A/N Hi! Quick updates! Yay! Okay, I have several announcements.

#1. Go vote on the poll! So far, only four have voted. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO AFFECT THE STORY.

#2. The collab I'm doing with Sophie and Nadine is now at the Chariot Rides! If you haven't read that chapter yet, please do! At this time, there has been one review for the new chapter. Sophie likes reviews :) Find the link on my profile.

#3. Placing. Santiago. poncini pointed out that I didn't make the placings very clear, so here they are. Aerial was 24th, Sunnoria was 23rd, Aluma was 22nd, Clancy was 21st, and Ryde came in 20th.

Okay. Now, for your convenience, I will list all the alliances, at least, all the standing official ones.

Careers: Alexander, Chrystal, Easton, Satine, Larz, Sariose

Power Alliance (I just call it this because the members are from D3 and D5): Camino, Magique, Coil

Younger Boys: Rye, Durian, Ellery

District Eight: Artemis, Amery

District Ten: James, Sadie

Everyone Else (not in an alliance): Stream, Magnolia, Ember

Let's get going!

Camino Wire, District Three Male

"So..." Coil wonders aloud, his voice echoing in the abandoned, run-down factory. "What do we do?"

"Shut up, get moving, and find a place to settle for a while," Magique retorts. The Games have begun to bring up a violent, brash side of her.

At the Cornucopia, we did get anything; we just ran for the factories. Now I'm beginning to think that it wasn't such a good idea; we have no food. Magique, impatient with al our standing around, begins to walk in a random direction.

I look at Coil, and he shrugs. We follow.

After more walking, we hear a cannon. Huh.

"The Trained group?" Magique considers.

"If so, then they've started early," I comment. "Statistically, they don't start hunting until Day Two."

"So that means we should probably get a move on," Coil says, "No use waiting here for them."

"But we don't have anywhere to go," I say.

"Just shut up," Magique interrupts, "Why do you even care. If we stand around doing nothing, we won't get anywhere."

She has a point, and we continue wandering through the factory sector. We pass through small alleys and offices. We pass broken dirty machines and even an old printing thing. After a while, Coil speaks up.

"We should probably leave this place. It's becoming obvious that there nothing here that we can use now."

We all have to admit that he's right, and we start on our way out.

After a few more minutes of walking, Magique raises the question that we're all wondering.

"Umm, where are we?"

Great. We're lost in a factory complex without any sense of direction. We wander around the old broken buildings. Graffiti is painted on a few. There are a few tall cranes, and there are ladders going up the walls. All in all, this place gives off a deserted haunted feeling.

"Wait," Magique blurts, "I've got an idea."

Artemis Serenity, District Eight

Grass, grass, grass, grass, grass. I hate grass. We've been wandering for hours and all we find is grass. Of course, we're in grasslands, so it's to be expected, but I expected there to be something other than grass. It seems to be growing taller as time goes by. When we first entered the place, the grass was up to my nose, but now, It's taller than my head.

"This isn't natural," Amery comments, stating the obvious.

"Yeah. Tell me about it," I reply, fed up with this monotony.

"I'm pretty sure normal grasses don't grow this high," he continues, "I thought that grass wasn't rigid enough to stand this tall."

"You thought correctly."

We press forward. If only we could see above the grass...

"Hey Amery, I'll lift you above the grass and then we'll be able to see where are are."

"But if we're close to someone else, they could shoot me."

"No one uses a bow. Trust me."

"Fine."

He gets binoculars out of his backpack, and I lift him up. He's not too heavy; he probably doesn't get enough to eat.

"We're definitely far from the Cornucopia now... There're some mountains in the distance... They're huge.." He turns his head towards the left. "I see something blue on the horizon. Seems like an ocean."

"Hurry up, you're getting heavy. Can we reach the ocean?"

"Nah, too far. On our right side... There are a ton of metal buildings. We could make it by the end of the day. Some of those towers are tall..."

I strain to keep him up.

"Oh!" he exclaims, and I almost drop him.

"What?"

"There's someone climbing on of the towers!"

"What? Really?"

"Yeah! I can barely make out his face in the binoculars! It looks like the guy from Five!"

"What's he doing up there?"

"I don't know. Trying to figure out where he is, maybe?"

"It's too heavy, I'm gonna drop you now."

"Okay... Just wai-"

I can't hold him any longer, and he lands on the ground. He guts up and rubs his head.

"When you said drop, I didn't expect that," he comments.

"So what can we do?"

"I think we can make it to the metal buildings before the end of the day if you want a change in scenery."

"Please."

We eat a bit of the dried fruit in our packs, and we head for the buildings.

A/N This chapter was more filler, because I can't kill anyone before the results come in.

I'm bringing back questions! Don't feel obligated to answer them. These are for you if you don't know what to say in the reviews.

1. Do you think Coil's idea was a good one? What do you think of the alliance and their decisions?

2. Artemis and Amery... They seem pretty well off. Is going to the factories a good idea?

3. How have your opinions of the characters changed of the course of the story?

4. What would you like to see? No guarantees

I got SEVEN reviews for the last chapter! It might not seem like a lot, but it's a record for me! Thank you to my two new followers, IVolunteerAsAuthor and DelenalsEndgame101, and thank you to santiago. poncini, stellaslomp, DecidedlyDestiel, Shadowhunter824, SibunaMockingjay, Astra, and IVolunteerAsAuthor for reviewing!

Let's try to keep up that review count! I know I get at least 30 visitors for the chapter, and I know we can do better than 7. Even a one-liner, if you must, is okay.

I'm back to responding to reviews.

santiago. poncini: I'm glad you liked the chapter, even though Sunnoria and Ryde died. What were your thoughts when Durian saved Ellery. I'm just curious since you don't really like Ellery. Thanks for the review (and all your reviews)!

stellaslomp: Yeah, killing characters can be hard. I'm glad that I was able to create some sort of emotion in the writing. Thank you for being such a constant reviewer?

DecidedlyDestiel: I like this format too. This way, I can explore the characters more completely. And 18 more deaths... Thanks for the review.

SibunaMockingjay: Prompts? Hmm... How about... Clueless. Thank you for the review!

Astra (Guest): Glad to see a new reviewer. Artemis is quite an unusual character, and she's changed a lot from her original. Thanks for the review!

IVolunteerAsAuthor: :) Have you voted in the poll yet? Glad to see new readers and reviewers.

Shadowhunter824: Yeah, both of your characters. :)

Wow. Long ANs today. See you soon! ;)
