So here's the blodbath! This was a really hard chapter to write. I didn't want to kill of most of these tributes (minus like three, but that's besides the point) I'm hoping to get at least two if not three chapters out this week. Make sure you check out my profile to send the tributes something in the arena! Leave a comment and I hope you enjoy this chapter!

The Bloodbath

Briar Dogwood, 14, D7 Male

5, 4, 3, 2, 1… then the gong sounded. Raylie was on the opposite side of the arena, and I saw her throwing fire at everyone who came near her. I almost stopped just to watch her. She looked so fearless, and I loved it. But then I remembered that this was the Hunger Games, and I needed to focus. There was an ax near the edge of the water, so I grabbed it, hoping that Raylie grabbed something to eat. Then I ran towards where I had seen Raylie disappear into the woods. So far everything was going according to plan.

But then the boy from 8 flew at me, with a maniacal look on his face. I had no clue what to do so I closed my eyes and summoned the lightning that was lurking beneath the surface of my skin. I opened my eyes as the lightning flew out of my finger tips, so white that it blinded me. It hit the boy right before he reached me, frying him completely. I thought he would've died instantly, but he didn't.

"You….will….pay for…..this," he gasped, and the light left his eyes. He was dead. I looked down at my hands, wondering how I could have possibly killed someone. This was going to be terrible.

I had lost Ellis. After the gong had sounded, I had immediately sprinted for the water, since I had spotted a backpack and a pickaxe floating near each other. I dove in, grabbed the two items, and rushed back to the water's edge. Ellis was there, waiting for me. We started sprinting towards the cover of the tree and once I had made it, I found that Ellis was not standing next to me as I had originally thought.

I dove for cover behind some thick bushes, pushing my way inside them until I hoped nobody could see me. But I could still see out of them. There was just enough space that I could see Ellis running, using his superspeed, but there was another orange flash right behind him.

"No!" I yelled, just as Sadie reached him, skewering him with her sword. I knew that it had killed him, so I ran from the bushes, tears streaming down my face. I hadn't known Ellis long, but he was so sweet and did not deserve to be in the Hunger Games.

Serena Waters, 18, D4 Female

"Blaze, get over here," I growled through clenched teeth when I spotted him attempting to run away.

He glared back at me and said,"Catch me then."

There was fire and lightning from the pair from 7 crackling through the air everywhere, but nothing was going to stop me. I would kill Blaze. I threw my hands out, and lightning flew from my fingertips. From the corner of my eye, I saw the boy from 7 electrocuting the boy from 8, then run away. Blaze was in the water, going as fast as he could towards the cornucopia's island.

I reached the water's edge and laid my fingertips on the surface, calling the lightning. I watched as it danced over the surface and underneath the water, racing towards Blaze. He turned back to me and I saw the panic in his eyes as the lightning reached him, frying him. If that didn't kill him, then I didn't know what would.

I turned back around to survey the area. Sadie was stabbing the boy from 12, I think his name was Ellis, Cobalt had just killed his district partner, Eagle and Darwin were fighting the pair from 6, and Ajax and the boy from 5 were battling each other with the plants. They were the closest, so I ran over, grabbing someone's fallen sword. I chopped through all of the vines and leaves guarding the boy from 5's back and stabbed him through his back, right where his heart would be. Ajax nodded his thanks.

"Any more?" he asked.

"Not that I can see," I said. "Let's get to the cornucopia."

We dove into the water and headed over to meet the others. Two kills for me, a bunch more to go.

Emalynn Coria, 13, D5 Female

Marvlo died saving my and Jollin's life. I felt terrible, knowing I could've done something, what with all of the water in the center of the area. But we got away, and I guess in this that's all that matters. Jollin and I had found Briar and Raylie a while back. Briar looked quite traumatized.

"Hey, Briar, you okay?" I asked. To this he looked at me blankly, then nodded at Raylie.

"He had to kill someone. The boy from 8," she explained. "We didn't like him much, but still. It's a human being, I guess."

"Yeah," Jollin said. "Not saying he deserved to die, but he was pretty creepy. I'm glad he won't be bothering us anymore."

"Wait, stop," I said. "Listen. So you hear anything?"

There was a shadow in the trees, following our every move. Realizing it had been heard, it jumped out of the trees, yelling,"Boo!"

It was the boy from 9. He was unarmed. Raylie reacted the quickest, shooting fire at him. I went to stab him with my sword, but I couldn't see him. Raylie was shooting fire everywhere, and eventually it had to hit him. And when it did, his scream was earsplitting. But then he sat there, twitching. I stabbed him for good measure. We kept walking, on even higher alert.

After another twenty minutes of walking, we came upon a house. It was old, with columns that looked Greek in the front. We walked in, hoping it was safe. Inside, we found old looking couches, an old fashioned kitchen, and two queen sized beds. We quickly came to the consensus that this was where our base would be. There was food in the kitchen, so we would be able to survive longer without hunting.

Then the Capitol anthem rang out, and we rushed to the front of the house, craning our necks to look at the sky. The boy from 4 was shown first, then Marvlo, then the pair from 6, then the boy from 8, the boy from 9, the girl from 11, and last was the boy from 12. 8 people were dead but that only meant that there were still 12 trying to kill the four of us. Our odds weren't amazing. At all.

Here's our placements for the 100t Hunger Games so far:

24th: Blaze Coil - It really wasn't hard for me to kill him off. He was way too arrogant, but I almost wish he didn't die. But he did. Thank you Nautics for him!

23rd: Flax Burton - He was creepy. That's all I'm going to say. Thank to 04darkwarrior1!

22nd: Ellis Wilker - I hated to see Ellis go. I really did. But he was written in as a bloodbath tribute, so I had to. Thanks to IciclePower33!

21st: Lilac Amrin - We love Lilac. There was literally everything to love about her. (Deeeeefinitely not sarcasm there) Thanks to MonkeyPower435!
