Day 7! And only 10 remain! We are getting closer and closer to the end by each day, so keep reading!
Elle Spruce- 15- District 7
Star and I sit around in the meadow. This meadow does have nice flowers and such, so it is not a bad place.
I realized that these games have been better ever since I allied with Star, and got sponsor gifts on Day 3.
They got worse for Star on Day 5 though... even with him kind of being mean to me, I still miss Galen... if I did not feel sad, would I be human? Not really.
We both hear sonars beeping... sponsors!
We see two parachutes in the air.
One is marked with a 7, and the other a 10. I smile at this.
Well, the seven anyway...
We look to see what we got.
"YES!" screams Star... happily?
I am confused... a packet of meat... I have that also.
"A new weapon!" she says, squealing.
"Meat?" I ask.
"Yes!" she says. "Of course!"
"I fought both Fireopal and Corbel because Galen... Galen." she says before choking on her words and looking down.
"Sorry..." she mutters, a tear escaping her eyes.
I give her a hug.
Ceres Amaranth- 16- District 9
I walk towards the cornucopia silently.
My jar of flammable liquid is driving me crazy in anticipation.
I see no careers at the cornucopia... are they just saying 'fuck it' and leaving the cornucopia unguarded? I hear howling of more wolves... they were chased off by mutts... they want me to pull my plan off! I pour the liquid on all of their supplies. I grab my matches... I grab a few stuff first... by a few, I mean A LOT!
I grabbed 8 bags, the largest, before I poured it... I somehow get all of them on me, which is stressful.
I throw a lit match on the liquid, and all of the career's supplies are now burning up in flames, and I start to run away.
I run far away, but I put a note on a crate I taped to a tree though.
It says this.
'Corbel decided to kill Nova. He told me after she died on Day 4. We were fighting, and he said he cannot wait to torture me like Nova. Beware. Remember the blood stained all over him? Nova. I went to the capitol for a day due to some weird tree in the arena, it is cool! '
I know, it is a bit stupid to help careers... but eh. Corbel would die.
Once I am far away enough, I check the bags... what I have in total:
70 more matches.
16 bags of apples.
100 throwing knives.
5 packets of meat.
2 twin hatchets.
2 twin kukri knives.
Another jar of flammable liquid.
40 cheese squares.
A packet of gum... why?
Capitol cookies. 20 of them.
12 canteens of water. 13 water bottles.
15 arrows Fireopal did not find, and a crossbow... did he not see this?
Poison medicine. I do not need it right now, but who knows?
Pain killers.
6 packets of beef jerky.
That is what everything in those 13 bags total had... I am pretty much set for food and water, and now I have a bunch of weapons... a crossbow with a lot of arrows.
I think I could win this.
Fireopal Smith- 18- District 1
The mutts are gone now, but I scream.
Not from any pain. But from rage.
OUR SUPPLIES ARE ON FIRE!
I roar, angrily! Lucy lured me away so our supplies would get destroyed! ARGH!
"WHAT THE-" I yell, before seething... I was already, but now I cannot talk.
"WHAT THE HELL!" screams Clara.
I see that she has a note in her hands.
I read it.
I growl, and we point to Corbel.
"What happened to Nova?" Clara yells.
"Hope killed her, duh." Corbel says, rolling his eyes.
"Look at this note." I say, throwing it at him.
"CERES!" he yells.
Corbel Hearth- 18- District 2
That was the breaking point for us.
When the match hit that liquid, it was all over. I knew Ceres did this... who else knew about that!
I accidentally yelled angrily at Ceres... stupid move by me.
I knew this alliance was going to end soon either way, so I am not that mad.
I easily evade them quickly it was simple, I cut a tree and it blocked them long enough for me to escape... Clara has body armor, Fireopal has a few arrows... ya.
"Oh well." I say out loud. "Guess I am alone."
Star Ray- 14- District 10
This may sound weird...
Ok.
It does sound weird... I love this packet of meat.
It is like a friend. I fought off multiple people with this packet... whatever.
I hear a scream and then a cannon, before I run over to investigate.
Tim Harrison- 17- District 5
I am silent as Basil walks past me. I go very still and quiet.
He just stands there for a second before sighing.
"Of course, Bella and Ceres fought... I wish Bella lived and not Ceres." he says. "Ugh."
I knew that it was the alliance exploding!
As he just stands for a second, I grab his only leg and trip him.
He screams as I grab my spear and make it enter his back repeatedly.
His screams are very loud, and only a deaf person cannot hear them.
He goes limp.
BANG!
The cannon has confirmed he is dead. Even with the armor, it would be very hard to survive about 15 spear wounds...
I gasp a bit though... I am a murderer of two people. Hope and Basil... I did this to them...
I frown at myself in disgust. I was wrong my whole life! The games were never good... Snow, Dad... they lied.
For the first time, I truly get what Brody meant on the train.
I see raging footsteps, and Elle and Star are here.
I see Star and Elle both holding packets of meat.
I cannot get up with these legs, and Elle slaps me with the meat. I scream, as Star and Elle both whack me repeatedly. Everywhere. I scream, and my vision is starting to fade... am I dying by a packet of meat?
I feel the cleaver of Star slash my throat.
I deserve it, I guess. At least I am gone from the lie that was my life.
Adrian Dunbar- 17- District 4
Two cannons have fired in the last five minutes... whoever it was... sorry, but you are just another piece to get myself home. Both of you.
Part of me hopes it is Corbel and Clara dead in the dirt. Ok, all of me thinks that.
I suddenly scream as a tree falls down. Acid leaks from it, and I glare at the camera nearby. I grip my trident, ready for anything.
A young man with flowing blonde hair everywhere, bloodshot eyes... not what I expected.
He is shaking, but he drawls his axe. But he points a gun thing at me.
"Oh no, spray water." I say lamely.
I duck as he does... it is not water!
It is acid. He has an acid gun, what the hell!
I run away, and duck as acid is shot at me. I throw my spear, and it finds its way into Cyrus' leg. Why do I never get a lethal hit?
I sigh, and run over to him with my trident raised, while he swings his axe at me, and it nearly kills me. I sigh in relief it did not.
Cyrus punches me to the ground.
He gets on top of me.
He is shaking.
"So... so... you are A-Sh-Shelly... her district p-partner. Y-you... she may have l-liked you... Sh-h-helly"
He cannot think clearly and is shaking.
Good.
I knee him in the groin, and he grunts, falling over.
I shove him in the river, and the current pulls him away.
This fight is now over.
I scream.
His hand accidentally pulled the trigger of his acid gun, and it flies towards me. It hits my finger, dissolving through the armor, and half of my pointer finger on my right hand is gone. Not lethal, but painful... ow!
I wheeze in serious pain, and I shake.
Ow. Ow. Ow!
How would Sirena feel... I am trying to murder a 14-year-old. Well, I tried and failed... but ugh!
I suddenly feel selfish... I have not thought of her much... the family interviews are next... Sirena would interview if not for...
Stop. Crying. Now!
Clara Brighton- 18- District 1
I just sigh.
Today has been rough... we lost all of our supplies, and Corbel is now out of the alliance. Stupid axe-
The anthem starts to play throughout the arena. The seal is gone and replaced with Tim in the sky... he was crafty and smart, and scored a nine... it is good he is dead.
Tim is gone and replaced with Basil... I respect him for lasting this long. With one leg, and being in the final 10... good job man.
And the day is quiet just like that.
There we go! Now 8 remain, and the family interviews are next! The games are nearly over... good luck to everyone left!

8 remain...
Basil- This was bound to happen eventually. With only one leg and having the lowest odds... well... things were not going to go well. Even with this set back, I feel like Basil did really well! With only one leg, he was able to do a lot! He survived the bloodbath, and nearly killed Tim. I thought the scene with Mina and her mom was cute and made the hunger games a purer place. And that is was! At first, I did not like him that much. But then I let him live longer since I was friends with IciclePower33. Then I started to love him! He was popular... RIP.
Tim- I really wish I could have let Tim go further than 9th! I know, sorry eightyeight88. Do not yell at me for not letting him go to third place. Anyway, he was hands down one of my favorites to write for! OMG! Lol. Him just... knowing! He had the knowledge and the power, scoring a 9. It was fun to see him just listing facts from the top of his head about the games. I was going to make him 7th place... but then I numbers and stuff were shifting, so I decided to kill off someone with no more plot left. RIP, to one of my favorite character. ;(
Go back to last chapter if you want to sponsor someone, everything is the same.
