Day 2.

It was a new day in the arena, which means a new day to die. The 17 remaining tributes are in for an eventful day today. Today will be the 1st day that an arena event will take place. The party themed arena meant that their was gonna be party theme events. The 1st event will be hide and seek, but not just ordinary hide and seek, deadly hide and seek.

"Attention Attention Tributes, an arena event will commence shortly, we will be playing a game of hide and seek. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!" The booming voice of the Gamemaker says.

Most tributes were confused by what the gamemaker just said. Are they really playing hide and seek? Little did the tributes know that they will be hunted by a group of vicious mutts.

A few seconds after the gamemaker stopped speaking a song began to play. Most tributes found it creepy and gave them chills, but most of them decided that if they play, maybe they will get a prize.

Who wants to play a game?

It's time to play hide and seek

Run, run, run

Time to run and hide

Run, run, run

And now I'm going to find

You scurry off into the darkness

Hurry, I'm behind you

Don't you speak

Hide and seek

Tiptoe through the cellar or crawl under your bed

Anywhere you've fled

I am going to find you

Stay inside the shadows

All you girls and boys

Don't you make noise

Or I am going to find you

Run, run, run

Creep up on my grave

Run, run, run

Stalk the night away

Scuttle off into the night

But what'll be behind you?

Don't you speak

Hide and seek

Like a frog inside a skillet, a lobster in a pan

You don't understand

That I am going to find you

Be still as a mountain and quiet as a mouse

'Cause any little sound

And I will surely find you

Tick tick tock

Are you ready or not?

Tick tick tock

Listen to the clock

Hasten off into the night

Don't waste another heartbeat

Don't you peek

Hide and seek

Let the countdown begin

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

One!

Ready or not, here I come!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

The song finishes, which meant the vicious mutts were released.

Hunter Namone, 18, District 8 Male

I was one of the few tributes who found the idea of playing hide and seek stupid and decided not to play. This morning I found my district partner. .

"Do I really have to play Pam?" I complained.

She turned to me and smiled at me, she acted less shy to me then she ever is with most tributes. We are close friends too.

"Yes silly, come on lets hide!" She cheerfully told me.

As I rolled my eyes, I ran with her, holding her hand. It was actually pretty nice holding her hand. As we made it towards the chocolate water river she pointed towards to waterfall.

"Let's hide there!" She says as we rush over to the waterfall.

As I ran into the waterfall, I felt as if we were being watched. I don't know what was watching me but I have a weird feeling. I sighed thinking it was just in my and I sat down on the pinkish red rocky floor. As we stay quiet. Little did we know that we were followed.

As we sat there for at least 20 minutes, me and Pam got bored. We both suddenly hear a laughter from outside the waterfall.

"What was that?" Pam askes worried.

"I don't know Pam. I'll go and see." I say getting up and heading towards to waterfall entrance,

As I reached the entrance I see...nothing...I sighed in relief for a second but as I was about to go turn around I felt something drip on me, something thick. I looked up nervously seeing a clown with a sinister grin on his face as he was drooling. I screamed as I ran back over to Pam.

The clown jumped down and sinsterly smiled at me and Pam. He followly got closer and closer as he did I saw his sharp teeth and long claws.

"I FOUND YOU!" The clown said ina voice as if it was demonic.

He began to charge at me and Pam, I grabbed Pam's hand as we ran screaming. We started to climb up the waterfall, quickly as we could. Pam made it up first, she held her hand out to me.

"Grab my hand! I'll pull you up!" She says panicking.

I looked down quickly, noticing that I was at least 70 feet up. I reached out my hand to Pam, but couldn't grab it as the clown grabbed my legs. I knew I couldn't do anything or I would be killed, so I turn to Pam and looked at her with tears forming.

"Go…..It's...Okay...I will always be in your heart." I say calmly.

"Wait- What- No- Please!" She begged me.

"I let go of the waterfall cliff as I plunged down 70 feet. As I fall down my head exploded like a watermelon, as my brains opened out of my head. The clown however managed to survive, dragging my body away.

"NOOOO! Hunter!" Pam cried out with pain in her eyes. She had feelings for him, but could never tell him.

She felt as if she couldn't let Hunter down, and knew that he would want her to keep going. With a bow of her ran off.

Jordan Ruzicka, 13, District 7 Male

I sighed as it was getting dark in the arena. I was walking with Vista as I played with the knife I got from my backpack.

"Can we take a quick break? I am a bit tired…" I sighed as I say to Vista.

Vista looked over at me and gave me a smile and a nod. We sat by the tree near us. As we rested blood dripped down onto both of us. As we looked up we !scream. It was the boy from 8's headless body impaled onto the tree. Words written in blood would say "I found you!"

I was nearly about to puke at the sight and me and Vista got as far away from it as possible.

We soon heard the announcement that the hide and seek event was over. Did something kill that boy because they found them? Who knows...I'm just glad the event is over.

Deaths - Day 2

17th Place - Hunter Namone, 18, District 8 Male - Head exploded after sacrificing himself and falling 70 feet off a cliff.
