Night 1: The Darkness
Cordelia Wattson 15 District 3
After the sound of the horn. We rush back up the museum staircase towards the balcony, when we emerge outside I don't see anything at first…but that's seems to be the point because a few seconds later I notice a dark cloud engulfing the entire city. The brightly coloured lights from the buildings are disappearing into this dark void and it is getting closer and closer…
"Run!" I shout
I take off in the opposite direction, back down the corridor with my allies running behind me
"Wait Cordelia!" Akosua shouts
however, I feel the panic set in as soon the entire museum is covered in darkness…everything goes dark…
"I can't see! I can't see!" I shout
"Calm down! None of us can!" Bastion replies
I can't calm down! I begin bumping into objects in the museum causing them to smash to the floor!
Suddenly I grab onto someone
"Who's there!" I stutter
"It's me…it just me" Prince answers
There is a pause
"Could you let go now?" he asks
"Sorry"
"Wait a minute…I can see lights…numbers" Sadie says
"It's the numbers on our outfits"
She's right! The numbers on our outfits must be glow in the dark. There is a number on our front and back which only appears in the dark. Nearest to me I can make out the number 14 which is Prince. Then 12 which is Sadie and then two 5s which is Bastion and Akosua. We can still see each other... sort of
"Ok then…follow my lead" Bastion orders
We start following Bastion which begins to just looks like a line of glowing numbers, he appears to walk into something.
"Ouch"
"I'm ok…It's just a wall"
"Wait…I can see another glowing number opposite us!" he whispers
There's someone else there!
"Well what does it say?" Akosua questions
"I think it says…11" he replies
"Guys…is that you?" I hear Rye's voice ask
It's Rye! I breath a huge sigh of relief
"Yes it's us!" Sadie exclaims
"You found us!"
Acer Lynx 17 District 3
I notice steps leading underground as I rush away from the black cloud spreading around the city. The steps lead down to a kind of metro station, I quickly get onto one of the trains before the darkness takes over.
Everything thing goes completely black! I can't see anything! I feel my heart beat faster and I start to panic.
Just take a deep breath Acer…
I feel the tube begin to move, I wonder where its taking me? Or if anyone else is on the train? I hope not.
Due to the complete darkness I quickly lose track of time but I do know that I'm hungry. I pull my rucksack off my back and feel around for the zip until I finally find it and unzip my bag. Inside I feel what seems like a water bottle. I take a few sips from it and then I feel around for some food…
After I've eaten I begin to feel tired. Although it's impossible to tell, it must be really late. I know it's dangerous to fall asleep but I'm pretty sure I haven't heard anyone else in here… maybe I'll just close my eyes for a bit and lay down on the soft seat…
Marshall Dust 12 District 12
Someone bumps into me in the darkness
"Sorry…" Aluma mutters
"Watch it!" I yell
After we fell into the arena this annoying girl called Aluma joined our alliance. I was going to kill her tonight but then Satin died anyway so I decided to keep her alive.
"Watch the lights!" I bark to her
"Wait what's that?" Demetria exclaims
"What?"
"Lights…coming towards us…" she murmurs
"What does it say?" Aluma asks
"1,2…14"
"Shut up and run!" I yell
It's the careers! They are after us…
It's quite hard to run away because we were in this thing called an 'arcade' when it got dark. I crash into one of the machines
I roll over it and land on the floor, ahead of me I see the number 11 in neon lights…Aluma. I start following her by feeling my way through a door. I can feel the wind and air again. We must be outside on the street so at least there's less objects to crash into…
I hear a cannon sound in the air. Maybe it was Demetria because she's not with us anymore…
Maibee Turkish 18 District 14
6, 12 and 11
"Get after them!" Angel is yelling
I stumble after the 3 tributes in the dark with my katana in my hand. Sahara said I have to make a kill so I intend to do so in order to save myself…
I see the number 6 tribute appear to go down…she must have tripped over on the floor. I crash through the room desperately after them, when I'm directly behind the tribute I thrust my katana into them as hard as I can…
I hear the sound of a young girl squirm in pain… as I yank the weapon out I hear the noise of the blade on her flesh…it's horrible
A cannon fires…she must be dead…she didn't sound very old at all. I feel so bad for what I've just done! I never wanted to kill a young kid…
I hear the sound of the others gathering around me and even feel someone bump into me.
"I got one of them…" I murmur
"I think the other 2 got away"
"Good job Turkish" I hear Sahara's voice say
Boule Hadley 18 District 9
It's been dark for hours now, the fear has mostly gone away now we're used to it. At least I have Lola to talk to. I think the capitol have mostly believed that we're siblings since we have the same surname and they have no reason to believe we are lying.
"You know…I wish we had some of my fresh bread to eat right now" I say
"Actually I never really liked your bread that much" Lola replies
What? She doesn't like my bread that she stole from me twice!
"You're lucky I don't know where you are right now, otherwise you'd be in trouble for saying that" I joke
I hear her laugh
I'm glad to make someone laugh is these morbid times.
"I'm kidding…your bread was the best" she compliments
"You're just saying that to make me feel better…"
I stand up to stretch my legs and suddenly I feel myself crash into something!
"Ouch!"
Before I know it I'm on the floor with something on top of me!
"Boule are you ok?" Lola yells
"Yeah…just a minor…accident"
Suddenly I can feel something changing, I think my sight is beginning to return. I see the face of a clown and scream before throwing it off of me! It was just a statue…the object that fell on me.
"I can see again!" Lola exclaims
Lola is sitting a few meters away from me
"We seem to be in some kind of theme park" I notice
"Look the sun is rising!" Lola notices
I head outside and notice that she is right! I'll never take for granted the ability to be able to see again!
"What do we do now sis?" I ask
"We could go on the ferris wheel? She suggests
"No" I chuckle
"Aw come on…what sort of a big brother are you?"
I look at her as if to say "Really?" She is taking advantage of this whole sibling thing.
"Alright maybe later" I concede
I head over to the ferris wheel and find a chest in one of the compartments. Inside is some food, water and nunchucks
"Hey! Do you want these?"
I toss the nunchucks to Lola and she catches them before studying them
"May come in handy" I add
She shrugs and puts them in her bag
So yes the twist is basically that there's a different twist each night. This night it was complete darkness but each night something completely different will emerge from the nightmare dimension. Trust me its gonna get a lot weirder soon so hope you are excited!
Anyway here are the eulogies

25th: Satin Tellresh (District 8 female) Killed by Sahara Chrystal – Stabbed in the throat.
24th: Demetria Anderson (District 6 female) Killed by Maibee Turkish – Impaled with katana. Demetria was another bloodbath tribute so I don't think the author will mind too much that's she's dead.
