Wow, two updates in one day? Yeah not really. I had pretty much finished the last chapter yesterday, so I just finished it today. And now here's the next chapter. Leave a comment and enjoy!

Day 3

Darwin Loncar, 17, D2 Female

I hated that the cornucopia was surrounded by water. I could barely swim. Whenever we were going across to hunt, and I was the last in the water by far, Serena gave me weird looks. I hated that she had taken charge of our group. So she got the highest score in training. Who cares? Ajax was right behind her, for crying out loud! Whenever she started giving us orders, it took everything in me not to argue with.

"It's time to go hunt!" Serena announced cheerfully, waking those of us that were actually asleep. You could tell that Cobalt hadn't slept for most of the night, in fact, I had seen him tossing around during my watch shift.

"Let's go," I growled. "Today is the day I kill someone."

"Yeah okay," Serena said.

I dove into the water before everyone else did, so that I wouldn't be the last one in. but even Cobalt, who was from freaking District 11 beat me to the other side.

"I spotted smoke coming from that direction before we left," Cobalt said.

"Ooo, that's wonderful," Serena squealed. "How about you four go take care of that, and Darwin and I will go the opposite direction and see if we find anyone."

"Shouldn't I come with you guys?" Sadie asked, but abandoned her idea after Serena glared at her. I wasn't worried about Serena. Even though she got a high score, I really do believe that she's harmless. There's no way she'd do anything to me, especially this early in the Games.

"Okay," I said confidently. "Let's go kill some people."

Serena and I started running in the opposite direction that the other four were running. Soon enough, we were deep in the forest. It was actually quite beautiful if you stopped to look at it. The sunlight streamed in from between the leaves, creating intricate patterns. If this wasn't literally life or death, I would just sit here, gazing up at the sky.

Serena held her trident at a ready position. "Did you hear something?"

"Nope," I said lightly. "Pretty sure we're fine."

"No we're not," Serena said. "You're the Career that shouldn't be a Career. Even Cobalt's doing better than you, and he's from District 11. Oh and did I mention that he's actually likeable? You're always glaring, and genuinely looking mad."

BOOM!

"Well, looks like they found the person they were looking for," I said, ignoring everything she had just said. It's not like she would act on any of her feelings. I turned around to head back to camp. All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my back. I looked down and saw three golden tips protruding from my stomach.

"And I found the person I was looking for," Serena said, and my vision blackened to nothing.

Cobalt Roots, 15, D11 Male

We met back up with Serena at the Cornucopia. She had a fierce expression on her face.

"Where's Darwin?" Ajax asked.

"Dead," she said simply. "Where's Eagle?"

"Also dead," Sadie said. I was surprised she was holding it together. I thought she and Eagle had been pretty close. "How'd Darwin go?"

"Some tribute ambushed us, killing Darwin before I had the chance to ran before I got a good look. How about Eagle?"

"We were also ambushed," I said. "The girl from 3, I think. She killed Eagle, and then ran. I did cut her pretty bad though. Don't know how she'd survive with the amount of blood she would probably lose."

"Good," Serena said. "Then we should be hearing a cannon sometime today or tomorrow?"

"Yeah," Ajax said. "It's too bad that we've already lost two of the Career pack though. And that the other tributes are even able to sneak up on us. We need to be much more alert."

"I agree," Sadie said. "The other tributes have snuck up on us way too easily. The four of us need to stick together, now more than ever. And Cobalt, you're a Career now. You've proved yourself to be worthy of the title."

"Thanks," I said, grinning. That was one good thing about these Games. Jase would see how strong I really was. But I wondered how our relationship would be when I got back home. And how the entire district would welcome me. I had killed Lilac, after all. But I figured that they would see it the way I did. I gave her a quick death, instead of the long, hard one she would've gotten by starving to death. Because I can tell you she knew nothing about surviving.

"So who do you think killed the girl from 9?" Ajax asked, changing the subject. "Was it the same one that ambushed us and killed Eagle?"

"I think so," I said. "It makes the most sense."

"But it could've been the person that killed Darwin," Sadie pointed out.

"Yeah, I don't know," Serena said. "Why don't we just focus on killing everyone and making sure nobody else sneaks up on us."

We nodded and started making our way back to the cornucopia. We had lost two people, but I felt like I had gained something. People actually liked me, and I have to admit, it was freaking amazing.

Jollin Kraser, 14, D3 Male

There have been two deaths so far today. The four of us were sitting around the table in the house's kitchen. The Careers had to be out hunting, killing whoever they came across. I wondered who was dying. But as long as it wasn't any of us, I was happy. So far, we had it pretty easy.

"You all good with the plan?" Emalynn asked.

"Yeah," Briar replied. He had started talking again, but mostly in one word answers. Every day, Emalynn and I would go and walk around, near the house, to give Briar and Raylie time alone. I honestly think that it's what saved him.

"So we'll stay together until the feast, if there is one?" I asked. "Then go our separate ways."

"Yep." Emalynn said. "I just don't want to have to kill any of you. You three are awesome."

"Ditto," Briar said.

"I didn't think that I would make any friends here, especially since this is the Hunger Games, but I did. If Briar or I don't win I sincerely hope it's one of you two. I don't want one of those crappy Careers to win," Raylie said, smiling.

But the moment was interrupted by the Capitol's anthem. I hadn't even realized it was dark yet. The boy from 1 and the girl from 2 had died. We all gasped collectively.

"Who's killing the Careers?" Briar asked. He was actually smiling.

"I don't know," breathed Emalynn,"but I don't think we want to find them."

14th: Eagle Rose - He was pretty much the typical Career. Thanks for the submission though!

13th: Darwin Loncar - I liked Darwin. They were a good character. But on the submission, it said, final four, unless they get stabbed in the back. I read this after I had already gotten them stabbed. Thanks for the submission!
