of tiny two-legged dinosaurs, but they weren't even big enough to fight. We were all getting impatient, and Floki looked about ready to burst.

"Hey," Maris said. She pointed ahead of us, in front of Mary Ellen. We put her in the front after what she did to Ash. She wasn't out of the doghouse yet, but it was better to keep our enemies closer, and if a larger dinosaur attacked we'd be better in force. I looked where she was pointing and saw a girl plucking plants from a bunch of fuzzy ferns. We fell silent and started to stalk forward, but she saw us before long. She shrieked and ran, and then the chase was on.

But then, it was hardly a chase. I caught up with her quickly and lunged forward, snapping her Achilles' tendon with a slash. She collapsed and turned over, looking up at me as I bore down on her with my sword.

"Hold it," Mary Ellen said. She and the others gathered around the girl, who I recognized as the one from Three. "Sharing is caring."

"What?" I asked. That girl was getting stranger every day.

"She's your catch, of course, but how about letting us have a stab? I bet we can all get two turns in before she dies," Mary Ellen said. Maris looked at her uneasily, and I hesitated. What happened next would be crucial. Whichever of us looked the weakest would be the next to die. Mary Ellen was sadistic, but her words had thrown down a gauntlet.

"Why not?" I said, and I put on a wicked smile. The girl from Three whimpered, and I hoped we wouldn't all get a turn. I took my sword and slashed her across the cheek, knowing that facial wounds didn't have to be deep to bleed impressively. I looked Mary Ellen in the eye.

"Your turn. Try to restrain yourself," I sneered. She sneered back and smashed her axe into the girl's hip. It cracked like a baseball bat hitting a ball and it was wedged in her bone when she tried to pull it out. The girl screamed and clawed at the axe, and Mary Ellen kicked her in the face.

"You're up," she said to Maris. Maris avoided our eyes as she bent down and stuck a knife into the girl's ribs. She did it quickly and stood up sharply.

"It's all you," Mary Ellen said as she smirked at Floki. He looked at her with palpable contempt and swung his axe high over his head. He brought it down on the girl's neck and cut her head off.

"You ruined it," Mary Ellen pouted.

"Bastard coward," Floki said. He spat on the ground next to Mary Ellen's feet and glared at her with intensity I hadn't seen since his berserker rage. Mary Ellen actually growled when the spit hit the ground, and I broke in before a second Bloodbath started.

"We need to find the others before they get away," I said. We grouped up again, Mary Ellen standing to one side of our cluster as Floki glared at her back and Maris looked at the ground. In five minutes, I'd learned all I needed to know about my allies. We knew who the enemy was now.

Moddi Pex

My face was warm and sticky. It felt like everything below my neck was in a lion's jaws and he was shaking me like a doll. My nose was clogged with blood and shattered from Mary Ellen's kick.

Everything seemed distant after the Bloodbath. It seemed like there couldn't be any more death, that the Gamemakers would be satisfied with what they had. I thought me and Silver and Alinta could make a camp and wait until we could go home. When I saw the Careers, I remembered reality for a minute. I screamed so my allies could get away, and I wondered where they were.

When the girl kicked me, I knew she wasn't a girl at all. She was a demon. The others were scared of her, and they didn't stop her. When the tall boy above my head and I saw his axe, I knew an angel had come to stop her. He set me free and the pain was gone.

Silver Flower

What's happening? Why is it taking so long?

When Moddi screamed, I grabbed Alinta and we ran into a thick cluster of overgrown palm-like bushes. We burrowed inside and huddled in a hollow under a rock. I had intended to stash Alinta there and go help, but when I heard her screams and the girl laughing, I knew I was too late. All I could do was hold Alinta's hand and beg for the cannon to sound.

When it finally did, Alinta squeezed my hand so hard it hurt. I expected to see tears when I turned to her, but she was shaking with anger.

"I want them all to die," she said.

19th place: Moddi Pex- Killed by the Careers, ultimately Floki

Moddi was set to slowly go insane. She got voted to die early, so I put some into her death POV to make up for it. She was also supposed to die gruesomely, and I always take that as a sick challenge. Instead of demonizing Mary Ellen, I more wanted to emphasize peer pressure and what an upbringing in the Academy would do to person. I didn't think Moddi would go so early in a voting Games because she was nice and unassuming, but I think people picked up on her lack of skills and voted for her because of that. I liked her friendliness and how she wasn't a Three stereotype, so I'll miss her. Sorry she died early again, ItsaCatsWorld. I'm just happy she made it past the Bloodbath, because I've killed so many of yours in Bloodbaths and this time it wouldn't even have been my idea.

If you want a certain dinosaur in the Games, send it in. EVERY dino I get will make an appearance (so please don't send in 500). The first one was a Leallynasaura. Since it was a herbivore, it didn't do much damage

One more thing: It's good to repost your votes every chapter so I know they haven't changed. If they're the same anyway, you can just say as much in a review since they'll be unknown to everyone else.
