I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was focusing on school, and then I guess I just forgot about this. But here's the next chapter! I hope you enjoy it!

Magic Pt. 1

Jollin Kraser, 14, D3 Male

The light hurt my eyes. I opened them slowly, getting used to the brightness. I saw a blue skinned man sitting at the foot of my bed. He smiled at me, got up, and started wheeling me over to large doorway. The other twenty-three tributes were being pushed toward the same space. "Lay back, hon," the man said. "You'll be back to normal in no time."

I lay my head back, but I was still looking around. The hallways were strangely deserted. We eventually came to a stop at a door marked with a pink heart. Another tribute was pushed into the room as well. The blue man lifted me into a chair then pushed my bed out. The other man did the same.

"What district are you from?" I asked the other boy.

"Four," he said. "What about you?"

"Three," I said. "I'm Jollin, by the way."

"Blaze," he said. Then he looked away from me. "I'm not much of a talker. Could you…"

"Not talk?" I asked. "Sure."

The two men came back in, smiling.

"Why are we together?" I asked. "We're not even from the same district."

"The serums were mixed up. We were going off of the colors of the serum, but they were wrong. You both have received the District One powers," the blue man said.

"Really?" I asked. "So what will our power be?"

"You can manipulate others to do what you want, but when you are injured, you will lose any power you have. Any scratch, bruise, cut. Anything," Blue Man said.

"Oh that'll be wonderful," Blaze said sarcastically. "I was getting excited about having complete control over water. I mean, the arena's a freaking island. There's going to be plenty of water! And not getting a scratch will be really freaking hard. Whatever. I'll still win this year."

"It's okay, Blaze," the other man, who I had dubbed Pink Hair, said. "We will be giving you lessons and you will learn everything you need to know."

"As long as you tell me what to do, I'll be fine. I'll win no matter what obstacles you give me," Blaze said, rolling his eyes.

"Okay, let's begin," Blue Man said, clasping his hands together. "Just concentrate on moving your mind towards mine, and try to make me jump."

"Just jump?" Blaze asked with an evil gleam in his eyes. "Why so simple?"

"Well you see, you need to-" Blue Man started, but then stopped. His hands slowly moved towards his neck, then gripped it. He started to squeeze. He was choking himself. And I had a feeling Blaze was doing it. I thought I could stop it so I looked at Blaze, glared, and then put the thought of him stopping into his mind. Blue man gasped for air the second Blaze's mind control was gone.

Pink Hair stepped forward and smiled. "You both will have more training later. But for now you will rest."

He left the room and Blue Man followed.

Finleigh Marrone, 15, D6 Female

I woke up in a large room with a bunch of other people near me. Then someone wheeled me through a large opening into a deserted hallway. I tried to stand up but the man pushing my bed pushed me back down. He wheeled me into a room that had a red sword engraved into the door. Some random guy was on a different bed, already in the room. The room was completely blank, all white walls, pretty much white everything. Sooooo boring. I visualized what I could do to make this room more interesting. Literally everything needed to be painted. This room was bad. I thought the Capitol had good fashion sense, but I guess not.

"What's your name?" the boy asked. "Actually, nevermind I don't care. I'm going to be killing you soon enough."

Then he just sat there, looking extremely smug. I had already made up my mind about him. I didn't like him one bit. I was just going to sit here wondering why I was in a room with this jerk instead of Aston, but then I remembered that there were other people in here. I looked over my shoulder and saw a man, completely covered in tattoos.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

"The district serums got mixed up," he said. "You two got the District Two power."

"Which is?" the jerk asked.

"To make yourself immune to any attacks for short periods of time," Tattoo man said.

"Sick!" Jerk said.

"Oh," I said. I had been kinda excited about getting to run fast. That would mean I could get away from everybody fast. But I guess this would be okay too. At least nobody would be able to hurt me.

"To use this power, just think about being invincible,"' Tattoo said.

I closed my eyes and thought about being invincible, about how nobody would be able to hurt me. I opened my eyes slowly. There was a slight red glow around me. Then Tattoo shot me. I mean, he literally shot me. With an actual gun. But it didn't hurt. At all. I didn't even feel it. Maybe this power wouldn't be so bad.

Flax Burton, 18, D8 Male

I woke up, laying in a bed, being pushed by some random Capitol idiot. I didn't want him anywhere near me, so of course I tried to jump out of the bed to murder him. But that didn't work out very well. My hands were in cuffs attached to the bed, and so were my legs. Oh and did I mention, there was one around my neck as well. The idiots who put me in this were definitely about to die. The man stopped in front of a door marked with a blue shield. He wheeled me in. There was a girl that was wheeled in after me.

"What am I doing here?" I asked.

"You both have been given the serums of District Three. There was a mix up of the serums. Your power will be superhuman strength," the idiot Capitolite said.

"Okay cool," I said calmly. "Now GET ME OUT OF THESE STUPID CUFFS!"

Emalynn Coria, 13, D5 Female

"Why am I here?" I asked. After I had woken up, some lady with long pink hair brought be to a room that had a turquoise trident engraved onto the door. Another girl, one with green eyes and curly brown hair, was brought in a few minutes after me. The man that pushed her was tall, with a tattoo of a trident down his right arm. He still had what I assumed was his natural hair color, brown.

"You two have received the powers of District Four. the serums were mixed up and you two received District Four's serum," Trident Tattoo answered.

"Then what will our power be?" the other girl asked. She had an extremely strong southern accent. I mean it was amazing how strong it was.

"Your power will be to manipulate water."

"Ooo, that's going to be very helpful," I said.

Trident Tattoo held up a glass of water. "I want you to concentrate on moving this water with your mind."

I closed my eyes and thought about what I wanted to do. When I opened my eyes, the water was hanging in the air, in a beautiful geometric pattern. I grinned and then made the water flow back into the cup. I liked this. Pretty sure I can win the Games with this too.

Serena Waters, 18, D4 Female

There was some random boy sitting across from me. I had never seen him before, but he seemed nicer than Blaze. I wish I didn't have to meet the other tributes before the games. But why was I in a room with him instead of Blaze?

"Where's Raylie?" he asked. "And an even better question is, where am I?"

"Raylie is not here. You will find out where she is later. And to answer your second question, you were accidentally given the serum of District Five. the serums got mixed up. Your power will now be to create and manipulate electricity. Just focus your mind, and you will be able to do anything," some guy said.

I closed my eyes and focused on making electricity. I heard crackling. There was a ball of lightning sitting in both of my hands. I laughed.

"This is amazing!"

Ellis Wilker, 17, D12 Male

When I woke up, some guy pushed me into some random room. There was another girl sitting there. She had apparently been there for a few minutes.

"My name's Sadie," she said. "I'm from District One. Apparently they mixed up the serums, and we somehow managed to get District Six's power. And that's superspeed. All you have to do is run. It'll be very helpful.

"Oh cool," I said. "My name's Ellis. I'm from District Twelve."

Her smile faltered just a little, then it was back. "Oh that's cool! I bet it's very nice there!"

"Mhm, yeah totally."

She definitely did not know how much District Twelve suffered. She was just a rich brat. I couldn't help but like her, just a little bit. She was very nice. And I guess superspeed will be cool.
