The Games… Day One, Part Two

Author's Note: It's so hard to kill these tributes off… SIGH!

Amara Kaelyn (District Seven)

I run alone. I don't have any allies. Some people think it's dangerous to be a loner, but I really don't think it's a good idea to put all your trust in someone.

I sit up in a tree, munching on a hard piece of bread. The crust is cold. The crunchy bread is delicious and I close my eyes. I hear footsteps and I look up. I can't see anything, but I climb as high as I dare. The limbs begin to get thinner and I stop.

Terrana stares up at me. She smiles this creepy, blood-lusting smile. I start shaking as she starts to climb. I carefully test out the next branch. Slowly, carefully, I—

Fall. The branch breaks and I plummet to the ground. My hand closes around my golden beetle necklace. I hear the sickening thud of my body against the ground.

I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, mom and Keion… And… I'm sorry, Benevolence… Benevolence, please tell that boy you like him.

Vincent Lunaris

Once Coral dies, I split from the Careers. Flora follows me, of course. We watch as Amara falls from the tree. Flora turns away as Terrana finishes off the girl. I take her hand and run.

Do not get the wrong idea. I still don't like her, like her. However, she has my back and I need that right now.

Flora screams and I whip around. Terrana stands above her, knife bloodied.

"F-Flora?" I stutter. Terrana lunges at me and I dodge her. I try to get near Flora, but Terrana keeps me away.

"L-leave! Run!" Flora says weakly.

"I'm not leaving you."

"Leave, Vincent. I know… I know you don't like me, but it doesn't matter. I loved… you anyway. Run."

I dodge Terrana and rush away, leaving Flora behind. Terrana doesn't follow me.

Kaydence Bayle (District Eleven)

"Kaydence?"

I look up. Krish stands above me, kneeling in the wheat fields. He plucks the chaff off each of them.

"What is it?"

"Let's find somewhere to rest."

"Okay." We look around, Krish holding the food. I walk backward, against his back. If we die, we die together.

"What about… there?" Krish points at a cave. "It looks safe. Well, as safe as it'll get."

"Let's go."

Zroya Marks (District One)

I'm a killing machine! It feels so good. The Career pack surrounds our ground. Jared takes the first watch. I still don't trust that stupid Terrana Stoner, but I have to get some rest.

"Okay, let's go over our kills before we go to sleep," Terrana states. I nod. For once, I agree with her.

"I killed Sparkz and Selena," I say emotionlessly.

"Jocelyn, Amara, Flora." Terrana sighs. "And Coral. Well, we didn't kill her."

"We still have a lot of work to do," I groan. I lie down and let sleep wash over me.
