OK, so I am still writing the interviews but I decided to give you a post-Hunger Games chapter right now. The Games don't actually start, but you can see or read about the arena. Enjoy!
Sixty Seconds
No One's POV
Sixty seconds.
Sophie-Anne looks at where she is. She seems to have been lifted up to the sky. She looks around and sees different platforms, each with a different kind of environment. The one she was on along with everyone else was a forest with a mountain, a small pond on the edge along with the Cornucopia. Sophie-Anne looked beside her. It was the boy from Twelve. He grinned at her. She frowned at him and kept her eyes on the Cornucopia. I'm going to win, she thought.
Fifty-nine seconds.
Fifty-eight seconds.
Fifty-seven seconds.
Glitz breathes in and out as she keeps her eyes locked on the Cornucopia and the set of knives. She quickly tears her eyes away as she looks beside her. Sebastian from Four was there. He turned to her and nodded. Glitz nods back and focuses her eyes back to the Cornucopia. She thinks about herself being the victor and her sister finally dead. She sighs happily. Finally I can prove myself, she thought.
Fifty-six seconds.
Fifty-five seconds.
Fifty-four seconds.
Glam glares at the Five girl beside her and she glares back. Glam looks away and takes in her surroundings. The forest, the snow-covered mountain, the pond, the Cornucopia. She grits her teeth as she thinks of how to get the weapons and supplies she wants. She thinks of her allies and Xavier. She smiles and relaxes a bit. Glam looks at the Cornucopia and gets ready to run. I can do this, she thought.
Fifty-three seconds.
FIfty-two seconds.
Jayce tries to calm down as he looks around him. The boy, Warren Peace from District Nine was beside. Jayce swears quietly as Warren shoots him a death glare. Jayce feels like he shrunk and carefully averts his eyes from Warren. He tries to find his allies and sees them far away ing the distance. He gulps and tries to focus on the Cornucopia. I hope I don't die, I hope I don't die, he prays.
Fifty-one seconds.
Fifty seconds.
Xavier gets ready to sprint to the Cornucopia. He sees the Cornucopia beside the pond, which is not too far from him. He sees who is beside him and find the bigger District Eight boy scowling at him. Xavier narrows his eyes and returns to watching the Cornucopia and listening to the rings. Let's do this, he thought.

Ivena runs through her plan to get supplies from the Cornucopia then meeting up with her allies. She finds out that Jocelyn is beside her, looking nervously at her.

Sebastian looks at his surroundings. He is on a platform with a pond, mountain, the Cornucopia and a forest. On his left, he sees Glitz and he nods. Sebastian also sees another platform. It was covered with water and little islands. He smiles and turns back to the Cornucopia. He smirks for the cameras. Just relax, he thought.
Fourty-four seconds.
Fourty three seconds.
Zephelia smiles as when she sees the Cornucopia. She locks eyes on the spears and knives. She does this for a while then thinks it's wise to concentrate on where she is. She looks around and finds herself in a field and the Cornucopia, a pond, a forest and a mountain in front of her. The tributes were in a semi-circle. She discovers that the girl from One, the Glam girl, is next to her, glaring. Well, we all know who's going to win, she thought.
Fourty-two seconds.
Watson breathes heavily and opens his eyes when he finds out that he has reached the arena. It is a platform floating in the sky. There are a total of four platforms, each with a different environment setting. The girl from Seven was beside him staring at the Cornucopia. Watson thinks that he should pay attention to the Cornucopia too. Where are my allies, he thought.
Fourty-one seconds.
Fourty seconds.
Thirty-nine seconds.
Medic's teeth chattered as he was lifted up to the arena. He quickly tried to find his allies but found the little boy from District Eight looking at him, scared. Medic gave him a smile as he kept looking. Medic stopped smiling when he couldn't see them very well. He looked at the Cornucopia and all the weapons laying there and the Careers ready to pounce. Can I not be in the Hunger Games, he thought.
Thirty-eight seconds.
Thirty-seven seconds.
Elana Knott looked beside and found Watson, the guy from Five breathing heavily. She rolls her eyes and stared at the forest, wishing she was back in her own forest. She blinked and focused on the Cornucopia, thinking over her strategies and how she will win and go back home. It's just a game, she thought.
Thirty-six seconds.
Milo looked at the person next to him and found himself staring at his girlfriend, Reyna. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Milo took in his surroundings and thought about his advantages. He breathed and kept his eyes on the Cornucopia for the reminder of the sixty seconds. Get the ax, get Reyna and run, he thought.
Thirty-five seconds.
Thirty-four seconds.
Star tried to stop her legs from trembling as she glanced around. She found herself in a field of grass and a pond right in front of her with the Cornucopia just beside it. Next to her was the girl from Ten, whose name Star thought believed was Laurel. Star tries to focus on the Cornucopia and fails. I can't do this, she thought.

Nathan scowls at the boy beside him. Xavier was his name and Nathan didn't really like Xavier. He glares back at Nathan then turns away. Nathan rolls his eyes and concentrates on the Cornucopia.

Kari smiles as she imagines herself the victor of the 100th Hunger Games. She shakes her head and glances at the person beside her. It was the boy from Eleven, whose name Kari thought was plain weird. Kari averts her eyes from him and instead focuses on the Cornucopia and all the goods that was inside. I'm coming home as a victor, she thought.
Twenty-four seconds.
Twenty-three seconds.
Warren Peace growled and glared at the Two boy. He watched as he shrunk. Warren rolled his eyes. He knew that he couldn't kill him anyway, due to the fact that he was twelve. Warren growled again as he focused his eyes on the golden Cornucopia and the weapons that were scattered everywhere. Who's going to be able to kill me, he thought.
Twenty-two seconds.

Reyna smiled as she saw Milo Dylana, her boyfriend beside her. Milo smiled back. Reyna sighed happily then remembered where she was. She was in the 100th Hunger Games and she was here to kill or be killed. She looked around and saw most of the tributes looking at the Cornucopia as if it would disappear. What am I going to do, she thought.

Laurel breathed deeply. She listened to the rings and knew that only seventeen seconds remain. She quickly looked around her before she forgot. The girl, Star from District Eight, was beside her. Laurel tried to find Gent and found him about seven people down on her left. Laurel focused her eyes on the Cornucopia and stopped daydreaming. Whatever it takes, she thought.

Gent saw the forest and thought he saw something moving. He wondered what lurked there. The Twelve girl was beside him and he could tell that she was wondering the same thing. The look on her face said it all. Gent listened closely to the rings and knew he had not very long before the gong rings. Who's dying first, he wondered.

Jocelyn runs through in her mind what she thought could happen during the bloodbath like who would die, who would get injured. She was very nervous and scared.

Eleven seconds.
Ten seconds.
Runner tried to find his girlfriend, Ivena, but found himself looking at Kari, the girl from District Nine. He sighs and tries to concentrate on the Cornucopia but gulps when he sees the Careers staring menacily at it. Well, I'll be dying soon, he thought.

Kel Pratt discovered that the boy from Ten was right next to her and that she was on a floating platform. She looked over at the forest and saw a shadow moving. Her eyes went wide open as she turned back to look at the boy from Ten to see if he saw it too. It seemed to Kel that he did. Kel tried her best to look brave. I need to be alive-I NEED to win, she thought.
Eight seconds.

Kaden grinned at Sophie-Anne and received a frown in return. He shrugged and observed his surroundings. He looked behind him and found a platform filled with snow. He shivered and looked down at his outfit. Both the shirt and pants were made of cotton and wasn't what Kaden called warm. The shirt didn't even have a hood and it a short-sleeved. Kaden groaned. What is going to happen next, he asked the world.
