Michael Ishkavik, 18, D6M

I'm hugging my knees to my chest and leaning on the wall, I'm not sobbing anymore, I just stopped but the pain is still there, her blood is on my hands. "I should just kill myself right now, I don't deserve to live." I say as I look at my bloodied glaive that's sitting beside me, I'm getting dehydrated, my throat's dry as sand and my lips are chapped and dry, not even licking them is helping anymore. I put my hand on the shaft of the weapon, the weapon that took my sister's life. However before I can raise it to my chest I hear a rapid beeping.

Sponsors, for me?

That's surprising. I open the parachute and there's a small note inside.

Win for her Michael!

Then there's two bottles of water, he's right (My mentor Allen), I shouldn't take my own life, that would be an insult to Aya's memory. We went through tough times and I'm alive, I won't let that all be for nothing. So with that I open the bottle of water and drink a mouthful, it's so refreshing, fresh water at last! Now I'm ready, I'm ready to face the arena.

And I'm ready to win.

Kim Shae, 13, D3F

I ran away, I left early in the morning while David was sleeping. It would be selfish of me to keep clinging onto him like glue when it's the final eight. It's best that we part ways now, I'll try to take care of myself and he can take care of himself and saying goodbye would be too hard. Hopefully I won't have to see David again for the remainder of my time in the arena because he was one of my closest friends in here, him, Ari, Robert, if it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't be here now. I owe all of them. So now I'm just walking, I'm walking far away, just wandering but I know I'll need a plan soon.

Kim Shae is a smart girl, I always figure out a good plan. And I know I'll need a good plan if I'm going to win, there are some dangerous tributes left and I can't face them head on. I took a four crystals and Xavier's long sword all in my backpack, David will know what happened, he's a smart guy and he'll know not to carry on looking for me. It's just me and the arena now.

I'm ready.
